Awareness is Key to Cure

The fight against breast cancer is one that all women must fight. This is a global illness that impacts women of all races, ages, national origins, sexual preferences, and economic standing. There is no woman that is completely free of risk of this deadly disease and yet awareness, despite various campaigns, is still limited to a select few women around the world.

In an effort to increase awareness, there is a contest going on. The prizes are two beautiful pieces of jewelry that can be worn to share the message of awareness to everyone you come in contact with. Check out the contest and these beautiful prizes at From Cribs to Car Keys. While you are there take a good look around. You will find plenty of humor on this great blog in addition to the beautiful message of awareness.

If you value education about women's health and the issues that impact women globally, then you really should check out these pieces of jewelry and the message behind them. Even if you aren't the winner of the contest, you can follow the link to purchase these important items in the fight against breast cancer.

Geeky Toys for any Office Decor...Also Great for the Kiddos

I'll be the first to admit I'm a total geek. As such, Legos and these sorts of building toys have always fascinated me. I can spend hours contemplating, designing, and crafting new creations only to spend seconds destroying them and beginning the process over again. Yes I promise I did make it out of primary school. My point is, building toys are a LOT of fun...even for us big kids.

Now Nikki over at Mommy Know How is holding a contest. I believe she thinks we'll be giving these goodies to the kiddos (and if that's your style...great) but if you have an even bigger geek in your life it might make a great cubicle toy for those stressful days at the office. In my office (which is in my home) any decoration actually becomes child's play eventually so it really isn't all that selfish. This particular contest is for a Rescue Set Construction Kit by K'NEX. So be sure to head on over to Mommy Know How and see what her contest is all about.

After that you might want to remember that Sci Fi Fridays are back on Sci Fi with a vengeance. This is the final season of Battlestar Galactica and is off to a great start and Dr. Who has a new companion. The new show in the lineup is a spinoff of Dr. Who, The Adventures of Sarah Jane. That should have your weekend off to a fantastic Start.
