    Well, I asked my friends at Stop & Shop if they would like to help sponsor This Full House with a call out for donations in support of Blogging Out Hunger and they seemed to feel that it's, you know, a pretty good idea. Aaaand, here's the good part, there's a way you (yes, YOU!) oh, savvy Internets, can help. How? [grin] Why, by doing what you do best...of course!!!  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=2116|thumb=1|alt=christmascreepies] Just so you know, it's official - 60 SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! - there are exactly 9 weekends left before one of the biggest gift-giving days celebrated on the entire planet. Hey...don't curse the messenger...I'm just sayin' - and you thought Halloween was the scariest time of the year - better watch out for the Christmas Creep!  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=2100|thumb=1|alt=videogamers] With three birthdays - not to mention Christmas - just around the corner at my house, I was interested to read the release of PC Magazine's list of the 10 worst games of all time and was more than relieved to learn that we didn't own any of them (yet!?!) and perhaps even a little surprised. Apparently, I am NOT the only person on the fence about what video games to buy for my kids, this year.  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=2027|thumb=1|alt=walmartrvbusted] Their idea was simple enough - two people taking an RV trip across America, stopping at Wal-mart and visiting with employees and its customers throughout the country - Walmarting Across America had all the earmarks of being a great travel blog.

    I am a huge CSI fan - Vegas, New York, Miami or wherever the crime scene investigation takes me - and last night's episode of CSI-Ny did not disappoint. A couple of gruesome murders, some pretty graphic autopsy scenes, a montage of sophisticated investigative procedures, set to some kick-ass music and...hey, wait a minute...isn't that Edward Furlong and where did he get those cool-looking t-shirts!?!  Read more >

    Ever been out somewhere (or, with someone) and saw something (she or he was wearing) that made you stop (dead in your tracks) and wonder, "Holy crap, what was I...ahem...I mean...were you thinking when you put that outfit together!?!" Well, I'd duck and cover (if you were me) or, at least take a picture!  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=1942|thumb=1|alt=skulltshirt] The other day, my ten-year-old daughter (who's turning eleven in December) was scootering with a friend and, as she waved at one of the other mother's in our neighborhood, a woman in a passing car made this statement, "Does your mother know you're wearing that t-shirt?" When my daughter answered, "Yes, she knows," the woman told her, "Well...she should dress you better!" and took off like a big 'ole bat outta hell.  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=1910|thumb=0|alt=extrememmakeoverteam] It never fails - unlike nearly every major appliance or mold and mildew stain remover I've used in the last two months - every Sunday evening, my family and I heat up a couple of bags of popped corn in the microwave (yes, it works...knock on wood...but, not too hard) reach for a couple of blankets, nudge the dog off the couch, grab a box of tissues and get ready to cry our eyes out, as we settle in for another heart-wrenching episode of Extreme Makeover - Home Edition.  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=1882|thumb=1|alt=theshoetree2] There's something to be said about finding the perfect shoe and - that favorite pair that fits you like a glove and best represents your personality - if you agree, then perhaps you can understand how some people feel moved enough to blog about and share pictures of their shoes.  Read more >

    [img_assist|fid=1829|thumb=1|alt=toysrustoybox] Every year - especially around this time with Halloween just around the calendar - my kids start working on their lists and wait (fogging up our storm door window, right next to the dog) for the arrival of "The Big Toy Book," nearly running over our mail-lady in anticipation of tearing into its many pages, while my husband and I feign our ignorance at exactly just how many days there are left, until Christmas. Now, for something totally different - a reason NOT to hate shopping at the toy store!  Read more >
