Review: Google Nexus 7 Tablet

Google Nexus 7 Review

We are a tech-family — I have been interested in computers all my life and took my first adult computer course when I was four years old. Technology can get a bad rap sometimes when it comes to parenting and raising children, people believing it can hinder the imagination of kids and cause them to be indoors more than outside. I happen to think that technology does wonders for my kids and there’s no doubt it is a huge part of my career.

We have multiple computers in the house, smart phones and more than one iPad and I am always on the look for the newest technology. I have been wanting to try out an Android device for a while now — with most of our products being Apple based or Windows, I have heard amazing things about the Android technology and hoped one day it would be something I could test out and toy with.

Yesterday, I shared the news that after 14 months of trying to conceive and 6 cycles on Clomid, a pregnancy has finally happened for us. Baby has a strong heartbeat and so far, things are progressing well. With my history, it is hard for me to get connected with a pregnancy early on, but this [...]

Mother’s Day is this weekend and if you’re a mom, I hope you are able to spend it with those that you love — or alone if that’s more your thing. I am with my kids all day everyday and I’ll be honest, my idea of a great Mother’s Day doesn’t always mean spending more [...]

It’s interesting how naive you can be about something until you’ve got first-hand experience from it. That can be said about me when it came to the seriousness of food allergies and other food-related issues. I had heard about people who got sick from being near peanut butter — even just smelling peanut butter.  I [...]

I am a big fan of soup, but for some reason it’s not a consistent item on our weekly menu. Most soups are quick and simple to make and you can throw in as many vegetables as you like — making it as healthy and hearty as you want. I’ve been trying to test foods that are [...]

I love crunch and I love salt and seasoning when it comes to my snacks. I am a big potato or corn chip fan, but wanting to cut down on the carbohydrates and the unhealthy snacks, I’ve been on the hunt for something better for me. I don’t want to compromise on the texture though [...]
