My Favorite Things for Summer! Blog Carnival

Welcome to the June 25, 2007 (Summer) edition of the My Favorite Things carnival!

If you are overwhelmed by spam (and who isn't?!), then you will benefit from our first submission, as Phil B. presents How to Recognize Junk Mails without ever Opening Them posted at Phil for Humanity: "That's right! A simple and easy way to recognize junk mail."

Addicted to pop culture? You will want to check into this insightful look into today's teens:
Karen Halls Lindsay Lohan’s Effect on Her Generation-- Addiction Recovery Blog posted at Addiction Recovery Blog.

Need a little help with your tech skills? Maybe you could use something like a modern-day swiss army knife for your computer. Don't worry, you don't have to cut into it!
The Free Geek has you covered with How to: Make Your USB Drive into a Digital Swiss Army Knife posted at The Free Geek.

If you're worried about maintaining your health, concerned about pesticides and chemicals that go into your food, but still have those nagging chocolate cravings like I do (MMMMmmm!),
Andrea has found the perfect solution with Cocolo Organic Chocolate | Review posted at Buy Organic.

Andrea also gives us the run-down on her favorite kitchen gadget: The Wonder Cooker posted at One Cooker.

What was that you were just saying? What about other kitchen gadgets?
Michelle Mitchell is so glad you asked! (By the way, this comes all the way from stunning Alaska. Viv plans to have some pics from her latest Alaskan cruise for you soon.) Read all about Michelle's favorite kitchen wonders: scribbit: What's Your Favorite Kitchen Gadget? | A Blog About Motherhood in Alaska posted at scribbit.

Crafty Moms (I know, I don't post near enough craft ideas! Have you realized yet that I am all thumbs?) can finally get their craft fixes! First, rejoice along with
Anastacia with this self-congratulatory and instructive post entitled The lime green, vintage yarn sweater is FINISHED! ... posted at Anastacia Knits.

Then, if you have a green thumb, head on out to the garden with
Stephanie for some outside craftiness with these Low Cost (and Free) Flower Beds posted at Stop the Ride!.

Here are some easy and fun additions for every crafter's supply basket!
Meredith Mathews presents Vintage Scratch n Sniff Stickers circa 1980 Fun! posted at Lemonade Stand.

Finally, you didn't think I would forget about all those other gamer Moms like me out there, did you? No way! I have to thank Ybother for bringing us this list of Top 10 Classic Game Remakes posted at A Top Ten List Everyday to Jumpstart Your Knowledge, since, "It is the summer holidays and many people have plenty of time on their hands. Some of us are stuck with laptops and can’t play the huge blockbuster games that require hefty graphic cards. Why not try these classic open source remakes? The underlying gameplay has already been proven and the graphics are updated to a presentable and playable level. Everyone of these games listed here were best sellers of their times and many of us hold great memories of these games."

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of the
