Wendy’s Best Day Ever

This one deserves a post all its own.

Wendy was one of two winners for the Scharffen-Berger sponsored Chocolate Heaven post. She took this photo via Instagram and posted it on her Facebook page as well. (Don’t worry, she gave me permission to repost it!)

How cute is she?!

And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!

If you click on their button on my sidebar, you’ll be taken to my Trekaroo page where I’ve written a few mini-blogs for this great family-based review site. Activities, lodgings, eateries… you name it, they review it. And the best part is, it’s written by parents for parents.

And they do these great giveaways every week.

iPhone v. Droid: An unsponsored MoJo review

My daughter has an iPhone 4S. She bought it with money she received for her high school graduation. I, having not graduated recently, still have my two-year-old Android.

In the past two months, I have grown convinced that an iPhone is the phone for me. And this is my official notice that it is now tops on my Christmas List this year. (Or, Hallowe’en treat. Or back-to-school special. Or just “I’m thinking of you NOW” gift, if whoever-you-are is feeling prematurely presentatious.)

The differences between my Droid and Dot’s 4S, in no particular technical order, are:
