The Biggest Loser: Season 8 - Yeah!!!
I have a vice ... it's The Biggest Loser and I can't help but watching it. I rarely watch TV mostly because it's always on The Backyardigans or Sponge Bob but when I'm not watching a dreamy movie about Robert Redford (yes, he's old enough to be my father), I love Jillian Michaels. Luckily, they threw Bob in as our eye candy but they put Jillian in as the woman you love to hate.
I had to record it last night as it's a ritual with my oldest daughter and I to watch it together. We were just watching it and after tearing up over the tragic story of Abby's loss of her two children and husband in a car crash, we were amused by Jillian's antics. I always get motivated and inspired over Jillian's way to produce results. Love her or hate her, she's always the winner at the end.
You have to look deeper into how Jillian works with the contestants and understand it's not about her being hard core and mean, she really knows how to tap into the minds of these people and how to get them to respond. If you read her book and understand more about her, she's been there so she knows what it's like to be overweight.
Okay, so not everyone can respond to her manner but overall, she's got it going on!
I just read she has a new Wii game coming out and I can't wait to see it! She'll be rolling it out to some mommy bloggers in NYC. Too bad I don't live there any longer...
Given season 8 is now on, why not commit to my virtual fitness challenge as well as sign up to win my giveaway for one Wii fitness game?
What do you have to lose????
WAT-AHH Review & Back to School Giveaway WINNER!
CONGRATULATIONS TO KPEASE!
WINNER OF THE WAT-AHH GIVEAWAY!
UPDATE:
Get WAT-AAH! at Amazon at a new lower price click here:
Did you know that kids that drink water before a test can improve test scores? According to a University of East London, kids who drank water performed significantly better.
A relatively new drink option for health conscious mothers first launched in NY in June of 2008. This new product is called WAT-AHH! and it's created as the first 100% sugar-free, functional beverage designed for kids with bottles designed by kids.
The Pro's:
- They have a variety of products ranging from Brain, Bones, Body and Energy. If this sounds a little weird to you, as a mother of an epileptic child, I know how important electrolytes are relative to what the medications do to a child.
- They contain no sugar, artificial flavoring or colors.
- BPA free bottles.
- Cool kid oriented designs that might draw kids to them.
- Can purchase it from over 250 stores to include WAT-AAH! 12 packs
Amazon (which has more good reviews).
Marketing campaign embraces a call to children's health.
Con:
- A little more expensive than traditional water which for me, wasn't too much of a problem as anything that helps my *daughter's epilepsy is worth it.
The four types of available water are:
- The Brain drink provides those electrolytes without the sugar that other products provide.
- The Bone drink provides bone building magnesium on top of 100% no sugar.
- Body is the organic person's dream as it has no sodium, no chemicals and again, no sugar.
- Energy has energizing oxygen with no sugar.
After researching more about WAT-AAH! water, I found that it was named one of the best products for kids in 2009 by Trend Hunter magazine.
I was given the opportunity to review this product because of my membership at The Product Review Place. My daughter said she "loves this water!" She normally drinks Smart Water but has grown tired of it and has turned back to wanting Coke. This renewed interest in WAT-AAH! is a welcome treat!When she initially saw the bottle design, it really peaked her interest and she immediately asked what it was. I heard my oldest yell out she heard me after I had to say it the way it looks "WAT-AAH!" to make her laugh.
The bottle designs are appealing to kids since it has a cartoon yelling boy on the label. The bottles are also thinner making it easier for small hands to hold. I tried it and liked the taste and I'm a picky water drinker.
I was curious as to how she would react if she saw me drinking some later and her reaction was to put her other drink down and ask for the bottle I had. The Energy type is just as good as the Brain type.
For me, anything to encourage less sugary, artificial drinks and a return to natural water is good for me!
The giveaway:
A WAT-AAH! Backpack filled with fun back-to-school goodies (pencils, erasers, stickers etc...) along with WAT-AAH! samples as well!
To enter:
- Enter a comment on what you learned from WAT-AAH after reviewing their site.
Contest ends September 15, 2009 and winner is chosen by random.org.
*NOTE: WAT-AAH makes no claims to helping with epileptic conditions as those are my own observations made after giving my child beverages with electrolytes in them and noticing an improvement.

