Stuff I liked- "This stuff rocks"

Y'all know I do reviews. But really, who wants to see a bunch of boring reviews or reviews telling you how awesome a mediocre product was? What about writing some tired lines about a product that sucks? Not me.

I decided if I like something, you will know. If I don't, you won't. Unless the product really sucks, like bleaches out your colored clothes. {coughs-Tide with Bleach Alternative-coughs}

Without further ado, I give you, "This stuff rocks."

 

List Plan It. I tried it. I liked it. I am even buying the extended plan to keep using it. Affordable, good stuff.

Brain Child Magazine. Totally worth the subscription fee. Not the usual fluff you see in parenting magazines. For the "Thinking Mom."

Half Moon Ranch books. My stepdaughter (13) loves horses and is very picky about books. I didn't read them, but she said they were great. She would know!

   

Oral B Vitality toothbrush. Got it and loved it. Loved it so much you get one too. Leave a comment about your favorite thing you ate over Thanksgiving. I'll pick a random winner and you will get a new fancy schmancy toothbrush. Cool, huh?

I have a few other products I am reviewing. Some things I am still reading or deciding on. One thing rawks my sawks, you'll see it on Friday. {swoon} Some others stink hard, I'll just pretend I never saw them. :)

Love, alli

Linkapalooza, Baby!

   

Welcome back to my lazy gal's guide to staying in the know.

Black Friday sales up 3% from last year. Police search for jerks who trampled Walmart employee. Charges will come.

Latest Mumbai news. Plan was to kill 5K. Pray for those affected. How citizen journalism played a part.

Obama team tilts right? Clinton to accept Sec. of State nod this week.

NY Giants star Plaxio Burress shot himself in the leg at a nightclub.Who says sports stars aren't heroes? ahem.

Twilight Mania! It's a hit.

Brittney wowed the crowd at her comeback performance.

Mariah Carey is preggers? 

Rosie O'Donnell's show is a huge FAIL.                

Michael Phelps say it ain't so. The Vegas waitress? 

 If you want to see all the great posts that I stumbled this week just visit my StumbleUpon blog. I review lots of info in Social Media, blogging and Homemaking as well as lots of random goodies.

Much love to you all, alli

Happy Thanksgiving

Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!

This is my big kissy blog goodbye. I'll be back with fresh fussiness when I wake up from my turkey and cranberry sauce induced coma.

Oh, so many of you said not to photoblog the 24:Redemption {swoon, it was awesome!} movie yet. Who knew so many of y'all DVR'd it! So everyone go watch by next week, Ok?

Also, I am close to declaring a total email bankruptcy. I am out of control. I may have to just delete everything, wipe the slate clean, and start over. Have you emailed me and not heard back? Send again, pretty please? I am horribly disorganized.

Ok, one more thing, we redid the main page of my baby. Go look at Blissfully Domestic. Doesn't it look pretty?

I would love to hear from you. What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

My love to you all. xoxo, alli

Linkapalooza and 24 Return. YAY!

 

I have an annoying habit of starting weekly features and then not following through. As Glenn Beck would say, "I am riddled with ADD." Tis true, y'all know all my shortcomings. I'm not a details gal.

I used to have a Linkapalooza with random posts that I liked. But I stopped because for every post I linked to, there were 50 that I loved also. The stress of leaving out great work was too much.

Then, in a moment of brilliance, so I thought, I started the "Twitter Linkapalooza". After the second week into it, I discovered Schmutzie's Five Star Friday. Some of you know I'm a wee bit touchy on the issue of copying people, so I just dumped the twitter linkapalooza. Schmutzie does it way better anyhoo.

So then there was a wasteland where my Linkapalooza once linked. What to do? I had to do some thinking.

 

Then it hit me! I'm kinda the Queen of Stumbleupon. I love discovering links to headlines, cool stuff and random oddities. Why not share it all with you and bring Linkapalooza out of hiding?

Sound good? Good! Look for the return next Sunday! This week I'm too busy obsessing over...

Who is watching 24 with me tonight? You might as well, because you are gonna have to hear about it every week this winter. {blush}

Remember these oldies but goodies?

 

or maybe this one?

 

Ok, I admit it, I am way excited. Twitchy excited. Like take the boys out to haul rocks around a field to ensure an early bedtime excited. Who is with me? Oh, if you haven't watched before, no worries, each season starts new. Jump right in. I'll photoblog it here tomorrow!

Love, Alli

PS- SQUEE!

Free stuff and Funnies

 

The fabulously blingly chicbud winner is Ali. Because the first entry never wins anything, until now. Congrats, Darlin'.

   

The winner of the Build-a-bear giftcard is Beth. She would use the giftcard for foster kids in Phoenix. Can't beat that. ;)

Wanna giggle?

I laughed too hard at that one. I published it over at Blissful LOL, too. Remember to visit Blissful LOL everyday for some clean, yet seriously funny stuff. That is rare online, huh?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love you, Alli
