My Thoughts:

I love it!!!
This game is pretty simple to follow along and great for different skill levels. This is a great fun dance but exercise game to play by yourself or as a group. If you are new to Zumba, no worries... Just follow along with the tutorial to learn the steps in the comfort of your own home. The video cueing system makes the choreography really easy to follow with simple instruction. If you already enjoy zumba, then you should love this game as well.

I love the Progress Tracker which is a great incentive by telling you how many calories you burned. The zumba fitness belt included in the wii game is a great way to dance hands free and makes it more effective and fun. I love the different music tracks and many routines that keeps this game extra fun. What a great way to burn alot of calories and have fun at the same time. I highly recommend this!! I am going to be including this game and healthy eating habits to reach my goal in the New Year.

This game can be purchased at many retailers for around $39.99. It's is selling at amazon.com for just $29.99, which is a great deal!! Pick yours up for some great fun... You almost forget it's exercise.

Merry Christmas

Wishing You all a Merry Christmas!!! Remember the reason for the Season!

The Black Shard -Book Review

About the Book:

The Black Shard, Victoria Simcox’s fast-paced, intricately woven sequel to The Magic Warble, takes Kristina Kingsly and her schoolmates back to Bernovem … and into a thrilling, often dangerous adventure.

Kristina’s stay at summer horse camp is horrible to say the least, and it’s all because Hester and Davina are there as well, making her life miserable. When Hester’s cruel prank goes terribly wrong, it’s actually what sends the three girls back to the magical land of Bernovem. In Bernovem, Kristina is very excited to see her former friend, Prince Werrien. When he invites her to sail with him on his ship to his homeland Tezerel, putting it simply, Kristina can’t refuse.

Reunited with her gnome, dwarf, animal, fairy friends … and best of all, Werrien, things seem like they couldn’t get any better for Kristina. But when Werrien becomes fascinated with an unusual seeing stone, the “Black Shard”, Kristina is haunted by a ghostlike old hag. Struggling against suspicion, guilt, illness, and ultimately the one who wants to possess her soul, Kristina will see it’s in her weakest moment that she will encounter more strength than she has ever known.

Finally this book has hit the shelves!! The Black Shard is the sequel to the Magic Warble, which my daughter absolutely loved! (You can read our review here.) Both books are great for tween and teen readers, yet adults will love these books too. This book picks up where the Magic Warble left off, yet if you have not read the Magic Warble first,(which I recommend) you would still enjoy reading this book.

The Author, Victoria Simcox, does such a great job keeping the reader guessing and interested as she weaves the characters and story together. This book is full of adventure and just alittle romance as the characters are a few years older then in her last book. I don't want to tell you too much and ruin the story for you, but there are twists and turns and the way this story ended, the door was definitely left open. At least, I hope that Victoria is in the process of writing a third book.

For more information on The Black Shard please visit: www.theblackshard.com

This book can be purchased on Amazon and would make a great Christmas gift!

You can Follow Author Victoria Simcox on twitter and The Black Shard on Facebook.

DVR Deleted

Guest written by our friend Gladys Fuentes

I was so mad at my husband last night. He somehow managed to delete every show that I had recorded on our DVR. I used to watch my shows on the nights they came on, but once we got directv, I was able to record my shows when they came on and watch them whenever I wanted to. I have been pretty busy lately and it has been several weeks since I watched my favorite TV shows, so our DVR was starting to fill up. My husband took it upon himself to free up some space so he could record three football games on the same day. He said that he did not mean to clear everything on the DVR, but he did. I was already irritated that his obsession with football has taken over three nights each week. Now that the only things left on the DVR are his football games, I am even more annoyed. He told me I could go online and watch any episodes I had missed, but I do not enjoy watching shows online. Maybe I will accidentally delete his football games.

Looking for that perfect gift? Shopping Online?

As the Holiday's are getting closer, many of us are shopping! I have been shopping in the stores and online. The problem I'm having is finding just the right gift for everyone.

My husband is easy to buy clothes for, but sometimes he wants truck parts like cheap nerf bars so I have do look online to order something like this. I'm thinking about asking his buddies to give me ideas for him.

My kids love to play sports! As they play different sports, they need different gear and equipment. As the new sports season starts, the kids need new cleats. I have been looking online for cheap nike soccer cleats and basketball sneakers. My son has been growing like crazy and needs to be prepared and have the right gear to play his best. Sports related gifts are always good for him.

My Grandmother is really hard to buy for. She has just about everything! She loves the outdoors, but with the weather getting colder, she loves to sit in the sunroom and watch the birds. I found a cheap rocking chair that would be great for her. I think this could be used inside or outdoors. I hope that she likes this.

