Tuesday Tribute: EA Sports Active Owners and My Rich Uncle

If you are naturally thin, then you probably won't relate to anything in this post and I probably don't like you. (Just Kidding!). Whether you are trying to drop a few pounds or just get into a healthy lifestyle by incorporating exercise into your daily routine, you can probably relate to the plague of "boredom". Seriously, my treadmill has been by BFF since last October, but change is good and having more than one friend is healthy. Have you seen the new EA Active for the Wii? I am convinced that I could look like the model in the commercials and I promise that I would do it EVERY DAY..........if only I had one. I would also need a wii since I don't have one of those, so we are looking at just over $300 for everything AND my birthday is just around the corner!!! Alison Sweeney looks AMAZING after having a baby just 4 short months ago and she has been workin' out with her trainer in a box aka Active. Of course she had one GIVEN to her. I simply ask...what does she have that I don't? ummm....MONEY!!!! I mean, haven't you noticed that we are in a recession? So, while I am sure that I would LOVE a wii and the new Active game, I will simply have to watch others on their 30 day challenges and admire from afar. Unless my long lost rich uncle shows up at my door step.

Aloha Friday

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

This is my new FAVORITE piece of jewelry!!!! I entered a Mother's Day contest to design your own necklace and I was one of the winners!!!! I based it on the Starfish Story and of course added my little ones' names. I just received it yesterday and LOVE the noise it makes with my charms clicking together when I walk down my stairs. Click on Kristen's shop button on my sidebar to check out ALL of her super cool jewelry. She is a super sweetheart to work with and does amazing work!!!

Do you have a favorite piece of jewelry?

Tuesday Tribute: Peer Pressure

I never thought I would say that I LOVE peer pressure, but I do!!!

Jaise is 3 and she has a friend, Avery who is one month younger than Jaise. Avery is as smart as a whip, seriously the little tyke could start college right now and be just fine!!! So, they both started a month or so ago to seriously potty train. Everyone has told me that "girls are SOOOO much easier than boys". Whateva.....

We started with a prize box and Jaise was on task. The cooler the prize, the more she wanted to pee AND if she poo-pood she got to pick TWO prizes!!!! We were sailing through and no accidents for an entire week. No more diapers....wahoo!!!!! Then......she stopped, recessed, pedaled backwards.......stopped peeing, etc. in the toilet. What?!!! I don't understand. Then I got tired of cleaning up accidents and put the pull-ups back on and cried....

THEN, Avery started coming to play with us yesterday and Avery doesn't wear pull-ups EVER!!! She asked Jaise why she was wearing them. Good question Avery! Then Avery went POOP on the potty and Jaise was a witness and all of a sudden had to go on the potty. BAM!!! The switch had been clicked again with only one accident yesterday.

Then last night.....you guessed it....."Mom, I have to go BIG poopy on the potty like Avery!!" and she DID!!!! I will spare you the details but we celebrated BIG time!!!! So I figure if we had this much success in one day, that within a month Jaise will be ready for college as well.
