    My Favourite Phone Charger and #Giveaway Too

    October 8, 2014 - By 

    The Lifesaver III arrived here just in time for Blissdom Canada so I charged it up and packed it in my laptop bag and got ready to attend Canada’s most important social media conference. Now, as every iPhone user knows, Apple gadgets often run low on battery. They may be workhorses, but battery life isn’t ideal. My iPhone battery runs down fast when I spend the day tweeting, posting, sharing, liking and seeking out Google Maps directions to find the nearest restaurants. At Blogher in the summer I forgot my free no name charger that came courtesy of some event…

    My Monopoly Game: New Personalized Take on Classic Board Game

    September 5, 2014 - By 

    My daughter Ainsley is a huge fan of Monopoly Junior and the new Monopoly card game we got this summer as well. I have many fond memories of playing Monopoly as a child with my Mom and brother. We were cut throat game players in the 80s and 90s and we were nothing if not extremely competitive. So Monopoly, in any form, makes me slightly nostalgic. This past month we received My Monopoly from Hasbro. We just started playing it this week. My Monopoly is completely fun, of course, as all Monopoly games are, but personalized Monopoly means you can…

    Fairway Solitaire Blast is the perfect app for your card loving friend or family member. I have a card shark in my house. One of my daughters loves cards and she has from the time she was little.

It’s comical, in fact, how often she beats everyone in this house at games like War, Snap, Go Fish. Crazy Eights is another favourite and Old Maid too. So…