I'm taking suggestions and tips for the perfect gift, and as the weather is starting to get colder and snowy, shopping online would be much easier. Feel free to leave me any suggestions.

Digital Photography Book Review and Giveaway

Digital Photography: A Basic Manual
By: Henry Horenstein

Book Description:
This thorough, concise, and easy-to-use guide to capturing digital photographs provides an entire step-by-step course for budding digital photographers. All concepts are fully illustrated with sample work by internationally renowned professionals, representing editorial work, photojournalism, and everything in between. Topics covered include essential information for both film and digital photography, such as exposure controls and shutter speed, as well as digital-specific information on image editing, printing methods, and even file storage. The first digital textbook by legendary photography teacher Henry Horenstein, Digital Photography is the best guide yet for aspiring digital photographers, essential both for photographers transitioning from film to digital and those learning the art of photography for the first time.

About the Author:
Henry Horenstein is a widely published and exhibited professional photographer and the author of more than two dozen books, including the classic texts Black & White Photography and Beyond Basic Photography, and monographs such as Honky Tonk, Animalia, Show,and Close Relations. Horenstein is a professor at the Rhode Island
School of Design, where he has taught for more than twenty years. He lives and
works in Boston.

I love taking pictures! I love using a digital camera as you can usually tell if you get a good picture or not. Sometimes, though, I don't always get the best quality and I often wondered if it was me not knowing how to use my camera or my camera not performing that good. After reading this book, I know that it was a combination of my picture taking technique and my camera.

This book provides an entire step-by-step course on today's digital workflow. You get the essential information about exposure controls, shutter speed, subject lightening and more. Among the many things you will learn how to choose a camera that's perfect for you. (Which is great knowing that my daughter wants a new camera for Christmas.) Also, you learn tips and technique about when and how to use the manual settings and also you learn how to troubleshoot and solve problems in image making, editing and printing. This book is very helpful and is easy to understand. I think that the newest camera users and even those advanced would love this very useful guide.

Carmex Skin Care Review and Giveaway

Giveaway Closed! Congrats Yona

For nearly 75 years, people have come to love the healing power of Carmex lip balms.

Carmex Healing Lotion
The 5.5-ounce Healing Lotion features aloe and vitamin E to moisturize, heal and protect skin from dryness. It has a light, pleasant scent and is formulated for daily healing and moisturizing.
I really like this new lotion. You can use this daily, apply anywhere your skin feels dry. I have been using this on my hands and it coats my skin going on so smooth. It leaves my hands feeling soft and I love that it absorbs fast so you don't get a greasy feel.

Carmex Healing Cream
The 4-ounce Healing Cream is a thicker, more concentrated formula that penetrates deep into the skin to help repair extremely dry, cracked skin. It features nine concentrated healing and moisturizing ingredients and can be used anywhere on the body. It is particularly effective on areas that typically get very dry, like the hands, feet, elbows and knees.
This is to be used on your driest skin, like my elbows and feet. I have been using this for about a week now, and really can notice a huge difference. This is concentrated, so alittle amount goes a long way. This is also non-greasy and I like the light clean scent it has. This has really helped to repair my dry skin and I love the price.

Members Mark 4X Probiotic Review

About two weeks ago, I had mentioned that I wanted to be Healthier and I was going to try out a new product.

I had visited Sam's Club and purchased Members Mark 4X Probiotic Digestive Care Supplements.







About Member´s Mark 4X Probiotic:
This product contains 4 strains of natural beneficial bacteria: Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum. When taken daily, this product will help support and maintain a healthy digestive system.

Age,bad diet, stress and other lifestyles can cause pain in your stomach and not be good for your immune system(at least that's what I've been told), so I am hoping that taking this product might help me to be more regular and avoid stomach discomfort.

So did it?

I'm not completely sure...

Taking this probiotic was pretty simple. I just took one pill daily. They are fairly large in size but easy to swallow with water. I did not have any taste issues as I didn't taste it while swallowing the pill or have any aftertaste.

They come in 2 Boxes, each with a 6 week supply. Each weekly pack is labeled with each day printed on them, so you know which days you took them. Again- Simple!

My results may vary from others. The first two days, I didn't notice anything. Then on days 3,4 and 5; I didn't have any stomach pains, but I did have to go to the bathroom more often. I almost was wondering if I wanted to continue using this product. I did continue on for another week, as I was suppose to try this product out for a full two weeks. It did make me more regular, but seemed to have given me more frequent visits to the bathroom. ( Which I guess is normal.) I don't get that bloated feeling as much and I think that is the results of taking this product. I'm not sure if I love this product and would purchase it again, but I do think that it is making me feel better overall. Everybody is different and if you take a probiotic, you might want to try out this product. It seems like a pretty reasonable price for a 12 week supply.



