As pets get older sometimes they have trouble getting around, just like people do. In dogs some early signs of mobility problems can be that they lag behind while walking or are less playful and less active. According to Hill’s Pet Nutrition 1 in 5 dogs has joint health issues or mobility problems.
Recess is not just most kids favorite part of the school day, it is important too. Lack of physical activity in children has lead to a growing epidemic of childhood obesity. Plus kids just learn better when they get a break to run around, burn off energy, get fresh air and recharge. Despite this over the past twenty years children have lost an average of 8 hours of recess a week, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
To help get people more aware of the importance of recess Dannon Danimals is sponsoring the Rally For Recess contest. This contest will benefit 5 different schools across the nation. By entering codes from specially marked Danimals packages you can enter to win a $20,000 playground makeover for your school plus an “ultimate recess day”. They have different categories based on the size of the school, so all size schools have a chance to win. And there are instant win prizes also, so more than just the winning schools will benefit. The instant win prize are all recess related, like kickball sets and basketballs.
Sonsi is an online shopping and social destination designed exclusively for plus-size women. Although the fashion industry is geared toward skinny models, the reality is that about 60% of American women wear sizes 12 and up, and I am in that 60%. So a site that allows larger women, like me, to select stylish clothes online is exciting.
Sonsi was launched just over a year ago and has over 380 brands of plus-sized women’s clothes and accessories. They recently introduced the new “Style Your Way™ outfitting tool” which lets women of all shapes and sizes into the world of fashion styling. This tool allows you to pick different clothes and accessories and see how they all work together. Once you have an outfit created you can save it, or share it with your friends to get their opinion.

I’m always looking for contests to enter, and Disney is running a great one right now to promote their upcoming movie MARS NEEDS MOMS. In this movie a nine-year-old boy, Milo, goes on a quest to save his mom from Martians, an adventure that involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader. Since Milo is going a quest, Disney is giving away a Nissan Quest, which is an amazing prize. You can enter the sweepstakes here.
This sounds like a cute and funny movie, which will be in theaters starting March 11th. You can learn more about the movie at the MARS NEEDS MOMS Facebook page.
