• Win CometTV Swag!! GIVEAWAY!!

    Comet TV giveaway swag

    I love a good scary movie. Except of course The Exorcist. Sorry, I saw that movie when it first came out at the theater. (Yeah, I’m that old!) But, that movie scared the c*#@ outta me! It may have been the Catholic in me or the fact that it WAS SCARY!! But, still to this day I can’t and WON’T watch that movie. When my kids were teenagers they wanted to rent The Exorcist and I immediately said NO. Finally after much begging I caved (while still trying to convince them it was too scary to watch!) I threatened the kids telling them they were going to watch it alone and I don’t want to hear it if they have nightmares like I did. The next morning my sweet teenagers laughed and mocked me because apparently that was not scary in the least and they said I was a wimp!! I don’t care! I’m never watching it again!! E-V-E-R! Now, if you are like me and love a good scary movie or a good sci-fi adventure then you have to check out CometTV.com a new free network dedicated to science fiction and horror programming, playing the best cult classics, sci-fi…

  • Wireless V4.1 Dual Mini Bluetooth Headphones. Totally Wireless! Review!

    I have a great gift idea for anyone that listens to music or books on their iPads or Smart Phones. Seriously, amazing set of Bluetooth Wireless Headphones. Not just any ole wireless headset either. This headset is totally and completely wireless ear buds. 2 ear buds that fit inside your ears with no wires. I love these! Added bonus, there are 2 additional pair of ear-caps included with the FKANT Earbuds so I am pretty sure that you’ll find a pair to fit your ear comfortably and securely. I fully charged my little earbuds before I did anything else. It only took 1 hour to fully charge. Added bonus is the USB cord splits off to two charging cords. All in one piece. That is a GREAT cord!! To pair the ear buds is super easy, but there are a series of steps that you have to follow. Starting with distinguishing the left and right. This can be done easily, check under rubber the ear piece that reminds me of a backwards number 7. There you will find L or R. On the Right earbud, long press the silver on button located on the front. This takes 5 to 7 seconds.…

  • Diamonds In Ice Review

    Okay my NaNa hat is on once again! Speaking as a G’ma my favorite gifts are truly handmade from my munchkins and photos!! I absolutely can never have enough photographs of my 3 sweet Grandkids. I love those faces! Yes, THESE faces:This picture, taken by my daughter Selena truly sums up how much personality these guys have. They are funny, funny little humans. THIS picture had to be printed somewhere! So, you know I was giddy when Diamonds In Ice reached out to me about having one of my own photographs added to glass. No frame needed. This is an amazing gift idea!! A gift that will truly stand out!!  Do you want beveled glass? Curved glass? Flat glass? Ornament or coaster? Ahhhh so many options!! The Diamonds In Ice website was a little confusing for me at first. I knew exactly which photograph to use (Seriously? How could I not use the photo above?) I opted for the curved, beveled and horizontal glass. I was so thankful for the curved glass option because I knew that between our 100 pound Golden Lab, Gracie and 3 Grandkids; curved glass  was a must because wouldn’t easily topple over. I was right! Curved glass…

  • How Do I Knit If I’m Left Handed?

    Yarn

    Knitting is one of the world’s most favorite pastimes. From the wide range of types of yarn to the vast array of patterns and items to knit, knitting is a very versatile and creative habit to undertake. It’s been around for hundreds of years, and it is definitely here to stay. The benefits of knitting are many, and there’s nothing quite like curling up in a comfy chair or corner somewhere and knitting something for yourself or for a loved one. However, if you’re left handed, you may be wondering if knitting could work for you. Many people are not aware that knitting is easily modified for left handed people. It’s not more challenging for left handed people to knit than it is for right handers. It is simply a matter of adjusting to the process and practicing on a regular basis. The main challenge that left handers may have is that knitting books, knitting magazines and the knitting patterns found within them are typically written for right handed knitters. Here are a couple tips for lefties interested in learning how to knit. What are the main styles of knitting and which style would work best for me? There are…
