Do Life Right

Is Webkinz turning our gardens into secret gardens? When we logged in today to take care of our plants, we discovered that our gardens were missing! After many failed attempts, we weren’t able to even get to my youngest daughter’s garden to check it out… We had to make up a [...]

My younger daughter made a Webkinz Balloon Room. We just finished it last week. You can’t have a pet walk though it, but isn’t it lovely? Her Love Frog, Sweetheart, is in the picture.

Part of bridging to a new level in Girl Scouts is helping to plan (or completely planning) a ceremony. My daughter, in preparation of bridging from Junior Girl Scouts to Cadette Girl Scouts decided to plan our ceremony last month (she doesn’t actually bridge until May). She, with my husband’s and my help, [...]

Wow! My Mom sent me a few packs of the new Webkinz Trading Cards Series 2. I opened the packs and found that I was a very lucky recipient of a free mystery pet. The exciting (and scary) part is that I had to name the pet without knowing what the pet [...]

I hear women, in particular, say there is no time for themselves. No time for pleasure or creativity. No time [...]

My immediate family and I are not sports fans. Never have been and probably never will be. While we can appreciate other people enjoying sports, we don’t. [We've encouraged the kids to be sports fans, so they wouldn't be influenced by us, but they wouldn't have any of it. They know [...]

I love Webkinz. I really and truly do. I think it is the best virtual world available today. It appeals to children and adults alike and it is fun (although it is only being marketing to children). My kids and I have gotten a lot out of playing on the Webkinz [...]

It’s Christmas Eve and the stockings are all hung on the DVD-case (hey, we’re modern Americans!) with care and we’re diligently following St. Nick on Norad’s website.
We spent the evening playing our favorite board games, admiring our tree, and just enjoying each other’s company. There are no better memories made than the times we [...]
