I remember watching my oldest sit on the living room floor with her laptop on her lap as she tried to complete her homework. Every now and then, she had to put it down because it was burning her legs or just making her too hot. I have a laptop but I mostly use it in the evening as I sit on my recumbant bike and have it propped up so I can exercise as I type. I justify my blogging by making myself exercise once the girls go to sleep. I know my daughter would most likely have liked to have tried out the ThermaPak 15" Pink HeatShift Laptop Cooler.
It only weighs 23 ounces so it shouldn't weigh down the laptop and what's nicer is, there are no cords! I purchased her another one that was ran by USB and it was just another thing in the way by having to shift cords and trying to find a comfortable place. She ended up not using it which is why It hink this one is ideal.
Features:
- Performs better than USB fan cooling devices
- Cools entire laptop, not just certain sections
- Uses no fans
- Generates no noise
- Grooved channels for enhanced airflow
- Ultra slim design for mobility
- Various sizes and colors
- Fits all sizes of laptops
- Comfortable, Lightweight and portable
- No need for refrigeration
- Self-cooling
- Uses no power so laptops last longer
- Environmentally friendly
- Heavy-duty, durable, and maintenance free
In a recent CNET study the HeatShift Laptop Cooler was proven to lower laptop temperature by more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit and significantly outperformed USB cooling fans.The HeatShift cools uniformly by using organic cooling crystals that dissipate heat away from your laptop allowing it to perform at its best while keeping your laptop at a safe temperature. The superior design and performance of the HeatShift Laptop Cooler has received numerous industry awards such as the CES Innovations Design & Engineering Award and the iF Design Award.

More about ThermaPak:
ThermaPAK Group, founded in 2004, has been a pioneering developer in laptop cooling solutions. Through comprehensive research and development, relentless attention to details, and continual evolution on design, ThermaPAK Group created a new series of cooling products.
Throughout the years, ThermaPAK Group attended a variety of venues to educate anywhere from the general public to the corporate tiers the concept of ThermaPAK and its capabilities. Word of this new product was spread at many important international trade shows, such as CES, CompuTEX, as well as many regional trade shows within the United States. ThermaPAK had also chosen to invest in many projects to assert itself into the market; one example being a project to produce a comical commercial due to the rise of video sharing websites such as YouTube.

In mid 2007, ThermaPAK Group incorporated into ThermaPAK Technologies, Inc. The new incorporation takes on a broader vision and structure in business model that develops higher prudence and capability, while at the same time, keeping the original commitment to bringing quality performance products into the market.
ABC Neckties Review & Giveaway 3/31 WINNER CLOSED
CONGRATULATIONS TO ...
JENNIFER H!

Winner chosen by random.org.
Thanks to all those who entered!
Neckties can really make or break a look and I know this personally because the last time my husband I had to dress up, he put on his 1980's duck tie. I was mortified and realized at this point, the man needed a fashion upgrade and fast. I guess some men still might where their duck ties so no offense intended (smile) but for the look he was trying to achieve, that wasn't going to be it!
I had never heard of ABC Neckties until just recently and found they offer a great selection of affordable men's novelty and fashion ties since 2000. When I shop, which I prefer to shop online, I like a well laid out site and ABC Neckties is one of them. Having the ability to search by style (big and tall, bow ties, silk ties, etc), novelty (animal print, armed forces, food, etc) and color is a nice feature to expedite your shopping experience. If you aren't quite sure which one to select, you can always browse the best seller selection. Sometimes I browse those areas just to get an idea on what might be in style.
When I saw this type, I thought it would be perfect for a doctor because what kid doesn't like Snoopy? I find I gravitate towards medical professionals who appear to reach out to children. They even have great sports ties like the Indianapolis Colts! Too bad my husband is a Cowboy's fan (which they carry too). ABC Neckties literally has every type of tie you could ever want and makes elegant yet not expensive gifts.
The Review:
I chose the Baker Silk Fashion Tie. It's a great value at $18.66 and is 100% silk with the Bocara label. The very fashionable, hand-made tie is of high quality and looks fantastic on my husband! What you might not know about ABC Neckties is they have a money back guarantee, 100% secure ordering online and right now, there is a 15% sitewide sale with free shipping!
Father's Day won't be too far off or what dad can't use a new tie for Easter? I would definitely recommend ABC Neckties and I just might have to get the Army tie for my husband from the girls on Father's Day!
The Giveaway:
A $25 gift certificate to ABC Neckties.
To Enter:
Follow my blog and tell me which necktie you would buy from ABC Neckties.

Thanks to www.Ficklets.com, your child can choose inexpensive eye charm huggers to adorn their plain glasses. These cute Ficklets will allow your child to show a little personality while jazzing up their glasses just in time for spring.

The great thing about Ficklets is there are options for boys in a sports theme such as soccer balls, basketballs and more.
I like them so much that I ordered some for my niece who loves them and even have a couple for me.

