Hello, dear friends! I’m so excited about the upcoming Vancouver Olympic Winter Games! I love snow, I love Vancouver (Hubby and I honeymooned there!), and my kids are becoming huge fans of snowboarder Shaun White. My boys, ages 10 (almost 11) and 8, think Shaun is awesome, love watching him in the halfpipe, and even want to wear t-shirts from his clothing line!
Win a shirt with this IFST logo on one side and the Coca-Cola logo on the other side!
But you don’t have to be an Olympic snowboarder to enjoy playing in the snow. Actually, you don’t even need to go outside. Want to celebrate the Winter Olympics without the risk of frostbitten extremities or slush inside your socks? Check out snowballthrowing.com, a site designed to get people excited about the Olympics and playing in the snow.
The site highlights the fun, fictional “International Federation of Snowball Throwing,” (IFST) and includes videos with information and training tips for aspiring Olympic Snowballers. In the spirit of Olympic fun, Coca-Cola is offering a few lucky readers the chance to take home an “official” IFST t-shirt or a set of 8 commemorative Beijing Olympics Coke bottles!
Win a set of 8 beautiful Olympic Coke bottles

WELCOME! I can't teach you how to monetize your blog, but I can offer you some mostly intelligent conversation, moderately geeky tech talk, very funny mom stories, with the occasional rant thrown in for sanity. I'm so glad you're here!

I have surprised myself this winter by getting outside everyday, battling the elements to feel a little less like a winter prisoner. My favorite snowy-day activity is a tie between shoveling the driveway (I am not even joking about this) and taking a winter walk. I love the concept of snowball throwing, but in our family someone always winds up hit in the face and it just heads south from there.
My favorite snowy day activity is to bundle up the kids and take them out to make snow angels. Then to come inside to a piping hot bowl of soup. We love to snuggle down to watch movies. I LOVE the snowy days.
My favorite snowy day activity – is to hunker down in the house and watch old movies with the kids. They’ve come to love Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Kiss me Kate and a host of old classics. But since we’re in Tennessee, you can’t really call them SNOW days, mostly just “thinking about snowing” days!
We have had so much snow we have been able to dog sled this year. The dogs love it. I liked the examples good and bad snowballs on the website. Too cool.
My favorite snowy day activity is playing outside with the dogs in the snow, then coming back inside for hot chocolate and popcorn!
My kids love to sled down the bank behind the house and glide across the pond (which has to be shoveled so the can slide half ways across the ice.) Then they come in and have hot chocolate and watch a movie. Me, I like to fill up my jacuzzi bath tub, light a whole bunch of candles, and read a book! I don’t like the snow…
My husband shovels off a path on the pond then the kids sled down the bank and glide across the pond. Then they come in for hot chocolate. I prefer to soak in my Jacuzzi bath tub with candles and a book. I don’t like snow or cold…
Those are great snowy day activities! When I was a kid, I could play outside for what seemed like hours in the snow. We lived in Wisconsin, and the snow came around Halloween and lasted til spring. Now, I’ll go out for a while, get cold, and come inside to sit by a fire. If we had an outdoor jacuzzi, I think that would be the ultimate winter soak!
They look really cool i would love to have them.Ihave started a coke collection of different things and would love to have them to add to my collection.
