Colossal Christmas Countdown:

44 Days Until Christmas!

As a full-time blogger, I am on my computer...a LOT!  Probably more than I realize or even want to admit sometimes.  Unfortunately, my diligence on the computer has come with one major downfall.  I have some serious pain in my shoulder and neck area pretty much constantly.  This all began about six months ago, curiously enough about the same time that I started blogging.  It took me a while, but I finally put two and two together.

My shoulder and neck pain are actually being caused by the continuous use of my computer mouse, since it is only occurring on my right side.  I knew I had to do something because this pain is starting to affect other areas of my life and changing what I can and cannot do.  Thankfully, Smartfish Technologies gave me the opportunity to review their ErgoMotion Laser Mouse, a new take on the classic ergonomic mouse.  Keep reading to find out whether or not it worked for me!

As my husband and I grow older, we have become increasingly concerned with what we put in our bodies.  Now that we have become parents, we really tend to watch what kinds of food we eat and actually scrutinize the ingredients of those foods we choose to give to Riley.  The one thing that I've become aware of since reading food labels more carefully, is that good foods are hard to find.

It seems that most every product on our grocery store shelves has some variation of preservatives, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweetener in them.  Thank goodness for Barbara's Bakery, a company that believes in giving it to you all natural!  Recently, I was asked to review the "Gift Box of NO" from Barbara's Bakery and I was thrilled to say "YES!"

Disclosure: I received a chance at a gift card from One2One Network for posting this information.

If there's one thing I take extremely seriously, it's my daughter's health and well-being.  I want her to eat right and get plenty of exercise so she will grow up happy and healthy.  Kids have so much fun running, jumping and playing, that they usually get their daily exercise in by just having FUN!  (I wish I could say the same thing, but unfortunately, my workout videos don't exactly put a smile on my face!)

Aqua Leisure is a company that has such a wide variety of family-oriented and kid-friendly products that when they offered me the chance to review the First Fitness 18-Inch Hop Ball, I just couldn't say no.  Keep reading to find out more about this fun exercise toy.
