Pirates vs Ningas Dodgeball for the Wii

I would assume that most everyone has played the sport of Dodgeball. As a kid this was my favorite and I always anticipated the days we were allowed to play. We weren't allowed to play that often because it seems like everytime we did someone would end uo with some sort of injury. Now it's brought to life in a new video game. All the fun and action of the iconic playground game minus the injuries.

Thanks to Southpeak I received a copy of Pirates VS Ninjas Dodgeball. The game is rated E 10+ (Everyone 10 and older). As soon as it arrived we put it in. Ava took over and played for what seemed like hours. She would occasionally ask me to come help. Which I would and then I would be sucked in not wanting to stop. Our favorite gameplay mode was Story mode. We enjoyed watching the story of each team unfold after each Dodgeball fight. I always picked to play Pirates, Ava always picked the Ninjas. She said the Mushroom Men freaked her out. Our opinion is you really should check out the game.

Pirates versus Ninjas is a social phenomenon; starting in online chatrooms and forums and growing to become a topic that everyone under 35 is aware of. It's a joke that has spawned online communities, Facebook applications and countless websites devoted to the subject. Finally, the phenomenon has become a video game, allowing millions of people all over the world to settle the debate once and for all.

Pledge Multi Surface Review & Giveaway

Thanks to Family Review Network and SC Johnson I had the chance to review Pledge Multi Surface. I love trying new things to clean with. With four kids a messy husband and our dogs. It's a tough cycle to get the house clean and keep it that way. What I love about the Pledge Multi Surface is that it cleans multiple surfaces. I don't need ten bottles of cleaner to get my job done.

Pledge Multi Surface cleans

• Wood
• Wood Laminate
• Plastics
• Stainless Steel
• Glass
• Mirrors
• Electronics
• Granite

Another thing I look for in a cleaning product is something that smells good. I don't like the products that make me gag from their chemicals. Pledge Multi Surface smells wonderful. It comes in two different scents. Rainshower and and Lavender Fresh. The can I got to review was Rainshower. The smell of rain is one of my favorite smells. I can't wait to try the Lavender though.

The MSRP for Plege Multi Surface is $4.49 and it's available Walmart, Target and Lowes as well as other grocery and Mass Merchandise stores. This can has lasted me quite a while now. My favorite thing to use it on is the fridge and dishwasher.
What is your cleaning style?

With life moving at a fast pace, cleaning always seems to fall last on “to do” lists. To keep up, Americans are adopting individual cleaning styles to meet their needs. Wondering what your cleaning style is? Pledge® Multi Surface Cleaner offers a quiz to help you discover your style:

1. Unexpected guests ring your doorbell, you …
1. Think, “No problem, my house is clean…it always is.”
2. Quickly toss a few scattered clothes into a basket on your way to the door.
3. See your spouse/significant other/roommate quickly putting things away and say “How can I help?”
4. Think to yourself, “This place is such a mess. I’ll pretend I’m not home.”



2. When you get home from work, you …
1. Pull out your bathroom cleaning supplies because today is “bathroom cleaning day.”
2. Pick up clutter as you move about the house.
3. See your spouse/significant other/roommate cleaning so you grab a dust rag to help.
4. Decide to leave the cleaning for the weekend.



3. How often do you clean?
1. Often – I designate different rooms to clean during the week.
2. Daily – I pickup throughout the day.
3. Whenever my spouse/significant other/roommate tells me to clean.
4. As least often as possible.



4. Do you enlist the help of your spouse/significant other/roommate when you clean?
1. No, I do it myself so the cleaning gets done the way I like it.
2. Sometimes, when I need help.
3. No, my mate is always the first to start cleaning. I jump in afterwards.
4. I usually let him or her do the cleaning.

What kind of cleaner are you? If you answered:

* Mostly As – You’re a routine cleaner. You have a set system and schedule when it comes to cleaning.
* Mostly Bs – You’re an on-the-go cleaner. You pick up clutter daily as you move from room to room.
* Mostly Cs – You’re a follow-the-leader cleaner. You clean however and whenever directed by your spouse/significant other/roommate.
* Mostly Ds – You’re an avoider cleaner. You clean only when necessary, such as before guests arrive.




Want to know how the rest of America cleans? The Pledge® Multi Surface Cleaner survey1 revealed:

* 28 percent of Americans are routine cleaners
* Almost half (47%) of Americans consider themselves to be on-the-go cleaners
* Only six percent of Americans claim to be follow-the-leader cleaners
* 17 percent of Americans are avoider cleaners

I'm an the go cleaner. Yup that's me. I do what have to do daily.

What the Funk

At least I didn't say the other word. If you are part of the big blog world I'm sure you've heard of a funk. I've been in one. I decided to take some time off, to rejuvenate myself. I love blogging, I love the relationships with other bloggers. I just felt I needed to step back and reevaluate my priorities. It seems like blogging has taken over my life. So it was time for me to do something about it.

While I was gone I played more, read more and just enjoyed "real" life. Now I feel better. I know where I stand and know when I need to take a break. What's funny though, is the entire time I was taking a blogging vacation. I felt guilty about it. Why? I don't know.

I've decided I need a schedule to accomplish everything I want to do. I want to go back to my roots and visit more blogs and leave more comments. I've slacked on that due to being overwhelmed. So Mondays and Wednesdays will be devoted to visiting others. Tuesdays and Thursdays I will fulfill my other duties. Fridays = no blogging. Fridays and Sundays are devoted to my family. My schedule is not complete I just have an idea of what I want and need to do.

So there you have it. I'm back and hopefully better then ever ;)

What not to do when a spider is crawling on you

Yesterday I was outside watering my plants. When I hear Tucker scream. When you are a Mom, you know what certain screams mean. This was a blood curdling howl. I could only assume that he had hurt himself somehow. He runs to me with his right hand clinched in a fist as he's holding it next to his ear.

Through the screaming I made out. "Spider....crawling on me...here take it." He then holds out his fist. My mind was running a million miles an hour. "What?" "Why is it in your hand?" "What kind of spider?" "Did it bite you?" and "Why are you handing to me?" I said none of this to him. I just grabbed the first thing I could find so he could let go of it. I wasn't about to take the thing in my hand. I had no idea what exactly it was. Plus I'm as terrified of them as he is. I had to put on my strong face though. So he would calm down.

Once he had let it go I noticed it was just a Grand Daddy Long Leg. All this fuss over a spider that doesn't bite. Poor thing had been smashed to smithereens. I told poor Tucker that it's okay. That spider does not bite. And please to keep me from losing my mind. The next time a spider crawls on you please.please.please. just swat it off. DO NOT GRAB IT AND TAKE IT TO MOMMY!
