Okay, so everyone knows that baseball season is upon us. Here in the Cleveland, Ohio area, Tribe fans are already sporting their team logo shirts, hats, and more. My Grandma loves the Cleveland Indians, so I know she's thrilled that it's that time of year again...Even if Cleveland loses. A lot. There's some kind of curse on our teams, and we never seem to go all the way. That's alright, though. It's all about the love of the game, right?
Well in celebration of the upcoming release of Disney's "Million Dollar Arm" starring the fabulous Jon Hamm, there is a super fun contest that just may make one contestant a cool million dollars richer. (Yes, I said someone could win ONE MILLION DOLLARS!) Disney is giving amateur baseball pitchers in the nation a chance to compete for a $1 million prize in the Million Dollar Arm Pitching Contest. The Million Dollar Arm Pitching Contest is being held to celebrate the opening of Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm,” an incredible true story about two young men who went from never throwing a baseball to getting a Major League tryout. Amateur baseball pitchers—male or female, who are legal United States residents at least 18 years of age or older—are invited to qualify to compete in the preliminary rounds of the Million Dollar Arm Pitching Contest at either Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida, Disneyland® Resort in California or at the Tribeca/ESPN Sports Day at the Tribeca Family Festival in New York City. The three contestants from each location who throw the fastest pitches will advance to the finals and have a chance to compete for a $1 million prize at the world premiere of Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” in Hollywood, California. Official rules are available on Disney.com’s “Million Dollar Arm” homepage at http://movies.disney.com/million-dollar-arm/special-event. Presented by SUBWAY® restaurants, the three qualifying events will take place on April 25 and 26, from 7 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at both Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, Calif. and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World® and on April 26 only, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Tribeca/ESPN Sports Day during the Tribeca Family Festival in New York City. Contestants will throw three pitches, each tracked by a radar gun, in an attempt to throw the fastest pitch. All participants will receive tickets for themselves and a guest to see an advance screening of Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” at an AMC Theatres location later that evening. Nine finalists chosen during these qualifying events will have a chance to compete for the $1 million prize at the world premiere of Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm.” The top three eligible pitchers with the fastest pitches from each qualifying round location will be flown with his or her guest to the final contest, which will take place at the world premiere of Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” in Hollywood, Calif., on May 6. Each of these finalists will throw three pitches on Hollywood Boulevard. Any eligible finalist who throws one 100 mph strike (out of three pitches) will become a potential winner of the $1 million grand prize. The nine finalists and their guests will be VIPs at the film’s premiere along with stars, filmmakers, major league players, coaches, scouts and celebrities. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Subject to Official Rules available at event or at http://movies.disney.com/million-dollar-arm/special-event. STAY TUNED! I have a HUGE announcement to make soon regarding "MILLION DOLLAR ARM"! This is BIG, people....Really, really big!

Yes, he is sleeping with a stuffed animal as a pillow. It wasn't time for bed, and he claimed he was just "resting his eyes for a second." Famous last words in this house. Here's my husband snoozing again, this time sitting upright. Of course he denied he was going to sleep. He's never going to sleep, according to him. Even my Yorkie, Trouble, didn't buy it. I couldn't resist taking this photo. It's as if Trouble is saying, "Come on, Daddy....Not again! I want to play!"

You've probably got your Easter baskets made, eggs dyed, and the Sunday best outfits cleaned, ironed and ready to wear. On Easter Sunday, we will be heading to the Cleveland area to have a nice brunch with my Dad and stepmom, my 90-something year old Papa and tons of aunts, uncles and cousins. After we're done with that, we will be heading home for an Easter egg hunt and other activities.
Just like Easter egg hunts, Peeps seem to be a lasting Easter tradition. After all, who can resist cute and colorful marshmallow chicks? I remember enjoying Peeps when I was younger, and now my kids will be making their own Peeps memories. (Hopefully these memories will go far beyond "blowing them up" in the microwave, which is something my brother liked to do with his Peeps on Easter!) Peeps have come a long, long way since I was a kid. They offer a whole lot more than just marshmallow chicks. A whole lot more. I received a very nice assortment of Peeps products to check out for myself, and I'd love to share some of the fun varieties with you.

We've had a few absolutely gorgeous days here in NE Ohio, and this morning, we woke up to snow. (How does that even happen?!) Even if the temperatures are flip-flopping like crazy, it doesn't change the fact that pretty soon, it will be time to break out those bathing suits.
If you're like me, the thought of squeezing into a little spandex suit might elicit more than a little bit of dread. After having 3 c-sections, I have this annoying belly pooch that drives me absolutely insane and makes me want to avoid the beach or pool. Of course when you have kids who love swimming and playing in the water, you have to just accept the fact that the swimsuit will be a wardrobe staple during the warmer months, whether you like it or not. Still, it doesn't hurt to try and get in the best physical shape possible before breaking out those short shorts, summer dresses and swimsuits. After a long and insanely cold winter, I know I have packed on 10lbs that certainly weren't invited. Now it's time to get rid of them, hopefully once and for all. Anyone who knows me knows I hate exercise. If I get sweaty or if something hurts, I turn into a big baby. Still, I force myself to get on the treadmill 5 times a week since physical activity is super important for a healthy lifestyle. I'm not 18 anymore, after all. I need to keep my metabolism going at a good rate for burning away the extra pounds. I also help curb the urge to munch on unhealthy snacks by using supplements from Re-Body®. Their Meratrim supplements and Saffron Hunger Chews are a powerful ally in the battle against unwanted fat. The quest to find the perfect snack is now over!
