You also may have noticed the Momspective Guide to Fitness had a slight name change. We’re upgrading! We still adore the Wii Fit, but with so many fantastic ways to lose weight using the Nintendo Wii, we’ve changed our name to the Wii Mommies! You can still find the forum at www.wiimommies.com but you can also find our website at www.WiiMommies.com!
To help us celebrate, our good friends from Newbaby.com have gotten together with Mom’s Most Wanted to offer our readers and Newbaby.com lovers a Flip Camera on Mom’s Most Wanted! They wrote up a great post (thanks, guys!) to help get the word our about our wonderful website and Newbaby.com is so very generous to offer their readers a chance to win a fabulous Flip camera! Thanks, guys!
Finally, I’d like to take a second to reach out to tell everyone about the Fresh Air fund. I’m just going to give you info directly from their website, because they say it best-
Host a Child
Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a few weeks each summer, children growing up in New York City’s toughest neighborhoods have experienced the joys of Fresh Air vacations.
More than 65% of all children are reinvited to stay with their host family, year after year.
Fresh Air Fund Host Families
There is no such thing as a “typical” host family. If you have room in your home – and your heart – to host a child, you could be one too.
Learn MoreFresh Air children are boys and girls, six to 12 years old, who reside in low-income communities in New York City and are eager to experience the simple pleasures of life outside the city.
As one child says, “I can’t wait to get on the bus every summer so I can see my family and go swimming and hiking!.”
You can give a child the experience of a lifetime with your gift to The Fresh Air Fund!Every year, The Fresh Air Fund gives thousands of inner-city children the priceless gift of fun – and opens the door to a lifetime of opportunities.
Whether it’s a two-week trip to the country to visit a volunteer host family, or a fun-filled and educational stay at one of our camps, our programs make for unforgettable memories – and open a world of new friendships and fresh possibilities.
We are a not-for-profit agency and depend on tax-deductible donations from people like you to keep our vital programs flourishing.

All the buttons should have changed automatically unless you uploaded it on your server.
