Zoobie Pets – It’s Not Just Another Plush Animal
Posted on 31. Jul, 2009 by Mom Mag.
Zoobie Pets
What’s The Cost: Under $30.00
I recently had the privilege to review one of these wonderful plush pets. My oldest son decided that he wanted Kojo the Croc, which you see pictured to the left. First of all I’m not a big fan of crocodiles and Zoobie pets come in a large variety of other safari animals such as a lion, zebra, cheetah, etc., so I was a little saddened that he chose the croc. 
Kojo arrived today and I was eager to see what these new plush pets are all about. Kojo is actually really cute, even for a crocodile. When I first took him out of his package I was amazed at how soft he was.
A Zoobie Pet is a three in one plush animal that has three functions.
1. Zoobie pets can be carried around by your youngsters as the adorable plush animals that they are.
2. A few quick releases of two velco tabs can turn your pet into a very soft pillow.
3. A quick zip reviews a generous size, extra soft, blanket that your kids will love to snuggle with. The best part is that these blankets can easily be removed by a zipper for washing in the washer.
Overall, I am very happy with this product and they make great traveling buddies for your kids. They’re safe for children and are so soft and squishy that I don’t think any child would be disappointed with one of these little guys.

The Tragedy Of When A Family Member Passes
Posted on 20. Jul, 2009 by Mom Mag.
The saddest moment in a person’s life could probably be the death of someone he truly loves. It could either be the death of a family member or a close friend. When this tragic event occurs, there is also a need to plan and prepare the funeral and some legal stuff, even if how painful as it may seem.
When your loved one dies, the first step to take is to contact a funeral director. A funeral director would be needed by the surviving family for guidance about the preparation and the type of funeral they would want for their deceased loved one. This way, the arrangements for the funeral services and burials will be taken care of properly. A funeral director can provide copies of the death certificate as well.
Moreover, it is also important to locate important papers such as insurance policies, business agreements, bankbooks, wills, marriage and birth certificates and others. These papers are really important and would need urgent attention.
In some cases you would have to pay estate taxes and income taxes for the previous year. In order to fully recognize certain legal issues, it would be wise to contact your attorney or your financial advisor for help.
A trust officer is someone you can contact immediately for help. He can guide surviving members of the family when it comes to dealing in investments, estate settlements and household expenditures. It would also help if you cancel the subscriptions of your loved one’s mail as well as phone and utility services.
The current debt of the deceased should also be taken care of. Credit life insurance usually covers majority of installment loans and credit card accounts so this wouldn’t be much of a problem for the surviving family member. But in case the insurance doesn’t cover them, seek the help of your financial advisor immediately.
One more thing you can do is to change or cancel registrations that your deceased loved one had such as cars, bank accounts, real estate, etc. It would be your responsibility to take care of these things when your loved one dies. You have no choice but to do it during the grieving process. But things would not be difficult if things are planned carefully and you seek the help of professionals.

Famous Perfume Labels And Their Celebrity Endorsements
Posted on 18. Jul, 2009 by Mom Mag.
It seems like every famous person out there has their individual perfume or fragrance these days. I don’t know if it’s that they believe they have something special to present to the world, or if it’s simply an self-esteem boost to obtain their “signature scent.” Just make sure that if you mean to purchase a celebrity scent, that you pay for the quality of the fragrance and not just the celeb name attached.
Make certain that any women’s fragrances you buy compliment your body chemistry. Just because it smells fantastic on J. Lo doesn’t imply that it will suit you as well. Jennifer Lopez has had so much success with her perfumes that she has created a number of them. Still, Glow, Live and Deseo are just a few. Celine Dion is another celebrity who has done very well producing and promoting a scent by her own name. Britney Spears’ Curious has also been pretty popular as well along with Midnight Fantasy, Believe, and Fantasy.
One of the latest women’s fragrances on the market that has become increasingly all the rage is Sean John’s Unforgivable. It’s not often that a man can develope a scent that appeals to women as well. Mariah Carey has two fragrances offered, but M is favored over Luscious Pink. Intimately Beckham for Women by David and Victoria Beckham is a pretty popular floral fragrance that has gained popularity over the past year.
Younger girls have gone passionate over Hilary Duff’s With Love perfume. It’s very girly and womanly. Paris Hilton has also released a multitude of fragrances, but it all began with her signature scent fittingly named, Paris Hilton. Heiress and Can Can are also tremendously fashionable. For the more wild, punk rocker chick, Gwen Stefani does not disappoint with her L Lamb and Harajuku Lovers.
In all probability the absolute number one best selling celebrity perfume is Lovely, by Sarah Jessica Parker. The name just tells it all — positively lovely. SJP followed that up with a new popular perfume, Covet.
Of course, there are an abundance of perfumes that are entirely ageless. They will never go out of style. Celebrities rise and fall; fame fades, but Chanel lives on without end! Estee Lauder has been a top seller of fragrances since the 1950s! Givenchy by Michael Hy has also been around for decades. Amor Amor by the Design House of Cacharel has only been around since 2003, but is a top seller nonetheless.
It seems that many of the top fragrances are floral in nature, but many include notes of musks, woods, fruits, or spice. Your fragrances may change as you age and depending on the time of day (or month!), your mood, or the event that you are attending, but selecting a “signature scent” is a big decision. When there’s no special occasion, this will be you. Your scent. If it’s with the help of a star, great! If it’s a timeless selection that always in vouge, fabulous! Just make sure that whatever women’s fragrances they are, you fancy then and they loves you.

Preparing Fish – My Personal Tips
Posted on 15. Jul, 2009 by Mom Mag.
Are you looking for great fish recipes? One of the best ways to cook an oily fish, such as mackerel, is to use a cedar board. Make sure you clean and gut the fish, removing any scales. Brush the cedar board with a light coating of olive oil. Stuff the body cavity of the mackerel with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Use lemon to reduce the acidity of fish by placing half a lemon in the body cavity, this will also reduce oiliness. Place the fish on the board and cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. When you remove the fish from the oven allow it to cool for 2-5 minutes before serving.
Not many people cook oily fish, because they don’t know about this fun and exciting way to spice it up. Check back often for more exciting fish recipes. My favorite way to make grilled fish is to baste it with a sauce made of soy sauce, garlic paste, ginger paste, and a small amount of ground cayenne. I place the fish in foil and grill the fish till it is browned. At the same time, I grilled onions, garlic, potatoes, as well as ripe mangoes.
I cooked those till they trun brown which was followed by serving of fish in the middle of viggies and fruits and ginger soy sauce mainly on the top. The choice of fish is your decision, although keep in mind that a milder fish will help to enhance the vegetables and fruits. While cookong this grilled fish dish is easy and makes a person feel like a gourmet chef, the better choice would be the fish with the stronger robust taste. Serve this with a light, fruity white wine! My husband and several of his boating buddies have a fishing tournament every year.
They fish on Lake Erie and try to get perch and/or pickerel. A winner is declared after the fish is counted, but I don’t think there is ever a prize. Those people are having a fish fry at someone’s house where a large gathering of people will be invited. However, I believe that they are having this fish fry so that they can show it off later on. All of the participants come and bring their families. Everyone brings along a side dish of some kind. Then, some of the guys fire up their deep fryers and make deep fried fish and some onion rings and French fries, too. Fried fish taste great, but it may not be the best thing for most people to eat, in the middle of the summertime because of the heat.
And copious amounts of beer are flowing too, which can be a little too much for some folks to stomach. Not having an iron constitution myself, I opt for just a little piece of fried fish and just go crazy trying all the different side dishes!