Disclosure: This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and MamaBzz. This is my honest thoughts and opinion.

I love to Cozy up by the fireplace as the seasons change

Home is where the heart is!!! My Mom loves her home. She has lived in it all but 10 years of her life. She grew up in this house and when my Grandparent's decided to downsize and build a smaller home a few miles away, my Mom had to have the house she grew up in. It has many memories for her and us too.

My Parent's have a beautiful fireplace in their living room. This fireplace is also very sentimental. My Grandfather and his friend built this beautiful fireplace themselves, back in the day. The fireplace is beautiful to look at and when the weather starts to get cooler, it gets used quite often.

(Here's a picture of my Parent's standing in front of it)


As the season switches from Daylight Saving to Standard time, and the nights are getting longer, I love to sit and relax by the fireplace. The crackle of the fire and the warmth in the air justs gives you that cozy feeling.

As the Holiday's get closer, my Mom decorates the top of her fireplace with her Christmas Villages and it looks so festive. She hangs our stockings and it brings back those memories of us as kids, awaiting Santa and a gift. As we get older, we realize the gifts we have are a great family and getting to spend so much time together.

There is nothing like, just sitting and relaxing by the fireplace. We really enjoy it especially while it's cold and snowy outside and warm and cozy inside. There's just something about it!

Farm Rich Product Review and Giveaway

Giveaway now Closed! Congrats to Caryn!


Looking for a great snack, an appetizer or something for a quick dinner? Farm Rich has got you covered!

Here's The First of my Favorites!!



You may remember tasting your first cheese stick when you were a kid, probably while sitting around a table with your parents at one of your favorite restaurants. Now, you can introduce the wonders of cheese sticks to your own kids at home. In the process, you might even develop some sort of a cheese stick bond with them.

Cheese Sticks:
- Made with 100% real mozzarella cheese

- Breaded and seasoned to perfection
- Good source of calcium and protein

- 0g trans fat per serving
- Comes in 10 oz snack pack & 52 oz value pack

If you’re like us, you probably want to get the cheese sticks out of the bag and into your and your kids' mouths as quickly as possible. Just don’t forget to heat them up first. There are 3 quick and easy ways to do it: in the Microwave, the oven or deep fryer.

My husband and I love them just as much as our kids do! Of course, my favorite is cooking them in the deep fryer, they only take about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes and come out nice and crunchy. The breading was just the right amount. It wasn't thickly caked on and had a light flavor while the cheese inside was great tasting. I love to make these as an appetizer or as a side for dinner. They also make a great snack and the kids can cook them without any help in the microwave. We love them with a side of marinara sauce great for dunking.

My other favorite is the Mini Pizza Slices!



No matter how you slice it, pizza has always been, and still is, one of my favorite foods and my kids. But let’s be honest. A long, floppy slice can be a little too much for the average kid to handle. Not so with authentic pizzeria-style Farm Rich Mini Stuffed Pizza Slices. These little guys fit a kid’s mouth and hands perfectly, but taste great that adults love them too.

- Authentic pizzeria-style crust
- Made with 100% real mozzarella cheese
- Whole pepperoni slices
- Classic marinara sauce
- Good source of calcium and protein
- 0g trans fats per serving

They’ve taken care of rolling the dough, spreading the sauce, and stuffing them with cheese and pepperoni. The only thing you have to do is decide whether you want to pop them in the oven (or toaster oven) or the microwave. Either way, they’ll be ready in no time at all.

My favorite way to cook these are to put them in the microwave for a minute and stick them in the toaster oven for a few minutes and they come out nice and crispy. Otherwise, if I don't have as much time, they cook in the microwave in just 2 minutes or so. These are really good! They have a great flavor to them, with just the right amount of sauce,pepperoni and cheese. The only problem I have, is that they don't last long enough in my house. (LOL- wishing the kids and hubby didn't like them so I didn't have to share.)

These Farm Rich products are great to have in your freezer for that anytime snack!
They have many items to choose from to satisfy most of us. Get yours today at your favorite grocery store. Click here for a coupon on your next purchase.

Or Win it!!! One of my lucky readers will win(2)coupons good for a free Farm Rich product(snacks and appetizers) up to $6.99.

Many of us think that Babies are really cute!!  We may also think that Puppies are Cute too, but which do you think will win the Puppies vs. Babies online contest ?

I'm going to pick... Either way, someone's not going to agree with me!

 I am going to pick Puppies!  Ok. I said it Puppies!! What's not to love about their cute little faces.

