Online Education...

Lately I’ve been thinking of heading back to school. With the girls growing up, one of them already in school fulltime, and the other starting in two years, it’s time to think about myself. Where do you find the time to attend, be home for the kids, and keep up with the house? Going back to school full time can be a change, and a challenge but today there’s so many helpful solutions such as online schooling, sometimes we can see it as something we can just fit into our daily schedule.

First step is to find a credible online university, there are so many online schools out there, finding which ones are credible is the key. Earning an online University degree can be a blessing, but you do need to be sure to do your research as well, and take the time to be informed. I've unfortunately had a bad experience in the past, and have since learned from my mistakes when it comes to online education and research is defiantly the key!

Universities such as Western Governor help people both in the United States and some parts of Canada with their online education by providing a fully credible online learning experience. If you’re interested in learning more about online University education or interested in finding out more about an online mba just visit their website at www.wgu.edu.

Launch of a new infant and mom nutritional site...

Mom’s need all the help they can get, new mom’s or even seasoned veterans always have questions especially when it comes to the nutritional health of their child.

A new website has launched which will take moms through a powerful journey through infant nutrition and development. The website: infantnutritioncenter.com shows mom’s how proper nutrition shapes develops and affects the senses, bone formation and immune system of infants.

With interesting data and 3-D images this new website lets you not only explore but learn about the latest research in nutrition through videos, pictures, graphics and in depth questions.

ThevisualMD.com
brings Moms the latest information from leading health centers and researchers across the country so that we all know just how crucial nutrition is to infant development. Making sure our babies get the best possible nutrition sets the stage for better health through childhood and beyond.

The website is really cool and interesting at the same time; it’s not just a bunch of articles and reading text or message boards searching for advice or information. There are so many videos, and pictures and graphics that will keep you interested in the website while finding valuable information. My favorite thing has to be the 3-D images and great videos especially the one on the homepage which shows the progression of birth and how a child grows through the years. This would have been such a great resource for me when my children were smaller, especially as a first time mom with so many questions you might be embarrassed to ask someone or to call the doctor. You can find everything you need all in one spot, easy access.

With the information found on this new Infant Nutrition website you can find out how to make sure your newborn gets the nutrients she needs to ensure healthy growth through her 1st birthday, you can find out how to keep her stomach from getting upset. What you can do as an expectant mom to ensure that you stay healthy as your baby grows and what vitamins you need if your breastfeeding. So much great information all in one spot!

You learn so much about babies development and how important nutrition is while they’re growing and learning, all about the calories, protein and calories they need to consume and why. There's also an interactive library to help you out. Not only does the website cover infant nutrition but it also covers how important mom's nutrition and breast health is as well during these crucial times of breastfeeding.

Please visit www.thevisualmd.com for more information. You can also view the webcast of the launching by going here.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Mead Johnson. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

WWE rated PG...

I just read a very interesting article written in the Buffalo News today talking about how WWE is rated PG now and is more ‘family friendly’, this isn’t a surprise. Any wrestling fan has seen the new PG type of entertainment, and a lot of wrestling fans (me included) are venturing on to find better things, looking at indy shows and starting to steer clear of WWE programming.

Although I do find myself getting into things like TNA and venturing into ROH a lot more, know I’ll always be a WWE fan, but I can say I don’t watch it nearly as much or pay attention to it as much as I used to. I can’t deal with the ‘family friendly’ way they’ve gone. This is WRESTLING not Nickelodeon, and when I tune in yes, I do want to see vulgar stuff, I do want to see blood, I tune in to see violence and chairs and tables matches… I DO WANT TO SEE ATTITUDE!

One quote in the article that got the majority of my attention was from the chief operating officer of World Wrestling Entertainment, Donna Goldsmith she said:
"It was edgier in the attitude era. There was a little more blood, and then we realized this was not the way to go,"
I’m not sure when or how they realized that this was NOT the way to go, specifically because during the attitude era they had a ton of viewership, more fans and higher ratings than now. Sure I understand the attitude era generation are growing up, we have kids now and families, they’re trying to tune into the next generation of fans, our kids which has worked, my oldest daughter is a huge wrestling fan. BUT!!! Those attitude era fans, are still fans, and we’re the ones with the money, not the kids.

