June 2nd – Weekly Roundup

So I got home this afternoon and found a box on my doorstep. Inside it was:

How awesome is that!? It felt like my birthday or something… My first impression of the game? LUUURVE it. I completed Day 1 of the EA SPORTS Active 30-Day Challenge tonight, and it felt good. More details to come tomorrow.

Just thinkin’ about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow ’til there’s none!

Tomorrow (June 2nd) is a big day, y’all. You’ll want to make sure and drop by if you get a chance…

But back to the Weekend Roundup!

I decided to put off doing chores yet again this weekend, and tackled Google Reader instead. I found a few goodies that I’d love to share.

Fun blog post
In Five Minutes for Fitness: Noggin Workout, Denise shares her favorite Noggin music videos that are sure to get you and your kids moving! A cute post.

Game
DeepLeap claims to be a “fast-paced time-wasting word game” and that’s exactly what it is. And a lot of fun, too!

Food
Kristen shares her spring tradition of making Bird’s Nest Cookies. Sounds easy enough, and is a good way of using up leftover Easter candy. Not that I have any left. But if I did!

Photography
The Official White House Flickr Photostream has some interesting behind-the-scenes photos.

Blogging
On Daily Blog Tips I found 6 useful Feedburner features that are usually ignored. I’m going to be using some of those tips myself…

Freebie
Burt’s Bees is giving away 25,000 Beeswax Lip Balms in 25 days. You can try to get your hands on a coupon between 9am and 12 noon every day until June 20th!

Giveaways

• Dina at Just Another New Blog is giving away a TON of great books. Check them out!
• Caryn – the Rockin’ Mama – is giving away Elmo and Abby’s Birthday Fun, which just happens to come out on DVD today. Ends June 3rd.
• Enter to win an Oreck vacuum on Mom Fuse. Ends June 6th.
• A sand and water table is the perfect summer toy – enter to win one at Life Starring Ellie and Eve. Ends June 3rd.

If you like this post, and there’s another category you’d be interested in, I’d love suggestions!!

   Hi Grace – I did get that for free, in addition to Visa gift card so I can buy food for a house party, and a 2nd copy of the game to give away to a party guest. I’m so excited to be taking part in the launch!
