Post Water Park Exhaustion

Guest post written by Courtney Gibson

I try to stay active with my kids, which can be quite the task will a full-time job and lots of mommy errands to run! But part of staying active is trying to encourage us going on active family outings so that my kids will associate exercise with fun! I wasn't always lucky enough to do that myself growing up so I really want to instill that in them.

I was online not too long ago looking for new day outings to take them on this summer. That's when I saw http://www.clear-internet.com and signed up our household for the service.

That day I also got the idea to take them to the water park, so that's exactly what I did just a few days ago. We went on a Saturday when my husband could go to, just to make sure that we all kept up with each other. It was really fun and I'm always glad to swim because it's such fun and good exercise! Now we'll just have to make a few trips back there this summer because my kids loved it so much!

a few details: From a French-Morracan Styled Apartment (a re-blog)


Two apartments combined into one made it possible for the owner of this home to bring Morocco and the influence of Mediterranean Africa in a small town near Paris. From the entrance you can feel the blue mood, which goes from one room to another. Parallel with it you can feel the femininity and exoticness in the details - gorgeous wooden furniture, impressive textile and amazing decoration.


I just love the arrangements with hands of Fatima on the wall. It is popular amulet throughout the Middle East and North Africa and represents a protection against people with bad intentions and ill-wishers.



Два апартамента, комбинирани в едно дават възможност на собственичката на този дом да пренесе Мароко във френско градче близо до Париж. Още от вратата се създава едно синьо настроение, което преминава от стая в стая. Успоредно с това се усеща и женственост и екзотичност в детайлите - мебели от масивно и старо дърво, впечатляващ текстил и чудни декорации.


Аз специално особено харесвам аранжимента с ръката на Фатима - това е много популярен амулет в Средния Изток и Северна Африка, който се използва за предпазване от лоши очи и недоброжелатели.

Resort 2012: Calvin Klein Collection

On Wednesday morning, Francisco Costa showed his Resort 2011 collection at CK HQ on 39th Street, and in case you were wondering, minimalism isn't going anywhere. Of course, it's only Costa who manages to execute this vibe with such a light touch and effortless effect. With t-shirt dressing as a starting point, the twenty looks brilliantly played with length and volume. Billowing silk pants, paired with a tailored jacket, are an updated option for Summer's ubiquitous maxi skirt, while Costa's take on a sheath—elbow-length, with a slightly fuller skirt that narrows a few inches below the knee—is another welcome transgression from the norm. With a palette of mostly black, white, royal blue, and lilac, there was nary a bright in sight—but then again, Costa never needs to shout.

LeAnn Rimes In A Bikini On Twitter, Defending Her Weight (PHOTOS)

(a re-blog)
LeAnn Rimes took to Twitter over the weekend to show off photos of herself in a string bikini on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, where she and Eddie Cibrian are honeymooning.
Some fans were alarmed by her extremely thin appearance. "@leannrimes Whoa, you're scary skinny! Sorry don't mean to offend but that's a lot of bones showing through skin..." one wrote.
LeAnn replied, "@AJPaterson1987 those are called abs not bones love."
Later on she tweeted about a fast food stop in the airport.
"Boston Dog's sliders and French fries in the Cabo airport are so good! Anyone coming here try them!!!" she wrote.
This is not the first time LeAnn has shared a bikini pic or defended her weight and healthy eating habits on Twitter.
