You know every now and then when I upload my pictures to my computer, I find odd hilarious pictures of my kids that they take without me knowing.
I tried to figure out what was going on in this picture and my daughter said she caught the picture right as she was jumping around. LOL

I was recently able to have a little party with some neighbors, and show off some of the newest and greatest Leapfrog products.
While only half of the people showed up on my guest list (To be expected since Pediculus humans capitis has hit our school). We still had a blast though.
The first product I featured and couldn’t wait to get too.
Tag Reader
I love the tag reader, now that my daughter is in Kindergarten and learning how to read, It’s so helpful. The tag reader is not only reads you the story, It helps with sounds and you can play games with it.
Now the That Reader can also be used with the interactive map.
The Interactive map helps with Learning about the world. The kids knew instantly where we lived by identifying the big picture of the Statue Of Liberty.
Next we talked a little about different books that were available, including books with your favorite characters. I also passed out booklets with coloring sheets and $5 coupons for Leapster games (very rare coupon).
The big reveal of the Leap Pad was exciting for everyone. A lot of the parents complained that their kids loved to use their I Pads and smartphones to play games. This is a great alternative for kids and a lot cheaper than a I pad.
The App the kids most got a kick out of was the Funny Face app. Take a picture, the expand the nose, or forehead. All the kids were just cracking up over that.
A big thank you to Mom Select and Leapfrog for allowing me to show my neighbors all about these exciting products. I think I have enticed some parents to go out and get these products themselves.
visit www.leapfrog.com for more information nd to view the products.

Kids can create dozens of pumpkin designs with this kids crafting kit! Includes 12 patterns with instructions, 12 foam stickers, 8 eye and teeth inserts, 1 kid-friendly DuraSaw, 1 Scraper Scoop, 1 Poker, 1 battery operated light, and 1 crayon.
Every year I let my kids decorate a pumpkin for Halloween, It’s part of our craft time. This year we received a Pumpkin Masters carving kit, Pumpkin Masters Light and reflective stickers.
**My kids decided to make the bugaboo pattern. They left the cleaning the pumpkin out to me though.
The pattern was a bit difficult to carve out, and considering last year I went through 3 carving knifes; We let dad step in a finish the design. The kit worked out good, and their are so many designs to choose from that, we will be using this kit again next year. The poker did end up snapping while I was trying to remove the lid though.
The light makes it look so cool at night, it lights up the pumpkin and even blinks.

I am on a weight loss mission, and keep breaking my routine. Luckily there are a lot of everyday chores that can be done in fall weather that burn calories.
Raking Leaves: Raking leaves doesn’t need to be a household chore. You can make it a family activity. Tighten your biceps and triceps when raking; switch your leading arm once half the yard is done. This works your upper body. If you want to expand to work your legs, lunge backwards alternating legs with every leaf-raking motion.
You can burn 200-350 calories
Jogging with the dog: Grab your pooch and hit the road—literally, hit the road. Aside from being your best friend, a dog can be the best running partner. If your running partner needs a break—don’t stop. Keep jogging in place. To up the ante, you can do jumping jacks or high knees as you wait.
You can burn 200-400 calories per hour
Picking and lifting Pumpkins: When hitting the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin to carve— pick a five, ten and fifteen pound pumpkin. And, don’t be so quick to grab those carving tools. Pumpkins can easily be used as weights. Hold the fifteen pound pumpkin in both arms in front of your upper abdomen area, and rotate your body from right to left. Substitute that medicine ball for a pumpkin! The lighter pumpkins can act as weights to strengthen those arms.
You can burn 150-500 calories per hour

I am a stay at home mom, and I have always been worried about what would happen to my kids and I if something ever happened to my husband. So we have looked into life insurance, just in case.
The Insure Your Love Picture Mosaic by Life is designed to recognize and celebrate those who have made the responsible decision to protect their loved ones by owning life insurance, while also introducing them to a larger community of others who have made the same choice. People are encouraged to upload up to 20 photos of their loved ones, whose financial future has been safeguarded by their decision to purchase life insurance.
Add a picture and help out a great cause. Just upload a photo to Insure Your Love Facebook Page, and $1 will be donated to Life Lessons scholarship program.
This is a serious matter to think about in your life, and I am seriously considering it. My reason for wanting Life Insurance is….
My babies!
