Ideas for an ideal U.S. Family Great Getaway!
Hey All!
I wanted to share some ideas about a great US family getaway with you. As in getaways you can go to as a family...
I love to travel even though me and my family don't get to go traveling often, we do our best to visit some place new every year. Even if we don't get on a plane or leave the state of California we figure out a way to drive our way to a new site and vacay each year. We usually make it a weekend trip and I wanted to give you some tips on how to take a fun Family getaway!
1. GO TO DISNEYLAND OR DISNEYWORLD
My family and I love going to Disneyland every year. We can drive to it here in California and it always feels like a vacation even if you're only there a day. If you have a them park near you that you can Drive to, I highly recommend them as a fun little weekend getaway for you and your family.
2.TAKE COUPONS ON Your Trip.
I've made it one of my new years resolutions to use coupons for everything I possibly can! Restaurant chains all over the country have coupons you can use to get free meals for you and your kids. Places like Dennys or Ihop that you can find every where take coupons. It helps you save money on your trips and allows you to use the money you save to do more activities on your trips.
3. Pack and lunch and Snacks if you can.
My family and I always pack a back pack and a cooler and ziploc baggies filled with lunches and snacks if I can take food with me where ever we go. Some them parks don't allow outside food so be advised. But I try to pack as much as I can so we save money and not have to pay tons of money for all of us to eat outside or on the road.
4. Hit the beach!
Spending the day at the beach is always a family fun getaway even if it's for the day! Don't forget your sunscreen of course. Beaches are free. You can relax and eat and play and enjoy the day all for free!
5. Hit the Park!
Find a new park in your state that you haven't been to. Vist the park and have some fun. Find a national park you've never been to and have a camping trip. These are always fund US vacations that you can do on the weekend for little to no money. Some national parks have days that are free. You just have to look up your states parks and look at what dates they offer free and plan your vacay!
So, those are some of my tips and suggestions for a great US getaway. I hope they help you have a great US getaway!

Denise Austin- Get Energy! Empower Your Body, Love Your Life Book REVIEW!
I'm sure you're like me with busy schedules, a demanding job, and what seems like hardly any time to spend on yourself, let alone fitness. I know many of us battle to get more time in the day just to get things done and stay awake. But energy is something that is in our control, even when time is short. Now 50 years young, fitness guru Denise Austin shows readers how to super-charge their lives, using her innovative lifestyle plan. She eats the right foods at the right time of day. She uses the power of stretching and breathing to feed her body with energy-enhancing oxygen. She uses mini-workouts to get energy even on her busiest days--and now you can too!
And in case you don't know who Denise Austin is, She is a powerhouse in the fitness industry! She's created more than 80 workout videos, written 10 fitness books, and starred in Denise Austin's Daily Workout, the longest-running exercise show in television history. But that's not all Austin is known for. Her energetic and upbeat personality has become her trademark. In her new book, Get Energy! Empower Your Body, Love Your Life, Austin lays out a lifestyle plan that will have you feeling more energetic in as little as one week.
Denise shows you how simple changes can add up to increased energy levels throughout the day. From the way foods are consumed to the way people sit in their chairs, readers won't believe how Denise's quick and easy plan will dramatically increase their energy levels. In as little as a week, results will be felt: radiant skin, more restful sleep, and a sharper mind...so follow Denise Austin and prepare for a fitness wake-up call!
This book gives you some great advice on how to get energized in a healthy way. Denise Austin will certainly change lives with this book as it's changing mine. I've been trying to incorporate her tips in my daily life and trying to get to bed earlier is the one I've been focusing on, which has been a task to do, since I always have so much to do in a day, But each day I take it one step at a time. I take a little break to relax and stretch. And it really has been a great way to get an energy booster. I will be using the tips I found in GET ENERGY! to help me when my energy levels drop!
You can find more info on Denise Austin on website, Facebook, and Twitter at the following links:
DeniseAustin.com
http://www.facebook.com/DeniseAustinOnline?ref=ts
http://twitter.com/deniseaustin_
Also, you can download her FREE iPhone App here.
I highly recommend this book if you're looking for ways to find more energy in your day. It's surely helping me find more and I'm sure it will help you too!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie's Masquerade DVD RELEASED!
Hey All!
