So, I chose the comfy <a href="http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/cruiser/calypso/calypsowmn/">Trek Calyspo</a> cruiser bike 2010, in pearl/pink/brown. The bike is decked out with 7 speeds, hand breaks, chainguard, fenders, a bike basket, a bell, & more. Besides enjoying my new bike, I'm having fun accessorizing! Hubby is getting me the very fashionable <a href="http://www.yakkay.com/">Yakkay</a> bike helmet during his next business trip. I am consulting with Tara at <a href="http://www.bettybasketliners.com/index.html">Betty Basket Liners</a> to purchase a very chic custom hand made bike basket liner that converts to a handbag - it's a <span style="font-style: italic;">substantial bike basket liner and designer purse in one</span>!<br /><br />My 5 year old daughter just learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. So, she chose the Trek <a href="http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/kids/ages_6_9/mystic20/">Mystic 20</a> bike 2010, in hot pink. The bike is decked out with coaster & hand breaks, streamers, a bike basket, a bell, & more.<br /><br />My 3 year old son who's been riding a tricycle just learned how to pedal a bike with training wheels. So he has inherited a friend's Specialized <a href="http://www.specialized.com/zz/en/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=47707&eid=4360&menuItemId=9270">Hotrock 16</a> boys bike, in blue. His birthday is not until the very end of the year, so his motivation to "pick out" his own brand new bike will be to learn how to ride without training wheels.<br /><br />My husband hasn't had his own bike since he was a child, so he was super excited to research & pick out his brand new bike. He wanted a bike he could enjoy while riding with our young kids but also enjoy while riding with his friends, some who are avid mountain bikers. So, he chose the Diamondback <a href="http://www.diamondback.com/bikes/mtn-hardtail/2009-mtn-hardtail-bikes/response-sport-09/">Response Sport</a> mountain bike 2009, in blue. The bike is </span></span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">decked out with a sturdy but light aluminum frame, SRAM x-4 8 speed trigger shifters, disc brakes, & more.</span></span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br />We are all super excited that spring is finally here.

Simply toss a laundry sheet into your washing machine along with each load, and the blue detergent portion releases during the wash cycle. When the wash cycle is complete, simply transfer the laundry sheet to the dryer along with the wash load. The heat of the dryer activates the softening and anti-static ingredients, leaving laundry clean, soft and freshly scented. It’s that simple. The days of waiting for the rinse cycle are now over.</blockquote></span></span></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j7PHDOaBHCo/SiV7JyoxSZI/AAAAAAAAARI/BuKI0lxIuco/s1600-h/afcfc060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j7PHDOaBHCo/SiV7JyoxSZI/AAAAAAAAARI/BuKI0lxIuco/s200/afcfc060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342811941086775698" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">For me, laundry is not so fun.

Ohhhh, let me tell you, the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> is a purse hook, purse accessory, AND a bracelet all in one. Basically, the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> is a purse hook that can hang on the outside of your handbag as an accessory or can be worn as a bracelet!</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">My sister gave me a purse hook a couple of years ago for Christmas. When I got it, I thought cool, at restaurants I can hang my purse next to me, right off the table. No longer is my purse on the floor (ewe germs) and I no longer am I awkwardly leani</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">ng back against it behind my back on the chair. Well this novelty lasted for maybe a month. Very soon, I diverted back to my old habits because I was too lazy to dig through my purse, to search for that little purse hook that seemed to always find its way to the bottom of my purse.</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Then while cyber shopping/surfing, I discovered the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> and thought genius! The <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> stands for Fashionable, Unique, Multi-purpose, & Innovation... so I was quite eager to check it out for myself.</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nSxmTMFum9E&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nSxmTMFum9E&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />I was rea</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">lly excited when the package arrived and tested out the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> immediately. I got the sil</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">ver "Charming" <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> which goes perfectly with my <a href="http://www.coach.com/">COACH</a> purse. This is my everyday handbag which my friends teasingly call the "mommy purse" because it probably weighs as </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">much as a full size diaper bag. My purse is always stocked with the essentials: <a href="http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=833&subcategory=834&product=18108">Pull Ups</a>, baby wipes, pocket snacks, wallet, checkbook, make-up bag, mini 1st aid kit, camera, <a href="http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=833&subcategory=834&product=18108">VADO</a> digital cam, sunglasses, keys, <a href="http://www.iphone.com/">iphone</a>, the works. This makes my purse pretty darn heavy so I was quite impressed with how the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> kept it all in check, balancing perfectly on the edge of the table keeping my purse up and off the floor with ease. Even better, when I walked into a bathroom stall and found no hook. The <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> hangs nicely over the stall, keeping my purse germ free. The <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> now has a permanent home, stylishly clipped to the outside of my purse so that I always have it. I love how the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> is light enough to </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">wear on my wrist as a bracelet, yet strong enough to keep my heavy "mommy p</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">urse" hooked-up and off the floor.</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j7PHDOaBHCo/SgC_36O1eeI/AAAAAAAAANQ/ZUKCbdVHPaE/s1600-h/FUMI-both.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 136px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j7PHDOaBHCo/SgC_36O1eeI/AAAAAAAAANQ/ZUKCbdVHPaE/s400/FUMI-both.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332472926051858914" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Whether you carry a tiny handbag or a mega "mommy purse" like me, the <a href="http://www.pursehook.net/cgi-bin/ua/discount.cgi/adiwaly">FUMI</a> is a must have!
