Trick Your Kids Into Exercising

Sometimes you just need to fool them a little so they get what's good for them. Like when you sneak vegetables into their food without them knowing. Now you can sneak in a little exercise too.

The FXB works well with the Nintendo Wii™ racing games such as Mario Kart™.

Furreal Friends

If your kids are bugging you about getting them a pet for the holidays, Furreal Friends may be just what you need to get them off your back. My husband and I first saw these furry creatures at Toys "R" Us and they scared the crap out of us...they are that life-like. Especially the cat...if you are a cat person then I am sure you will think it is adorable but for me...I'm still having nightmares about that cat. It purrs, it opens it's eyes, it moves it's head! It even rolls back so you can scratch it's animatronic stomach!

There's a bunch of other animals to choose from as well. The chipmunk is a little strange. As per the website: "It acts just like a real baby chipmunk!" Umm...how exactly does a chipmunk act?

Oh wait...

Rent the Runway

Need a gorgeous designer dress for a special occasion but don't feel like paying retail price for it? Check out Rent The Runway. Sign up for a membership (there's a waiting list right now) and you'll have access to lots of expensive party dresses that you can rent (prices are from $50-$200/dress).

RTR sends you the dress of your choice, plus an extra size, just in case, at no extra cost. With your rental, you will also get a kit that includes double-sided Flash Tape, deodorant Wipe Outs, and a Magic Clip bra converter to help avoid any wardrobe malfunctions.

There is a $5 insurance fee which basically covers you if you end up spilling something on the dress (or any other minor damage)...unfortunately that $5 doesn't cover you if you completely destroy the dress (you break it, you buy it).

You have 4 days to return the dress (8 days if you rent it for longer). To return it, just put into the pre-paid, pre-addressed return envelope that it came with and pop it into the mailbox. Easy!

Oh and if you live in NYC, that dress can be at your door by the afternoon if you order it in the morning.

Check out Rent The Runway to get all the details and sign up for the membership.
