A Mom's Exercise Video
That's right! I have stooped this low. This is how I exercise. Hey, it entertains Miss Madi, and it really is great cardio. Plus, it allows naptimes and bedtimes to be my time, not my exercise time.
Yes, I am a Wiggle's Exercise Addict, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do! When it comes to exercise, if I have to do it at 9pm after the boys are in bed and I'm exhausted, then that's when I have to do it. End of discussion.
I do wonder...is that guy really playing the guitar and dancing around at the same time, or is he just pretending to play it?
I don't know if he really plays and dances at the same time, but I do think he really plays. Two of the other wiggles play instruments as well--keyboard and drums. Who knows what they are capable of while dancing?
Grab your paint brush, hammer, and gardening gloves, and join Josh & Kelly as they transform their newly-purchased, neglected, and out-of-date house into a newly-remodeled, loving, and contemporary home where they can live comfortably with their 10 month old daughter, Madilyn and cat, Izzy. Be prepared for laughs, challenges, and mistakes as they take on this seemingly overwhelming task!

Whatever gets you moving! I have incorporated Denise Austin videos into our home school curriculum. We called it, P.E.
I am glad you liked the Graham Greene book! That one and "Power and the Glory" are my favorites.
