Some days it’s hard to remember to even speak to your spouse, let alone try to make time for some romance. Here are a few things you can do for your hubby to remind him that he is still important to you:

1. Aim for giving him a compliment every day. Tell him how nice he looks, what a great dad you think he is, how thankful you are that he works hard, etc. Just come up with something nice to say to him everyday.
2. Send him an email, a text-message or an IM just to say hi or I love you.
3. Give him a card and write a nice note in it about how much he means to you.
4. Buy him tickets to see a favorite sporting event.
5. Let him watch whatever he wants on TV without any complaining from you.
6. Give him a nice back rub without expecting one in return.
7. Leave him a little note in his car telling him how much you appreciate him.
8. Cuddle under the electric blanket.
9. Listen to him when he talks to you. Stop whatever you are doing and just listen.

I know that most people out there would like to lose some weight.  Considering that more than half of the people in the US are overweight, I know this is of interest to many people.  So, what can you do to lose some of those unwanted pounds?

Obviously, you can eat less.  Watch how many calories you are eating.  And make healthy choices for the calories you are eating.  Don’t fill up on chips and cookies when you could be eating broccoli and chicken instead.  At the same time, don’t deprive yourself of those occasional treats or you will eventually cave in and eat too much.  Eating the things you enjoy in moderation usually works the best.

Exercise.  People love to use the excuse that they just don’t have time to exercise.  Funny thing is, you have time to be on the computer, to watch TV, to read a book, etc.  Take 20-30 minutes each day and set it aside for exercise.

Depending on how overweight you are, you might need to talk to your doctor about weight loss supplement reviews if you should take diet pills or maybe even weight loss surgery.  Whatever weight loss plan you do decide to go with- talk to your doctor and then get started.  Stop wasting time!

We recently redid our deck in our back yard.  My husband and my dad ripped out our old deck and built an all new much improved deck.  It really changed how our back yard looks.  We have had several of our neighbors comment about how much better it looks.  After the deck was finished my husband did some work on our patio as well as adding some new patio furniture to really improve how things look.  I love the new look and can’t wait to do some entertaining!

Do you wonder how many calories you are burning during a typical day?  Many times you can estimate how much you are burning.  Today I was checking out BodyBuilding.com and they have a neat calculator to help you get a true number of calories burned.  You have to enter your weight to get a more accurate measure.  Check out the calorie burning calculator to see how much you’re burning… or to help you come up with ideas for new ways to burn calories. You can also do some research and find out what the best natural fat burners options are.

Now you know all about the various hotels you can stay in while you’re at Disney World.  And you know about all four of the parks as well as the two water parks.  What else is there to know about?  Food, of course.

I most definitley recommend that you purchase the Magic Your Way Plus Dining package.  Eating at the parks in Disney World can be very expensive- but with this package it is completely affordable.  Having to leave the park every time you want to eat is very time consuming, so you waste a lot of time if you plan to leave the parks for every meal.

How does the dining package work?  If you purchase the basic package (my choice)- for each night you stay in Disney you will receive this:

• One quick service meal
• One table service meal
• One snack

For your quick service meal and your table service meal you will get an appetizer, your meal, a dessert and a drink.  Your snack can be used for treats like ice cream or can even be used for small breakfast items.  This package is way more than enough food and you’ll need to take best diet pills when you get home!

There are other choices for food packages, be sure to visit 2009 Packages to see the other options.

So, now that you’re all excited about all of the parks that there are to visit in Disney World I’m sure you’re thinking about where you want to stay while you’re there.  I would highly recommend staying at a Disney property hotel- and I covered my reasons for that back in my first post of this series- Disney Tips.  If you’d like to take that advice- here are some choices that you pick from in choosing your hotel.

There are value resorts you pick from which start at only $82 per night and there are four different themed resorts to pick from. The next level of resorts are the moderate resorts and they start at $149 per night and there are five different themed resorts to pick from. The deluxe resorts start at $225 per night and have eight different themed resorts you will be able to pick from. Finally there are nine different themed resorts to choose from in the deluxe villa resorts and they start at $265 per night. So, as you can see there are choices in all price ranges. If you’re interested in having plasma tvs in your hotel you can look up that information too.

If you’d like to see a comparison sheet you can check that out at the Disney site where you will be able to see what the different levels of resorts have to offer as well as the prices of each choice.

On your next trip to Disney I highly recommend that you visit Blizzard Beach.  No need to bring your laptop, it’s a water park. Like all of the Disney attractions, Blizzard Beach has been amazingly decorated according to its theme.  The theme being a beach in the winter time.  And when you are visiting Florida in the hot summer this is the perfect place to spend a day.  When you visit make sure you check out these attractions:

1. Cross Country Creek- you get to plop into an inner-tube and float all the way around the park.  You can stay on as long as you want.  It’s the perfect way to relax.
2. Tike’s Peak- a fun area for the little ones to play.
3. Teamboat Springs- the whole family can hop onto a family sized raft for a fun trip down the mountain.
4. Summit Plummet- You get to slide down a 12 story tall water slide- an amazingly exciting water slide!

Check out the Blizzard Beach site to plan out your entire day.  And, since the water parks close early you’ll be able to head on over to one of the other parks for the evening.

When you’re planning your Disney trip you can’t forget about going to the Water Parks.  If you are there during the hot summer months you may want to spend the majority of your time at these amazing water parks.  First up, I’ll cover Typhoon Lagoon- a fun filled day of wet rides.  You have to see these attractions:

1. The wave pool- and this is nothing like any wave pool you’ve ever seen before.  It’s one of the largest in the world and waves are huge.
2. Castaway Creek- you get into an inner tube and float around the park.  You can stay on this ride as long as you want and it is incredibly relaxing. glass tile
3. Ketchakiddie Creek- a fun play area, perfect for the little ones.
4. Shark Reef- you get to enjoy some amazing saltwater snorkeling where you’ll see tropical fish.

There is a lot more to see, so make sure you check out the Typhoon Lagoon site.  The water parks close earlier than the other parks, so once you finish your day there you can head to one of the other theme parks for the evening.
