Amazing Race Fantasy Game Week 10


I still can't believe how mad Chad got at being u-turned. I guess I would be ticked too!!

Jill and Thomas have a huge lead on the other teams to start!!

I can't blame Brook and Claire for being mad, but why are they only mad at Thomas??

At least Thomas and Jill tried to make some amends!!

Hong Kong is a really pretty city.

Poor Vicki. It is tough to have asthma and run like that.

That stinks that they missed the boat though. That puts them a half hour behind the others now.

Nick can be such a jerk sometimes. Why is she with him??

Majesty Restaurant looks like fun. Karaoke is awesome!!

My Husband would be bad at this challenge. He could eat all the food he picks up without problem, but he wouldn't spot the fake food. He would eat it before he knew it was fake!!!

That watermelon in Claire's face awhile back still hurts me to watch!!!

Nat and Kat had an easy time with the food challenge.

The sign challenge looks easy, but might be really hard.

The boat/bird challenge looks a little easier, but its dark out!!

I would probably throw up too if I ate as much as Claire did!!

That was sheer luck that Claire found the fake piece right away after throwing up!!

Jill and Thomas gave up on the sign challenge pretty quickly.

But it benefited them because they found the boat really quickly!!

Poor Vicki is watching all the people leave, its taking her soooo long!!

That's a great trip for Nat and Kat to go to Rio DE Genaro!!!!

Poor Vicki is having it rough with that challenge.

Nick really loves to whine a lot doesn't he??

Vicki is silly to give up. I would have kept going.

Now they are stuck with a 6 hour penalty. Ouch!!

I can't believe they made it to a non elimination leg. That was luck, but the next leg is going to be tough. They are 6 hrs behind the other teams at least, not including what ever they are naturally behind them time wise, and they now have a speed bump.

At least I don't have to say goodbye to anyone this week!!

Hells Kitchen Fantasy Game Week 7




I am still sooooooo glad that Sabrina is gone!! It was about time!!


These "chefs" really need to step up their game. It is down to the final 5 and I don't know who should win!!


Roach Coaches are awesome!!!


OK Trev's lunch doesn't seem smart, too messy, but Russell's lunch of Octopus is NASTY!!!!!


61% thought Russell's dish was bad. I can't blame them. Yuck!!


40% preferred and picked Gail's steak salad to win!! Good for her. Nona was a very close second!!


Wow what a bunch of sore losers the rest of the chefs are.


Gail looks great with her new hair cut!! I like that!!

I want new clothes!!


That punishment wasn't that bad. I have seen a lot worse!!


That was nice that the Marines were applauded for.


Nona, and Jill did not have a good start.



The Chefs are getting worse and worse.

I can't blame Ramsey for running away.

I knew it would come down to either Trev or Gail.

I am sorry to say goodbye to Debbie (Gail went bye bye)
Thank you for playing!!

Amazing Race Fantasy Game Week 9


Sorry I am late with last weeks post. The Holidays and Work have thrown me off schedule A LOT!!!

Of course the whole episode didn't tape again (stupid football) so I have no idea who got voted off!!

I guess I will let you know on my next post!!

Ouch a double u-turn would really hurt a team bad!!

I don't know if Kat and Nat were wise on their choice of flying to one place and then taking a chance to get to their right destination.

Good job for Jill and Thomas for getting a better flight. Same with Nick and Vicki.

Nat and Kat's flight plan didn't help them at all.

That sugar cane juice must have been really really sweet!!

Those rickshaws cut it pretty close to avoid hitting cars!!

I would not pick the brick challenge. That would give me an instant headache!!

Jill and Thomas are flying through these challenges!!

Brook and Claire are going to be ticked!!

I am glad that Nick and Vicki are in second. I like Vicki. She is a tough girl!!

Jill and Thomas have a HUGE lead!! Wow!!

I want a $15,000 gift card!!!

That was nice of Vicki and Nick not to u-turn anyone!!

Poor Chad and Stephanie are now in big trouble not going to the right spot and not finding help.

How come they all forget the chain on the rickshaws??

Chad and Stephanie and Brook and Clarie are now going to have it tough!!

It looks quite warm having to carry those bricks and fix those rickshaws. The sweat is dripping down their faces!!

Chad is a little angry at the doctors huh??

I got to watch the end on CBS.com so I saw that Chad and Stephanie were the last to arrive which means they are gone from the race.

Which also means that I need to say goodbye to Beth.

Thank you for playing!!

US States Trivia Games Review



I can remember many many years ago when I had to learn about the 50 States in School.

It was very hard for me to keep track of all of them. I still find it hard sometimes to remember all the names and where they are on a map!!

I like how Python Printable Games makes learning about the states fun for kids with a great United States Trivia Pack!!

This is a great way to interact with your kids, and refresh your own memory!!

I would also highly recommend these games for Teachers to use as a learning tool to make things fun for the kids.

You can get a game pack that includes games and facts for all 50 States for $19.95

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Kinoco AHCC Review And ~~Giveaway~~

I hate being sick!!

When I was a kid, it was a great reason to get out of school!!

Now that I am an adult, I don't have my Mom to take care of me, I still have to get up no matter what because of the kids, and I usually can't get out of work!!

This time of year in New England is murder on peoples immune systems.

One day its 60*, the next its 20*.

I try to do whatever I can to keep from getting sick.

When Brittany asked me if I wanted to review Kinoko AHCC, I of course had to give it a try!!

I haven't gotten sick sense I started taking it, so I hope that's a sign it works!!!

The only down side to taking the AHCC is that you have to take 4 pills a day!!!

I am horrible with remembering to take medicine (ask my Doctors!!)




Kinoko AHCC 250mg 60 Capsules

Kinoko Helps to eliminate countless types of irritants, germs, pollutants, free radicals and other health compromising substances.

The Number 1 Selling Immune Support Dietary Supplement from Japan.
Physicians in Japan have recommended AHCC to help maintain normal immune function and response since 1987, and AHCC has been shown to be effective for many in numerous clinical studies.

Kinoko AHCC - The Perfect Partner For A Healthy Immune System.
Why do some people seem perpetually healthy, while others are prone to illness? Why are more and more people diagnosed with serious maladies? The answer to these health questions lies in part with your immune system.

AHCC is the perfect partner for a healthy immune system. Every day we are exposed to countless types of irritants, germs a pollutants and free radicals and other health compromising substances. Thankfully, our immune system efficiently and immediately repels the greater majority of these irritants. Unfortunately, the constant onslaught can tax and weaken the immune response, which affects our overall health and well being.

More on AHCC:
Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC), mycelia extracts of cultured basidiomycetes, was examined in animal models to relieve side effects, such as anemia, alopecia and liver injury induced by anticancer drugs. This is a Japanese mushroom extract, AHCC, and medical research shows it can reduce nausea, vomiting, pain, appetite suppression, liver damage, hair loss and immune suppression.

AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) was developed by the Amino-Up Chemical Company of Sapporo, Japan. It is made from a proprietary hybrid of Shiitake and other medicinal mushrooms grown with rice bran in a liquid medium (a controlled environment like hydroponic gardening for mushrooms), that is then fermented to extract a unique, low molecular weight compound, not common to medicinal mushrooms. The active ingredient in AHCC has been identified as a 5,000 dalton weight molecule with an alpha-glucan structure (a Dalton is a unit of molecular weight equal to one Carbon atom). In contrast, the immune enhancing compounds of most mushrooms are identified as 100,000 to 1,000,000 dalton weight, beta-glucan molecules. AHCC has been the subject of more than 29 published studies since 1986 and is used in over 700 hospitals in Japan, so there is a great deal of scientific evidence that AHCC not only helps to prevent the side effects of chemotherapy, but enhances its primary effectiveness as well.

I wanted to share part of Brittanys email to me with you. I thought this was really funny.

Here are some reasons she and her co-workers came up with for not wanting to be sick!!

Being sick throws off that diet you just re-started on Monday, since we all know the best comfort food is fourteen slices of chocolate cake!

A mom laying in bed is a magnet for dogs that need walking, kids that need feeding and a husband who doesn’t know where you keep the kids pj’s.

Sick days aren’t for YOUR sick days -- they’re only for when the kids get sick!

Your husband can’t even use the microwave, never mind cook dinner!

Kids (and spouses) don’t get the phrase “mommy is sick”.

You really think someone is going to bring you orange juice, or chicken noodle soup in bed??

The mess you find when you get out of bed will make you sicker!

If you get sick, the whole house gets sick -- even the dog (I swear they do it on purpose).

You have to host a sleepover with 15 girls for your daughter’s birthday next week.

And, of course, who’s going to write your blog?


So in honor of the spirit of giving, and not wanting to get sick, I get to give away a bottle of the AHCC to one lucky reader.

MyClyns Personal Spray is a protective spray in an easy-to-use convenient pen-like device that allows you to protect yourself immediately after an exposure while you are still attending to your care recipient.

•MyClyns Personal Spray is a versatile, convenient and readily accessible first response non-aerosol spray providing immediate personal protection from potentially harmful pathogens.
•MyClyns Personal Spray is the only non-alcohol option you can keep in your pocket and apply directly to your face and skin when you are in the field and your post-exposure protocols are not available.
•Independent laboratory tests show that the solution in MyClyns Personal Spray demonstrates a 99.99% reduction in over 60 potentially dangerous pathogens.
•MyClyns Personal Spray contains a 510(k) medical device solution cleared by the FDA as a wound cleanser (under 21 CFR §880.5090).




MyClyns® germ killing action reduces more than 60 pathogens by 99.9%. This innovative germ fighting spray can be safely used for minor cuts and abrasions, and is the only germ spray safe to apply directly into the eyes, nose and mouth without stinging or burning.

Keep it in your first aid kit when your family is on the soccer field, at the playground, riding bikes or just hanging around the backyard. Great to use on facial cuts and scrapes.

Doug puts everything in his mouth. I mean EVERYTHING!!!

At home, I am not too worried because we try to keep things he puts in his mouth very clean.

When we are out and about that's a different story!!

Doug loves to put his mouth on the handle of shopping carts. It is very very difficult to keep him from doing that.

MyClyns Germ Protection Spray is safe to use with kids, and wont hurt them if it gets in their eyes, nose or mouth.

I use the spray on the handle as an extra precaution. All though I still desperately try to keep him from putting his mouth on it!!

MyClyns comes in a small easy to carry, pen shaped container perfect for purses and backpacks.

This is a great product to have on hand.

Holiday Gift Guide- Jumbies Review And ~~Giveaway~~

zwani.com myspace graphic comments
Sarahs Blog Of Fun Holiday Gift Guide And Giveaways!!




Sponsored by Tomoson.com


There were more babies being born than ever before. The storks had to deliver them from shore to shore. There were baby elephants, bears, dogs, and cats. They had tigers, skunks and even baby bats!

You could also find raccoons, deer, mice and whales. There were camels, sharks and dinosaurs with long tails. There were koalas, kangaroos and chimpanzees. The storks had all kinds of fish and even bumblebees! They had to deliver them in the north, south, east and west.

There was so much to do they had little time for rest. They flew to America, Europe, Antarctica and down under. They went to Africa and Asia trying not to blunder. There was not a place on earth where the storks did not fly. Everywhere in the world the storks filled up the sky. They had to move real fast for there was no time to be slow.

It began to get very confusing on where they had to go. Some storks turned left when they should have turned right. Some storks flew all day when they should have flown at night. Other storks flew east when they should have gone west. Everything went wrong even though they were trying their best. Then in began to happen in a flash! One by one they started to CRASH!!!

The storks smashed right into each other. It kept happening one after the other. They crashed in the clouds up in the air. There were stork feathers everywhere! They landed in the water, the trees and in the dirt. It was a miracle that none of the storks were hurt.

Then they quickly went to see if the babies were okay. The babies were fine but the storks did not know what to say. When the storks crashed and tumbled, it appeared all the animal babies were jumbled! The storks could not believe their eyes. These babies were quite a surprise. They still looked very lovable and sweet. But they were very different from their head to their feet.

There were no more zebras or elephants. But they found lots and lots of Zelephants! They looked for giraffes and buffaloes. But the storks only found Giraffaloes! These jumbled babies became a new breed. So they called them JUMBiES the storks agreed.

There were no lions, tigers or bears anywhere around. But they found thousands of these JUMBiES on the ground. Even bugs, birds and fish were not the same. The storks had to take all of the blame. Now since all the babies were a jumbled mix. The storks had a problem that was not easy to fix. It was not clear where these little ones were suppose to go. These babies were jumbled up so the storks did not know. They took the JUMBiES to a place with palm trees and white sand. The storks called this beautiful island JUMBiELAND.

But the JUMBiES still needed homes where they would be cared for. So the storks flew everywhere on earth and knocked on every door. The storks found homes with loving girls and boys. The JUMBiES have given them many new joys.

But there are more JUMBiES that still happen every day. They too need homes that give them love in a special way. The storks continue to find homes for them like yours and mine. The JUMBiES need your special love because they are one of a kind.



These are soooooo cute!!! I was sent the following two and I love them!!







Name: Darwin

Breed Mix: Monkey & Duck

DOJ (Date of Jumble):
November 9th, 2008

Location: Kississippi Falls / Duckey Dam

Likes: Climbing trees, swimming, building exotic treehouses, eating his all time favorite food…banana-fish sundaes (which makes all the other JUMBiES queasy)

Dislikes: Monotonous work or anything that lacks adventure.

Profile: Impulsive, excitable, loud,





Name: Warner

Breed Mix: Tyrannosaurus Rex & Ram

DOJ (Date of Jumbie):
June 22nd, 2008

Location: Prehistoric Park

Likes: Likes to collect fossils, rock climbing and munching on trees – whole

Dislikes: Hates loud noises, stingy JUMBiES and meteors

Profile: Very spontaneous, very hyper and easily excited…sometimes jumps from one activity to another before realizing what has been done. Loves hamburgers, macaroni and cheese and tree-trunk toothpicks. Messy and chaotic by nature and loves to play and explore JUMBiELAND with Zumbo the Zelephant.

Motto: “Don’t ask me, look it up in the Tyramasaurus!”

Jumbies are such a great idea. Mixing two animals together to make a new creature.
is adorable.


The two Jumbies that I received are made to last. Doug is a one year old on a mission to destroy the world and all his Brothers toys.

He has tried to rip off the limbs, but they are on there too well for him!!

The Jumbies also have their own website called Jumbieland, where you can learn all about the new Jumbies, play games, and print out free coloring pages.

These are a great gift for those young kids on your list!!

I am very happy to be able to give one of you a Jumbie of your very own!!

Farm Rich Mushrooms Review



I hadn't tried breaded mushrooms until just a couple years ago, and now I am hooked.

Every year we go to The Big E (a huge fair in Springfield) and I was introduced to deep fried mushrooms.

They have to be one of the worst foods in the world for you, but they are sooooo good.

When I was given the chance to try a
Farm Rich product, I choose their Mushrooms.

You could either deep fry them, or oven bake them. I choose to oven bake them to try to cut down on the badness factor!!

They took about 15 minutes to cook, and they were really good. Just the right crispness!!

Farm Rich has a wide variety of other tasty appetizer products including Mozzarella Bites and Meatballs.
