five of your favorite family time ideas

Twittermoms.com and LEGO have a great blogging opportunity going on right now.  List 5 of your favorite family time ideas.  For me we try to do it frugal but do it fun. Here are some of the things we enjoy doing.

1. We love to have a movie night.  We get a movie on Videos on Demand usually (family friendly of course). I’ll make up some microwave popcorn or some finger foods. The kids are allowed to eat in the living room (this is usually a no no so it’s fun for the kids).  They love it and we can all have a laugh together and talk about the movie.

2.  Baking—now I’m no Betty Crocker but the kids enjoy a box mix just as much as making from scratch. For a quick treat we like to get the muffin mixes. We’ll make them up together and eat them warm with butter and a glass of milk.  Even though it only take a few minutes the kids enjoy it.  I let them do most of it.  Then they like to tell dad “i made these muffins”.

3.  Family soccer games (when the weather is cooperative of course).  It’s usually my hubby and one of my sons, then me and one of my sons on teams.  We put a blanket out for the baby with some toys on it and he enjoys watching us.  We kick the ball around the yard setting certain landmarks as goals (1 is usually between the 2 rose bushes the other is usually the sand pit where the easy set pool was)

4.  Family walks.  Sometimes the kids will ride their bikes along side and sometimes they’ll walk.  The baby enjoys looking around and taking in everything. 

5.  Family game night–this could include a boys only video game session (the 2 older boys and my hubby with me and the baby watching and me getting snacks for them), card games, or whatever we feel like. 

I’d love to hear some of your frugal family time activities.  OR create your own post with twittermoms.com for a chance at LEGO prizes!

Good deal on personalized url stickers for your car

I had been looking around pricing URL decals to put on my car for my blog. Some places were rather pricey. Others seemed so big. I didn’t want to turn my car into a moving billboard I just wanted something simple that someone might see sitting behind me in traffic.

I found Rogers Stuff on Bonanzle. He does personalized URL vinyl decals.

He has simple ones for only $3.49.  It says it’s for Bonanzle booth but he will do them for any web address.  I had him do my custom URL for my blog www.luvsavingmoney.info

This is the back of my car.  Tried to take the pic so my license plate wasn’t in the photo.  I put the decal on crooked.

He can do them in Black

Or White

Both colors are only $3.49 ea.  This is not a typical review.  I just know that there are other people like me looking for a cheap way to advertise and I found a great way.  I’ve already had about 3 people ask me “What’s luvsavinmoney?”  So i hand them my business card with my blog url and say “it’s my blog about saving money.  I also do reviews and giveaways!” lol

Anywho, just thought I’d share for anyone else looking.

Oh almost forgot.  He also has “fancier” ones if you really wanted something bigger or wanted to add a logo or something  You can see those here:  Website Domain URL those are $40  but like I said the ones for $3.49 he can make whatever url you wanna use just it’s not as flashy

Review Eden Fantasys: The Craving **Intended for those 18 yrs or older**

THIS POST IS INTENDED FOR MY READERS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.  THIS POST CONTAINS AN ADULT PRODUCT REVIEW.  

I was browsing through the Eden Fantasys website with my husband.  I asked him.  “If were were to get something from this website, what would interest you?”  We looked over the wide variety of adult products. My husband suggested we get an Adult DVD to watch together.  I have to admit I was a little hesitant when he said that.  Then he said “You pick it out, whatever you want.” 

Oh boy, I was a little flustered.  I don’t know anything about Adult DVDs.  What makes a “good” one?  What would I be able to tolerate watching? What do I know I definitely don’t want to see?  I looked over some dvds. I’d ask my husband, “what would you think of this one?”  He’d say ” I don’t care whatever”.  Grrr, little help here honey I’m floundering. 

I fell on one called “The Craving” with Jessica Drake.  It was supposed to be a collection of fairy tales that were…well…twisted.  The cover at least was not blatantly pornographic.  It sounded like it could be interesting. I’m willing to try new things in the bedroom.  Maybe the dvd would give us some ideas. 

We watched “The Craving” together.  There were X rated twists on fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, the Pied Piper, and others. 

From my understanding Adult films are notorious for less than Oscar caliber acting (that’s an understatement) and with “The Craving” it didn’t seem to be an exception to what I had heard.  Here’s my complaint too…a little off subject….you can tell these types of movies are meant for guys.  The women are half decent looking but the guys…um…less than.  What’s up with that?!

Ok anyway, if you are like me (a novice to the watching adult film world) and your significant other suggests an Adult film this may be a good one to start with.  There is at least a story line.  It seems to be a tamer X rated dvd (no weird freaky fetishes or anything like that).  Eden Fantasys ships discreetly as well so you don’t have to worry about that.
