I'm just going t warn everyone now that there is probably going to be a bit of a review/giveaway deluge over the weekend as I get completely caught up with everything. I think there will be at least two more giveaways going up...maybe more if something comes up. I'll also be going back and trying to get the categories sorted as well. Right now there are way too many & I need everything fixed so that the menus are correct. Also, there is a change as far as sponsored posts go. Due to the newest Panda updates from Google, they are now strictly enforcing their guideline...which means that blogs & brands are being penalized for 'do follow' links in reviews. The past few weeks I've had almost a dozen requests to change links, so to error on the side of caution I have installed Nofollow for External Link. This Wordpress plugin automatically makes every outgoing link nofollow. This way it keeps everyone safe in future posts, and should fix all the old ones as well. I know ...
Product Review – Signazon.com
About three weeks ago, I was invited to try out Signazon.com. Signazon is based in Dallas and lets you design your own custom banners, signs, car magnets & more. You can use customizable templates or use their builder to create your own. I had the option of creating a 2’ x 4’ foot vinyl banner. Many of you may know that aside from writing this blog, I also do graphic design & photography. I’ve designed several book covers for authors and I also create & sell stock images. I jumped at the chance of doing a banner because I have been pricing them for a while to have at FenCon. FenCon is a sci-fi convention held in Dallas & frequented by a lot of local and national authors. I’m sharing a table with a friend of mine, T. M. Simmons, and wanted to have something to stand out and bring people over. They have a large number of templates available that you can edit and add in your own images. I choose to go with the blank template. I uploaded my logo then added a few lines ...

Guest Article – Discover More of the UK
As exciting as it may be to travel abroad on holiday, most Brits have only experienced a very limited amount of their own country. The UK draws in tourists from around the world each year due to it’s rich historical and cultural atmosphere, and the amount there is on offer for people of all ages. Residents largely overlook all the fantastic scenery and entertainment that is right on their doorstep, and taking a holiday in the UK is a great way to rediscover what a wonderful country you live in. The UK is geographically varied, and being an island has many different terrains making it a great place to take a walk and explore. The coastline which frames the UK may not benefit from a Mediterranean climate, but the from the cliffs to the sandy shore the scenery is beautiful.

The Goodnight Undercover Mission — Stop Bedwetting
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of GoodNites for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Potty training sounds easy, but it can be a bit tricky for some. I ended up having to have gummy bears & stickers on hand to get my daughter to stay on the potty long enough to go. Even then, she found it more amusing to go streaking through the house yelling “I’m naked!” (when she says it, it comes out ‘naken’) at the top of her lungs & waving her shorts around. But, at long last she got it. She has no problem using the bathroom at home or other people’s houses; she’s just deathly afraid of public restrooms…not that I can blame her. I thought that once she was trained that I was done with the hard part. Not true. The hard part is getting through bedwetting. Bedwetting happens sometimes and I have a hard time explaining to my daughter that it’s okay when it does. For her, it only happens when she’s very tired after a busy day or has had to take some sinus ...
