Wii Best Family Outdoor Fun Game Giveaway

by CajunMama

The first thing my son packs for any family vacation road trip is a game system. I’m always glad when he brings it, because as a family we love playing multi-player games in the evenings or if the weather prohibits an outdoor adventure.
When we aren’t traveling, the neighbors will stop by for a visit on the [...]

I go everywhere with this item. Seriously. It fits neatly in the side pocket of my Tom Bihn Smart Alec backpack. I’ve pulled this sucker out at airports, in hotel rooms, and it has even come in super-handy at tech conferences like SxSw and BlogWorldExpo.

TuGo Luggage Drink Holder

by CajunMama

This would be a really good product to have if I wasn’t already a fan of my backpack. If I end up bringing another bag, I suck up the fee and check it because I refuse to torture myself by navigating an airport loaded down. However, I did test this item out by attaching it [...]

GoGirl Female Urination Device

by CajunMama

A few months ago a friend sent me a link to an Australian commercial hawking a similar product. It helps gals stand up to pee. I’m a country girl and have no qualms with squatting behind a bush, but I do know that I always wonder if something is going to bite my behind. Maybe [...]

Poo-Pourri – I noticed this product in gift shops around where I live and had to giggle and point it out to my shopping companions. The concept is actually pretty smart, even if people won’t admit to buying it. My husband was kind enough to try this product out and says it should be available [...]

A while back I was gathering review items for a “snow virgin” story, and along came a pair of waterproof GORE-TEX® hiking boots.

Travel Humidifier

by CajunMama

I live in a humid area, and when I travel north of Alexandria (Louisiana) or out towards the western side of the US, I always get a nose bleed and cracked skin. The dry air sucks the moisture out of my body and I sometimes wonder if I was mistakenly placed on Mars. Unfortunately, my [...]
