Shutterfly - Perfect Way To Share This Season

I have found that when it comes to Christmas cards my husband and I are on different levels.  He absolutely enjoys creating the annual newsletter, sharing our family news from the past year and wishing our family and friends a joyful holiday season.

Well, I agree on the 'wishes of a joyful holiday season', it's the "newsletter" part that gets me.  And isn't that odd?  I like to write... ev-er-y-day!  (Add this issue to the "Ann makes no sense" File).

What I do love to do is share pictures.  When you send photos of your family the reaction you will most likely hear is "I can't believe how big they're getting!"  This had better be directed at the children ;->   And for those that like to display Christmas cards, a photo card looks a lot better on a mantel then a newsletter, I'm just sayin'.

Last year I used the on-line service at Shutterfly.com for our Christmas photo cards and was overjoyed at the results.  You have so many designs and layouts to choose from that you are sure to find some style to your liking.  The finished product was clean and crisp and helped up present our best to our family and friends.  They also help you create photo gifts and calendars.

Apothederm Hydrating Eye Cream Review & Special Offer

I've been searching for an eye cream that will help with under-eye puffiness and hopefully buff the fine lines and wrinkles that have a habit of showing up even when I tell them they're not welcome.  Recently I was given the opportunity to try Hydrating Eye Cream from the skin care line Apothederm.

I found this product to feel cool under my eyes with no stinging to my sensitive skin or leaving a residue.  I was able to apply my make-up with out the product sticking or leaving my make-up looking cakey. 

After two weeks I found a slightly noticeable difference with my under-eye puffiness.  Also I found the Hydrating Eye Cream to do the trick for smoothing my fine lines. Hydrating Eye Cream comes in a 0.5 oz bottle and retails for $40.00.

If you would like to give products from this skin care line a try, the lovely people at Apothederm are offering the readers of Ann Again... and again Reviews $10 off ANY product just by using the code: TENOFF at check-out (expires 12/31/11).

Wii "Go Vacation" Review

 

My girls are having a blast playing Go Vacation on the Wii.  In the beginning they didn't seem to be too interested in this new game, so I started my own Wii adventure while they went on about their business.  Let me just say it didn't take long until I heard the word, "Can I play too?".  (My plan worked ;->)

We've been playing Wii "Go Vacation" for 3 weeks now and their interest doesn't seem to be waning.  It's easy to see why.  Go Vacation takes you to an island that hosts 4 resorts, all resorts have different activities and challenges and you collect points along the way.  There are games that require you to get up and move your body, so I was thrilled to see that my girls weren't going to be sitting on the couch while they were watching their virtual selves scuba dive, go horseback riding and rollerblading.  There's activity going on and you get to be part of the action.

Go Vacation for the Wii has activities that allow you to use Wii accessories including the Wii Balance Board, the Wii Zapper and Wii MotionPlus.  We don't have all of those accessories and our remotes work just fine.  Go Vacation from Namco Bandai is an excellent choice for gift giving this holiday season.
