So here’s a scale for you avid weight-conscious enthusiasts. It’s the Ozeri Weight Master BMI Scale. We were given the opportunity to review this scale and must say, it’s quite the scale!
Ozeri Weight Master BMI Scale Features:
Is this scale for just one person?
The answer to that is no! Up to eight (8) people can input their personal data and the scale retains this information. All one needs to do is remember what Profile their number is.
Take a look at the screens:
This is the main screen before weighing oneself
After stepping on the scale, one’s weight is locked in once they’ve seen the screen flash twice. Right after that, one’s BMI will show up:
Screen seen after weight has been locked in. Top figure is person’s weight. Bottom figure is displaying the person’s BMI.
According to the chart found in the manual, the BMI of this person is in Normal Weight.
This green screen shows that the person with Profile 1 (P1) has lost 26.8 lbs over the last 3 (L3) weigh ins.
Should you gain weight – the dial will display in red:
This is for Profile 3 (P3) showing a weight gain of 16.6 lbs since the last weigh in (L1). **This figure reflects the weight of P3 and them holding one of our cats so that you can see how a gain displays.**
We had three of us checking our weights on the scale. The scale seem to provide accurate weights of all of us. It is recommended that you do not weigh yourself on a carpet – doing that distorts your weight.
One can purchase this scale at Amazon.com
Do you weigh yourself often? Do you have a BMI scale? What are your thoughts on these types of scales?

It’s summer. It’s hot. It was a great day spent at Water Country! Located in Portsmouth New Hampshire, not far from the NH seacoast, is where you’ll find this gem of a water park. A water park that is celebrating it’s 30th birthday this year (2014) that is up to speed with modern water rides & slides, concessions, cool pools – for fun to be had for everyone, including the flock of seagulls (herring gulls) – an added touch of feeling like you’re at the ocean!
Group of seagulls enjoying the pool
Water Country invited us to be 2014’s Brand Ambassador and we were more than happy to accept. We were provided the luxury (for us) of having a cabana. Ours was one that was located above the wave pool that overlooked the Wave Pool. Being a bright sunny day, the view looking out of the cabana and into the park was gorgeous.
View we experienced in stepping just a few feet outside the cabana. You can see the Wave Pool and a SMALL portion of the park.
There are several cabana options to choose from. Some have table sets with lounge chairs and others don’t. Some are larger than others are with smaller tables and chairs. Some are just a simple little cabana with two lounge chairs. Regardless of the size and contents, they all overlook the pool or are poolside. And, one is sure to feel like they are a part of the excitement, while lounging around in style. The cabanas are a great amenity for those who just want to lounge around or can’t be in the sun – it actually doesn’t matter what the reason is – it is just nice to know that they have a place for those who wish to be shaded comfortably.
Our cabana overlooking the Wave Pool
Part of the luxury of utilizing a cabana is that one can take advantage of ‘Food Service.’ One can consider ‘Food Service’ to be just like having room service at a hotel. Alternatively, one can actually either bring in their own food and drinks, or you can eat at one of the many food kiosks and stands.
Water Country actually lets you bring food and drink in coolers into the park provided you aren’t bringing in glass containers, alcohol or BBQ items. There are several picnic areas throughout the water park. Those are amenities that most parks do not allow/have.
Visitors actually feel safe enough to leave their coolers right at their chosen picnic table. But visitors beware! If you’re leaving your food out on the tables or chairs – you could experience thieves of the “feather” kind! We watched a seagull empty a Goldfish bag. We watched another help himself to loaves of bread. They fight each other over their treasures – they don’t fight fair either! It’s just like seeing them at the ocean. You’ll find seagulls flying about throughout the park. They perch above the concession stands. They walk the cement. They are fun to watch.
For those valuables that are better off locked up like money, watches, camers, Water Country has lockers you can rent. They come in two sizes and are priced accordingly.