I also really had to laugh at another quote from the COO of World Wrestling Entertainment:
"Today we are PG — definitely family friendly. Our writing teams know the boundaries, and they tell really good stories."
Yet again, is she watching the same programming I've been watching lately? Where are these 'good stores' because I haven't seen any real 'good stores' lately at all, in fact I've seen some pretty crappy, boring ones, or ones that are done over again...and again...and again...

I’m sad that WWE has gone to this PG style of entertainment, it’s not as nearly exciting as it used to be, and it doesn’t get my viewership as much as it used to now either. If I miss a program or PPV oh well, no big deal, not like I missed much anyways and this isn’t just my attitude towards WWE these days either, there are a lot of fans that feel the same way and are sick of the ways WWE is heading.

WWE needs to be there and listen to their fans a lot more, tune into the blogs, the websites and even twitter, see what your ‘universe’ is really saying instead of just allowing 'moderated' comments to go on in your chats, LISTEN to the real fans and maybe those ratings will climb higher than ever, until then the decline is on.

If you want to read the article in it's entirety visit The Buffalo News.

Your Songs...

I’m pretty much a music snob (so my husband says). I tend to stick with what I know hip hop, rap, R&B and pop music. I do have to say I have one guilty pleasure that I’m going to admit right here and now….I love Harry Connick Jr.!

I just love his voice, and the slow sounds that accompany his songs. It’s almost relaxing and gives me a little ‘getaway’ when I’m listening to him sing. Recently I received his newest album Your Songs which was released in September and yet again Harry Connick Jr doesn’t disappoint.

His soulful songs and sounds, and the new renditions on songs that are already known and some that are remakes but I have never heard before were great, I think he does such a great job and connecting with those listening to him.

This album would be a great album for any of those upcoming holiday parties if you’re looking for some great background music that’s not going to overpower the party and have your guests screaming at the top of their lungs to talk.

Here’s a rundown on the songs you’ll find on his new album:
Here is the song list All The Way (Frank Sinatra)
Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
Can’t Help Falling In Love With You (Elvis Presley)
And I Love Her (The Beatles)
(They Long To Be) Close To You (The Carpenters)
Besame Mucho
The Way You Look Tonight
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack)
Your Song (Elton John)
Some Enchanted Evening
And I Love You So (Don McLean)
Who Can I Turn To? (Tony Bennett)
Smile (Charlie Chaplin)
Mona Lisa (Nat King Cole)
You can find out more information about Harry Connick Jr. by visiting his website harryconnickjr.com or becoming a fan on his Facebook page.

Listerine Oral Care Challenge Blog Tour...

You’ve all heard about my teeth issues as of late. I had to have three wisdom teeth extracted and then had an infected molar so had to have that pulled out too. I do attribute my current oral problems to my dental phobia. I had a horrible dentist as a child, and have horrible memories of him and basically when I was on my own, not forced to see a dentist, I just didn’t!

I really don’t want it to be that way for my kids, I’m striving to make sure they are not afraid and have a great experience and take care of their teeth, I would hate to have them going through what I have to go through now. That’s why I was so happy to participate in the Listerine Oral Care Challenge.

With Halloween around the corner thoughts of decay from all that candy is a fear a lot of parents have, so now is a great time to teach our children about proper brushing and flossing. To help out with the candy frenzy, Listerine and Reach created the "October Oral Care Challenge" for kids 6 and older. To complete the challenge, you and your child have to brush, floss and rinse every day, twice a day for two weeks—a key step in building a strong foundation of good oral care habits.

We started doing this with our girls and they just love brushing and flossing (thank goodness) but with the addition of the Listerine Agent Cool Blue pre-brush rinse it makes it a little more fun. They love seeing the blue tint on their teeth and then brushing to get it all off before they’re done, this helps out so much to let them know they’ve done a great job.

