Congratulations to Laurel of Laurel Wreaths Reflections on winning the Grand Prize of a Wii System and Wii Fit in the Wii Fit Mommiis Giveaway!

Julie and her crew of Wii Fit Momiis really put on a wonderful party Wednesday night on Twitter!  Many of us were new to Twitter Parties and I think everyone did a fabulous job!  Everyone was able to chat about their experiences with the Wii and their was even a representative from Nintendo online with us to answer questions and talk about all the cool things you can do with a Wii.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t the big winner, I guess I’ve got to keep saving my pennies.  If you have a Wii Fit and would like to connect with other users, head over to Wii Fit Mommiis and join the challenge.  It’s a great support system.

Let’s get fit,

Happy December 10th, 2008

Sometimes don’t you like to do things you’ve done a million times before?  Like reading a book you’ve worn the cover off of, or watching a movie you could recite word for word, just because it makes you feel good?

That’s what todays post is all about.  Feeling good, laughing and maybe crying some too.  But first let’s laugh a little with the Christmas movie that has become a tradition in our house…

These two movies are in my opinion the best Christmas movies of all time.  I could watch them both over and over again… 

  In case you don’t have time to watch the whole movie this year, here’s the best part:

I’m feeling pretty good now, how ’bout you?

Merry Christmas,

I was EC dropping this evening and happened upon this fun little list, it sorta reminded me of a “Bucket List”, someone else’s list, but very interesting just the same to compare!  It’s a random list of 100 activities and the ones that are bolded I have done.  

The list came from Kathy and the is8enough blog.  Thanks Kathy!

I came in right at 50%  What is your percentage? 

This was fun!

I’d like to expand the list to at least 200.

I’ve started a “Bucket List” in the sidebar.

Send Me Your Ideas!

“Don’t worry, the new neighbors SEEM really nice”

“Something like that wouldn’t ever happen around here”

“Not in my neighborhood”

Ever since I became a mother, I have no tolerance for worthless sentiments like the ones above.  It is a shame that we must be suspicious of everyone, but it’s  the lesser of two evils when our families safety is at stake.   

Every state has a “Public Protection Registry” which lists sex offenders ~ simply google your states name plus “public protection registry”.  Once you locate the site, you enter your street address.  If there are any sex offenders in your area, you will see flags or boxes.  Click and you will see the persons name and address, their picture, the nature of their crime.  The site shows you where they live in proximity to your home and the local schools.  After I checked my home, I also entered the addresses of our favorite parks, ball fields etc.   I checked all of the places that my children visit on a regular basis. 

You just can’t be too safe these days… Check your neighborhood and favorite hang-outs, and pass the site along to your friends and family. 

Be Safe,
