You are going to love these (mostly) secluded and romantic lodges. February is a dreary month, but if you can’t skate to Hawaii or slide to Cabo, grab several boxes of Godiva Chocolates and head off to one of these gorgeous lodges.
Romantic Weekend Getaways in Historic Seattle Lodges
What more could there be? Chocolates, a warm fireplace, a Blackberry thrown into the bottom of a river, and a sexy sweetheart!
The very first time I went cruising (to Alaska) I lost weight. And, I have been thinking about that for a few years…
I analyzed and decoded the mystery of cruising and cruise food and all the things that I like about cruise ships. The result is THE PRINCESS DIET.
Here is what any woman can do on a cruise vacation to lose weight:

Check out my article. It really works (for me).

Grandma Moses
I have been so busy learning how to write using google SEO keywords that I forgot to add some posts to this for a while. I am so sorry.
But, I have been watching an enchanting movie (Julie and Julia) about a young woman who is writing (a blog) and her husband gets pissed off at her because she’s not paying enough attention to him. Well, it’s the story of my life.
Anyway…. I’m going back to watch the end of the movie. I hope I don’t cry.

Baby Alive Doll
This is my very own website and I have to tell you that some of these toys are cute and some of these toys make me crazy.
Tonka Chuck is an interactive toy and parents who want Tonka Chuck should jump up, run out and get it before they take another breath. Chuck may become difficult to find because he’s hot, hot, hot. This is a head’s up, not an endorsement…actually Chuck Truck is cute, but after 100 times of hearing Chuck, you may need to hide in the basement.
Liv is challenging Barbie this year and Liv might be a challenge to find on shelves. Liv is not an adult doll like Barbie, she’s a teenager. See a video of a Liv Doll
Whiplash is something like a scooter, yet with a bit of skateboard, snowboard, and craziness thrown in. See Whiplash Scooter
0-2 years: Elmo Tickle Hands (Make your kid into a TV robot.)
3-5 years: 1-2-3 Stomp! (Does Toy Guy come with it to pick up all the pieces?)
6-8 years: Air Hogs Zero Gravity Laser: I’m glad I had girls.
9+ years: Twilight Scene It? This Twilight game would be ok for slumber parties, I guess.
Wow, girls must be naturally nurturing: Baby Alive poops all over you…?

Buy American Toys
I was thinking about what people could do to help others this holiday season and I decided to write an article about good, creative, well-made American toys. What could be better than fighting the Big Box Blues?
Help someone in the states keep his or her job! Shop online for products made by small companies!

Buy American Toys
Hi Kids,
I want to encourage people to buy toys made in the USA. I’m writing a few articles about toys that kids might like, that are made in America.
I would never say, “NEVER buy a toy from China or Asia or any non-US company.” Every child has some favorite toy or doll and it’s made wherever it’s made and a mom or grandma wants her kiddos to be happy. And, I have nothing against the Chinese people. My best friend, while growing up, was Cathryn Chang.
On the other hand, it helps the US economy when we buy stuff that’s homegrown. Right?
See this Video about Cheap Stuff
I have several tee shirts from Walmart, so remember that I’m coming at this with an open mind. However, it’s nice to help Americans keep their jobs…even Santa would like that.