Our Reach Flosser’s are also a great addition as it is so much easier than using regular floss to get in between those teeth and especially those all the way in the back, plus with little hands, it’s easier for them to handle.

The girls loved the challenge, they got stickers for brushing and flossing properly and it made it a much more enjoyable experience giving them rewards and praises instead of telling them they didn’t brush long enough or didn’t do it properly.

The Reach Flossers also help me and my hubby to floss a lot easier now as well, and the Listerine Mouth Wash keeps my teeth and mouth fresh feeling! I'm really big on oral hygiene now, with the stuff I have to go through because I didn't care before, I'm on my way to a healthier smile!

You can find out more about Listerine’s October Oral care Challenge and their products by visiting listerine.com or listerinekids.com.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Listerine and Reach and received Listerine and Reach products for the Oral Care Challenge and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

WWE Raw live at Lucas County Arena in Toledo Ohio..

1, 2, and 3 it’s OVER! The final count, the hits, the finishing moves, the classic clotheslines and body slams; yes, I’m a wrestling fan and lover of both the sport and the entertainment aspect of it.

As a child in the 80’s idolizing wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Macho Man and the Million Dollar Man I eventually grew out of it until the late 90’s when I was introduced to it again with one of my all time favorite wrestlers The Rock! Ever since then I’ve been an addict and just can’t get enough. Whenever we can get our hands on some wrestling tickets, you’ll find us there.

You can read more about my review of WWE Raw live at the Lucas Country Areana in Toledo Ohio by visiting Eventchaser's HERE.

Of course I couldn't give them every photo I took, you can see a few on my review over at EventChasers and check out the rest in my slide show below.



Let me also add, I was so not impressed with the fan favorite John Cena.

I'm a woman, yes I find him very attractive, not a fan of his in the wrestling sense though, anyways when John Cena drove in with Cody Rhodes, I was right in front of the car by his window, I was screaming CENA!!! and waving, dude just looked straight ahead didn't acknowledge any of the fans at all, not even the crazy wrestling addicted mommy jumping up and down like a mad woman in front of his window.

One of the most gracious guys I've ever met, including this show....Kofi Kingston hands down. He took the time to come greet the fans and even spoke to me for a few minutes as I've worked with him in the past and we have a mutual friend, I also took that opportunity to hand him my business card, lol... Heck, I even got The Miz to chuckle with a little 'ass' joke I made to him and Chris Masters. I had a ton of fun!!!

The Obama Time Capsule

I don’t talk about politics a whole lot on my blog, but there’s no secret that me and my family are big Obama supporters. When I was told about a new type of photo book where you can add yourself to the pages of history I was right on board.

The Obama Time Capsule: World History In the Making is a unique book that captures existing photos and essays of Obama’s historic journey to the white house, and the coolest part is, now you and your family can be a part of it by adding personal pictures and thoughts to this professional, beautiful book.

Obama’s presidency is history in the making, and a giant leap to show my girls that yes, anything is possible. We have a lot of Obama memorabilia already but adding this book to our collection was a must. We were able to add our family and our girls to this great part of history. Our family photo on the back cover, our names on the front cover and a few picture’s inside of my girls and our Obama inauguration cupcakes as well as a dedication to our children and a few customized pages with our family name. The Obama Time Capsule puts you into history and makes it fun and exciting.

It’s just 3 easy steps to personalize your copy of the Obama Time Capsule, if you’ve got pictures on your computer it’s so easy just to simply upload and crop the ones you want to fit right in. I do wish the book had a few more pages of customization, but the ones we got were great. The book itself is a hard cover book with so many beautiful pictures, some which have never been seen before as well as giving you an inside look at Obama’s journey. The book spans over a two year period on Obama’s road to the White House, Election Day, the Inauguration and his first 100 days in office.

This 200 page book with over 140 photos is a must have gift this holiday season for any Obama supporter of any age, or if you just want to be a part of a piece of history.

