That's Neat! Blog

I was thrilled to be interviewed on the MSLR show, "Living Today." Host Ryan Brockington and I discussed our favorite ways to get ready for summer, shared our love of lists, and I answered questions from callers. It was very fun!

Listen to the interview (about 30 minutes).

Ah, the piles of masterpieces that your child creates! Now give them a proper display with new posters from Juxio.

Simply take photos of your child’s creations and upload them to Juxio. Then arrange in a template, and print or share. What could be easier!

Thanks to Gabby from Claiming Space for finding this new resource.

Babies”R”Us and Toys”R”Us are having a trade-in event  for cribs, car seats, strollers and more. From January 28 – February 21, 2011 they are giving “customers the opportunity to trade-in any used cribs, car seats, bassinets, strollers, travel systems, play yards, toddler beds or high chairs in exchange for a 25% savings on the purchase of any new baby item, in any of these product categories, from select manufacturers.”

The trade-in event “places an emphasis on specific baby products, such as cribs and car seats that, due to safety concerns, may not be the best candidates to be handed down or resold.”

This is a great opportunity to take a look at older equipment in your home and see if you can trade it in.

It’s almost January! How did that happen? It’s the new year, my birthday month, and a great time to reflect on the year ahead.

What do you want to accomplish? What are your goals for the year? Write or type them out, and visit your list* often.

I’ve already started jotting down a few ideas for 2011: places I want to go, fun things I want to do with my family, goals for my business. And in the spirit of The Happiness Project, I’m going to set a few happiness goals again for myself this year.

During this holiday season, spend a little time relaxing, reflecting and then planning for the year ahead.
