So it's that time again. Time for the weekly blog hop.This week's theme is "YOUR FAVORITE PHOTO(S)". It's time to show off your latest photos that you love. So one of my favorite photos is a picture of my 1968 Mustang, but I won't use it again because I already used it in another blog hop. This is one of my favorite pictures. It's my Friend's daughter who just lost her two front teeth and my bird Harold decided he might like to hang out on top of her head...lol. This is a recent picture from this past weekend. I love this picture because it's a picture of my son opening his Birthday card with the key to his car in it for his 16th Birthday. The huge smile on his face says it all! A good time was had by all and I may be prejudice but I think I have one of the best son's in the world!

Welcome to my very first blog review with a giveaway! Good luck to you and me both! When you think about eating your favorite dessert, what comes to mind? Now, imagine that being 10 times better. Are you with me so far? You know, the dessert that is so good it makes you feel all warm and gooey inside while it's melting across your taste buds until you feel a sense of euphoria. Okay, that may be a tad over board but you get my drift. Recently I had the pleasure of trying a gourmet cake from Bake Me A Wish . We tried the Peanut Butter Mousse cake. Let me tell ya, I had no hesitations about doing this review! I asked my son to help me with this review,(he picked the cake) he was quick to say yes. Of course, he's a teenager, do you know one who doesn't like cake? Sadly for him he went on vacation with relatives the same time I received the cake. I say sadly because I really liked this cake and so did a few friends of mine so, my son only got one piece, the last piece! (Don...

I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid for giving them my attention. I can use the funds to buy music and video online, donate to charities, give to my favorite blogs and websites, or keep the change myself and do whatever I want with it. It's real. They pay. You should check it out. Click this link to sign up. Please add my MeFile ID, lmiller01 , in the "Referral Code" it will tell them I sent you. http://tinyurl.com/l9xxk7

Hello all, If you don't already know my name is Lisa Miller. I'm a wife, mother of 2 boys, Bird Mama of 3 and I'm also owned by 2 cats. By day I'm a blogger (or at least I try to be) and Twitter-aholic. My husband and I love to ride our motorcycle or drive one of our Antique hot rods on the weekends. We're pretty much home bodies most of the time though. I've been writing this blog for about a year now and have been learning along the way, and there is still tons more for me to learn! I just got started with some products to review and next week will be my first ever blog giveaway! I love to try new products! I've been taking online surveys and reviewing products for years. My friends always come to me for advice about products too. So, I thought what better to do than publish my reviews, and even better yet, give the products away to my readers! So I hope you'll come back and follow my blog so you don't miss out on any giveaways.

Make sure you check back here later in the week. I just received my first product to review and then I'm gonna give one away! It could be yours! Trust me, this is going to be a "Sweet" Review!! I'm not sure which part I'm more excited about, trying it or giving one away.

Mom Blogger/Reviewers are quickly becoming a great media outlet for companies and their products. I've been writing my blog and doing some other online things for the last few years for some extra cash, but that's not really my mission. I've finally started to get to the niche I've been after, reviews and giveaways. I've been doing online surveys and reviewing products for about 5 - 6 years now. I really love to try new products/services before others and then share my opinions about them. I do not want to do this for money, just the opportunity to honestly test and review products and services in exchange for the product to try, and evaluate. I'm also open to doing straight giveaways without a review as long as the prize is shipped to the winner by you. Also in the case of a review and giveaway, the product/service reviewed will not be returned unless we come to an agreement about the product/service before hand and You are still responsible for shipping th...
