Might start blogging again?!

Have you ever Googled your own name to see what was floating around out there? Turns out I have a lot of blogs, sites and pages all over the place from all my various past adventures in music writing, photography, graphic design, DIY soap making and who knows what else! Definitely too many projects to wrap my head around. But, I do miss writing and want to get back into it. Maybe even make it a "real" job at some point in the future. I know as I get older, my abilities to do what I currently do for a living will no longer be "do able" so I will need to find another way to make a living. I hate retail work, factory work is just as horrible, both of which seem to be the core available jobs in the city I currently live in. Bah! So, lets give blogging another go and see where it goes!

Notes to Self

As I start my venture into the DIY homemade handcrafted bath and body (cosmetic) business, I find I'm constantly writing down notes only to lose them over time.

Hasbro's GameNight VoxBox - Monopoly Jr

Getting Ready for #GameNight with Monopoly Jr Last night we received our Hasbro VoxBox courtesy of Influenster containing Monopoly Junior for testing*! Our family was so excited to try it out that we had our #GameNight right away. When you have two kids jumping off the walls with excitement to play a game that you've never played before and have never opened the box to... the number 1 most important aspect is: how fast can you set up the game and learn to play before the kids loose interest (or drive you crazy). Am I right? Luckily, we managed to get rolling in about 2-5 minutes. The longest part was counting out the currency for each player (the paper money was stuck together making it hard to separate) and popping out the cardboard "house" pieces. The next time we play (which will probably be tonight!) it should be easier since the money has been played with and the gaming piece are all separated. Learning how to play the game may take longer if you've never...

Free.ca

Free.ca is a directory of the latest Canadian contests, freebies, coupons and more. Its much like Free Stuff Finder (in fact they have much of the same content), but more streamlined, less detailed oriented and way more advertisements. I found the way they formatted and styled their content to be rather irksome. Everything is lumped together in the same format regardless if its an advertisement, random blog post or the actual giveaway/contest being showcased - I like to refer to this as "disguised content". In other words, you have to pay attention to what you're clicking on or you'll spend a lot of time back-tracking. With that said, there is a pro to this site, it has lots of user feedback. User feedback is great for prize claimers for many reasons, but mostly to find out whether the product is worth the effort in claiming and to provide a sort of technical support group for when you come across a glitch. For example, sometimes the way you type in your posta...
