Do Life Right

My family and I (two daughters, ages 11.5 and 7.5) have been able to play with a variety of virtual pets over the past year and we’ve compared them side-by-side. The ones we’ve tried are: Webkinz, Shining Stars, Ty Beanie Babies 2.0, My ePets, and Ty Girlz. If any other company would [...]

Are you taking a trip this summer, yet are worried about your Webkinz pets?
No worries!  They won’t “die”, even after weeks of not being cared for.  That’s the beauty of a virtual pet!  It’ll still love you even after a bit of neglect.  You shouldn’t go more than a month without taking care of it [...]

For Task 3 in our Harry Potter class Triwizard Tournament, we decided to take a slightly different approach. The actual task was a search at Agua Caliente (a local park), a riddle from a Sphinx (my older daughter played this role), a race to the Triwizard Cup, and a duel with Voldemort himself (a [...]

Our Task: Write up four riddles for the four champions in our Harry Potter class’s Tri-Wizard Tournament Task 2. [Here are links to the clue and prizes for Task 1.]
Here’s what we did and how we did it:
Task 2 had the kids (champions) diving into a local public swimming pool in order to [...]

My youngest daughter just had a Parent Trap movie fest, so I have the clever “Let’s get together” song in my head as I write this blog post. We could have a real good ti-ime.

Do you know what your words mean? Pima.
I live in Pima County, Arizona. In researching [...]

Sounds ominous, doesn’t it?
Earlier this year I stashed away the three Webkinz Lil’ Frogs (Regular Frog, Bull Frog, and Tree Frog) for myself. I decided to go ahead and adopt them today as I’d finally come up with names for them and I’d finally prepared a room for them in [...]

We’ve been getting in the habit of photographing our various Webkinz in unusual places. Here are a few recent snapshots. See our Webkinz Bengal Tiger in my recent Madera Canyon blog post.

I’m a strong believer in following interests and passions. I’ve become immersed in numerous things over the years, including photography. For a time I had my own photo studio. I enjoyed it a lot and still take many photographs (mostly of my daughters and scenery). Since my parents are visiting and my youngest daughter is [...]

We recently revisited Madera Canyon. Some of my photographs from last fall are in the post “Madera Canyon”. Here are some new pictures from a few days ago. The two girls are my daughters, the adults are my parents. “Canyon”, my older daughter’s new Webkinz Bengal Tiger, joined in on our [...]

The Easter bunny came to our house last weekend. She (my 7.5 year old is convinced the Easter bunny is a girl) hid a lot of plastic eggs, vegan candies (and even vegan chocolate Easter bunnies), super cool Webkinz figurines, and some miscellaneous little toys.
Amongst the toys were foam puzzle pieces with letters and [...]
