Tech :: The SanDisk Card Meets All Your Storage Needs
Don’t you hate when your devices aren’t working the way they should? I get so frustrated sometimes but I have found over the years that when my computer “acts up” it is usually because it is at full storage capacity. Recently, I heard about the SanDisk products that offer anything from professional-grade camera memory to point-and-shoot SD cards to microSD cards. I like that you can store your videos on the go and don’t have to worry about reaching your capacity on your devices! The SanDisk SD cards are perfect for students who have a ton of information they need to save and would make a great gift if your kids are heading off…

Latest & Greatest :: Numb Chucks : Kung Fu App
Does your family like quirky shows? Have you heard of Numb Chucks? It originated in Canada on YTV and premiered on January 7, 2014.

Amazon’s “Capture Their Love of Reading” Kindle Giveaway
Last year I had a chance to check out the new Kindle Fire HDX Tablet courtesy of Amazon and absolutely fell in love with it. I use to be pretty adamant about only reading book books but after trying out the Kindle I liked the ease of which I can order a book immediately in the comfort of my home. This has been really convenient when I am reading a series and can’t wait to start the next book. You know how that is when the author leaves you on a cliffhanger and you must start the new book immediately! Plus, I love all the deals they offer such as free books for…
