Ah, we all know I love yoga. There is nothing that compares! I love to do yoga right before bedtime, so I am relaxed and to get all my tension out. I love my weekly yoga class, because I know I won’t be interrupted!
My very first mat was from Gaiam. You can say it hold a special place in my heart, LOL. Kind of like a first love. I definitely think of Gaiam when I think of yoga.
So! [Read more…]
I know I am supposed to start out by talking about the scale and it’s merits- but I have to tell you something first- I LOVE THIS SCALE! Super easy to use, and fast, fast, FAST!!! I got my children’s weight very easily and quickly, and there was no need to do that “tap first” thing. It was so great- and I love that it is helping me measure my weight loss! I’m really trying hard, LOL.
You know how kids wiggle on the scale? Who cares? On this one- it’s almost instant! I love that it also gives you ounces- every little bit counts, haha. On the aesthetic note- it’s also really attractive.
I know, some of you are thinking “a scale is a scale, right”? Wrong! I had another scale- no comparison! It was never accurate, just “close”. And not anywhere near as nice-looking, either.
OK! I’ll give you the actual description now, LOL.
Cool, yes?
It also came with a tape measure- all the better to measure your shrinking waist with, my dear! 🙂
Definitely use the scale on a hard floor- not on a carpet- because it is not accurate on a carpet- although the number it will give you is VERY flattering, hahaha.

The EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale is also not only easy to use [Read more…]
New Year, New YOU! So, you all know I have been trying to lose some weight and stay healthy- I’m pretty healthy, and I’d like to stay that way, LOL. But, baby, can I stand to lose a few pounds!
Enter- Mom’s Into Fitness! This is called the “60 day SlimDown System- Get your Body Back!” It is made by Lindsay Brin, C.P.T. & B.S.E. Exercise Science, is a fitness and nutrition expert, and a former NFL cheerleader. Just like us, right? HA!
🙂
So you guys know (I hope! LOL) that I’m an honest reviewer- and I call it like I see it. You also know that since Christmas, I have been actively trying to lose weight, and I’m only using products that I’m reviewing here on Have Sippy Will Travel. (See Update)
So Away we go!!!
Mom’s Into Fitness is a cool idea. I never had the body of a cheerleader, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to fit into my favorite jeans again! You can really ease into this routine and workout, it didn’t kill me or make my body scream the next day.
If you don’t like the routine, if it is too hard, or you are bored- you are not going to stick with it, true? This is none of that, so we are good to go. It has 4 DVDs, so you can change it up. You are supposed to, in fact, and there is a system that you can use to maximize weight loss.
So, what do you get with the “60 day SlimDown System- Get your Body Back!”?
New Year, New YOU! Shapercise says you can just wear these, and weight loss and toning is on its way.
Shapercise, Powered by ShaToBu™, is based on the principle of resistance training. Resistance is defined as a force which opposes motion. Seamless bands strategically placed directly in the shaper demand an additional muscular effort when walking or moving, which consequently strengthens (tones) muscles.
I was sent a pair of the “firm control body shaper” Shapercise, underwear and workout in one. I [Read more…]
Who loves Dot to Dot? My husband loves Dot to Dot, so much that I am tempted to turn this review over to him, haha. He loves all those puzzely things, like sudoku, cross words, etc. He had a blast with the kids doing these World’s Greatest Dot to Dot pages from Monkeying Around!
These Award Winning Dot to Dot books are great for kids (and the kid at heart!) and are a great mind-exercise. Super detailed, super exciting, super challenging, these books are fun (and a great activity for a rainy day!) My husband claims it is relaxing, because all you have to do is count, LOL- yet it’s also exciting, because you don’t know what it’s going to be. For kids, it is a good counting concentration exercise.
These are a bit advanced for young kids, but older kids and fun-loving adults will enjoy them.

Sweet Pea the Bumble Bee– a cute dog, in a cute book! This adorable pup is photographed in an array of backgrounds and (hehe) career options, which my kids found delightful. Little Man kept dragging it around and telling me “what a great dog” Sweet Pea is.
Sweet Pea just makes you feel happy. You can’t help but say “awww!” Kids and adults alike will smile at the “cutie pictures” (according to Little), and make even the grumpiest of grumps giggle.
“What do you want to BeeCome? is a “Tail” starring Sweet Pea the Bumble Bee. Each page has a wonderful career along side an original photograph with Sweet pea dreaming about what she will become. With creative costumes the reader’s mind is inspired to dream big! No matter what you are, you often wonder what you will become. This book reminds us to use our God-Give Talents while dreaming big!”
A wife/husband team, along with her college friend, created this adorable book, and two others all about Sweet Pea! When they noticed how their little pup brightened people’s day, they decided to make a fun book featuring their favorite actress and model 🙂
There is also a website (The Bee Shop) that carries both children’s and dog clothing.
Would you like to win a copy of Sweet Pea?

It takes 3 AAA batteries, which were easy to put in. PupLight comes in lots of sizes, and was made with longg hair breeds and dogs in mind. There are some products out there that just get covered up by our longer-haired pals, and Pup Light wants to keep ALL our poochies safe!

My husband was loving it when he put it on our Foo Dog- we have a hard time when we don’t “fit” the dog sometimes, because he has such a giant head, LOL. According to the husband, who is in my ear right now- “This thing is awesome! It will fit on any dog! Big head or small head, I even think I can get it on the guinea pig!” (Yes, I did tell him he is not allowed to try that out, but he really does want to.) It came with an extension band- good idea!
He’s like a poet, isn’t he? Don’t be jealous ladies, he’s all mine, LOL
My dog kind of freaked out- he had no idea why he was glowing. It was a really bright light, though!
I’m impressed. I didn’t think it would be so bright. 
WELCOME TO THE HOME OF PUPLIGHT PupLight was named “Best Lighted Dog Product” by the Whole Dog Journal, January 2008.
PupLight was named most “Innovative New Product of 2006” by HGTV and the AC News Gadget Guru. [Read more…]
