I have a new desk lamp that I really like. Right now I am using the OttLite Natural Daylight Desk Lamp at my desk where my computer is and where I work each day. One of the things that I like about this lamp is the cool design. It has a sleek and modern look and is available in 5 different colors.

In addition to this lamp looking cool on my desk, I like the light that it provides when I turn it on. This light uses the 508® Natural Daylight Illumination and includes an energy efficient 13 watt OttLite bulb that has been rated to last up to 10,000 hours. My favorite time to use this light is at night. I can turn it on so I can see what I am working on, while not lighting up the entire room at the same time. There are times when I want to work late at night, but don’t want to keep the hubby up with the bright light in our room.

Here are some of the Ottlite Natural Daylight Desk Lamp features:

• Designed with a weighted base
• Easy to find on and off switch
• Available in blue, black, silver, pink and green

If you are in the market for a new lamp, OttLite has a great selection of lighting and lamp products to suite your needs. On their website you will find bulbs, floor lamps, desk and table lamps, beauty lights and more. To view all of their products, visit OttLite at: www.ottlite.com.

When it comes to snacks I buy for the kids, I am one of the moms that likes to stock up on fruit snacks. They might not be the most nutritional snack, but they are good!

This month we were able to try the Ocean Spray fruit flavored fruit snacks. My daughters told me after trying them that they were the best fruit snacks they have ever had. I had quite a few packages and I think they are one of the best I have tasted too! I normally buy the fruit snacks that are the cheapest. Since my kids go through them fast, I usually buy the store brand. After trying the Ocean Spray snacks, I notices just how much more flavor these snacks had. For me, I can’t just eat one pack. I am thinking they should have Big Kid size packs too!

The Ocean Spray Fruit Flavored Snacks come in two different varieties. These would be  their “Assorted Fruit” and “Berries & Cherries“. I like both of them, but if I was to choose between the two, I really LOVE the Berries & Cherries. These snacks are made with real fruit juice, natural colors and flavors. These yummy snacks are also only  80 calories, gluten FREE and contain 100% of the Daily Value of Vitamin C.

Another reason why I like these and plan to buy these now is they come with Box Tops. We are a family that collects every single box top that comes through our house to give to our children’s schools to give them any extra help they can get.

Normally if I am watching something on TV, it will be either a movie on Netflix or one of my favorite reality shows. I have found a show that isn’t a reality show that I really like. Last month I watched the entire first season of Switched At Birth on DVD. Watching the first episode got me hooked and I wanted to make sure I was caught up and ready for season 2 that just started this past Tuesday. [Read more...]

Last year I took an amazing trip with my daughters Ariyona and Hailey to New York City to hang out with our fellow Crayola Pop Art Pixies. While we were there we got to walk the pink carpet, check out some amazing sites in NYC, cruise in the totally awesome blue Crayola tour bus and more! The trip was something that I will cherish and remember for a lifetime. Even though it was just for a weekend, me and my daughters made a ton of great memories. (Find more posts on my NYC trip here).
