I have found my new favorite place to shop online. Why do you ask? I just found the best deal ever on a Leapster 2 by using Shop.com. Now, Leapster 2s on their own run around $79.99, so when I saw this one, I got super excited. See, this one with a game is $79.99! This gets even better too! If you look closely at the Leapster, it is Star Wars! Now, Madison is a Star Wars freak, so I can only imagine how excited she would be to see this under the Christmas tree from Santa! I am excited, and this isn’t even for me. Also, because it black, this can easily be passed down from Madison to Will. I don’t have to worry about hearing that it’s a girl color! (Yes, I am thinking that far ahead).
Now, Shop.com has over 2,000 stores, so you can definitely find something for everyone there. You can type just about anything in the search engine on there, and it’ll pull it up. You will see all the stores that carry that item plus how much each one wants for it. I also love that purchases can be made using one universal “shopping cart” to buy everything at one time or by clicking over to participating merchants’ sites. You can easily get all your Christmas shopping done at one site and know you are getting the best price! I love that this takes some of the time and stress off me. I love that I found her present, and I was just browsing through the toys! Shop.com also has expert advice, shopping tips, and articles. My only complaint is that you can’t search through the toys by age (which is important when you have an 18 month old, since he still sticks everything in his mouth).
If you want a one stop shop for your Christmas shopping this year, Shop.com should be it. See you there, because I am going to do some more shopping!

Ever so often you come across a book or site that you find interesting. Today, I did just that.
The Capo’s Mistress by Richard Harris is an interesting book. The basic plot is that man meets woman. Woman is in trouble and asks man for help. Man accidentally brings the trouble back with him. I know, you are thinking that this story has been told 100 times already. However, from what I have read so far, this is a great book. It is not boring. I do not know how it ends yet, so I may have the plot a little off. However, so far, that is the plot line the story is taking. However, I have heard that “The ending is surprising, moving and one you will not soon forget.” That alone keeps me reading.
I personally enjoy the writing style (which from me is a huge compliment. I normally only care for John Grisham, Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz, Robin Cook, etc.). It seems like a fast easy read. It is a bit of a mystery novel and a bit of a romance novel. Normally, this would not flow together and make any sense. However, Richard Harris does is seamlessly. This is also the first book in the Mike Driscoll series. I look forward to finishing this book and reading others in this saga.
Interested? You can download The Capo’s Mistress for free until April 27 or pre-order The Capo’s Mistress at Amazon. It will be worth it.
