I have found my calling in life…to become an Olympic athlete. Sure, I’m old and out-of-shape. But, I think with some training, I could easily suit up and throw some rocks for the U.S. Olympic Curling team. Don’t know anything about curling? Check this out: Curling clubs across the country have ‘Learn to Curl’ nights,…
Sad family here as the Olympics wrap up. I’ve had my complaints with NBC’s coverage, I really have no other complaints about the games. It’s been great to watch and we, as a family, still can’t get enough. I do, however, wish that I could watch the big Gold Medal hockey games with my family. …
I can’t believe the Olympics are here! It’s time to find your Olympic spirit, gather your iPad for live streaming and figure out the time zone difference! Actual events start tonight (Thursday) with the actual opening ceremonies happening Friday night. It’s all so very confusing. I have always wanted to go to the Olympics, or…
It’s almost time for my favorite thing, the Olympics! Did you know that 20 years ago today this happened? It makes me feel so old! I remember it like it was yesterday. I was very much on Team Kerrigan. My sister was very much on Team Harding. How did that work out for you sis?…
I am sad the Olympics are over for another two years. Remember when Summer/Winter were held the same year and they were only once every four years? The Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years until 1992, after a 1986 decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to place the Summer…
Ryan Lochte is an eleven-time Olympic medalist with five gold, three silver and three bronze medals. He’s also a favorite of the state of Florida. And let’s not sugar coat it – he’s pretty nice to look at. His seven individual Olympic medals rank as second all-time in men’s swimming. And he’s on track to…
The Olympic-themed birthday party was a big success! So much fun – we are planning one for the Winter Olympics – which happens to be on my other son’s birthday in 2014! Here’s a look at some of the food and events we held for the party. The weather was a bit hot – so…
I’m obsessed with The Olympics. I’ve already watched more hours than you, I’m sure. Here are some thoughts/observations…. 1. I love London. It’s a perfect backdrop to the games – I love that they speak English. 2. I really think I missed my calling in life – I totally could have gotten a gold medal…
All systems are go for this weekend’s big Olympic-themed birthday party! I’ve been debating how to deal with the medals. I bought some cheap ones at Target – but wanted to personalize them on one side. I was debating some different options; stickers, foam, etc. Finally, I settled on clay. That’s right folks, clay! I…
I am very excited the summer Olympics are just around the corner. It’s also a big event for our family because every four years, it also happens around my oldest son’s birthday! This year – we are combining the two and doing an Olympic-themed birthday party, since it will be the same weekend as the…
