Wildlife Sanctuary
On last Saturday, we took the kids to one of my favorite places in Green Bay: The Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s cheap (bags of corn are $1) and we can spend 1-2 hours there! The kids love it too! The geese are so tame that they will actually eat out of your hand. Here are some of the pictures we took:

Amazon, You Rock!
Amazon, I’d still totally make out with you. Seriously. If you are a regular reader here, you may remember a post I wrote last year about Frustration Free Packaging. Basically, they got rid of the annoying clamshells and twisty ties, and all you have to do is open a box. Brilliant, isn’t it? I thought so and wrote a post about it. That lead to an interview with the New York Times. That was pretty cool but not as cool as what I woke up to this morning.
That’s me!!!!! So welcome new traffic!!!! And well, I am super excited. I think I need to write more posts about making out with my favorite companies (Hello Best Buy! Hello Toy Companies! LOL).
In all seriousness, I love Amazon. I order from them a lot (umm like last week) and I still think this is a genius idea. I love that they are watching what their customers are saying about them and that they linked to me! Happy Monday!

The Power Of Parents
As parents, we have a lot of power. We teach our kids right from wrong from the time they are little to the time they reach adulthood. MADD agrees with this and has created a great website about talking with our kids called The Power Of Parents. We teach our kids about not sticking things in light sockets, but for some reason, a lot of paretns don’t talk to their kids about underage drinking and drunk driving. I’ll be honest — I really think as parents we have to show our kids how we want them to act. Bill and I do not drive drunk. Ever. We decide at the beginning of the night who is driving and that person does not drink. I certainly hope that this shows my kids a good example.
Did you know that last year, 11,773 people were killed because of drunk driving? Scary isn’t it? Could you live with yourself if you killed someone? Could you live with yourself if your child killed someone due to drunk driving? The Power Of Parents has some great ways to start that conversation. You can also find them on their own blog, twitter, and Facebook. What are you waiting for? Start that conversation with your kids!
