Here are the randon.org numbers:

I received an email from Zelosport asking if I’d like have my family try one of their table top games. I was all, “What? Fun? Bring it!”

Zelosport makes table top football, soccer, baseball, and golf games.

I decided we’d try out the football game, and got to choose our own team – of course I chose the Seahawks mat! We live in the Seattle area, and are therefore Seahawks fans.

Also, after my kids pass gas, instead of “excuse me”, they say “GO SEAHAWKS!” It’s true.

This is not my family. I didn’t want to show my messy house.

The Zelosport mat is a smooth and sturdy. The game comes with instructions, and the pieces needed for play (dice, foam ball, ring markers). Our family found it was a little complicated to fully integrate the rules… so we adjusted a bit and found it fun to flick around the foam football and zoom the rings and pieces… setting our own passing goals and whathaveyou.

If football is not your “thing”, Zelosport also has mats for baseball, soccer, golf… Visit Zelosports for more information! By the way if you decide one of these games might be a fun holiday gift – be sure to use this link or type the code “Jenny” at checkout — you will receive 10% off your own game purchase!

Hey! Would you like to win a game for yourself? Would you ALSO like to be able give away one of these games to a charity of your choice? It’s almost Christmas! Zelosports is giving a free game for two commenters AND a game for each winner’s charity of choice!

We got rid of television 2 months ago.

We did it to save money. 2 months ago we had a Direct TV bill. Today, we do not.

And I like it.

And I don’t miss TV.

Why?

Because of site like Fancast.

The skinny:

Fancast debuted in January 2008 and now has more than 10,000 hours of online video programming; with more than 60,000 videos available, including over 13,000 full-length shows (more are being added every day)

Fancast aggregates TV content from more than 100 sources (including Hulu by the way), and Fancast has more TV extras than any other site including: movies, pictorials, blogs, listings, live chats and Q&A’s with stars, and much more.

This means I can watch choice shows on my own timeline. I have access to more shows too. There are commercials, but they are limited.

You should check out Fancast. It’s free and easy. If you are a Mac user (like me), you will need to do a little download. It was quick and easy. No headache… all leading to free on-demand entertainment on the web. A great choice for busy families!
