This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.
Let’s face it, life is busy. We, or maybe I should say “I” feel like I am always running around with my family just hoping to get everything I need to get done every single day. As a mom of 2 busy little boys, a wife, a recipe developer, website author and new cookbook writer, it is so very important for me to multi-task and use wise time management otherwise I am in big trouble.
I find it helpful to write down my responsibilities each week on paper so I can see them along with having family meetings so we are all on the same page then try to multi-task every chance I get.
When I come across things that make my life easier….and faster I am all ears.
I was selected by BlogHer and Intel to review a new computer powered by the Intel® Core™ i5 processor with Turbo Boost Technology that allows me to get more done in less time. Talk about excitement when I heard those words! The laptop is beautiful. I quickly opened the box and set it up all by myself. For someone who knows the bare minimum about running computers, I must say I was relieved how easy it was to get started.
An Intel® wireless display (akaWiDi) adaptor was also sent that allows me to use my HDTV a monitor. How cool is that? I can work on my blog or type recipes on the big screen in my living room. I can NOT wait to get playing on this new computer. Stay tuned to hear more about my experience!

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I spend time watching the tv shows I miss since I don’t have cable. But I also surf, and chat with friends.
it’s a little bit of everything, but i’m mostly using the computer for work and to surf my favorite sites (not necessarily in that order!)
I think work is subjective. Some work online is fun, some is mundane but required. So I guess I’m always working:)
I use my computer to search blogs for new recipes and fun ideas for my family, emails, facebook and paying bills:)
I definitely spend my time online reading blogs and entering contests. 🙂 I’m also taking a couple of classes through the internet.
I spnd most of my time working either at the office or on my blog.
Work, work, work… play, play, play… and play…
I work at IBM and use my computer 8 hours a day for work. At home I do some surfing and watching streaming shows.
Reading blogs!
I spend most of my time looking at facebook! SO SAD! But I also pay bills and shop online.
I spend a lot of time reading blogs and catching up with people online.
I check Facebook, e-mails, work on photos, going to try digital scrapbooking!
And of course, reading your blog!
I spend 70% of my time uploading pictures-organizing them in my folders and editing them. I love photography and I enjoy taking pictures of my cute nieces and nephews, and of course my lovely Cocker Spaniel, Sadie! The other 30% icludes surfing the web, playing games, and chatting with friends/family!
mostly schoolwork…and searching for the latest and greatest products!
I mainly use my computer for work (I do my husband’s business books). But also love to look for recipes and surf the web!
Most of my time on the computer is for work, though reading blogs and doing homework are right behind the amount of time I spend for work.
I probably spend 60% goofing around (blog stocking, facebook, etc), and the other 40% doing emails, updating pictures, and the like. I will admit I waste too much time!
I use the computer for work and to surf blogs.
Play, Play, Play and some school work.
I typical use my time on the computer doing just this…checking out my favorite food blogs and getting great recipe ideas! Picky Palate is my all time favorite. I drool everytime!
surfing “researching” the internet–while I am working 🙂
I use my computer for mainly shopping, pictures, catching up on gossip and sometimes work 🙂
Doing Work
Checking blogs and e-mail!
Mainly work but am easily distracted with all the wonderful blogs out there for cooking and crafts.
Sometimes I feel like 80% of my day is spent on the computer! I use it mostly for work, reading blogs, schoolwork and checking email & facebook. 🙂
i spend most of my time blogging! hahaha
I would say mostly work but use it to pay bills, keep up with friends, the news, and the weather.
Blogging takes most of my time on the computer, but my husband also uses the same computer to work on his thesis (making maps and writing computer programming to deal with map data).
I read a lot of blogs. So…probably 80% play and 20% work.
I love checking my google reader for great deals, recipes, and blogs!
I spend most of my time online checking out blogs!! Looking for great ideas of what to make for dinner, or gifts that I can give and things to make my house cute!!! Tricia
I spend all of my time at work entering payroll so that I can ensure everyone gets a paycheck 🙂 I do spend time surfing the net whether it’s emailing or promotions for my children. While at home, I’m on my computer to upload new photos, emailing, etc prob 20% of the time til my kiddos are in bed. 🙂
Email, Blogs & Facebook. All play!
I spend half of my time researching/doing stuff with my kids for homeschool, and half of the time playing around reading blogs, on Facebook, or playing games!
Most of my computer time is work related but I do love reading blogs!!
