    We all have those people on our lists. They have everything they need and the money to buy whatever else they want. It’s hard to shop for them, but you still want to give something special. I think a carefully chosen gift basket is a nice option.

    While some people enjoy the “excitement” of heading to the mall for holiday shopping, there are those of us who like a more laid-back approach. I, for one, do almost all of my shopping online.

    My family uses CVS for almost all of our pharmaceutical needs, but I didn’t realize that the CVS on the other side of town actually houses a Minute Clinic. Honestly, I never even thought about it. And then, in early October, CVS asked me if I’d like to try getting a flu shot at the…

    I recently had the opportunity to attend a preview of the new Marbles: The Brain Store in the Northshore Mall in Peabody, MA. It’s a great store full of books, games, puzzles, toys, software and novelties, all designed to challenge and stimulate your mind. My kind of heaven, honestly. Which is why I jumped at…

    I take a LOT of pictures. I’ve always done it… I’ve got boxes full of 3×5’s and 4×6’s as proof. But now that they’re all digital, it’s easier to share them with others – when I have the time. Smilebox allows you to share your photos in beautiful digital scrapbook-style layouts just by simple drag-and-drop.…

    We waited what felt like forever for Verizon FiOS to come to our neighborhood. Big Guy had his eye on it and jumped on the chance to sign on as soon as we could. I am currently taking part in a Verizon FiOS campaign, which I’m pretty excited about. It’s a good excuse to learn…
