Every now and then I feel compelled to share a product, place, or service that is a must-have for my family.
1. Sam's Club's "Fresh Salsa". I am admittedly a salsa snob. I love all these new r
estaurants with salsa bars (the food, not the dance). Regular jarred grocery salsa is almost repulsive to me now. Then, I found this salsa several years back. Don't worry about the large container - if you are like me, it won't last long. I got some last Friday night and I finished it Tuesday. I am even ashamed to say that I ran out of chips, so I just ate the last bit with a spoon. Yes, it's that good. It's a bit spicy, so I temper that by mixing it with a little sour cream or guacamole, because I am a bit of a weenie.

Realty websites (like realtor.com or fmrealty.com or whatever big local realtor company in your area). I like these for many reasons. First, I am just intrigued by real estate. Secondly, I like to look at the pictures of houses in my neighborhood (and others) to see how they decorate it. Or, how they have re-modeled and updated their homes. Amazingly, though, is the state of some houses. When your house is one the market, especially with this type of economy, you want it to look its best. It's surprising to me how many people have plain white walls with no art or pictures on them. Or clothes left on the floor for the internet-world to see. Come on, people.
3. Pull-Ups. After potty training my son, I will never use the pamper's Easy Ups. They easily tear when pulling up or down (especially by toddler hands), and thus are useless and a waste of my money. The Pull Ups, however, have Velcro-like sides that you can reattach. Which is good for me, since when my son was training and was dry, I could reuse the pull up the next nap or night. Is that gross or money-savvy? :)
4. My son, Jackson, is becoming fasinated with computer games. We only allow the very kid-friendly and educational ones. His 2 new favorite sites are Word World and the children's game on The Bridge's website (especially Moses and the tablets and Pacman).