To find out more information about The Obama Time Capsule ($34.95) you can visit theobamatimecapsule.com as well as purchase your copy of THE OBAMA TIME CAPSULE: World History in the Making on Amazon.com.

What a day......

It's been a while, I know, and I'm so sorry for slacking off. Things have been crazy around the house if you've seen my previous posts. To make it all better yesterday we had a fun day as well, walking to go get my daughter from school my ankle decided to go out on me and I hit the sidewalk HARD! I have a scraped up, bruised, bumpy knee which is killing me, as well as a very sore hard to walk on ankle.

To make a beautiful ending to the day, I had it out with my oldest daughter who threw a massive tantrum and went crazy because of her homework. I expect her to do her best when she's doing it, but scribbles and using a pencil crayon to do your homework isn't going to fly with me, so we 'reproduced' the sheet ourselves and she was up till about 10 o'clock finishing her homework..... SHE'S IN KINDERGARTEN!!!! I can't believe I'm having homework issues with her already! Hopefully nipping it in the bud early on will give her some good homework habits for the future when it really counts.

I did have one bright spot last night though, once everyone was in bed. There's another Black Friday ad out!! YAY!!! Office Max has their Black Friday Ad published over at Gottadeal.com, you can view the list and pricing here, or check out the PDF of the actual ad here. I'm overly excited about Black Friday and love when all the ads start coming out, I'm ready to SHOP TILL I DROP!!!!

Do you have any Black Friday Traditions? I don't yet I'm lucky if I can get out to shop I do most of my shopping online at the moment, hopefully as the girls get older we can have a tradition of our own. So share, what's your Black Friday tradition?

Own a piece of paradise...

Just like most women, the thought of Jewelry always makes me happy. Gems, Gold, Diamonds you name it, I’ve got it, but there is something I don’t have, and that’s a beautiful strand of pearls. That was until recently.

I opened up the mail and to my surprise was a beautiful box, perfect to hold a beautiful necklace. I opened it up, and inside was a stunning lavender freshwater pearl necklace. Who would I have to thank for this beautiful item?

I can't seem to catch a break...

I really can't! So after our Canadian Thanksgiving holiday and having family here for the weekend, my girls got sick yet again, and then I got sick, and entire week of not feeling well while having to tend to children who are also not feeling well, most of you all know how it goes. Me and the youngest are still fighting a nasty cough.

I neglected my blog and was about to go sort through my emails and get things back on track again. Had a dentist appointment Monday morning for a cleaning and was going to get started back straight away once I returned home. Well, that was my intention.

My cleaning turned into having to have another tooth taken out. You'll remember about 2 weeks ago I had to have 3 wisdom teeth taken out. Well the abscess came back and another molar had to be extracted. I also need a deep cleaning but that's now going to have to wait for a few more weeks, thank goodness I don't have to worry about something like Medicare supplement or anything, our insurance is GREAT!

So, once again I'm going to be a bit behind. I'm in a bit more pain this time since it was an infected tooth that was taken out, and I already had a panic attack this morning and went back to the dentist to make sure all is ok since I was feeling some weird bumps (as most of you know I have major dental phobia), all is well though, I was told just to keep on my meds and pain relievers and REST!

I just wanted to update on where I've been where missing blog posts are. I should be back up and at 'em in a few days!

Shoe Shopping for the perfect fit...

My girl’s feet grow like crazy, specifically my youngest! Her feet are just a few sizes away from her 6 year old sisters, and she’s only 3. I feel like I’m forever buying shoes for her, and am always on the lookout for some new, cute shoes. Since I don’t get out a lot (due to my lack of driving) I tend to shop a lot online, and for kids shoes, that can be difficult.

Being able to find the right fit of shoe while at home seems like it could be more trouble than it’s worth, but in reality, shopping online for shoes isn’t that bad. With sites that have helpful tips for finding the right fit, community help, and great styles and sizes you might wonder why you didn’t start shoe shopping from home earlier!

