That’s right. It’s that time of year again. Time for what’s become a pre-Super Bowl tail-gating tradition in our house: watching Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl. And it’s the team of frisky pups getting their game on that truly puts the “tail” in tail-gating!

“The Super Bowl Shuffle”

Dig out your spandex—the “Super Bowl Shuffle” is back! I may be dating myself, but the truth must be told: when I was in high school my friends and I did busta move to the 80s hit. Members of the Chicago Bears football team recorded the song in 1985. It sold more than 500,000 singles and reached No. 41 on the music charts. Now, the cheeky little ditty has fans shuffling again as this year’s team prepares for tomorrow’s Super Bowl. According to Chicago radio stations, the “Shuffle” is the most requested tune on the air. It can also be … Continue reading →

Entertaining: Last Minute Super Bowl Party Ideas

Now that we know which teams will be facing each other in the Super Bowl, it’s a little easier to decorate. Since both teams have blue in their uniforms and logos, you might want to go with blue to keep it simple. However, the Colts blue is more of a royal blue, while the Bears blue is a navy. Royal blue and white on one side of the room and navy with orange on the other is a good scheme, if you want to decorate in a neutral fashion. If you’re not sure which of your guests are cheering for … Continue reading →

Super Bowl Slip Up

The countdown is on–just four more days until the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts face off in Super Bowl XLI. While both teams get settled in Miami, their respective hometowns are making game day preparations of their own–some with more success than others. Yesterday, efforts to honor the NFC Champion Chicago Bears hit a snag—a huge Fiberglass football helmet broke as it was being placed on the head of one of the lion statues that stands guard outside the Art Institute of Chicago. Project managers blame the weather. For those of you who don’t live in the Great Lakes, … Continue reading →

Are You Hosting A Super Bowl Party?

I was standing in the express lane at Wal-Mart this afternoon hoping to pay for my laundry detergent and package of paper towels quickly. I figured I had a good chance since the guy in front of me only had one item in his cart. Man, was I wrong, wrong, wrong. His one item happened to be a 32-inch flat screen TV and before he had time to reach for his wallet, five (and I do mean five) Wal-Mart employees swarmed him like ants on jelly. I still don’t know what all the fuss was about (it’s not like he … Continue reading →

Mom Does Hubby a Great Favor and Gives Birth Early

My husband may win Superdad of the Year award–he’s great. But I have to say, he most certainly did not start out that way. For each of my singleton births, my husband got progressively worse. He did everything from saying: “Oh honey, you can push harder. It can’t be that difficult,” to asking me to wait before I had a contraction because after all. . .he was busy watching Sports Center on ESPN! The only reason he was not this way at the birth of the twins is that I explained to him in no uncertain terms that he had … Continue reading →
