I’ve had a few things on my mind lately that I MUST SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU! Things I’ve referenced but not fully explained, and things I think you will love as much as I do.
First of all, The Fitbit (held in the picture to show how tiny it is!). My Mom got Casey and I one of these supped up pedometers for Christmas, and we LOVE it. This lovely little device captures the number of steps you take in a day, flights of stairs you’ve walked, calories burned, activity level – and it randomly sends you inspirational phrases like “I LUV YA!” and “STEPGEEK!” and “CLIMB!”
It connects wirelessly to your computer to update your stats throughout the day, and comes with a charger that is a USB device.
You can enter your daily gym activity, and your daily food intake as well. If you choose to set a weight loss goal, it will give you suggested meal and exercise plans. It tracks it ALL!
You also wear this device while you’re sleeping and it tracks your sleep!
You can see that last night I had a 95% efficient sleep, but I was “awakened” 19 times. I think this is mostly when I roll over or move. Basically I got a ton of sleep last night, and it was much needed! I highly recommend this fantastic device to anyone looking to increase their health and pay more attention to the activity they get throughout a day.
And last, but DEFINITELY not least, I have finished reading an amazing book my one of my first bloggy friends, Kenya. She, much like myself, enjoys quotes from kids. Except she actually took it a step further and published a book chock full of adorable quotes by her very own son! I think this is amazing because he will never be this small again, and here she has a very wonderful snapshot of his wit and wisdom at this age.
Here is a perfect example…
I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Christopher Chronicles: Dead Chicken Soup for the Soul, as soon as possible – because you will LOVE it, and you will be laughing the entire time. Plus, isn’t it great to support fellow bloggers in their adventures? I think so, and trust me, Kenya is a wonderful person to support!
Okay that’s it for now! I hope you all will go explore some of these neat things! Also, I have not been compensated or asked to review any of these items; they are just some amazing things that I wanted to let you know about!

Ooh, so THAT'S what a Fitbit is! Thanks for showing us. And that's a beautiful picture of you two. Really neat idea.
I love that canvas art!! And awww thanks so for much for making TCC a favorite. The big smile surpasses the need to have a tantrum that my button doesn't work. š Off to the button drawing board. Maybe.
Thanks for the chuckle quote and I loved the pic from your wedding.
The photo art is fabulous.
And tracking your sleep? I am caught between having a Big Brother shudder and thinking that is an amazingly helpful tool for monitoring your own health. Can't decide!
Oooh I've been waiting to hear about this FitBit. Sounds fun. May have to look into one. That photo art is amazing. So beautiful and love that your vows are on there.
I started a book, when the boy first started talking, that has all his fabulous quotes! I hadn't thought about publishing it…but you never know! At the very least, it has been fun to share with him along the way and remind him of some of the cute things he has said in his past!

Love the idea of kid quotes. Maybe I should start one for my grandson! As to the fit thing, don't need it. The degree of tangle in my sheets tells me if I slept well and my feet tell me exactly how many steps I've taken *grin*
I so want a Fitbit now!! Gosh what a great review blog–but the Fitbit–is something I have to check out!!
Cheers, Jenn

Your canvas art is WONDERFUL! And the book? It sounds great, too. That Fitbit, though…I really want that! I have a pedometer, but it's nothing like this!!
Great reviews! I was wondering what the fitbit was! Awesome canvas too! The quote from the book? Hilarious. Kids say funny stuff!
good, informational post. i think i will have to get myself one of those 'fitbits' sounds fun.
