Tatum at Tatum’s Family Reviews is a stay-at-home mom to three children, and she and her husband have a strong devotion to family and their kids. She has a chronic illness that she views as a blessing rather than a curse. Tatum hosts a lot of giveaways (and has some great back-to-school giveaways going now!)

The Dinner For Two Project was inspired by the blogger’s mom – it is about “exploring and exploiting the fulfilling potential of food and easy entertaining within intimate relationships to enhance and strengthen those ties by creating special shared experiences.” There are a lot of great recipes you could make with someone you care about to enhance your relationship.

Jen at Born 2 Impress is mom to a little girl, and runs an Etsy store where she sells handmade baby accessories like knit hats adorned with flowers. She hosts tons of giveaways – and be sure and check out her special events, including the Mommy & Me Born 2 Impress event that ends next week and the Everything Home event that starts in September!

Health Insurance has changed so much during the past few years.  I remember going to the doctor ten years ago and just paying my co-pay.  Insurance covered pretty much everything else.  That doesn’t happen nowadays.  It’s a good idea to check around with several insurance companies such as Blue Advantage and others, compare rates and coverages, and then try to make an educated guess which insurance is right for you.

A blogger friend of mine has had a lot of trouble with her laptop which she purchased at a well-known retailer.  She’s so glad she took out warranty insurance when she bought it because that has covered all of the repair costs.  I guess for those getting a laptop, taking out a warranty or getting some laptop insurance is something to at least consider.  You never know when the same thing might happen that happened to my friend.

School is getting closer and closer, and many schools will be starting next week.  Kids are anticipating that first day of school, and some have already started.  Some adults are going back to school, too, or maybe taking some extra classes or seminars like Forex training seminars or whatever they need in order to improve that area of their life.  People of all ages will be in learning mode!

One of my dreams is to someday get a laptop.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m very thankful to have my own computer which works fairly well for being an older computer.  I don’t have to use my husband’s or borrow our son’s when he’s at home.  But still, I would really like to have a laptop!   When the time comes that I’m ready to look for one, I’ll probably check into wholesale laptops and other places where I could get a good deal.  But I can’t foresee that being anytime soon.

Congratulations to Shannon, the winner of the Brugo Travel Mug!  Thanks to everyone for entering and wish I had a mug to give everyone who did enter!