Excellent Resources for your Kindergartner
I was a first time mom back in the late 80's so that brought kindergarten into my life around 1995 and it was everything that I recalled. It was a place to learn your ABC's, tie your shoe and write your name. I had no idea that what happened in 1995 to 2008 was a cross over to prepare for med school. Well, not really but times sure did change! Even though with my first child, I did have her counting to 100, writing her full name, already knew how to tie her shoe and so forth, I didn't place as much emphasis on my six year old which I regretted. Due to her diagnosed condition in June of 08, Benign Rolandic Epilepsy, I was just coming to terms of the condition and the new pulmonary condition the then one year old was diagnosed with within two week's of each other. Consequently, that summer was spend shuttling between various military and civilian doctors trying to determine the exact diagnosis, the correct medication and learning to live with two chronic medical conditions. I had no time to even think about school besides, that was their job right? Wrong!
After spending the year struggling with the medications and the correct dosing, first time separation from her mom and memory issues, she did well but wasn't up to par as most children attend daycare and preschool if not both now. Needless to say, they requested she repeat kindergarten to counter her immaturity and inability to stay on top of things whether it was due to the condition or the medication or both.
As a concerned parent, I bought numerous items to help reinforce the subjects she needed to learn and spent countless hours to bring her up to speed. One way that I found to keep her motivation up was to purchase a white board. The white board was customized per month and for doing her homework, she received one star. If she did extra work, she received another star and for anything additional such as chores, she received yet another star. On Fridays, after school, she was able to cash in her stars for a toy at Target. Sometimes it was $5 and sometimes it was up to $20. It was a great incentive to keep her on track with homework completion.
I also bought her all the various workbooks to spend extra time with. Those were fun for her as it was a challenge to complete them and provide them to her "mom teacher." I purchased Hooked on Phonics and even though it looked like a great program, it was too much for her to handle. She liked it but could only handle it for a little while at a time.
One of the better purchases were the little books full of sight words. Those were fun for her to read because she was able to read them. It inspired her so much she wrote her own book that was published. The key to her motivation is to tap into her creative side.
Need some extra resources for your little one?
This site has excellent samples to print all in themes. http://www.lovetowatch.com/http://www.lovetwoteach.com/FREEBIES.htmhttp://www.lovetwoteach.com/FREEBIES.htm breaks it down to nice packages of motivational learning.

http://first-school.ws/preschool/printable-activities/index.htm has more great resources to print.
Counting money was another task she found difficult and with the new sizes of quarters, it's hard to teach. This is a good resource for helping with counting and identification: http://www.moneyinstructor.com/inp/inpcoinamtmatch.asp
This site has math problems and more: http://www.primarygames.com/math.htm
As I noted in an earlier post, Post It Notes has all the sight words in print form. It's a great, fun way to learn since you can put them anywhere for quick practice!
Take a Vet to School Day & History.com Resources
They include a guide in Spanish, oral history guides, African Americans in WWII and much more. Not sure if my daughter's school is participating so I just e-mailed the PTO President to find out.
Within the sample lesson plans is a letter written by a Civil War soldier to his mother. Below is an excerpt of a letter written in 1862 by Union soldier Tilton C. Reynolds to his mother. Reynolds had enlisted as a seventeen-year-old six months earlier, and would serve until the end of the war, despite spending several months in a Confederate jail, a result of being captured a month after writing this letter. Though light and humorous in tone, there seems to be an underlying angst in the words of this young soldier as he prepares to confront a growing Civil War.
Camp near Yorktown, April 16, 1862
Dear Mother
I am going to write a few lines to tell you about a little fun we had about Col Corbet our Lieut Col. When the Regt went out on Picket he was going round to see where the Picket Posts was when he came to the Rebel Picket lines. It being after night he had missed our lines & got too far off. He rode up & asked what Regiment that was & One of them told him It was the 24th Virginia. This Scared Col Corbet Considerable & he turned his horse the other way & Started for the Picket lines of Co. C who was Posted first. The Rebels fired at him Several times but did not hit him. He jumped off his horse when he come to the Co & told them to hold his horse & he took down though the woods toward Camp Double Quick. This is the Story I heard I expect they made It a little worse than It was but he was Badly Scared that I know.
There was a little Scirmish to day that our Artillery had with the Rebels. They killed one of our men & Shot the legs of an other below the knees. I guess the[y] made the Rebels git though. They are trying to Drive them out of their little Batteries & I guess they are doing It. The Adjt & Uncle John is well. I was up to the Adjts office a little while ago he is going to write tomorrow. But I must close this for I have nothing to write about. The mail goes out in the morning. We have no drill any more Excep a little Bayonet Exercise & that is easy work. I am going to draw a new pair of Pants in a few days. Mine is pretty good yet but they are a little too Small & as we are Entitled to new ones I thought I might as well get them. But now I must close. Give my love to all & except my Sincere love for yourself and believe me to be your affectionate Son.

It's in an aloha theme so the flowers in the background glisten differently from the rest of the card providing an extra quality in the printing. Since we used to live in Hawaii, sending the Aloha version was a plus as I'm partial!

- Photo birth invitations
- Baby shower invitations
- Christening invitations
- Save the Date cards
- Bridal shower invitations
- Holiday photo cards

All cards are printed on 100 lb cardstock with their unique matte finish and have envelopes included. They are color corrected and adjusted by a professional artist before printing. How many times have you ordered a personalized photo product to only be disappointed due to the quality? That extra feature will ensure you are getting a high quality product every time you order.
They have a 100% gurantee and as a bonus, they donate a portion of proceeds to charity.
