The iPad

I admit that I am not crazy about the name but I’m thrilled about the new device Steve Jobs presented at this year’s WWDC.
The iPad.
Ahhh…soak in its loveliness.
My favorite part? It’s too hard to choose.
hi-res color iBooks, the keyboard dock, the revised iCal (that looks much better (and resembles my ancient (no, wait, did I ever actually use one of those?) Filofax)) or the ability to view all my apps on a larger screen.
Here are David Pogue’s first impressions.
Honestly? It is so very tempting for me. To say the least.
I was in a bus filled with middle school kids today and they were all atwitter, excitedly chattering away about how each and every one of them wanted to get an iPad. Mmmhmm. Those naysayers on Twitter don’t know what they’re talking about. This baby is going to be sizzling hot. I can feel it.
What about you?
Just another gadget you don’t need or want? Or are you dreaming about it and frequently thinking about it? Giving up your Kindle for this thing? Or sticking with your hardcover bestseller?
Hmmm….

No, I did not get an iPad. And, sadly, this post is not sponsored. It should be noted, however, that Stephen Colbert got an iPad because, well, because he shamelessly begged for one. David Pogue, my absolute all-time favorite technology reporter (in fact, my dream is to do a tech review vlog with him! Or, okay, at least to participate in his next “I Want an iPhone iPad” movie – I can sing!), did not get one!! Outrageous! So…I am prepared to shamelessly beg for one.Simple Snacks Often Satisfy
January 7th, 2010 — Food and Drink, children, family, parenting, personal
I often wonder whether most families experience the challenges of at least one picky eater. I suspect they do.
Well, I know we do.
It’s my son.
I can’t criticize him too much, though. I was the same way. Didn’t like my corn touching my mashed potatoes, despite the fact that my sister loved mixing them together. I’d sit next to her and think, “Ugh! How could you!?”
So last week, when my son suggested adding some swipes of Nutella to a few graham crackers, I thought, “Sure! Automatic buy-in (because he suggested it) and super economical.” When I was a little girl, I remember trips to Europe with my sister. We treasured that chocolate hazelnut taste because we knew we would never have it after we returned to the States because no stores sold it. Now, however, it’s readily available (at least where we live). What’s more…it’s not primarily made with HFCS anymore.
Since that day, he has asked for the same treat more than once, so I decided to share this simple idea with my readers.
If you have some picky eaters and are frequently seeking snack suggestions, I recommend giving these little treats a try.
Happy snacking!
