Update: Fall 2009 - Elmo Live! has been replaced by Elmo Live! Encore, a new and improved model with many new features. The older Elmo Live! is no longer generally available for sale in stores.
Encore! Encore! Now Elmo does even more. This almost life-like furry friend features all of the magic of the original Elmo Live but now he’s full of new surprises. He’ll tell new jokes, stories, songs and will even try some funny tongue twisters. Just squeeze his nose, or press his tummy, tickle his back and toes and he’ll come to life talking, waving his arms, sitting, standing and singing. To celebrate Sesame’s 40th Birthday, Elmo will be singing 3 classic songs from Sesame Street.

During the next few weeks, be on the lookout for some early Christmas shopping ideas from SavingsForecast.com. I look to cover all of the site’s major categories and will try to find the best deals, as usual. I am a parent of 2 young children, so I realize the importance of actually getting a great deal while making your Christmas shopping selections. There look to be some wonderful bargains shaping up and many retailers have once again planned to use free or discounted shipping for your purchases. Why go to the mall to fight the crowds, poor selection, and bad attitudes when you can get it direct to your door instead. Stay tuned.

Air Cleaners - On Target
I was talking to my brother-in-law over this holiday weekend about home air cleaners. We had purchased a couple a while back from Amazon and they seemed to have done their job quite well. He mentioned that he was looking to buy one at Target. (*I think for a hassle-free return, if needed.) Here are a few available at Target:

Friday Mix
Another Friday has rolled around and I thought I would toss some things up that are “Friday” themed. There is a good mix of everything here, from the NBC series Friday Night Lights to the horror movie Friday the 13th. How about a Warner Friday bra or some Friday Night Bowling? Lots of everyday Friday stuff in this post. Enjoy the final day in this seemingly long workweek.