PLEASE COME JOIN MINNIE, MICKEY AND PALS IN AN ADVENTURE THAT CELEBRATES THEMES OF FRIENDSHIP, TEAMWORK, SHARING, PROBLEM SOLVING AND DRESSING-UP.
I'm so excited to announce this amazing DVD set just in time for Valentine’s Day! Disney’s New Preschool DVD Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie's Masquerade was just released on Disney DVD on February 8 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
My Fellow Parents and if you have some adorable preschoolers in your home, you can join in the ultimate masquerade party with Minnie, Mickey, and pals in a fun-filled collection of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse latest episodes that celebrate themes of friendship, teamwork, sharing and problem solving. Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Masquerade is the perfect gift to dress-up your Valentine’s Day!
This latest release features four playful Minnie-themed adventures previously seen on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse TV show, a never-before-seen episode, and a free paper mask with festive embellishments that kids can personalize. And as a special option for consumers, Disney has packaged a version of the DVD to include the exclusive Mickey Mote – a child-friendly handheld remote control, shaped like Mickey ears, that takes children’s viewing experience to a whole new level of play.
The DVD + Mickey Mote Play Set is the ultimate value for moms and equally fun and engaging for kids! The Mickey Mote uses infrared wireless technology and may not be compatible with all devices.
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Minnie’s Masquerade starring Disney’s Fab Five -- Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Daisy – takes viewers on an all new adventure as they dress-up in their favorite costumes for Minnie’s Masquerade Ball. In this episode, Minnie needs some help getting everything ready for her party including making royal crowns for their costumes, searching for Sir Goofalot’s lost shoe, stringing up paper lanterns and much, much more. At the ball, Professor Von Drake hosts the great Clubhouse Costume Show and gives out prize ribbons to all the friends who have dressed up in some funny and fancy costumes. All it takes is a heaping helping of imagination…and the right Mouseketools.
About Disney’s Exclusive Mickey Mote:
Disney’s Mickey Mote works with any Disney Preschool DVD that includes the Discovery Mode: feature – an interactive “Watch & Play” feature on the DVD. All parents have to do is program the remote control - there’s an easy and quick set-up guide in each DVD- and select the Discovery Mode feature on the menu screen.
Within minutes, kids will be easily responding to questions, throughout the story, about scenes they just watched by pressing one of four color-coded buttons on the device --yellow star, green circle, orange triangle or blue square – to click in their responses.
Discovery Mode features include two levels of play, which provides more challenging questions as the child grows. The Mickey Mote can be used with any Disney Preschool DVD that includes the Discovery Mode feature. To date there are more than 11 titles that can be used with the remote control, just take a look at the back of the package to make sure.
About The Walt Disney Studios:
For more than 85 years, The Walt Disney Studios has been the foundation on which The Walt Disney Company (DIS: NYSE) was built. Today, the Studio brings quality movies, music and stage plays to consumers throughout the world. Feature films are released under four banners: Walt Disney Pictures, which includes Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, Disney nature, Touchstone Pictures and Marvel. Through the Home Entertainment division, innovative distribution methods provide access to creative content across multiple platforms. Original music and motion picture soundtracks are produced under Walt Disney Records and Hollywood Records, while Disney Theatrical Group produces and licenses live events, including Broadway theatrical productions, Disney on Ice and Disney LIVE! For more information, please visit www.disney.com.
I think this interactive DVD set is amazing. Disney only puts out the best media and programs for your children and I'm sure your child will love this DVD set and they will love interacting with their programs and learning with their Mickey Mote. I highly recommend your run out and get yours today!
Thanks for allowing me to share this exciting news from Disney with you.
**Disclosure: I will be receiving a review copy of this DVD set from Disney for this post. I was not paid or compensated in any way for this feature. All opinions are my own.**
Way Past Christmas
Yes I know it is way past Christmas.
But I was ill over the holiday and still wanted to post.
These are my handmade.
Some of these are 40 years old and the patterns long gone, but still cute just the same. Most were gifts from my mother but my favorites are the walnut shells.
The Eskimo and Snow people are walnut with filbert heads.
The Dolls are clothespins and cork.
The beads are created around small mirrors.
The snowman is wooden dowels and buttons.
I see on etsy they are back with a modern twist.
Would love to see your handmade and post on the site with any patterns or tips and your name.
