Buddy is an unusual elf at Santa's workshop. He's taller than most elves because, well he's not a real elf. He's human. When Buddy was a baby, he accidentally hitched a ride on Santa's sleigh one Christmas night. (Like, who wouldn't want to ride Santa's sleigh just once?)
Buddy was raised by an elf who taught him the most important skill an elf can learn--how to make toys! This year Buddy worked hard on making the Top 5 Hottest Christmas toys for kids.

"Sunny day. Sweepin the clouds away. On my way to where the air is sweet. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street." Growing up,
Sesame Street was my 'hood. Every morning, I would sit in front of the TV with my bowl of cereal and wait for Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster to entertain me. While I was being entertained little did I know I was also learning all sorts of lessons on life.
Every positive message and life lesson was conveyed in a fun way for a five year-old me to comprehend. With those lessons, I took away the message to always have respect for others, which was one of the biggest things that I learned and continually use in my life (
it's so important to know that what you learn at a young age, you carry on throughout your life).
Now that I am a mom, it's exciting to watch Sesame Street with my kids, when I occasionally catch it on PBS (
I get to share a piece of my childhood with them--there was no Nickelodeon back then). The closest my kids get to Sesame Street is the annoying
Tickle Me Elmo doll, my best friend bought a couple years back (
I've already attempted to throw him away a few dozen times and have been unsuccessful).
Now Sesame Street and
PNC Bank have teamed up to teach children about spending, sharing and saving money in a fun way with the
For Me, For You, For Later initiative.

Stuff We Like
Pocket-size digital cameras sales continue to increase year after year. The quality of pixels improve and the size of the camera grows smaller and thinner. These tiny gadgets are great to have when on vacation or stored in your glove box or carry in your purse for that unexpected picture-perfect moment.
Downside of course is that you usually wait until you get home to
Photoshop the photographs before you send copies to friends and family. But what if I told you that you don't have to wait anymore?

Product Review
As a general rule, electronics and mud don't mix. So it was with great trepidation that I dragged a
Kodak Playsport pocket camcorder through an actual mud pit during a race called the
Warrior Dash.
Mind you, I don't mean the camera got splashed with a little dirt. I mean it got submerged in muck while I crawled on my hands and knees through about 30 feet of it.
I'm happy to report I survived the race--and so did the Playsport.
