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!

I spend most of my time looking at blogs to get ideas for crafts, scrapbooking, and cooking. That, and facebook. Thanks for a chance to win!
Work, play and everything in between!
I spead most of time working (I am a full time programmer). But my “downtime” is spent catching up on my favorite blogs and gossip sites!
Mostly it’s just playing!
I love reading blogs!
I mostly use my computer for following awesome blogs like yours! 😀
I check my email and search for deals!!
Work, work, work…..90% of my time at work is on the computer….
Most of my computer time is spent reading blogs or seeing what people have posted on Facebook. What would we do without the internet?!
I would have to say I spend most of my time couponing. I’m always looking for great deals!
I just got engaged 2 weeks ago, so now most of my time on my computer is spent researching all things wedding-related, orgnazing our thoughts, and trying to create our own invitations!! <3
Recipe blogging and the dreaded Facebook… it sucks you in and before you know it.. an hour has gotten away from you!

I work on a computer all day, but otherwise surfing and blog stuff.
Blogging, bills, shopping, social networking, looking for recipes, reading blogs… these are a few things I do with my computer time!
I spend my time surfing the net! That’s where I prefer to get my news.
I posted this on my blog. 🙂

Most all of my time is quickly reading blogs, facebook, and posting updates then spending all the remaining available time to homework, studying, and doing homework. IT sure is a change going back to school after 15 years away from college.
When I’m on the computer I’m usually checking my e-mail, facebook, or surfing blogs.
how cool is that little laptop! $250 would be fun for Christmas, does the contest really end in Dec? or should that say Nov?? I use most of my time on the computer surfing…wish I could have said something more productive sounding though!
I spend most of my time on the computer working on my blog 🙂
I mostly surf the internet and follow my favorite blogs.
80% working, 20% blogs, christmas shopping, recipe hunting.
i’m all about the Facebook! i run my husband’s Facebook work page and the rest of the time, i’m bragging/complaining about my kids!
Work (I am a Network Admin), Blogging, and fun!

I love to read blogs & playing Facebook games.
*hanging head in shame* I play Treasure Isle on Facebook. What a time suck!
Sometimes it seems I spend my whole day on my computer. I work from home so am on my computer at least 8 hours a day working. Then, in my off-time, I surf the web, manage household accounts/duties and read blogs (including yours of course). We also use our laptop to stream movies and TV shows.
Mainly work, but I do play a little bit! **sshhh**
50% working and 50% surfing

Mostly reading blogs! Or shopping… oops!
I use the computer for email correspondence, reading news, digital scrapbooking, and genealogy research.
I spend most of my time on the internest blogsurfing via google reader. I also spend a lot of time in my email, reading and writing messages.