Zoo Babies by Accord Publishing Book Review
Books are such a wonderful tool for teaching children and every now and then, you can find a book that not only teaches but thoroughly entertains. aMomEntrepreneur gave me the opportunity to receive and review a complimentary copy of Zoo Babies by Accord Publishing. What makes this book unique is it's a mini animotion book. Each page provides an animotion of the animal as the page turns! It's almost like a mini TV in the book.
Product Details:
- Reading level: Baby-Preschool
- Hardcover: 12 pages
- Publisher: Accord Publishing, a division of Andrews McMeel (February 2, 2010)
- Language: English
- ISBN-10: 0740792016
- ISBN-13: 978-0740792014
- Product Dimensions: 6.2 x 6.1 x 0.8 inches
It's 12 pages full of delightful fun animals like zebras running, lions pouncing and more. It allows the children to learn a little about what these animals do while enjoying the fun animotion as if they are really moving. I highly recommend this book if you have little ones as it's enjoyable, easy to read and entertaining.
It's even available via Amazon:
A Very Special Heart: Lifesaving Medical Information You Carry
As a mother of two children with chronic medical conditions, I keep two binders complete with medical copies of their hospitalizations and anything pertinent from a doctor. I quickly learned to gather this information when my youngest was taken over two hours away to a hospital in Savannah. The doctors wanted to know her background and although my memory is pretty good, I wasn't able to remember all details with accuracy and after that, I started these folders to be able to hand to a doctor at an ER, a routine visit or a hospitalization to ensure accuracy. I found that accuracy matters especially for doctors who are not familiar with your history. Being able to provide a quick and easy way for detailed information can make the difference between life and death.
The use of drop down menus helps to easily enter information that is routine thus cutting down on time necessary to complete applicable information. Another key piece of information is language spoke. For a patient that is unable to communicate, this will allow for the hospital to obtain a translator for when the patient wakes. The information collected would also be ideal for a missing person's report as items such as height, weight, birthmarks and more are stored.
Not only is A Very Special Heart innovative and vital to your health or a loved one's health, it also allows you to add more than one person which is ideal for my family since we have two children. You can also add vital records by scanning documents in such as actual medical records, patient consents, x-rays, social security cards, passport information and more.
When I first read about A Very Special Heart, I was extremely interested in being able to wear this beautiful silver heart shaped necklace (or a globe) around my neck to have this vital, life saving information no matter where I am at. I received A Very Special Heart which offers a choice to wear around the neck or as a key chain for added versatility. It has a large clasp which would be good for older people who might have finger dexterity issues and the chain is sturdy yet attractive.
Review of the Package:
Once I opened the very nice box it arrived in, I found the heart was encased in a velvet, heart shaped box adding to the luxury of its presentation. The heart's bottom comes up to reveal the USB port to plug into your computer and a hidden compartment for emergency medication. The software to activate it is easy to follow and upon entering the activation code and contact information, you are ready to go. I liked the easy activation steps which allows a greater ease for those that are not as computer literate but are able to perform basic functionality.
Medical Information Set Up Review:
Entering your information into A Very Special Heart is similar to completing your medical forms at a doctor's office for the first time. You can add prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, allergies, medical conditions, dates of hospitalizations, dates of vaccinations, names and contacts for your doctors, details of persons you want contacted in event of an emergency, health insurance information and Medicare/Medigap information.
The use of drop down menus helps to easily enter information that is routine thus cutting down on time necessary to complete applicable information.

The information collected would also be ideal for a missing person's report as items such as height, weight, birthmarks and more are stored.If something doesn't apply, when you check "continue," it will validate that you do not have that condition or the question is not applicable thus adding accuracy to your records. You can also add your picture to your record to ensure they have the correct information for the patient. As part of the A Very Special Heart service, you can receive valuable up-to-date health information on your medical conditions, allergies and drugs.
Not only is A Very Special Heart innovative and vital to your health or a loved one's health, it also allows you to add more than one person which is ideal for my family since we have two children. You can also add vital records by scanning documents in such as actual medical records, patient consents, x-rays, social security cards, passport information and more.Pending on how you want to store your documents, public or private, you can control who has access by utilizing your master password. This provides extra piece of mind in case you misplace it or lose it.
Final Review:
I highly recommend A Very Special Heart if you or a loved one has a medical condition when time matters as well as accuracy. It is very pretty and elegant and whether you choose the globe or heart, it can be worn on a necklace or used as a keychain. You can choose between 18k gold or rhodium silver for your finish and it includes a wallet size emergency care information for emergency personnel, an emergency pill compartment for emergency medication, a 24 hour on call nurse and free replacement if you lose or damage your heart of globe. The software provides translation in several languages. Click here to see all available languages. It also is password protected if you choose to add additional documents such as passports, social cards, etc.
It has a 30 day unconditional, 100% money back guarantee and for only $14.95, you can have a 30 day trial set up.
Overall, it's a win-win situation for you or your loved ones.
