Just popping in to let you know that if you were looking for my thoughts on the Palm Pre Plus or the HP mini 311 I had on loan from Verizon Wireless you can find the review at Family Rambling.
Over and out.

Though it’s never a bad thing to have one of your projects really “take off” it can cause one to neglect others.  And that has been happening more and more here at Iowa Geek as my travel sites have begun taking me places I hadn’t really imagined and are requiring more and more time.
I’m going [...]

It’s coming up on midnight…  It will be midnight by the time I finish this post and tuck into bed.
Thankfully the swag bags are all filled and loaded into my van.  The blackout bingo cards for door prizes are almost done printing.  I’ve got to make some door signs and then I’ll call it a [...]

Six weeks of planning is coming to an end!  Des Moines Moms Nite Out is this Thursday and I think it’s going to be an amazing evening!

Being a stay-at-home-mom involves anything but staying at home.  Sure, there may be times you’re home but more often you’re …

running kids to school
waiting in line to pick kids up from school
waiting while kids are at practice for (insert sport, music lesson, dance class, gymnastics lesson, etc here)
making a “quick stop” at a store for [...]

Here in central Iowa those showers that replace the brown grass with green and bring the flowers up from their long winter slumber can turn from a friendly spring rain to a nasty storm.  (I’m actually wondering if we’ll have one tonight as my head is hurting due to the change in barometer, but for [...]

Yes, I’m really still here… Hope I didn’t scare you!  Things have been busy here and with the nice weather you can bet that we have been playing outside a lot!
When I haven’t been playing with the girls I’ve been busy planning Des Moines Moms Nite Out.   If you haven’t registered yet you’ll want [...]

How to “do it all”.  If I had the answer for that I would be wealthy.  I think many of us seek that answer if the room full of women for the “Striking a Balance” session at Blissdom was any indication.
I’ve written before on trying to find my balance (Still Seeking Balance and Finding Balance) [...]

Des Moines Moms Nite Out will be held at Staybridge Suites in West Des Moines!  I am realy excited about this location as it provides lots of room for pampering and fun!
Businesses around the metro are getting involved to help give Des Moines moms a great night of fun and pampering!

I completely suck at losing weight.  I have very little willpower when confronted with any baked good and though I know that the first few bites of anything taste the best I have trouble stopping myself from eating too much- thereby losing the taste all together.
It’s very frustrating for me to feel so weak.
I’ve tried [...]

When I was at Blissdom I had the opportunity to sit down with Hallmark writer Sarah Mueller (a native Iowan!) and talk about encouraging kids. It was fun to do and I really enjoyed perusing Hallmark’s new Kids Collection which includes necklaces, keychains, water bottles and, of course, cards.

BTW- you can get a free [...]

As a mom I don’t know that there is much that will make you feel more helpless than when you have a sick child.   Caelan’s runny nose from yesterday morning became a full blown cold last night.  The first time I went to check on her she was breathing through her nose which resulted in [...]

If you haven’t bought Valentine cards yet then I have caught you just in time.  Because Hallmark sent me some of the most unique cards I’ve seen in a long time.  These cards go beyond sound- though some have it- to augmented reality.
What is augmented reality?  It’s software (download), hardware (your webcam) and the card [...]

The Opryland Hotel in Nashville is incredibly huge.  It has gardens, waterfalls, a river and miles upon miles of paths.  So when a gentleman walked up beside me at the elevator I didn’t think twice about it.  He said hello, I said hello.  He said, “This place is so big; I keep getting lost.”  I [...]