Finding a site like startrightshoes.com gives you the help you need when choosing shoes for your child. They also offer you the best and latest styles while giving a fit and comfort that your child’s growing feet need. Their Click’n Fit guide helps you measure your child’s feet so you’re not guessing on size once ordering. With a printer to print out the helpful sizing grid and a digital camera on hand you’ll find that perfect fit in no time, the instructions are right on the website there to help you along your way at finding that perfect shoe for your child.

Fall with FLOR....

Sometimes the smallest thing can transform a room, who would think the style of a rug could change the look of a room in mere minutes! That’s right, I said minutes! You can install great looking carpet tiles from FLOR in a very short time period, and the best thing, just about anyone can do it it’s so easy! All you do is arrange the tiles in the pattern you want, attach the adhesive FLOR dots to the corners of each tile and lay them back down, that’s it your done and your room has been transformed!

I’m a big fan of FLOR tiles, I’ve got them in multiple rooms in my home, my only real complaint is that if you’ve got some heavy furniture on them, the tiles do eventually unstick from the FLOR dots I’ve found, no biggie I just replace them with the extras on hand.

FLOR has some great new products to spruce up your décor and rooms for the fall season. Their newest products include:

All Square
All Bark and No Bite
Arachnophobia (Martha Stewart collection)
Best of Both Wools
Fez
Pop Tartin
Squared Silly

My favorite has to be the All Square tiles, which we received in purple to put in the girls newly redone room. The girls love the color and the feel of the tiles, I love the versatility and the look! FLOR never disappoints with their great styles and products.

You can view their new fall products as well as other great rugs/tiles by visiting www.flor.com.

WIN IT!!!

One lucky reader from A Wrestling Addicted Mommy will win their choice (excluding Coir and Shaggy Sheep) of a 5x7 rug/tile from FLOR.

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy goes BOO!

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! Wubbzy, Wubbzy Wow! Wow! That song can stay in my head all day after the girls have finished watching their favorite episode. They seem to love Wubbzy and I admit he is kind of cute; I even enjoy watching the episodes with my girls sometimes.

Wubbzy, Widget and Walden as well as the rest of Wuzzleburg are gearing up for Halloween with their newest episodes on the DVD called Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!: Wubbzy Goes Boo! You can watch Wubbzy and his friends learn how not to be afraid of monsters, use the Monster Masher 300, pick the perfect pumpkin, and create the spookiest Halloween costume!

Your kids will enjoy the same fun stories, singing, dancing, creativity and great lessons as when they’re watching the show on Nick Jr. / Noggin, except this time they’ve got some trick or treating to do as well!

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! Wubbzy Goes Boo! Features six great episodes:

• Wubbzy’s Magical Mess Up- When Moo Moo the Magician asks Wubbzy to watch his magical wand, Wubbzy loses control and soon monkeys, elephants and kickity-kick balls are running wild! When he returns, establishing order, Wubbzy promises to practice more before he tries any more magic.

• Tea for Three- Wubbzy decides to throw a tea party, but he doesn’t know how. Widget builds a tea-party machine, the Tea Time 3000, to make sandwiches and tea, but it malfunctions and does everything wrong. They’re afraid the Tea Party was a disaster, but Wubbzy has been having a great time, and that’s what a tea party is all about!

• Monster Madness- Wubbzy gets scared by a TV show and starts seeing monsters everywhere! Widget builds a Monster Masher to take care of any monsters, but soon she starts seeing monsters too! They rush to Walden’s house and Walden takes out his flashlight to show them that all the monsters they saw were just ordinary objects in the dark.

• The Last Leaf- Walden is collecting leaves, and he’s waiting patiently for the last leaf to fall off the Old Figgity-Fig Tree. Wubbzy and Widget would rather play in the leaf pile. When they return, they find Walden fast asleep! And here comes that last leaf! As the wind takes it away, Wubbzy and Widget are left to chase the errant leaf all over Wuzzleburg.

