Holiday Fun

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

I love to play games, and I think my love of games has rubbed off on my children.  I’ll play any board game against anyone.  I personally love Monopoly, but in 12 years, my husband has only one a few times (so for some reason, he doesn’t want to play with me anymore).  However, this year, I think our game playing will be on our Wii.  We are having Christmas at my house, and we are the only one with a Wii.  Besides some Wii games, I think we will be playing War and Go Fish, since Madison is four and that is about all she knows how to play.

What games do you play on playing over the holidays?

Shop.com

Friday, November 21st, 2008

I have found my new favorite place to shop online.  Why do you ask?  I just found the best deal ever on a Leapster 2 by using Shop.com.  Now, Leapster 2s on their own run around $79.99, so when I saw this one, I got super excited.  See, this one with a game is $79.99!  This gets even better too!  If you look closely at the Leapster, it is Star Wars!  Now, Madison is a Star Wars freak, so I can only imagine how excited she would be to see this under the Christmas tree from Santa!  I am excited, and this isn’t even for me.  Also, because it black, this can easily be passed down from Madison to Will.  I don’t have to worry about hearing that it’s a girl color!  (Yes, I am thinking that far ahead).

Now, Shop.com has over 2,000 stores, so you can definitely find something for everyone there.  You can type just about anything in the search engine on there, and it’ll pull it up.  You will see all the stores that carry that item plus how much each one wants for it.  I also love that purchases can be made using one universal “shopping cart” to buy everything at one time or by clicking over to participating merchants’ sites.  You can easily get all your Christmas shopping done at one site and know you are getting the best price!  I love that this takes some of the time and stress off me.  I love that I found her present, and I was just browsing through the toys! Shop.com also has expert advice, shopping tips, and articles.  My only complaint is that you can’t search through the toys by age (which is important when you have an 18 month old, since he still sticks everything in his mouth).

If you want a one stop shop for your Christmas shopping this year, Shop.com should be it.  See you there, because I am going to do some more shopping!

What’s your favorite gameshow?

Friday, November 21st, 2008

For me, this is an easy question.  I am a Jeopardy fan especially when it is teen week (which is about the only time I know a good number of answers).  For me, I choose Jeopardy for several reason.  First, it makes you use your brain.  On that show, being smart is a good thing.  You don’t see people having to do stupid stunts to be able to make money.  I also have a family connection to it.  As a kid, we actually played this as a family.  My mom would keep score, and we would see who did the best every day.  It’s those kinds of memories that make me love the show even more.  My kids are too little to watch Jeopardy, but I hope when they get older that I can play against them too.

Now, I am a Press Your Luck fan too.  Who can resist the Whammy guys?

What’s your favorite game show and why?

Football Sunday

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Bill has been gone to the Chicago Bears game all day.  The final score was 48-41, so needless to say, it really was a fun, interesting, nailbiting game.  He’s on his way home right now ( I just called him), and they are still stuck in traffic!  Right now, I am watching the Green Bay Packers while I am waiting.  Being from Green Bay, I love when I am able to watch both games!  Trust me, a Packer fan living in Chicago gets a lot of flack.  Right now, (crossing my fingers and hoping I don’t jinx them), the Packers are winning 27 – 7 against the Indianapolis, and they are looking pretty good.  Yes, even when the hubby isn’t home I watch football.

Ohhh while I was writing this, Packers intercepted and the score is 34 – 7.  Wooohooooo!  Go Pack Go!
