No more tears in the kitchen
August 21, 2008
My mother is a very sentimental woman. She’s always crying about something. Whether it’s a birthday, her grandkids growing like weeds, a sappy greeting card or if she’s chopping up an onion to put in a meatloaf…watch out, because here come the waterworks. When I saw these Onion Goggles from King Arthur Flour, I figured I could at least get her to stop crying in the kitchen.
Music to Swimmer’s ears
August 19, 2008
I love to swim, but I’m no Olympic phenom like Michael Phelps. Maybe I’ll be inspired in the pool while doing laps if I listen to the Olympic theme song on my Finis Waterproof Swim MP3 Surf Player. The SwiMP3 Surf waterproof MP3 Player is a swimming music lover’s dream come true.
I’ll get to it…someday
August 13, 2008
In our office, everyone is always asking me to do something. Nigel change this cover, Nigel put more toner in the copy machine, Nigel talk to this client, Nigel kill the spider under my desk. These witty Task Clips from Room Service Home, help me stay organized so I can keep all of my tasks in order without killing anybody.
Milk it for all it’s worth
August 5, 2008
If you’re a Mom (especially one of 3), you make a whole lotta chocolate milk. That’s why this cool Moo Mixer from Room Service Home is always on my counter. It’s only $15 and makes mixing chocolate milk more fun than cow tipping.
Watch me Sleep
August 4, 2008
I’m a bad sleeper. I toss and turn and kick around like I’m kung fu fighting that crazy panda character, plus I hate waking up right in the middle of a perfect dream. This Sleeptracker Watch from Brookstone makes sure I get my beauty sleep every night of the week. It monitors my body and helps me wake up more refreshed than Rip Van Winkle.
You spin me right round baby
July 22, 2008
All guys love multi-functional items…two-in ones, three-in-ones…we just can’t get enough of the in-ones… This Crosley Songwriter Recordable Turntable available at Brookstone is more than just a record player and CD burner in one, it’s my new best friend.
My Secret Garden
July 8, 2008
Grow your own herb indoors
People ask me all the time- “Dear Trish, how does your garden grow?” With Aerogarden Pro 2000 by AeroGrow I say. I don’t care if you have a green thumb, purple thumb or polka dotted thumb, with this garden godsend you’ll be growing tomatoes, beans and herbs in a snap. Snap peas too while you’re at it.
Warm hands, warm heart
July 8, 2008
My hands are always cold, especially in my office where it’s usually freezing. I’m hesitant to bring a muff to work (it would most likely make typing difficult) so I’m thinking of getting this Re-usable Hand Warmer from Proswing.com.
Telling night time
July 3, 2008
You’ve heard of sundials? Check out this stardial. I bought this Night Stardial from WStar Designs so my daughter and I could tell the time by the position of the stars. By stars this thing really works! And it’s only $29.95!
Take a picture, it’ll last longer
June 24, 2008
Everyone loves showing off their digital pics. Whether your just snapped a photo of your new bouncing baby boy, your trip to Mardi Gras, or the 30 pound bass you caught, this Digital Photo Keychain from Paperdirect.com is a great way to show off those cool pics of the day.
Sundialing it in
June 13, 2008
I’m a sucker for anything historic or antique. Throw in a super cool function, and I want it even more. Check out this 18th Century Sundial and Vintage Compass from Museum Store Company.com.
Smoothie Queen
June 11, 2008
I drink a lot of health drinks and Smoothie King is cleaning me out. I’d love to make my own fresh, delicious smoothie concoctions at home, but who has the time? I think this Hamilton Beach Drink Mixer from Parker’s Pantry might help.
