This week’s sole review was for the Look-At-Me Camera from Parents toys.

Other new posts this week include a heads-up about new episodes of Handy Manny for National Flashlight Day, a heads-up on a great way to get help finding the perfect electronic gift – using Noobie’s Concierge service, a post about safety at home, information about Celine Dion’s Taking Chances World Tour, and all about Windows Mobile. 

I posted one more portion of the Holiday Gift Guide – this week was Gifts For The Home. I know I’m running really late here, but am still planning on posting Gifts For Kids as soon as possible as well.

And speaking of gifts for kids, here’s an awesome deal for you, if you’re looking for a cell phone for one of your kids – check out kajeet! Right now you could get a $70 rebate back on any phone – several of which cost less than that to begin with. And if you use the code “3GIRLS” you could save an extra 15% off of the phone up front, freeing up even more of your rebate! Kajeet is the only cell phone service aimed specifically at kids – if you’d like to know more, check out my post here.

There are more fun giveaways coming next week too, so stay tuned (and subscribed)…

This week’s Contest Round-Up is up over at the other site as well. And don’t forget to check the Contests page during the week – there are some pretty awesome giveaways happening around the blogosphere so you don’t want to miss out on your chance to enter any of them!

Some interesting posts I read this week on other sites include: Well to be honest, I haven’t had a whole lot of time for blog surfing this week (sigh). So I only have a couple of links for you. I think things are a bit slow anyway with the holidays coming up – a lot of people are taking time off from blogging to focus on other things like, oh say – life. 

If you’re still looking for a holiday-ish look on your Blogger blog, check out 8 Free Festive Blogger Templates as posted over at Blogging Tips!  And if you’re looking to see some beautiful holiday decorations ‘for real’, take a look over at BooMama’s Christmas Tour Of Homes – there are 927 blogs that have linked up to show off their holiday decor. No, I’m not one of them this year – our decoration status is well, “sad” is one word I might use to describe it. “Pitiful” is another – between the kittens flattening and knocking just about every ornament off the tree, plus the fact that I only have gotten about half of the other decorations up – and the tubs are STILL sitting in my living room… Well, if you want to see what our house is supposed to look like, check out my Christmas Tour Of Homes post from last year. 

We’re somewhat dug out from yesterday’s snowstorm now – just in time for the next one, which is supposed to hit tonight.  Hope you all have a great weekend!
