5 Tips for Successful Holiday Tech Shopping!

Did you know that Staples is a great place to shop for all your favorite tech gifts for the holiday season? Staples even carries the popular Kindle in-store with a cool interactive display where you can try out the product and see if you like it!  It seems these days that tech toys are the hottest gifts on everyone's list!! How can you keep up with changing technology and keep the holidays affordable?? Here are my tips for successful holiday tech shopping!!
1.  Get age appropriate gadgets!! A young child of course doesn't need a cell phone, or an ipod.  There are alternatives, like a cell phone that only calls preset phone numbers, and there are child versions of music players. Same for digital cameras and other fun gadgets. Why get something nice they will ruin? Find one of those indestructible ones so it will last longer.

2.  Don't try to keep up with the trends. Seems like a new phone or music player comes out every 5 seconds. Okay maybe not QUITE that fast, but you get the idea.  By trying to keep up with the "latest and greatest", you are just going to waste money.  Yes, that new phone is super cool.  But do you NEED it? And next month or 3 months from now, that same phone will be improved and have a new name. Wait until the item is cheaper.  Phones break easily anyways.

3.  Learn to say no!! Your teen may whine and say buy mom everyone else has one!! If you can't afford it, or you already did your shopping for the year, don't give in to please your child.  THEY WILL GET OVER IT! And by not giving them everything they want, you teach them to be grateful for what they DO have.

4.  Shop around! Don't just buy the item because it is there! Save money by comparison shopping and watching for sales. Why pay full price when you can get it for less? This will free up money for other things!  Of course, if the item is hard to find, this doesn't apply! If this is the case BUY IT WHEN YOU FIND IT!!

5.  Don't stress over getting the holiday gadgets!! Shopping should be enjoyable, and if you are making yourself crazy trying to get all the hot holiday gadgets on your family's wish lists, you are going to make yourself insane!! Stick to your budget, and buy things you know your family could use.  And while you are at it, make sure you pick up a little something you want too! The shopper in the family deserves their wish to come true too!!!

So there you have it!! 5 ways to help make your holiday shopping for tech gadgets this year successful!!  Once you get all the shopping done, get yourself a cup of cocoa or a coffee, sit back and relax! It's time for you to enjoy yourself!!

PUJ Baby Sling Review



Up until about Halloween, I had never used a baby sling. I had used other types of carriers but never one that you wrap and wear. They seem kind of insecure to me so I was too nervous to wear one. Then one day I came across PUJ Baby and their amazing baby slings. This looked so secure and comfortable, I had to try one! So when PUJ Baby offered to send me my choice, I was so thrileld!!


I chose the beautiful Heather Go Sling!
I don't have it fully folded down on the shoulder like it should be but I wanted to get this picture on it! I love this sling! I t is really secure, and my little one (she is almost 2) fits in in and it makes it easy to go to the mall or wherever when I can hold her this way and worry more about the older two!  And I love that I can fold it up and throw it in my purse or bag and use it whenever I need to! It is quick and easy to put it on and go!  This sling makes my life so much easier!
Product Description:
Need an extra hand? Maybe you're about to go on vacation and don't want to deal with the stroller at the airport? Or maybe you just need a simple solution for all those quick stops you make here and there.
Whatever the need, PUJ makes parenting easier. With the "Go" sling you're in and out in no time. No straps, no buckles, no zippers and no metal rings. Just throw it over your head and you're good to go. You can even put it on while holding your baby.
Really! It's that easy. And it folds flat so you can easily store it in your bag of tricks. It's there for all the times you weren't planning on stopping. It's comfy, it frees up both hands, and is machine washable. Your baby will love you for it. Plus your arms won't start to burn 7 minutes into your 4 hour red-eye flight to Chicago. The "Go" sling by PUJ.
So simple you'll actually use it.


  • lightweight
  • minimal
  • compact
  • portable
  • modern design
  • machine washable
  • easy on+off
  • no straps or buckles
  • convenient
PUJ is launching the Puj Booti in early 2011 around Feb. sometime. It was just featured in Pregnancy and Newborn Buyer's Guide! The price will be around $32/pair for the symmetrical Booti!:

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOT ON MY BLOG!

Free Ben's Moustache for the Movember Fundraiser!! Help support a great cause!!

Have you heard of Movember?? The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. 

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st  clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month.  The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men.  Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days. 

The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia.  The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health.  Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement. 

In 2004 the campaign evolved and focused on raising awareness and funds for the number one cancer affecting men – prostate cancer. 432 Mo Bros joined the movement that year, raising $55,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - representing the single largest donation they had ever received.

The Movember moustache has continued to grow year after year, expanding to the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and Finland.  In 2009, global participation of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas climbed to 255,755, with over one million donors raising $42 Million US equivalent dollars for Movember’s global beneficiary partners.  The funds raised through Movember’s US campaign benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

The PCF uses the money raised by Movember to fund research that is accelerating the discovery of better treatments and ultimately finding a cure for prostate cancer.  One such program is the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center’s research, which has recently made a significant breakthrough.  They identified 24 different kinds of prostate cancer and how aggressive each is.  This should enable scientists to soon be able to answer the agonizing question facing men with prostate cancer: does their cancer need immediate treatment, and if so what is the best treatment, or can it be left alone?

