I’ve been reading the buzz about Wii Fit which is set to be released in the US in early 2008. (It is already popular in Japan.) This looks cool. It comes with a wireless balance board that you stand on while doing exercises like yoga and aerobics. The board works by [...]

Oh boy, I knew this was coming. Time to unwrap the workout dvd given to me for Christmas. Time for damage control…

This is officially my favorite Christmas gift. It is a gift from my parents. My mom shares my enthusiasm for kitchen gadgets so when I suggested an electric tea kettle for Christmas, I knew that I would not be disappointed. Warm drinks are a necessity in my home for driving away wintertime [...]

This Christmas Megan is all about Barbie Island Princess. This morning Paul came up with his own Barbie concept called “Barbie Dumb Princess”.

Today started out with Paul throwing up (Merry Christmas, mom!) but I suppose after that he felt better and the rest of the day was free from any sort of illness. Today has been a quiet sort of day. We always spend Christmas at home with just the four of us and we [...]

For the fourth year in a row I have not been able to sit through an entire Christmas Eve service. This despite the excellent service featuring MainStreet followed by worship. The culprit…my son. Every year he finds a way to be distracting enough to leave the service. At least I wasn’t [...]
