Synopsis: 



Disney’s talking canine superstars are back in “Treasure Buddies,” their 6th all-new adventure. This latest story is told from the perspective of the Buddies’ newest friend, a mischievous Egyptian monkey named Babi. As Babi tells us, more than 40 years ago a young archeologist named Thomas Howard, travelled to Egypt with his dog Digger to search for the lost necklace of Cleocatra. They managed to discover half of an artifact, the Bronze of Bastet, but their find triggered a booby-trapped cave-in, which they barely escaped. Forty years later, Thomas is living in Fernfield where he manages a museum. Digger’s grandpups, Rosebud, B-Dawg, Budderball, Buddha and Mudbud also live in Fernfield and, in fact, Mudbud belongs to Thomas’ grandson, Pete.



Thomas is about to close his museum due to lack of funding when he gets a visit from a mysterious stranger, Dr. Philip Wellington, who...&lt;br/&gt;

This week has been very challenging for me as I have pneumonia.  I finally decided I had better get my behind to the doctor and I am sure lucky that I did.  No wonder I've been dragging, feeling a serious lack of energy and not able to kick this cold that I've had since around January 7th!  



Here are the stats to show my progress in my "Get Healthy Challenge":

Start Weight:  190 pounds

End of Week 1:  185 pounds

End of Week 2:  183 pounds

End of Week 3:  182 pounds



Starting BMI:  28.9

End of Week 1 BMI:  28.1

End of Week 2 BMI:  27.8

End of Week 2 BMI:  27.7



My goal is to reach a normal BMI which would be 24.9 at 164 pounds and from there, I plan to reassess.



Something that I have learned in the past few weeks is...&lt;br/&gt;

January tends to be a catch up month for me.  It's about putting away holiday decorations, re-organizing, decluttering, cleaning and getting back to life as usual.



I start to enjoy the less chaotic life and before I know it, it is Superbowl and then January is gone.  There are only 14 days in February before Valentine's Day and those 14 days fly by.



This year, I have already received so many emails in my inbox about Valentine's Day Flowers on sale, gifts for her and Valentine's Day crafts.



I love Valentine's day but believe it or not, it's not because of Valentines Day gifts for her!  In fact, I often tell my husband to skip the flowers and this year, he knows to stay far, FAR away from the chocolate.



I love spoiling my family, the people I love, with fun homemade cards, crafts and fun Valentine's Day food.  I tend to go all out with pink and red hearts and flowers EVERYTHING.



So,...&lt;br/&gt;

This is just one of the reasons why, Wubbzy and the Fire Engine on DVD is such a great show for him!  He is at the perfect age and has the specific interest in learning about that topic!



One of the things that I love about Wow! Wow! Wubbzy episodes is how they incorporate various social skills into each one.  Social skills are extremely important for preschoolers to learn as they prepare themselves for formal school experiences.



Included in Wubbzy and the Fire Engine, there are lessons about helping out, working together and getting the job done.  All of these skills are important to learn for success.



Other Wow! Wow! Wubbzy episodes support a variety of preschool social skills including:  sharing, listening, compromising, helping and appreciating others, self-awareness and the use of humor as a coping skill.

The goal is to lower your Alexa ranking while picking up some great comments, and perhaps even some new followers. It's a hop, in that you move from blog to blog, But it's not a hop in that we want you to do more then just quickly jump from one spot to another. We want you to Stop &amp; Share. 



First things first YOU MUST HAVE THE ALEXA TOOLBAR INSTALLED TO TAKE PART. (You want this on your computer, it constantly helps you as well as every blog you visit. Directions here.)



Next, link up one of your favourite posts from the past week, one that you think deserves some comment love. Then make your way through the list visiting blogs and leaving comments. We ask that you TAKE TIME TO READ THE POST AND LEAVE A GENUINE COMMENT, something...&lt;br/&gt;

From Healthy Starts Here by Mairlyn Smith PHEc (Whitecap)







I have never liked Brussel Sprouts, but who knew you could eat them raw!  They taste great - especially in this slaw recipe.  I am so excited to have found this recipe.  I added cauliflower to mine as well.





