Rock Star Miles Paper Jamz Giveaway

imageI often talk about Miles and how much he loves music. He really loves any toy that makes noise and always has. He just loves to press buttons and figure out how things work. We have a keyboard that he loves to play on and he is starting to make music instead of just banging on the keys. So, whenever I get the chance to review a toy that makes music I jump at the chance.

Paper Jamz is a new guitar that sounds like an electric guitar. Now, I’ve never actually held a real electric guitar but I imagine they are pretty complicated with all of the settings and changes you can make to the sound. Well, I’m quite impressed with how many different setting are on a toy electric guitar.

imageThe Guitar is quite loud and my husband and I raced to find the volume button. It took me a few tries but after looking at the directions, I realized how in-depth this paper thin, light weight piece of technology is. To raise and lower the volume you just need to slide your hand up or down the neck of the guitar. To change the guitar from the demo setting you need to hold down the demo button for a few seconds. Then you’ll here an electric countdown and it will start in a new mode. If you want the vocals to go away, then you can hold down the demo button and the mode button for a few seconds at the same time and you’ll hear the electric countdown and a new mode will start without vocals.

If you look along the side of the guitar you’ll see that you can change the frets by holding down the buttons on the side and if you are into any kind of guitar then you will understand what that means. Now are you confused yet? Don’t be, the kids will love it in any mode and will be rocking out in no time. Miles was born for this, I mean look at his rock star hair!!

It was very difficult to get him to share it with his sister; but in the end they were able to play with it together.

Christmas in July: Logitech Squeezebox Radio

snowmanchristmasevent Today is the last day of Christmas in July and it’s a good thing since it’s actually August 2nd. OOOPS! But this is a big one from Logitech. I asked my husband if he had every heard of a Squeezebox and he thought it was an internet video player, but turns out the one we are giving way, it’s an internet radio system. You hook it up to your wireless internet and then you can play your favorite radio stations from anywhere in the US. That’s pretty cool.

Tracy had quite a few good things to say about it,

Sound quality is impressive I was pleasantly surprised and I think it sounds as good as a stereo. It can’t compete with the expensive nice sound system, but it works great for me.

Preparing for BlogHer 2010!

LouiseBishop  I’ve been spending that last week stressing over BlogHer 2010 and not really getting anything done. New e-mail after new e-mail keeps popping in my inbox and I’m left wondering, what do I do? How am I going to be organized enough to get from point a to point b and how will I remember to attend all of my obligations? Am I the only one that feels like I’m running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

I’m trying to find friends that are interested in the same parties that I am so I can hang out with them and have someone to walk around with. I’ve watched too many episodes of Law & Order to walk around New York all by myself. So I think I have Thursday night planned out. Thursday, I’m going to be hanging out with Robyn of Robyn’s Online World and Connie Roberts from Brain Foggles. I hope to stop at Mom Select, The Samsung Event, Team Mom, and The People’s Party.

Then Friday is still up in the air, I need to make some final decisions but Hallmark and Unilever is absolutely on my list. I had to give up a Shopping Spree with ShopAtHome because I already agreed to the Better for BlogHer challenge with Healthy Choice. I really would have liked to do the shopping spree, those lucky girls are going to be in the fashion district with 200.00 from ShopAtHome buying top brands for at cost. I really needed a clone for this trip wth all of the events.

Saturday I have a tentative plan:

ROYO – Mindful Monitization 12:30-1:45
ROYO – Pitch Me 1:45-3:15
Clorox Saturday, August 7 from 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Blogalicious 5-8|
SparkleCorn 7-10
Cheeseburgher 9-12

I still feel So Lost! Anyone want to adopt me for the weekend?

Thankfully, I have a few companies that are trying to help me calm down!

Lands End sent me a suitcase I can use as a carry on.

Ming Wang sent me one three piece outfit that I can mix and match other outfits with.

Healthy Choice has been feeding me lunch every day

 

If I survive this, I’m going to need a shirt that says, I survived BlogHer 2010 and lived to blog about it.