Water Country has no boundaries to catering to individuals of all ages where rides are concerned. There are water areas designed just for young children and then there are those rides for the ones who love excitement. If you’d rather take it slow and easy – there are water rides and slides catering to those individuals. You’ll see baby boomers experiencing the fun of the rides and lounging about.
This is (below) the Tahiti Tree House. It’s an area designed for older children (up to 54″). There’s a lot to do in this area. There are several slides, fun water guns, sprockets of water that come out of everywhere and see that big cup at the very top? He fills up with water and once it’s full – he tips over! A huge splash of water hits those near and far!
For parents whose children are able to play alone on this fabulous water adventure – there are chairs directly across from the Tahiti Hut to sit in. The chairs aren’t as far away as they appear in the picture – you can rest assured that you can keep a close eye on your kids.
You see that black and purple tubing up on the left? That is Dr. Von Dark’s Tunnel of Terror. Here’s a closer look at that water ride slide:
Now, I went on that once, and you won’t ever find me on it again in this lifetime! Not being able to see what’s coming ahead – um yes, I’m good on not going there again. It’s dark in there and it’s raging! Rather, you’ll see me sitting in one of those lounge chairs basking in the sun long before that will happen again! That said, the Dr. Von Dark’s Tunnel of Terror water slide – is a HUGE hit with many.
Myself, I prefer the Adventure River (below). I could ride around on a tube all day long. One is not to worry – you will get wet as you travel the river. There are sprockets of water coming out from the sides of the river walls. There are falls of water coming down on you as you pass under the bridges.
Here’s another children’s slide – meet Ollie Octopus…younger children seem to enjoy Ollie. I would have taken advantage of Ollie’s slides, but he doesn’t cater to adults 🙁
Here’s a slide that is quite the trip – it drops pretty much 58′ straight down – Double Geronimo:
Don’t think that Water Country is just for kids, teens, or young adults! They cater to the parents and grand parents of children. They have ADA pool lifts for those with disabilities (using the pool lift would mean that either – the individual would need to be able to stand and pivot or they would need to be able to be picked up and placed in the lift. There is no lift to lift the said individual with the disability out of their chair and into the pool lift). There are facilities for those who use wheelchairs.
Looking for a group activity? Water Country welcomes groups! The day we visited there were groups from several different organizations. I ran into a woman while waiting for the kids to finish a ride and we got to talking. She had developmental disabilities and was visiting with a group from Massachusetts. She was just so happy to be there even though she was allergic to the sun. She felt the excitement. She saw the excitement. She felt the splashes of water from some of the rides. She was having fun! Then there were several other groups of children visiting from – I don’t know where – but they surely were having a blast!
The park opens at 10:30 AM and I would highly suggest that you get there close to opening time (There are days when the park’s hours are slightly different. Be sure to check the calendar prior to heading to the water park). There’s so much to do and as with any type of amusement park – you can plan on standing in line to get to the top of the ride. Don’t let this discourage you though – the lines move fast!

When most people think of coupons, they still think of the days when a coupon booklet would come in the mail or with the daily newspaper. Then, a consumer would have to search through the coupon booklet to find a coupon that fit their needs for that shopping day.
This would be especially the case for children. From infancy onward, children have unique needs and wants. This may include new clothes and toys as the child outgrows them to food. Coupons then are an essential tool to help a child live and grow and many parents over the decades relied on the old-format coupon booklets in the mail or newspaper to buy things for their kids.
However, these days many people shop online to meet their needs and wants. Online shopping has grown exponentially over the years to include an immense percentage of U.S. commerce. Instead of a conventional retail store, a large inventory business that stores products can ship any item the customer wants with standard shipping to the comfort of their own home. This cuts down on time spent shopping.
Likewise, the coupon has been exchanged for its magazine cut out to coupon codes that can be bought or downloaded online. These codes are often facilitated by affiliated third-parties that will sell or offer coupons to large companies that have online stores. Often, many of the coupon websites will focus on a particular niche, like children goods. This can help narrow the search for a customer to find the relevant coupons they need to make a purchase for their child. Some coupon pages will be general pages of coupons for the businesses they are for, but the websites should still have a search function for children coupons. Besides, the consumer can try to find coupons not just for their kid goods, but for goods like appliances, home and garden, or services related to their automobile or a restaurant meal.
