One of my favourite features was the Wi-Fi Certified networking that allowed me to print wirelessly from any computer in the house. There isn’t a whole lot of space around my desk and so being able to have the printer set up in any room in the house without having to worry about connecting it was wonderful. [Read more...]

Surprise Mom with a Parker IM Premium Pen this Mother’s Day-Giveaway

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and this year, Parker has a gift that Mom is sure to love! The Parker IM Premium in Metallic Pink is available in fountain pen, ballpoint or rollerball options and makes a stylish gift that’s also incredibly useful! I received the Parker IM Premium rollerball pen in Metallic Pink to review. It is the first really nice pen I’ve ever owned and I couldn’t wait to test it out.

The refillable pen casing and rollerball cartridge come separately, so after assembling the pen, I tried it out on a scrap of paper by the desk. The pen has a nice dark, thick line but what I really liked about using it was the feel of the pen in my hand. The metal body gives it a much more solid feel when writing than a cheap disposable pen.

We all know that kids love a special plush friend, but what about Moms? Cuddling with something soft and loveable is just as much fun for us mothers as it is for our children and that’s why Build-a-Bear Workshop is celebrating all that mothers do this year with a special Mother’s Day Super Mom bear! This gorgeous bear will warm Mom’s heart and remind her of just how super she is!

Build-a-Bear Workshop Super Mom Bear The bear is dressed in a too-cute Super Mom t-shirt with a shiny pink skirt, purple cape and mask and cute sparkly Skechers. She’s feminine, stylish and very, very super. I think my favourite thing about this bear was her adorable shoes. Comfortable sneakers perfect for running after kids, with lots of glitz and glam because even when a mom is on the move, she can still look fabulous! I’m going to be putting my Super Mom bear up on my office desk as a reminder that I am, like every mom, super! [Read more...]
