Workout, Wii Style

Note: If you haven't noticed already, I'm on a fitness kick ;-)
To my husband's surprise, about 3 weeks before Christmas, I decided I wanted a Nintendo Wii. He was shocked, as were others who pretty much know I'm not really into video games. Nevertheless, once I played a few rounds of Wii Sports on a whim one day, I was hooked.

While attempting to surprise me with a Wii for Christmas, my husband quickly found that it was one of the hottest and hardest gifts to find. Just when it seemed all hope was gone, he was able to "strategically" secure one, and not for a trumped up eBay price, but for it's retail $250 price tag. (Yea Babe!)

Wii Sports, the game collection that comes with the console, is great because you can bowl, play golf, tennis and baseball, even box. It's lots of fun, it's interactive and it raises your heart-rate ... hence, a good source of exercise! So, I was not too surprised when I heard Wii Fit would be hitting North America soon. Already a huge hit in Japan, Wii Fit is on it's way ... probably early Spring 2008. You can even pre-order if you like.

Another fun way to focus on bettering your health.

scam (skām): A fraudulent business scheme

Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam! I happen to know that international cashier's checks are not fully validated for 90 days. So even though the check may clear at first, if found to be phony, the money is later deducted. I must say, i

"Farm Sweet Farm" 1st Birthday Party

My husband and I celebrated our baby twins, Jonah & Gia's, 1st birthday with a "Farm Sweet Farm" party last weekend.  The party was held at our home (aka The Anderson Farm ) and our closest family and friends excitedly attended.  Honestly it's still difficult for us to believe a full year has gone by since they entered our lives, but one thing was clear from the beginning --- we had a lot to celebrate and we intended to do just that! Everyone had loads of fun; they would've partied until the cows came home if we let them.  And since the guests of honor LOVE animals, the theme proved to be absolutely perfect for them and their guests.  To most, I'm known for planning amazing weddings and bridal celebrations by means of THE BRIDAL PARTY , so it was really a lot of fun to step outside of my comfort zone and show off my versatility and range.  I can't deny, this was FUN!  I'm still quite "giddy" about it all. * * * * * * * * * * INVITA

Surprisingly I'm not ashamed to admit how much I adore shopping at HomeGoods (known for being packed with an ever-changing array of one-of-a-kind, and unexpectedly incredible finds from all over the world).
