Not enough room

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

So I may have mentioned before that we just don’t have a lot of space in our house.  I mean our kids rooms are not very cluttered and the living space isn’t but our room is pretty packed.  We have 2 desks and a king sized bed and a couple night tables.  We don’t have cable but we have a 36 inch flat screen in the bedroom that Tony uses for his computer and then we watch movies on it at night.  The problem is that the TV sits on his desk and that doesn’t leave much room for him to do school work.  We just don’t have room for any tv stands.  I think what we may have to just do is get a wall mount for the TV.  That way it is up off the desk, hopefully the kids won’t be able to reach it (they like to touch the screen) and it will just be up out of the way.  Maybe we will have to check those out.

My iPhone

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I can’t say enough about how cool this phone is.  From the ringtones that sound like someone is pushing a doorbell buttonor a barking dog to the cool applications.  Most of the websites I use have an application.  Like Godaddy so I can manage my online store or ebay to manage my ebay store there is an app that I can download to have instant access. 

I use the notepad function the calendar and now that I have unlimited data plan I use the internet a lot. 

I thought I would have trouble getting used to the touch screen but frankly it was an easy transition.  It has landscape view which gives the virtual keyboard a bit more space.  I love the iPod as well.  When I have it hooked up in my car and I am listening to the music, if I get a call it mutes the music and I can have the call on the car speakers. I am sure a lot of phones do that but I don’t think my Samsung Blackjack could.

Overall I just think the phone is badass!!

Waste of money?

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Tony and I have been discussing over the last couple weeks about whether we need to have cable.  When I think about what I really watch on TV, do we really need it?  I watch some talk shows and game shows, my kids don’t watch TV.  We get Netflix and that is what we watch most of the time.  We spend about $50 a month and don’t really use the service.  I mean the TV is on all the time but I don’t really watch it, nothing is ever on.  We have basic cable with HBO and I n ever seem to be able to find anything on. 

It’s not that I can’t live without it, it’s that it has been the norm to have TV.  For as long as I can remember I have always had TV.  We have talked about cancelling the cable service and I think I am going to do that within the next couple weeks. 

The other thing we want to do is get a new plasma TV’s with  plasma mounts.  I want one for the living room and one for the bedroom.  I want them on the wall so Lil Tony won’t touch them and for the bedroom especially because we really don’t have room for it anywhere else. Tony wants to get a TV that he can also use as a computer monitor.  That way with the Netflix we can also use the “watch instantly” option. 

We will have to wait until we get our tax return because we just don’t have the extra money to get anything now.  LOL!

iGo Everywhere Power Adapter Review

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

I was recently given the opportunity to review the power adapter from iGo.  We are a family of gadgets.  We all have cell phones, we don’t have a home phone at all.  We have a couple digital cameras, Nintendo DS, a laptop, and Zunes.  So this device is wonderful because it comes with a car charger and wall plug.  I love that it has the car charger because I don’t always remember to charge my phone at night and when I am out and about running errands, my phone battery dies.  So I have the convenience of using it at home or on the go.

They sell attachments for a wide variety of gadgets.  I was sent one for my phone, Zune and digital camera.

I also listen to my Zune in the car and when the battery gets low it is nice that I  could charge it.

I was sent the iGo Everywhere Power Adaptor.

    A little bit about my family:
    I am a SAHM of 4 wonderful children and I have the most amazing boyfriend! I am trying to get my online business up and running. Paper crafts and scrapbooking is what I love to do in my free time (when I get some, 4 kids keep me busy) and to try and turn my hobby into a way to make money so I can stay home with my kids that would be wonderful. If you are in to paper crafting and scrapbooking or know someone that is please check out my online store: Artfuldelight.com. Nicki, Tony, Isabel and Max are the joy in my life, I love being home with them but sometimes money can be tight. Hopefully I can have some success with this store.
