black and decker

I love to love my new 18.0 Volt Cordless Broom Hard Surface Sweeper!  I used to think these were for people over 65 but, I tried one at a friends house and loved it!  It makes quick work of getting all the leaves off of our deck and driveway and sure beats sweeping.  Plus, it’s cordless, so no wrangling with a cord!  It’s a nice luxury to have-especially in the fall!

wii

I love to love the Nintendo Wii!  I have only played this a handful of times, but it’s enough to tell that I am in LOVE!  We don’t own one, and that’s probably best ( if we did-I would NEVER get anything done-it’s SO addictive).  I usually hate video games, especially all the newer systems-XBox 360, Nintendo DS, blah, blah, blah……I don’t understand how to play any of those games.  They are all 3D and I can’t understand how to use the controller.  The Wii however, I can get behind….a few buttons, you play by waving it around…..I’m in love.  My favorite game BY FAR is bowling (it’s the first video game that I can beat my husband at).  I can’t get enough of it-and can’t wait to play it again soon!

snood1

I love to love SNOOD!  I hate video games, but I CAN’T stop playing this computer game!  It’s so addicting!  I found this in college-talk about a time sucker when I should have been studying!  Snood is hard to explain-it’s a little tetris like.  The best thing to do it go here and try the free demo!  I think you’ll be hooked!

i-tunes

Even though it’s been around for years, I still love to love iTunes!  I love that it is so easy to use and only a click away!  I really love that I can buy just one song at a time for 99 cents instead of an entire album!  It’s great, how did we ever live without it?

I love to love my Crest Spin brush!  I am obsessed with dental hygiene!  Mainly I hate bad breath so I always brushing my teeth!  Lately, my teeth have been really sensitive.  They hurt all the time.  I use sensitive tooth paste, but it wasn’t doing enough.  My dentist recommended that I get a Spin brush instead of a old manual tooth brush.  Since I switched, I love it! My teeth feel better and really clean!  Happy brushing!

I know I’ve already loved to love my Mac (which you can read here), but I thought this was worthy of a separate post.  I really love to love IPhoto Books.  I don’t make them as much as I should, because it’s so easy and really fun.  By using the photos in IPhoto on my Mac, I can create and entire photo book, complete with captions, and a a hard cover. The photos that are printed look amazing, and (like everything Mac) the entire book is TOP quality!  The first time I mede of of these is when I got back from my trip to Haiti this past May.   The book is beautiful!  Most people look at it and can’t believe I made it.  That’s the glory of a Mac, if I can do it, truly, anyone can.  I think this is an awesome spin on scrap-booking for us non-crafty types :) .  Happy IBooking!

I

I LOVE to LOVE my new purple ipod shuffle! My husband got this for me for my birthday, to help me with my mini marathon training.  I have to say clipping this onto my shirt while I run is a lot better than holding my old ipod for 5 miles!  I can’t believe all the music that fits in this little guy, what will they think of next?

By the way the new ipod headphones rock, they are awesome!

I love to love my Nikon D40 camera.  It rocks.  I love to take photographs, especially with this awesome digital camera.  The images are always great and it is really easy to use.  If I can use it, anyone can (seriously).  I have a little web gallery of some photos taken with this camera.  You can check it out here.  I am excited to add a zoom lens at some point.  Basically, this camera is incredible and if you love to take photos you should get one!

This Love to Love it is a direct shout out to my husband…..Oh, how I love to love my adorable white mac book!  I never thought a computer could change you life, until I met the mac.  This little guys allows someone like me (not very technically inclined) to create a DVD photo slide show with ease, create a professional looking news letter for my business in minuets, organize my pictures into “events”, organize my music by playlists, video chat with my husband while we are at work, and have a fun photo booth at my “office premier party.”  Seriously, a computer can change your life!

And just as a side note-Sam-Jason-Avin, I don’t want to hear anything about how I spilled juice all over my first mac book and ruined it….we all know what happened there, no need to re-live that exciting time!  So save your comments for small group.
