I know all about it... Back to School season. I was a student for most of my life, and then I was on the opposite end as a teacher. Back to school can be fun, stressful, hectic, busy, and can even get a little expensive. If you have school-aged children, then perhaps your teacher gives you a list of classroom necessities. I love lists- it really takes the guesswork out of what is really needed, and also ensures that your child is fully prepared ...

Beat Back to School Bugs with Culturelle!
Back to school season is just around the corner, and in some states schools are already in session! The summer has been brutal, creating a great breeding environment for lots of colds and viruses. My toddler, who hasn't been sick in about a year, has gotten sick TWICE within the past month! With high fevers, sniffles, and a bad case of lethargy, my little girl is so over being sick. I know that once kids get sick, their weakened immune system ...
Meet the iNotebook!
We are in the market for an iPad but I have so many questions, especially about how I will use it. My biggest problem is that although the iPad may be convenient in some instances, it really doesn't beat having a computer, especially in my situation where access to a keyboard is a must. Now that there are plenty of options out there as iPad add ons, I am getting closer to justifying this purchase and jumping on the iPad bandwagon. Another ...
Say Cheese and Win Big with Dunkin Donuts!
From the moment my eyes open in the morning, and probably even before that, my mind is racing. I am usually awoken by the shriek of my toddler who hates waking up or by my infant who is starving and needs to be fed ASAP. Sometimes, both will wake up at the same time and it's all about them! I can say I'm typically a morning person, but lately I'm not an afternoon person. I started to skip my morning coffee because this summer has been so busy ...

Wireless phones, wireless internet, wireless router... is there anything they haven't come up with? With modern day technology being completely wire-free, my question to you is: how do YOU transfer your files from camera to computer? If you are still plugging in your camera to your computer, then you are living in the past!

Back to School File Storage with Lexar
It wasn't until I started college that my professors required me to bring my own USB drive for computer classes. Regular classes didn't require it, but I was a computer animation major, so file storage was a must. Toward the end of my college career, it seemed that every class I took required file storage, since projects and labs were to be started in class and completed at home. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or just a mom who needs a ...
Back to School with Contigo!
Back to school season is here and that means it's time to start thinking about innovative lunches and practical ways to transport food! My toddler is just like her mommy- she's a little uncoordinated and can be clumsy, so I have to make sure that anything I pack for her is easy to use and spill proof. A regular plastic water bottle just isn't an option because she will most likely spill her water, plus it leads to a lot of waste each year. Did ...
Making the Classroom Less Scary with Bubele’s Patch Buddies
Back to school may be a scary time for new students and parents alike. Some children adjust very easily while others take some time to warm up to their teachers and fellow classmates. I remember my first few days of preschool. I was very excited to be a big girl and go to school like my older brother, but once I got there it was a different story. My mom had started working as well, so my grandmother dropped me off. It seemed that all the kids ...
