live naturally go naked

haha what a funny title. this post actually has nothing to do with being naked.

 

parent bloggers network and sc johnson have teamed up to promote natures source cleaner.

we have begun to live more naturally in many ways. my husband is a scientist and very much believes in global warming and that we are running out of energy resources. so we have begun trying to go green.

we are starting to recycle our old clothing and make them into new clothes or rags. We also donate to shelters or good will. we don’t want them to end up in a landfill taking up space and causing clutter. plus if they are perfectly good why are they in the garbage.

we have introduced mr sunshine into our house. we use very little lighting during the day try to open the blinds, instead of wasting energy. we also have been letting fresh air in the house. we have made a vow to not use air conditioning this summer. using fans and the swimming pool as a alternative.

we have also begun to use greener products such as soaps that are phosphate free, and concentrated. we try to use smaller bottles to avoid wasting plastics.   or just use good ol mr. water to clean things.

living naturally has been very efficient, cost effective and most important is helping our planet. i will continue to do the samethings as long as i can.

love your veggies game

hidden valley ranch has started a website gaered towards kids, it has games and great information for getting kids to eat their veggies. the game section is what i will be talking about.

getting your kids to eat their veggies can be tuff, love your veggies has great ways to introduce veggies to your kids.  i know my kids won’t touch any veggie but corn and potatos. i usually have to like blend them in their food to get them to eat them.

love your veggies game site, lets kids have fun with their veggies. i played the game general store. it was alot of fun. it’s divided into three sections.

growing your veggies-you spray water on bugs and animals to keep them off your veggies while they grow.   when i played i did pretty good with this aprt and saved all 78 veggies

moving your veggies.-you need to drive your veggies to the kitchen from the farm without spilling any. there are bumps, animals and rocks along the way.

the kitchen-you need to feed all the hungry tummies with your healthy snacks.

the game was fun and made me want to go plant my own garden. at the same time, i found it a little confusing. i don’t know if my computer was slow or the game, but it seemed to take forever for the truck to move. i could never get past level two. so i never able to feed the tummies.

i do believe that this game is very useful towards children my daughter was very excited and wanted to know more about planting her own garden and different types of veggies.

my daughter loved it, and wanted to try it at home. she got a carrot and put it in her toy truck. ha!

thanks to mom central for this post

ballas hough band

 

Ballas Hough Band consists of Mark ballas and Derek Hough,both from dancing with the stars (vocals and guitar),Emily Grace on vocals and keyboard, Harry Sullivan on drums, and Sam Marder on bass.

the band was formed in 2005 in London and was called chasing amy, they came  to the us in 2008 and were signed by Hollywood records.

i don’t typically watch dancing with the stars. i’m not really into reality television. but dwts has been on for a while and i never knew they were in a band, and they are great.  usually when you see a professional ballroom dancer, you think to yourself, that’s their talent. these guys offer so much more they can sing too!

Tracks from the album:

1.DO YOU LOVE ME

2. DEVASTATED

3.CLOSER

4.SHE WAS THE ONE

5.LONGING FOR

6.BIRTHDAY

7.FALL

8. DO IT FOR YOU

9.BREAK THROUGH

10. TOGETHER FARAWAY

11.UNDERWATER

my favorite song from the cd was DO IT FOR YOU. it’s got kind of a pop/rock edge to it.  my kids automatically began dancing to it and trying to sing.  

their music was actually better than i thought it would be. i was expecting like calm slow classical music or something. thats what i would imagine from ballroom dancers. no it’s the exact opposite. it’s upbeat, got a rock pop edge to it. It’s really great.

you can buy the cd here

i’ve reached 400 posts

this is actually 401. i never imagined, i’ve only been blogging for a year.

i’m glad that i have been able to be part of the blogosphere, even though i still don’t have a lot of page hits or visits. but i’ve learned that sometimes how many visitors you get are not everything. it mat bring more pr reps to you, and give you better product reviews. i think it’s just the fact that you are a good writer and trying to share your thoughts and opinions.