Thanks to online shopping, most people are able to sit at home and find what they are looking for through an online vendor. At the same time, coupons have transferred over to the online world and can be used to deduct costs from the online purchase of a good or service.
Do you shop online? Do you use online coupons? Has the use of using online coupons saved you a lot of money?

It does not matter how great your income is; when you have kids, it never seems to be enough. You think you are doing all you can to make frugal choices, but are you? Below is some money saving tips that have more an impact than you might think.
1. Kiss Your Car Insurance Goodbye – Okay, you need car insurance, but when was the last time you shopped around? Rates often factor in age, address, and credit. So, if you are still paying the same rate as you were five years ago when you lived in a questionable area, had no credit, and still had a speeding ticket that had not dropped off your record, then you are probably paying too much. Call your provider and ask to be reevaluated, and get rates from others while you are at it.
2. Examine Your Phone Bill – How often do you use that call forwarding option on your home phone service or digital voicemail on your cell? Phone bills are often full of a lot of services you don’t need.
3. Cancel Movie Channels – Get rid of those expensive movie channels and get Netflix or something similar. Most people pay an average of $30 per month on movie channels. Let’s face it; you are lucky if one decent movie is added every week anyway. It is just not worth it.
4. Buy a Water Fountain – Right now, you are saying, “Wait! I’m trying to save money, not spend it.” Instead of having an air purifier, vaporizer, and sound element all plugged in the nursery, eliminate these things for one fountain. The sound is soothing, the water evaporates to provide moisture, and the movement of water cleans the air. You can pick one up from online stores like IndoorFountainPros.com.
5. Stop Eating Out – Eating at restaurants is so expensive. Even if you are only grabbing a muffin and coffee for breakfast or a salad for lunch, this really adds up. Pack snacks, lunches, etc., when you are on the move, so you are not tempted to hit the drive thru.
6. Don’t Buy Bottled Water – Bottled water is truly the biggest waste of money and it is bad for the environment. Buy a few BPA-free, washable water bottles and a water pitcher with a filter and fill the bottles with your own clean water.
7. Clip Coupons – How many times have you been standing in line and kick yourself because you remember seeing a coupon for something you are buying? Use a recipe box with dividers to create a coupon filing system that works for you.
8. Save Gas – There are probably plenty of times when you can easily walk or bike to where you are going instead of taking the car. Gas is expensive. If you have a smaller yard, ditch that gas guzzling mower for a reel mower instead.
9. Make Baby Food – Buy small jars and puree your own baby food. It will cost a fraction of the price. There are recipes all over the Internet.
10. Ask for a Better Credit Card Rate – You never know if you can get a better rate, if you don’t ask. Call your credit card company and tell them you are going to transfer the balance to a new card with a better rate unless they can do a little better.

You’re going to LOVE this site we found! It’s a very cool site for those who are looking to make/bake something but have limited ingredients on hand.
Picture this scenario in your mind. It’s suppertime. You ask yourself, “What am I going to make – I want something different than the same ole, same ole. OR – I have limited ingredients so what can I make with what I have on hand?”
Here’s a solution for you! Go to Supercook.com. You enter what ingredients you have on hand on the left. You are not limited to their suggestions – look below that box and where you see ‘Add Ingredients,’ and enter the ingredients you do have.
From there, you’ll see on the right hand side of the page, dishes that you can make. If for some reason you are missing an ingredient that a dish requires, you will be told that too.
Some of the recipes where you are missing ‘that’ certain ingredient – you can still make. For instance, if bell peppers are part of the recipe and you don’t have them and you don’t care if you include them in the recipe – it’s not a big deal.
We’d love to hear what you thought of this site – please come back and share your thoughts!