Ingredients:

1 lb (500 g) broccoli = one large bunch

1 cup (250 mL) Brussels sprouts

½ medium red onion

1 large red pepper

1 large orange pepper

2 large carrots, scrubbed well, unpeeled



Dressing:

½ cup (125 mL) apple cider vinegar – pure apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp (30 mL) extra virgin oil

1 tsp (5 mL) grainy Dijon mustard

1 tsp (5 mL) honey



To make your life easier you really need to make this with a food processor. If you don’t own one, either thinly slice or grate the veggies, ask for a food processor as a gift, or run out and buy one today. It’s one of my favourite toys in the kitchen.

Let’s assume you own a food processor – using the thinnest slicing...&lt;br/&gt;

How Do You Feed a Hungry Giant? A Munch-and-Sip Pop up Book by Caitlin Friedman is an adorable, well constructed pop up book for children.



This book is about a young boy named Oscar who finds himself with a challenge:  How do you feed a hungry giant?  Oscar opens his door one day to find a VERY HUNGRY giant in his yard.  Oscar uses his creativity in attempt to feed this giant, but he ends up emptying the entire fridge.



The interactive fun in this book including pull tabs and pop ups add that extra amount of excitement for a young child.



Both of my children enjoyed reading this book with me.  We enjoy reading stories together every day and this one was especially fun.  



I liked the message in this book about helping others in need.  Both Oscar and his mother are very giving characters in this lovely story.

Luved Clothing is designed to be used for casual daytime wear or more elegant evening wear and it comes in a variety of designs and colours.  The majority of Luved Tops are made from the softest fleece I have ever felt!  Because of its unique softeness, it does "shed" for the first few wears.  However, after a handful of wash and dry cycles, the top gets softer and "sheds" much less becoming a super cozy, comfy, versatile and fun top!



I absolutely love my Cole Top in dusty green!  Every time I wear it out, I receive compliments about it.  People comment about how comfortable it looks (and it is VERY comfy) as well as its unique look.



The tops come in "one size fits all" - however, if you aren't sure, they do have a specs guide on their site for how each top measures.



My sister, her best friend and I all have Luved Clothing tops.  All three of us have EXTREMELY different body shapes and the tops...&lt;br/&gt;

I've been on a hunt for some healthy recipes to make for myself and my family these past couple of weeks and I am happy to report that I have found some.



As you may or may not know, I've been on a "Get Healthy" Challenge using the  My Healthy Weight Action Plan on the Heart and Stroke Foundation website.  You can read about my experience here and here.



Here are some recipes that I've tried out in the last couple of weeks that I believe to be healthy:



Individual Cookie Dough Oatmeal Cake

Breakfast "Grab and Go" Cookies

Biggest Loser Oatmeal Pancakes

Sweet and Salty Roasted ChickPeas

Brussels Sprouts and Broccoli Slaw



I've also found some great healthy recipe resources:

Heart and Stroke Foundation Recipes

Mairlyn Smith's "Healthy Cooking with Seasoned Laughter"

Chocolate Covered Katie



Do you have any favourite recipe websites where you like to find healthy recipes?...&lt;br/&gt;

Feel free to get caught up on previous posts:  Week 1, Week 2



I am so excited to share that I feel like I succeeded in Week 2 of my "Let's Get Healthy" Challenge too!  By no means is this journey easy for me.  Quite the contrary, however, it is getting slightly easier day by day!

Start Weight:  190 pounds

End of Week 1:  185 pounds

End of Week 2:  183 pounds



Starting BMI:  28.9

End of Week 1 BMI:  28.1

End of Week 2 BMI:  27.8



My goal is to reach a normal BMI which would be 24.9 at 164 pounds and from there, I plan to reassess.



I would like to start off by saying that I have received so much positive support people this week and I truly appreciate it.  Every single comment on my "Get Healthy Journey" helps me to stay motivated to keep doing this.  On the days that I am finding myself...&lt;br/&gt;
