You know that around here we love the games from Minute to Win It. We've posted about them more than once...like HERE with our $5 Summer Activities for Boys and then again HERE with our $5 Holiday Party Game Ideas.  So when we heard about a new season of Minute to Win It on GSN we were pretty excited.  And then when Simon heard that he was actually going to get to see a sneak peak of the new season he was over the moon....and it was serious business...sitting up to the counter with a beverage ...

I know I alluded to this last week, but things are beyond busy around these parts.  I am sure they are in your homes too.  The end of school is so close (but not close enough) so it's just been running around like crazy.  This week we have 6 evening events in 5 nights---and I haven't peeked at the calendar next week.  I can only handle so much.... On top of that there are some big blog things going on behind the scenes (with some major deadlines to boot) so I certainly feel like I am swimming ... View the Post
