When my family goes on vacation, we chose very carefully the type of accommodation that we stay in. If we are just going for a day or two, we usually opt for a hotel, but if we are staying longer than just a few days, we start looking at vacation rentals. They give all the comforts of home and that’s important when you are traveling with the family. In fact, the total cost of travel is less with a vacation rental than it is with a hotel.
We are still learning more about vacation travel, but vacation rentals is one idea that has saved us money time and again. With the economy the way it is, we can enjoy a vacation and still keep expenses down.
I am reminded often that I didn’t buy my wife a Diamond ring for our engagement. In fact, I never even looked at diamond rings. 7 years on in our marriage, I’ve come to learn that it wasn’t the best decision I could make.
Now that we are doing better financially, my wife is once again asking me to get her a diamond ring and I think I will bite the bullet and get her one for Christmas. I am doing a lot of research on the net trying to find out more information on Diamond rings, including carat sizes. I never knew there was so much to know.
I love contests and they are often fun to enter. It’s usually not the winning that is as important as just entering the contest. I especially like cute baby or cute pet contests.

I have been losing weight over the last year. It’s awesome. I have done it with a combination of diet and exercise. I think it’s the most effective way to lose weight. The side benefit is that I am in better shape than I have been in years. It feels great to be in better shape then I was in my 20’s. It’s truly liberating.
Of course, I always love discovering new ways to diet and new ways to exercise. I am amazed by what I saw when I looked into XFLOWSION. It is an awesome way to exercise and get into shape.
It works by triple action. It’s a program that helps you stretch, sculpt and sweat your way into shape by utilizing three popular forms of exercise, martial arts, dance, and power yoga. Just looking at their site, you can see just how effective the workout program is. The training is led by celebrity fitness trainer Eric Paskel. It’s same kind of workout that gets the stars into shape. It’s really awesome and something that really fits with my exercise goals.
In fact, it’s not much different to the exercises that I utilized when I lost a lot of weight. The only difference is that it’s packaged into a great, easy to follow exercise program. When you order their program, you get 4 workouts on DVD, 2 guide books, and 2 audio CDs so you can take the workout with you. If you want a great way to workout, check out XFLOWSION.
I like Disney movies, characters, songs, the whole 9 yards. Maybe it’s because my kids like it and are at the age where they really enjoy it, or maybe it’s just that I am still a kid at heart. Over the last couple of years, I have become a bit of an expert on Disney. I decided to compile a list of 15 favorite Disney characters from any Walt Disney movie. Here they are:
1. Herbie
2. Lightning McQueen
3. Mater
4. Doc Hudson
5. George of the Jungle
6. Cinderella
7. Snow White
8. Sleepy
9. Dopey
10. Mickey Mouse
11. Alladin
12. Simba
13. Donald Duck
14. Goofy
15. Bambi
Ok that’s a great list, but we can make it better. Can you leave me your favorite five in the comments?
Ok, so why am I talking about Disney characters today? Well, first I am being nostalgic, but I am also excited because I discovered a new game to help teach my kids numbers. It’s really great because we try to play bingo as a family, but this version is called ScreenLife Game Disney Bingo DVD.
It’s a Bingo game played with the tv. Give the whole family bingo cards and then have each one of us try to fill out the pattern given using numbers called out by Disney characters. Yep, some of those same Disney characters I mentioned above will be playing bingo with the kids. Disney Bingo is a great way for the kids to stay involved while learning.
Best of all, the game can be bought right online at Amazon.com or Drugstore.com, among many other outlets. It’s a great game for Family Home Evening. Just take a look at it:
