"Wii Play" Game for Nintendo Wii!

 
  If you have a Nintendo Wii and are looking for a new game that is fun for the whole family, try Wii Play.  This game includes classic past times such as Table Tennis and Billiards as well as new favorites such as "Find Mii" and "Laser Air Hockey".  This variety makes Wii Play a game that is good for the whole family; every one is sure to find a game they will enjoy.

  When you first start playing the game, you have to play each game once in order to unlock it.  After that, you can play any of the games, any time you want to.  One fun thing about the game is that you can play alone and try to get a gold medal in your favorite games, or grab a friend and battle it out to see who can win the most games.  This is the perfect game for a family game night or a simple summer afternoon at home.

After you start playing, I'd love to hear your high scores!  Here are some of mine:

Find Mii ~ 63 levels


 Pose Mii ~ 549 points


Shooting Range ~ 490 points

Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore


 
  Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is an exciting and funny movie about a rejected police dog that finds himself on a mission with a spy agency made up of all dogs.  When Kitty Galore, a cat seeking revenge on dogs and humans, cooks up a plan that will put all dogs in kennels, dogs and cats have to work together to foul her plan.  Cats and Dogs have never worked together, so this mission is deffinitely a first for them.  As cats and dogs grow closer together you will discover that they really can get along!


   I saw this movie in 2D, but in the blu-ray3D/blu-ray/dvd/digital copy combo pack you can choose which way you want to see it ( you can only watch the movie in 3D if you have a 3D capable TV and Blu-Ray player).  On a scale of one to five I would rate this movie a four.  This is a great family movie for boys and girls of all ages!

Note: It is rated PG for mild language.

Wii Fit Plus!

                                  
    Did you know that a child should get in sixty minutes of excercise each day, (and an adult should get around thirty minutes) five or six days a week?  Do you want to exercise routinely but aren't sure what to do or where to go to get a good, enjoyable work-out?  Well, with the Wii Fit Plus, you can excercise with fun games in the comfort of your own home!  You can start off with a daily "Body Test", which will give you a good idea of your weight, BMI (body mass index), and center of balance.  If you continue the test, you can find out what shape your body is in with some bodly and mind tests chosen just for you.  After your body test, be sure to warm up with some strengh training excercises.  Two very nice excercises are the Lunge excercise (which helps you warm up and strenghen your legs) and the Tri-cep excercise, (which helps you warm up and tone your upper arms).  After you finish warming up, try out some, balance or arobic games, whichever are more benefitial to you ( the wii fit balance board might suggest some games after your body test ).  There are also Training Plus games, which aren't featured in the original Wii Fit game.  These games include Snowbal Fight, Balance Bubble Plus, Obstacle Course, and more.

  After you finish your work-out, you can cool down and start to relax with some yoga poses.  They will help improve your posture if you use them every day.  Remember, cooling down is just as important as warming up!

  I hope that this review has been helpful and will lead you to better health and wellness with the wii fit plus!  Be sure to purchase both the wii fit board and game through my Amazon link.  Have a great day!

The Baby-Sitters Club Book 2: Claudia And The Phantom Phone Calls




That's right! Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacy are back and just as the are getting used to managing the BCS (Baby-Sitters Club ), a shocking story appears in the newspaper; a burglar has appeared in a town near Stoneybridge! The thief is notorious for calling innocent people and not saying a word, only calling to see if they are home. When the home owners leave, he breaks in and steals their valuable jewelry. The criminal has been nicknamed "The Phantom Caller". Through the eyes of Claudia Kishi, see how the Baby-Sitters deal with this new issue, which they hadn't ever thought about before: What if a burglar strikes when one of them is baby-sitting?! If you enjoyed Book 1: Kristy's Great Idea, you'll surely enjoy this sequel.

This book is suspenseful, but also has a touch of humor, just the way I like it! I was already a big BSC fan after reading the first book, but the second book really had me wanting more! Although book two could pretty much stand by itself, if you're interested in learning how the Baby-Sitters Club was started, be sure to pick up a copy of Kristy's Great Idea using the Amazon widget on my post from two days ago.

As always, have a wonderful day and be sure to give me some feedback by leaving a quick comment. Feel free to leave a request if you want advice on the perfect books, snacks, or movies for you. I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.
