The Active Family

Okie Dokie. A long time ago I did the review for the EA Sports Active for the Wii. I gave it a big ol thumbs up, and used it for awhile, and then fell completely off the WiiFit wagon. I tried it out again last night, and I am giving it one thumb up and [...]

Ooooh You guys are gonna love this one. If you are staying up late finishing your wrapping, baking, and general Pre-Holiday mania, stay in the spirit with this bad larry.
Using my personal blender (The Rocket by Bella Kitchen) I’ve whipped up my own serving of Eggnog!!! This is also a great idea if you have [...]

Woohooo! I wasn’t going to buy the silly things anyway, but at least now I have a reasonably valid excuse as to why. On the news and in various publications is the story that a San Fransisco company found dangerous levels of toxic chemicals on the nose and fur of the ZhuZhu Pets they tested.

Sing with me now… I have found something that ACTUALLY works. Since I started taking Alli a few weeks ago, I have lost 6 pounds!
FOR REAL!
I haven’t changed a whole lot about how I eat, since I’ve always strived to eat in a healthy way. I have increased my activity level, barely. I am loving [...]

I. Love. Yard Sales.
There, I said it. I am a total garage sale junkie. I set aside entire Saturday mornings, I make sure I have plenty of dollar bills and quarters. I scout the signs, craigslist, and the paper for listings. Heck I even keep a LIST in my car so if I see a [...]

My daughter’s birthday was last weekend, and I had purchased this guitar set for her. I ordered it online from the Disney Store, but it’s everywhere now, and with great sales.
The set comes with a play guitar and a headset microphone. The guitar itself works well, if not a bit loudly. The headset leaves a [...]
