I recently had the opportunity to try out some really cool accessories for the Wii console. Accessories really make the games if you ask me. For instance, I had purchased a sport pack when I first got the Wii. I rationalized the purchase of the Wii by thinking I would use it as exercise so getting the tennis racket, baseball and golf club accessories would make it more real. What I didn’t realize is that these hard plastic small accessories didn’t deliver the realism I was looking for.
The Nerf Sports Pack for Wii provides a much better experience as the attachments are larger and provide a much more realistic feel. The Nerf material provides a sense of safety and allows my child to use these 
without worrying that if he gets hit or hits something in the house that it will seriously damage anything, including the Nerf attachments. Also, I particularly like the tennis racket attachment as it is much better in the game playing. The other smaller harder plastic racket wouldn’t face the proper way therefore making my serves and returns off. The Nerf tennis racket attachment is bigger giving a more realistic feel and it faces properly so as that when I go to place a serve, I am hitting it the way I would on the court. It also has a detachable “string” netting which I found to be nice when my son inevitably sliced into same furniture. The string part just popped off and was easily popped back on where it stayed snuggly. At only $19.99, the Nerf Sports Pack is a great buy and only a couple of dollars more than the plastic smaller version that I had tried before.
Nerf also makes a really cool steering wheel to use with all your driving game adventures. You have a choice of colors and the 
feel of gripping the Nerf material just doesn’t compare. I think every child and adult just loves the feel of Nerf material and the comfort of white knuckling a Nerf steering wheel adds to the experience. I feel like I had a better grip allowing me to better play the game. Everyone in our house has loved playing with the Nerf wheel. It is only $10 and you can have your child choose their favorite color!
I also highly recommend for your Wii experience the Energizer Power & Play Induction Charging System. That is a lot of words for “ a really cool Wii remote charger”. Here is what I really like about it. I like keeping the silicon sleeves on our remotes. There are many reasons for this, like my son’s grubby hands or the fact that when I work up a sweat playing I feel like I can keep a better handle on the remote. The fact it protects the remotes from the wear and tear of a rough little boy and sometimes rough playing adults. So I don’t really enjoy having to take the
silicon sleeves off to replace batteries or to charge them if I were to have rechargeable batteries. The great feature with this induction charging system is that you don’t take the sleeves off. You place the remotes on this nice cradle that holds 2 remotes and you don’t have to attach anything. You also don’t have take off attachments, lanyards or the Wii motion plus. Just finish playing and you lay them on the cradle and then in about an hour or so they seem to be fully charged. We used them for just over an hour and they played wonderfully. The batteries are Nimh rechargeables so once you get them in, you don’t need to replace again, only recharge by lying them on the cradle. Very simple and it looks great. At just $49.99, this will add convenience and ease as well as allow your children to be able to easily place the remotes back for charging without you having to help them.

I have had the opportunity to try out the new Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer in my home for the last 9 weeks. I have to admit, that I am loving the washer and dryer more each day.
Frigidaire promises that by buying their Affinty collection of appliances you can save time. I have to say that my experience with the washer and dryer has made me a believer. I am not spending the time I was in getting everything set up each time because once you set up the cycles to run the way you want, you never have to do it again.
Saving money on detergent and fabric softener is really nice as well because I am finding that I am using a lot less of these products. The delicate chime that goes off when it is finished – on both the washer and dryer – is so very nice so I don’t have to keep checking to see if it is done. My last washer had that option but it was so loud and disturbing that I turned it off.
I really can’t find anything I don’t like about the Frigidaire washer and dryer. 
I am happy to answer any questions you may have about my blog if you are considering getting a new washer and/or dryer. It may sound a bit hard to believe but I really am happy with these beautiful red appliances!
I have had my Frigidaire Affinity front loading Washer and Dryer for close to six weeks now. I have read all the paper work and have set the washer and dryer settings to my liking. I have tried those settings out more than a few times now. So, I bet you are wondering if I am still in the honeymoon phase, right?
I am still in love with the new time saving and eco-friendly washer and dryer. I did have to change a few ways of washing clothes since I have had a top loading washer all of my life. For instance, I used to use a partial liquid and partial powder detergent ratio in my wash. I did this because the liquid washed well but I felt the results from adding a little powder detergent got more stains and dirt out. With front loading washers, you are instructed to only use liquid or only use powder detergent as using the two together would result in a caked up mess in the detergent reservoir.
I find that just one of the many features about the Frigidaire Affinity front loading washing machine is that it is provides more agitating force so I don’t need to use powder detergent to get the same results. I also don’t use the same amount of detergent. It appears and says in the paperwork that it doesn’t need as much water to wash a load as well. In every aspect that I can tell it is saving me money to wash with this machine.
I wanted to share with all my blogging friends a small video I made showing you the new additions to my home. Watch the two and half minute video to see just a couple of reasons why I love the new washer and dryer so much. Stayed tuned when I will tell you more about the dryer, the time saving settings and more features that I just love!
I have had the privilege of trying out the new Frigidaire Affinity line front loading washer and dryer. This energy efficient and beautiful piece of machinery has changed the way I view washing clothes.
It has only been 3 days since I received the washer and dryer and while I know I will have more to report on my experiences with these incredible new appliances, I can already tell you what I really like about them. The first thing I enjoy is the color. I was able to choose my color and I chose the bold color red. It has always been my M.O. to choose white appliances but I wanted to spice things up and even though red won’t go with anything in my house, no one sees them except for me and my family. The color is a vibrant red that cheers me up and adds something to the experience of washing and drying.
Frigidaire Affinity Front Loading Washer and Dryer
It takes some getting used to for me since I have always washed in a top loading washing machine. I like that once you determine the exact parameters you like for washing in each cycle, it remembers and you never have to set it up again. That is a big time saver.
The dryer is quiet and allows many more settings so you get the drying power you need and no more than you need. That is very energy efficient!
As I use it more and more and get used to it I will let you know how these appliances can help save you time AND money. I will even video tape my experience for you! Please write me comments about what you don’t like about your current washer and dryer and I will let you know if the new Frigidaire Affinity washer and dryer can help you!
