An Influential Maine Mom Reviews it all.
I have a confession to make..... I am addicted to Mah Jong. Phew...there I've said it... Seriously though there is nothing more relaxing to me than a nice game of Mah Jong!

In Mah Jong Quest 3 Balance of Life, you have your typical tile matching objective that other Mah Jong games have but there is a … [Read more...]
Everyone hates doing it, but sometimes, it's just necessary. Moving. The one word that we all have the same collective response to: "ugghhh."

But there are some ways to eliminate at least one of those less-than-pleasant downfalls - here are some easy ways that you can at least save a little money (and therefore a little grief) the next time you have to move. Sell Stuff If you haven't used it in … [Read more...]

I have discovered that after having my daughter, I realized that I love dressing her. I love all the little girl clothes and accessories. I have also come to realize that my sons don't have a lot of fun clothing options. In fact, I find boy clothes to be rather boring and mundane. Certainly not fun at all. That is until I discovered Mouth Man Hoodies! These shirts are the coolest! For boys, girls and even adults a like, these shirts are an awesome way to have some fun with your … [Read more...]
I feel so lucky that I have a great relationship with my mother in law. I can't even imagine some of the horror stories I have heard about other people's in laws. I can honestly say that I miss my in laws tremendously! They moved from Maine to Florida about 6 years ago and we only get to see them for about one week a year. Now before you say "well that's the key to a good in law relationship..distance". That may be true for some, but in our case, not so much! We enjoyed spending … [Read more...]

We LOVE Little Caesars pizza here in the Musing Mainiac household. Since the store is right down the street from us, it's so convenient to pop on over there and grab a HOT-N-READY pizza instead of cooking on those long days we all have! Right now Little Caesars is running two promotions, one for a $5 HOT-N-READY large pepperoni pizza, and one for a $8 large HOT-READY 3 Meat Treat large pizza with pepperoni, sausage and bacon. These would make for a great meal on … [Read more...]
One thing my family has always wanted to do is go on a cruise. I can't think of a better way to spend a vacation then to be on a huge cruise ship, surrounded by sparkly blue waves and the wind in our hair. Many cruise lines have revamped their cruise offerings to include more kid friendly activities, which make them even more appealing to adults too! With spring in full swing and summer hot on its heels, most of us are thinking about how we can have some fun in the sun and make memories with … [Read more...]
Toilets are gross...clogged toilets are even more gross! One sentance that always leaves me with dread is "Mom...the toilet won't flush" or something along that line. I absolutely loathe having to shove a plunger in a dirty, nasty toilet, only to pull it out and have all that noxious waste drip on my floor. Conventional toilet plungers are a disgusting health hazard waiting to happen. Thankfully Rubbermaid has an answer to my prayers! With the new Clean & Dry plunger, gone is the icky … [Read more...]
Desks are normally a mess – of course they are! From day to day they are strewn with month-old paperwork, stained coffee mugs and post it notes full of tasks you will inevitably fail to complete. As always, once a week your desk receives a swift tidy and it will stay that way for a good ten minutes until you try to build a structure purely out of paperclips in boredom…which then collapses. Why do we not care about our desks, because surely because we are all not slobs at heart? The real … [Read more...]

I know I have mentioned Happy Nappers before, but I just love these little stuffed animal pillows. Katie has the unicorn one and she lugs that thing around wherever she goes. Rowan told me that he would like one too, so when Jay at Play (the makers of Happy Nappers) offered me one to review, I jumped at the chance! Rowan chose the penguin Happy Napper and just like the unicorn, it is so stinkin' cute! The penguin changes into an igloo and back again by easily unzipping the … [Read more...]