• The Ghost of Wuzzleburg- It’s the Halloween party at the Wubb Club, and Wubbzy builds his own scary costume out of junk and scares the party guests. While he’s hiding, he notices a ghost sheet floating all by itself. It’s a real ghost! Then the sheet falls off and we see that it was only Birdy-Bird. Birdy-Bird wins for Scariest Costume, and Wubbzy wins – for Most Scared Person!

• March of the Pumpkins- Wubbzy wants to find the biggest pumpkin, so he can be named Pumpkin King. But Walden and Widget warn him, look out for the real Pumpkin King! Before Wubbzy can get a pumpkin, the Pumpkin King catches them. Luckily he turns out to be a great guy, and he gives Wubbzy and Daizy a ride back to the Festival just in time for the Big March!

You’ll also find some great DVD extras include coloring and activity sheets and Sneak Peaks for new Wubbzy episodes! My girls can't get enough, they love 'holiday themed' dvd's of their favorite characters, and with Wubbzy he never disappoints for a great adventure!

You can purchase Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!: Wubbzy Goes Boo on amazon.com as well as other DVD retailers.

Your Shape...

I absolutely love working out with my Nintendo Wii, and with the current lineup of games that are out already and slated to come out, working out at home, on my own time is not only easy, but it’s fun as well.

On November 24th one of the newest editions to the Wii fitness craze will be available, and this is one I’m defiantly excited about! Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy is one of the first video games of it’s kind, it sets itself apart from the current games out there by using a camera peripheral which will allow you to project your own likeness to the game and play without the use of controllers. This works by scanning the body of the player, this helps tremendously when doing fitness games by allowing you to know if you have improper positioning. The camera and game will be able to correct your position which will in turn help you tone and slim ‘problem’ areas faster.

The game also features 480+ exercises as well as allows customization of your workout with the option to incorporate home fitness equipment such as free weights, exercise balls, resistance bands, etc. into your workout routine.

This is one game that’s on my holiday list! You can check out the game a bit more by viewing the hands-on video featuring Your Shape blogger Laurel House and celebrity trainer Kathy Kaehler who demoed the game last week during National Women’s Health & Fitness Day.

Magic Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?

The Disney movie that started it all!!! Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, who doesn’t know or love this movie, I have to say it’s one of my favorites, and my girls have been dying to watch it as well since they’ve never had the chance to see it yet.

Disney has opened up the vault and released Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs once again for home video release. This time though there’s a slight difference, you can now view this timeless classic in high definition Blu-Ray! If you’re like us and not one of the lucky families to own a Blu-Ray player yet, not to worry, the new Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition also includes a DVD version inside the same box, so you can view the movie now on your regular DVD player, but once you finally get that Blu-Ray player you’ve still got the movie. I think that’s one of my biggest grips with the ever changing technology. Movies you’ve bought get outdated and you have to purchase them all over again, thank you Disney for rectifying that problem, at least for the time being.

The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Diamond Edition not only includes both the DVD and Blu-Ray version of the movie but it also features:

• First time ever in High Definition 7.1 sound
• All new music video!
• Disneyview – Expanded viewing experience
• Disney Family Plan – games for everyone to enjoy
• Backstage Disney – go behind the scenes of this legendary tale
• Classic Bonus features include Dopey’s Wild Mine Ride Game, Karoke Sing A Long, and so much more

Unfamiliar with what Blu-Ray can provide for you? Well with the new Blu-Ray Diamond Edition Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs you’ll get the highest-level viewing experience possible right now! Plus immersive interactivity, an unprecedented value, quality, and versatility as well as an exceptional picture and remarkable sound that Blu-Ray offers. The best part (and this is what makes me want to get a Blu-Ray player even more this year) is that Blu-Ray Discs are SCRATCH RESISTANT and kid-proof! I can’t tell you how many DVDs we’ve had to replace because of scratches from the kiddos! Another great point, Blu-Ray also plays your old DVDs so that worry of ever changing technology is out the window!

Check Out what Disney Blu-Ray can offer to enhance your family’s entertainment.



Also, until October 20th Disney is offering a $10 off coupon for the Diamond Edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This is a great Christmas gift for all ages, so why now scoop it up now with the extra savings!