LIVESTRONG uses the money raised by Movember to fund important programs to support young adults and their families battling and surviving cancer.  These programs include:

•     Fertile Hope, an initiative dedicated to providing reproductive information, support and hope to cancer patients and survivors whose medical treatments present the risk of infertility.

•      My Planet, an online community of peer support that allows young adults to find and communicate with other young adults whose lives have been affected by cancer.

•      Continuing Nursing Education program on Young Adult Cancer Survivorship. LIVESTRONG encourage nurses to know the warning signs of cancer, understand what types of cancer for which young adults may be at risk, and learn about cancer screening.

The success of Movember can be directly attributed to the more than 627,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who have supported our cause since 2003.  Movember is sincerely grateful for their efforts and appreciates all they do.  (-From About Movember )

For those of you new to Movember, we challenge you to join us in changing the face of men's health.  Please donate to the cause!! I am featuring Ben Blundell in this post and ask that you donate to him:

 Ben's motivation for this is to change the face of men's health!! He is doing a great job but I am posting today to ask you to donate more to his great cause!! For every dollar you donate, you will get one extra entry into the contest here of your choice! To qualify, click here to donate, and comment here on his page saying donor from Frugal Family Fun, then come to your favorite contest and leave me a comment (one comment for every dollar donated) and tell me that you donated. I will be checking this!! 

If you cannot dontate, you can also get extra entries for tweeting and spreading the word!! For every tweet you tweet that includes #Movember and  #FreeBensMustache and this link: http://us.movember.com/mospace/1182954   you will get one extra entry in the contest! And you can do this as much as you want!!  Here is a sample:
#Movember Offender Alert! #FreeBensMustache & cure prostate cancer!! http://us.movember.com/mospace/1182954

You can do this Until November 30th!!

  Each tweet can be used one time for any contest.  You can tweet as much as you want, but for each tweet it counts as only one entry for only one contest.  Put the link to your tweet in the comment form for the contest you choose.  You should also say Movember tweet in your comment!!

Sears to the Rescue!! Sears Hometown Review & Giveaway!!!

Laundry day is never an easy task. We have 5 people in this house plus a dog, plus all my friend's kids and nieces that are constantly here, playing and getting messy! I love it all but it doesn't make my job any easier. We are an active family, and love to play outdoors! We love to go to the park, hit the mountains to hike, and we really love to camp!  This really puts my washer and dryer to work! Luckily I have Sears Appliance to help me get the job done!! The Sears hometown store has a great staff who are there to answer any questions you have! They will help you get the appliances you need!

Camping is so much fun because you get away from the t.v.and the electronics and you get to spend quality time as a family! We love the days in the mountains, no matter how messy they are!  We get dirty playing in the forest, building a fire, and cooking marshmallows!  The sticky messes end up all over the place-their faces, hair and of course their clothes! When we return home, I have to wash everyone's clothes and hope they come out! Luckily my washer and dryer can handle the job and the clothes come out nice and clean. You can't even tell that the day before they were covered in dirt!!

I love going to Sears to check out the latest appliances.  Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly.  And if an employee doesn't know the answer, they will find someone who does! This makes the shopping experience pleasant!  I love being able to compare the different dryers to see what the best deal is for the money! The staff asks questions about my needs, then helps to find the appliance that will fit my budget and my life! I know the Sears appliances are ones I can depend on to always get the job done right! 

No matter what type of sport or outdoor activity you enjoy, you can rely on your Sears appliances to help keep your families clothes clean and neat.  Let the kids get as dirty as they want! That is part of being a kid-being able to play without having to worry about your clothes!  And you can relax knowing that the stains will come out!  You have Sears on your side, so get messy and have fun!

I found all sorts of great goodies for them from Hasbro!! I love their new Spiderman, Transformers and Star Wars action figures! These are great for little boys for the holidays!!


I got the chance to review 2 items from Hasbro!!:

Spider-Man - Blaster Armor Spider-Man

Wherever villains are found, you and your Spider-Man figure can team up to defeat them! Suit up your hero in his “armor” so he’s prepared for action. When the evil-doers are finally in sight, make this mighty warrior launch his “missile” accessory and fight until the bitter end!
Figure comes with armor and launching web accessories and three Fiercest Foes battle cards.
Ages 4 and up.

Star Wars Saga Legends: Luke Skywalker

Luke leads an attack on Imperial AT-AT walkers that are moving toward Echo Base. He instructs the other snowspeeder pilots to use their harpoons and cables and aim for the legs in an attempt to take out the Imperial walkers.
An “intergalactic” battle is raging — and you and your Luke Skywalker action figure are about to enter the fray! Arm your warrior with his secret weapon accessories so that he’s ready to charge into combat against his fiercest enemies. Whether fighting for the fate of the “universe” or standing at attention in your collection, this awesome action figure puts all of the excitement of the Star Wars saga right in the palm of your hand!
Figure comes with secret weapon accessories, Galactic Battle Game card, battle base and game die.


They also have new transformers toys!:


TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS SKYBURST with AERIALBOTS

All of these toys are great and inexpensive!! They work great as a gift in the stocking or  under the tree!! Any little guy would be excited to get Spiderman or a Star Wars action figure for a Christmas present!!  Even my little girls were wanting to play with them when they arrived!! These toys are very popular!!
