One of the things that has been difficult for us to do the last couple of years is take a vacation...especially since my daughter was born. Money has been tight and gas prices have been crazy. However, all of that may end up changing since I've been reviewing RedWeek.com. RedWeek is a website that people can use to find affordable timeshare rentals or list their own. You contact the owner directly, so you are getting a better price. RedWeek has listings for just about anyplace you can come up with. They are a great bargains since you can get multiple rooms for your kids. Many also have kitchens so you can cook a dinner instead of eating out. There are also tons of activities to do since many timeshares are attached to resorts. I'm fairly familiar with renting condos for vacations since my family has been doing it for years. So, I started my search by looking for timeshares at my favorite place: South Padre Island, Texas. Six different place come up, a few of which I ...

Product Review – The World’s Most Beautiful Places Blu-ray
I was recently sent a few copies of one of the Living Landscapes HD Collection from HD Enviromnents. HD Environments works to bring high definition digital art in homes and public places. The disks features stunning footage from around the world set to original music from award winning composers. I was sent The World's Most Beautiful Places in both Blu-ray and DVD. It is composed of several short segments from 9 of their programs. I started out watching the Blu-ray first. Once the video began, I was absolutely shocked at the image quality. The picture was breathtaking. It felt like I was standing right there in the forest. The total length of the video is 75 minutes, but I could spend all day replaying the Costa Rica segment. You can also watch clips from the Pacific Coast, Rocky Mountain, Hawaii, Olympic Rainforest, Bali, and more. The DVD copy doesn't quite have the clarity of the Blu-ray, but it still looks almost as good. Overall, I was very impressed. They are great ...
Adding Fiber to Your Diet with Kellogg’s FiberPlus Cereal
As a stay at home mom, I'm constantly busy. I spend a better part of my day chasing a toddler around the house, and can never seem to get caught up on laundry and other housework. One of the major things that has gotten away from me is my diet. I ate very well during my pregnancy, but it completely fell apart after I had my daughter. For quite a while I was almost always skipping breakfast, eating junk food with lunch, and then eating way too much at dinner. Now that my daughter is starting to get a little older, I've been determined to set a better eating example for her...so I'm working on going back to my pregnancy diet. A good balanced diet consists of many things. You need to be taking in good amounts of calcium, protein, iron, and fiber. I've been working on limiting my portions and counting the amount of carbs that I'm taking in. I have done okay so far, but I haven't been getting anywhere near enough fiber. Fiber is important in your diet since it can help lower the risk ...

Product Review — ArtisticLetters
I recently got to try out a letter pack from ArtisticLetters. ArtisticLetters was created by Jodi Gerber, who created the letters by taking photos of objects in nature that resembled the letters of the alphabet. The letters can be used for a number of projects, including decorations, cards, and scrap booking. For my project, I decided to make a door sign for Hannah's room. I bought a wood plaque at WalMart for 94¢ and painted it a light blue color. I then went through the collection of letters to pick out which ones I wanted to use. I also picked out a picture of a heart, which can also be used as an 'o', as well. I then placed them in a blank word document and arranged them how I wanted. It took me a few tries to get the size right and I adjusted the contrast a little. Once they were ready, I printed them out. Next, I cut out the letters and heart, and arranged them on the plaque. Then I used a glue stick to fix them in place. It was faster to make the ...
Product Review – Green Tea Plus
After having such a great experience with the Postnatal Vitamins from Delta Labs, I decided to try out their Green Tea Plus natural weight loss supplement. It's a 100% herbal formula designed to boost your metabolism. You take two pills a day, preferably during meals. Like the Postnatal Vitamins, I noticed an immediate effect. I took a pill just before eating breakfast, and it didn't take very long before I got full. I remained full for most of the day, only getting hungry again once it was getting close to dinner. The first two days, I tried to take both pills...one before breakfast and one before lunch. However, I'm a bit sensitive to caffeine and it made me kind of jittery, so I cut down to one pills with breakfast and was fine. Overall, I'm very impressed with this green tea supplement. It works extremely well and really does kill your appetite. Like the Postnatal Vitamins, a bottle costs $39.95 (plus shipping). For more information on Green Tea + for Natural Weight Loss, visit ...
