Dreaming Big or if budget were no object…

An Apple iPad Air MD786LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, Black with Space Gray) (1st choice) OR an Apple iPad with Retina Display MD511LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, Black) 4th Generation (2nd choice). This is on the top of my list for Mother’s Day and my 50th birthday. I have wanted an iPad for a loooong time but now my friend and I have actually compiled a list of hundreds of reasons why I NEED one. I can dream…right?

I’ve checked with my friends and this is the case I’d want for my iPad Air is the ClamCase that is available in May or for the iPad 4, the ClamCase Pro iPad Keyboard Case for iPad 2, 3 & 4. This case would allow me to use my iPad as a mini-laptop, a video player or a tablet!

Moderately Priced Mother’s Day Gifts

Holiday Guide 2011-Gifts for Moms-The Recipe Rock #rafflecopter

cindy — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:27:25 +0000

A lot of my recipes come from the internet not from cookbooks. Often it is difficult to keep the recipe upright and clean while I’m cooking. I’ve tried everything…propping the piece of paper up with glasses, taping it to the cabinet, you name it. The handy dandy Recipe Rock
took care of that problem for me! It holds up to 8 pages with its powerful earth magnet and when not in use…it looks cool on your counter.

This holiday season, it’s the luckiest cooks in the kitchen who will receive a rock in their stocking! With more than 70 percent of cooks reporting they choose the Internet over cookbooks, Recipe Rock from Architec Housewares will be the perfect sous chef for all that holiday dinner prep work.

This small 2-inch, sculpted, concave “rock” simultaneously holds up to eight pages of printed recipes upright at the ideal viewing angle and prevents pages from sauce splatters and dirty hands. With its innovative new way to hold recipes and its $9.99 price point, Recipe Rock is the perfect stocking stuffer or last minute gift.

Recipe Rock is perfect for recipes from the Internet, magazines and even note-cards. And it is small enough to fit in a drawer or recipe box!

Jordan used the recipe rock the other night while he was making Mostaccioli for dinner.

The Recipe Rock is available at Crate & Barrel and other specialty boutiques. One lucky reader of The Mom Maven is going to win a Recipe Rock for themselves or to give as a gift to their favorite cook.

Disclosure: I received a Recipe Rock for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.

Holiday Gift Guide: The Zhip

cindy — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:12:15 +0000

The Zhip is a great gift for lots of people on your holiday shopping list. A Zhip would be a great gift for a techie, a mom, dad, teen, traveler, fitness enthusiast…the list is endless. Anyone with a smartphone or iPod Touch would love a Zhip because it easily turns their mobile handheld device into an instant “on-the-go” entertainment center! This affordable little gadget would have certainly come in handy on my flights to and from Los Angeles last week.

The Zhip (pronounced “zip”) uses a sturdy, “no-drop ,” three-foot extendable zip cord to anchor any smartphone to:

The back of a car seat to entertain the kids while on the road with movies, music videos, and games (a great “tool” for busy Moms!)
Exercise equipment at home or at the gym to make workouts more enjoyable
The back of an airplane seat to enjoy personal entertainment selections on long flights
To simply suspend a phone or iPod touch from any desired hard surface or work space for easy viewing and access

The Zhip expands to fit any mobile device and features special retractable, “scratch-free” grip handles with protective padding that attach tightly around a mobile handheld to safeguard and secure even the most expensive device. The unit is compact (it measures 27/8″ x 13/8″ x 3/4″) and can easily fit into a small pocket. Plus, the Zhip is made from 100 percent polycarbonate “bullet-proof” material – making it extra strong and unbreakable – and comes equipped with a desktop stand.

The Zhip is affordably priced at $24.95 MSRP. The Zhip is currently available at the eStore at www.thezhip.com and retails in Best Buy stores. “Zhip it. Clip it. Go!” to watch movies and more anywhere, anytime … and take your entertainment center on the road.

What do you think? Is this a gift you want to receive? Would this be a good gift for someone on your list? Leave me a comment and let me know.
