Let's face it...our dependency on computers is directly associated to our country's rapidly declining physical fitness.  Computers have quickly wedged their way into every facet of our lives.  Now, we don't just use them for work anymore, they are also used for socializing, entertaining, informing and communicating in our everyday lives as well.

Necessity is truly the mother of invention though, for SURFSHELF, LLC has found a way to mesh our computers with our workout routine, so that we can now exercise AND surf the net at the same time.  This is multitasking at a whole new level and it could definitely help us incorporate exercise back into our lives again.  Allow me to introduce the SurfShelf Treadmill Desk and Laptop Holder!

As you may know, I am in the throes of a major battle of the bulge...and I'm losing!  Since weaning Riley, I've never had such a hard time losing weight in all my life.  I've tried numerous exercise videos and workouts, but sadly enough, I never seem to stick with any one routine for long.

That's why I was very excited to have the chance to review the Mitch Gaylord workout system entitled, "Melt It OFF With Mitch!".  Keep reading to find out how this exercise system worked for me.

As a stay-at-home mom, I love the fact that my "work uniform" consists of everything COMFORTABLE!  Now that I'm no longer teaching, I don't have to wear those stuffy dress shirts and slacks, dresses, pantyhose, high heels and the like.  Unfortunately though, my new dressed-down look is also pretty lackluster and frumpy!

What I'd really love to find is a great place for a casual wardrobe which is comfortable, looks terrific, and can still keep up with all of my moving and shaking throughout the day.  I guess prAna heard my wish, for when they asked me to review two pieces from their Yoga Essentials Collection, I just couldn't refuse!  Keep reading to learn more about my experiences with prAna.

I'll be the first to admit that my figure could use a little shaping up these days.  After weaning Riley from breastfeeding, I just can't seem to lose these last 15 pounds, which would get me back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I've never worn much shapewear in the past, but now I find it almost essential to hide the invariable rolls, lumps and bulges that appear here and there in my clothing.

What could be better than wearing shapewear which makes you look fabulous AND actually is considered a workout?  This ingenious idea is the cornerstone of the ShaToBu shapewear line.  These garments are designed to be worn all day and help you burn more calories and tone your muscles too!  Of course, I HAD to find out more!

Summertime is a fun and exciting season for children.  With plenty of ice cream to eat, sprinklers to run through and bikes to ride, who wouldn't have a blast?  Unfortunately though, all of this outdoor fun can sometimes lead to tragedy.  Every year, hundreds of children die in drowning accidents in swimming pools, rivers and lakes.

Getting your children to wear their appropriate flotation devices can be a challenge since these life vests tend to hinder movement so badly and are so bulky to wear.  "Floaties" which are worn on the arms only, are actually considered toys and are not enough to truly protect your child in the water.  They can also be uncomfortable for children to wear since they tend to cause chafing of the skin around the arm area.  So what's a parent to do?

Thankfully, The Coleman Company, Inc. has created a line of children's life vests called the Puddle Jumper, which blends the best of a life jacket and arm "floaties" to create a fun, comfortable, AND SAFE alternative for your child's water safety this summer!

As any busy mom knows, finding time to work out is essential to staying healthy, but not always easy to do.  Sometimes we get too carried away with the daily task of taking care of our family and forget all about ourselves.  I am extremely guilty of this and have pledged to myself to MAKE the time to exercise.

Of course, it would really help if the exercise program I followed also had busy moms in mind and thankfully, I discovered KettleWorx.  KettleWorx is a six-week workout program that promises results by exercising for only ONE HOUR PER WEEK!  Now, that's the kind of time I can make!
