As part of the Brookstone Review Crew I recently had the chance to review the new Big Blue Live Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. I love when I get the opportunity to review electronic gadgets. I love to have the newest, biggest, and badest when it comes to technology. So when I was sent this product to review I knew it would be a hit in the house. Surround yourself with crystal-clear sound wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device—from your smartphone and MP3 player to your … [Read more...]
If you are a long time reader of Shibley Smiles then it is no secret that I love Bob Harper. I am a loyal fan of The Biggest Loser and met Bob Harper during a conference.

So when I received a request to try out Bob Harper's Smart Success supplements I thought it would be a great fit for Shibley Smiles. I've been on again off again with my weight loss now for the past almost … [Read more...]
Spongebob is one of my favorite "of the times" cartoons. He is just goofy and funny, kinda like myself at times. So a Kinect game centered around the loveable character was definitely a must when it came to choosing games to review. Spongebob was watched by all three of my kids as they grew up so he is well known and loved in the Shibley household. SpongeBob’s Surf & Skate Roadtrip is non-stop action! SpongeBob and his bodacious Bikini Bottombuddy jump on surfboards and … [Read more...]
As the Kinect gains in popularity more and more games are introduced to the market. I'm excited to take the time to review for you the games I have had the pleasure, or sometimes not the pleasure, to try myself.

Though this is a one player game I try out all games with my daughter, because she wouldn't have it any other way. Before I start with my review … [Read more...]
When is the last time you thought about shopping online for pet supplies? One of the most inconvenient chores on my hubby's to-do list has to be stopping to get cat food and cat litter. Twilight, our asthmatic cat, can only eat Hill's Science Diet, and can only use Fresh Step litter. Because of her asthma and allergies, we've been advised to stick with what works, the only problem is, not everyone sells Science Diet! The stores in our area that do sell it are off of our … [Read more...]
Usually I'm pretty up-to-date on the newest technological product. So imagine my surprise when Klout told me I had earned a perk in technology that I had never heard of. Not to mention I found that other people already knew all about it. I had no idea what Eye-Fi was but it sounded cool so I accepted it. When I then learned more about what it was I couldn't wait to give it a try. What is Eye-FI (for those that are still trying to catch up like me) The Eye-Fi card is … [Read more...]

Do you ever think what is the one thing you would miss most if something happened to your belongs? For me and for many people the answer is our photos. Before computers became my photo storage area I use to ponder how I would get them out the door or which ones I would take if something happened suddenly and I had to flee my home. Once my main storage became my computer I planned to burn them all to CD and store my photos somewhere safe. Turns out you can only fit so many … [Read more...]
When you think of baking what company is the first company to come to mind? Wilton of course! Now I don't pretend to be a baker with any skill, though I do prefer baking to cooking so I was excited that Wilton wanted to sponsor Countdown to Black Friday.

We decided to give almost all of them a try, the … [Read more...]
