Take Your Music With You With The Memorex TagAlong Portable Boombox for iPod & iPhone

Electronics, Gadgets, New posts, , , ,

I love music and all of my favorite music is on my iPhone which is fine when I’m in the car because I can use the FM Transmitter but at home, it wasn’t very easy to listen to music from my iPhone.. that is until I got a Memorex TagAlong™ Portable Boombox.  The TagAlong Portable Boombox moves with me from room to room so I can bring my tunes with me.  Naturally I have the fun, kids music playing on it when I’m downstairs with them, the relaxing music plays when I’m in the office, and I have a ‘sleepy time’ music playlist and I play via the TagAlong when I’m in bed.

The Memorex TagAlong Portable Boombox is small, lightweight, and easy to carry (note the convenient handle) and is available in black and white.

Memorex TagAlong Features:

  • The TagAlong Powers and charges your iPhone & iPod devices.
  • Line-in jack to connect other audio devices
  • Digital FM radio with station presets, includes FM antenna
  • Option to use with 4 AAA batteries (sold separately)
  • Includes AC adapter

The Memorex TagAlong has an MSRP of $59 but can be bought at Amazon.com (link above) for $49 now.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BabyDiaperSurvey.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you remember your birth process?  I bet you do and if you’re anything like me, you’re curious to hear what other parents have to say about the birth process and how their birth process was.  Although I have to admit, right after my first birth I got very irritated when I heard other moms talk about how painless and exhilarating the birth process was.  Really?  What planet did you give birth on?

Watch this amazing video featuring live birth snippets and new parents talking about the birth process

This video contains graphic content that you may not want your children to see.   It’s an amazing video for expecting and experienced parents to watch though, so take a moment and enjoy.

One dad in the video says about the birth process “It’s like a dream that you can really remember though”, while another dad says “That was the first time I was scared.. for the rest of my life”.

M&M's Coin Purse - Ecoist
M&M's Coin Purse - Ecoist

Would you love to be able to tell your friends that you have 60 M&M wrappers in your purse without having to eat tons of M&M’s?  You can!  That’s a devastating thought though.. not actually eating the M&M’s.

This eco-friendly M&M coin purse available at Ecoist is just the right size for carrying keys, credit cards, cash, and coins.  Each one of these coin purses uses 60 recycled candy wrappers.

If 60 wrappers isn’t good enough for you, get for many more with Ecoist’s M&M’s clutch which is 10 inches wide!  Imagine how many packages of M&M’s you could fit in that clutch!

Ecoist and MARS have partnered to repurpose misprinted labels bound for landfill and create recycled purses and environmentally friendly bags that feature your favorite candies. Candy wrapper handbags and accessories like these add color and fun to your wardrobe. These limited edition handbags will satisfy even the biggest sweet tooth.

New Bed 4 Anissa – Donating even $1 will help

Blogger Resources, , ,

I just donated $50 to the New Bed 4 Anissa fun via MommyBrainReports.com and ChipIn.com.   I love it when bloggers and people in general gather together to help a friend, or even someone they don’t know, out.  It doesn’t happen nearly enough and I think a lot of the reason why is that whether by choice or circumstance, we aren’t exposed to the problems enough.  Monica from MommyBrainReports.com stepped up and put Anissa’s ‘problem’ in front of us via her blog and Twitter, giving us all the opportunity to chip in and help.

Even though I’ve never met Anissa and have only actually communicated with her once or twice via Twitter I believe, I have followed her story for over a year and although she makes it nearly impossible to feel sorry for her, I empathize and want to help if only with a few dollars.. $50 in this case.    Amazingly enough, I live in Atlanta and so does Anissa.. but we’ve never met.

I can’t imagine being in Anissa’s position and not having a good bed to rest and sleep in. Where should I send the logos for the t-shirts?  That’s such a great idea.. I hope a lot of people chip in!

You can donate $1, $5, $10, $25, or $50.. or more here.