My niece is the cutest little baby! But, I have seen some babies that really are not cute!!  Sorry, if that offended You, but You may have been  the one who heard " You're Baby is So Big" ,that is because the person wanted to comment about your baby and didn't want to lie to you or not be polite.  Is that because she had only a face a Mother could love?

 Let's face it... Puppies are pretty darn cute!!  You keep seeing these TV commercials with the puppies on them.  That is because people love puppies!  They are so cute and  they get our attention.

Natural House Probiotic Cleaners Review and Giveaway

As I'm learning about the benefits of probiotics, I found a great natural household cleaning product!

I am getting tired of having to use harsh chemicals to get a good cleaning! I really would like to use products that won't make my kids or pets sick, if they happen to get into them. I remember while my daughter was about 2 years old and she had gotten into my Mom's cupboard and starting sucking on her floor cleaner. I was so scared and had to call poison control. Things turned out ok but I was really worried. I don't want parents to have to go through that!

Natural House probiotic cleaning products brings you a revolutionary, new method of cleaning the most dirty areas of your home.
Their products use an eco-friendly cleaning method of probiotics that create a beneficial, odor eating ecosystem to naturally drive out and digest odors at their source. Natural House's plant-based ingredients are eco-friendly, non-toxic and biodegradable to naturally fight the toughest problems you face in your house.

Sinky and Flushy even break down and digest fats, oil, grease, and solid waste to ensure your disposal, pipes, drain lines or septic tank run smoothly.
These cleaners contain good probiotics which continue to scour, clean, consume odors, grime, grease, and germs, and they continue to do so until your next weekly treatment!

Check it out!!!


I had the opportunity to try out these products and love them!! They are easy to use, work great and smell good.



Flushy Probiotic Cleaning packet is a powerful toilet bowl cleaner + Drain and Septic Treatment in one. This professional strength formula cuts through stains, hard water and calcium deposits in the bowl. The probiotics continue to consume toilet paper and waste build up in the p-trap, drain and pipes, and maintains the health of your septic system.

I love that it's like getting two products in one with such an added bonus with breaking down the toilet paper and waste build up. Flushy works really good to clean the toilet bowl. It is so easy to use! Just toss one in and let the foaming action get to work!


Sinky Probiotic Cleaning packet breaks down grease and food scraps to help prevent clogs and slow drains. Used weekly, Sinky will scour your drain and disposal driving out odors at their source.
The action is in the foam! When using your Natural House products be sure and let it foam first to release the cleaning agents before going to the next step on the package directions.

This is so simple to use! I love the fresh smell my kitchen sink had after using this product. My sink drain seemed to be moving water and stuff alot quicker after using this.


Trashy Probiotic Cleaning removes odors at their source. Use trashy in your indoor or outdoor trash cans to dissolve odors, grease and food scraps.
This is a spray not a foaming action disposable pack. The spray has a minty scent and works great. Spray alittle each time you change your trash bag, or use more when needed.

The short and skinny of it is ... Natural House probiotic cleaners keep on cleaning long after you've stopped! The prices are great too! Each of these items can be purchased for $4.99 each on NaturalHouse.com
Or you can purchase Natural House on Amazon. This is a nice option for those who use Amazon perks like "Free Super Saver Shipping" or "Amazon Prime".

Win it!!! One of my lucky readers will win a 30 day supply of Flushy,Sinky and Trashy.

Adding a Probiotic for better health~4X Probiotic Review Coming Up

I've been slacking lately in doing my exercises and good eating habits! But... the time has to come to change that! I want to be Healthier! I want to be have more energy, tone up, and feel good! I am looking at all over better health and I was given the opportunity to review a new product that I'm hoping will help!



I had to visit one of my favorite places,to buy this product! You guessed it... Sam's Club.




While shopping at Sam's Club, my son had to visit their "snack shack" to get a treat. He loves their Icees and Pretzels. This is one of his favorite things about going to Sam's Club besides trying all the samples, which I like too and looking around at their great products.


Onto, better health! I will be trying Members Mark 4X Probiotic Digestive Care Supplements. In approximately 2 weeks, I will give you my thoughts. I have never tried anything like this before so I am curious to see what it does and/or how it makes me feel.


What are Probiotics?

Simply put, probiotics are bacteria that help maintain a healthy digestive system. Probiotics contribute to a healthy microflora and support immune system function.


About Member´s Mark 4X Probiotic:
This product contains 4 strains of natural beneficial bacteria: Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum. When taken daily, this product will help support and maintain a healthy digestive system.

Age,bad diet, stress and other lifestyles can cause pain in your stomach and not be good for your immune system(at least that's what I've been told), so I am hoping that taking this product might help me to be more regular and avoid stomach discomfort.


Compare!!! I have never tried either product, but this is what it says.

Stay tuned for my review!
