Jump Start Get Moving Family Fitness Review and Giveaway

Anyone who knows my family knows that my son loves video games. He would play them every waking hour of every day if we let him. As a just barley 5 year old, it is hard to find games for the Wii that he can play. One that he always wants to play is Wii Fit, but if we let him play it, he quickly gets frustrated because he is too light and the game does not always recognize his actions on the balance board, and many of the other activities are far too advanced for him. So, imagine my excitement when I found out that JumpStart was going to be coming out with a Wii Fit for Kids, so to speak. It is called Get Moving Family Fitness and it was designed with the help of fitness expert, Brook Burke.

What better way to make sure your kid is getting exercise while playing video games? This will be especially beneficial during the upcoming, long and cold Iowa winter!

There are many activities that kids can choose from, including games like Volleyball, Basketball and even things like Dodge ball and Pinball. And of course, since this a JumpStart game, your child will be able to design their person, or the "Jumpee", choosing hair, eyes, clothing and more!

The only issue we have ran into is that sometimes Caiden had a hard time getting his Jumpee on the game recognize his movements, but I have a feeling he just may not be doing the movements exact enough. It might also help if we had the Wii Motion Plus.

All in all, I think this is an excellent game for your children to keep them moving, especially when they aren't able to get outside! Get Moving can be found in stores for the low price of $29.99, which is a great price for a brand spankin' new Wii game! And if that isn't a good enough deal for you, how would you like to win one for free? Yep, FREE!!!

Change is good

I posted earlier about some upcoming changes. As you know we moved last month. So far, the changes have gone well. Caiden and Bennett both adjusted well to their new rooms and their new beds. We have a much longer drive to daycare everyday, which has been ok for the boys too. Bennett talks for while and then goes to sleep, and Caiden watches a movie. In August when Caiden starts school, we will have a much shorter commute, not having to drive all the way across town anymore. School is less than a mile from our house, and Bennett's daycare is in between our house and school! I'm not sure what I will do with all that extra time!

Of course, as soon as we move to the new house, they are going to start road construction on our main road we use to get anywhere. There will be no access to that road starting next week, or so the sign says. Not sure how far the road will be closed, but I'm hoping not too far, so I'm not driving way out of my way. An hour long commute, twice a day, with two kids is long enough for me, thank you.

Caiden's 5th birthday is coming up as well. Excited to have all the family over to the new house...just hope it is ready by then! We are getting there. The kitchen, boys' room, our room, bathrooms, playroom are all done. The living room is close...we even got some pictures hung on the wall today!

I'm also letting Caiden take 4 friends to Chucky Cheese for his birthday. This will be the first time he has been there (me too)...but he is just dying to go. This will also be his first birthday party with friends...wish me luck!! It's only for 2 hours, how bad could it be? We shall see...stay tuned.

Finally, I know I have been promising a review, and it is still coming. Hoping to post it this weekend. I'll give you a hint...it is a kid's Wii game...and there is a giveaway with the review. You don't want to miss it!

Until next time...have a good weekend :)
