It’s time for another addition of Monday Mentions. These are little odds and ends that I’ve gotten from PR folks and others during the week that I wanted to make sure I had a chance to share. There is a Mister Linky at the end you are welcome to use if you have your own item you would like to share.
- Olympic Fun at Home on the Wii!

Hudson Entertainment’s Deca Sports Titles contain Snowboard Cross, Figure Skating, Curling, Speed Skating, Ice Hockey, Mogul Skiing and much more. All of these games are just $20 each and rated E for Everyone. A perfect way to integrate watching the Olympic Games with getting your family active and moving playing these fun games in the warmth of your own home! - Simply Asia Foods
The Chinese New Year started yesterday. Since it feel on Valentine’s Day we didn’t celebrate that – yet. We will be later in the week probably. Simply Asia is not a brand I have tried, but it is in my local store so maybe I will give them a try soon. I did learn that they are giving away great prize packs on their Facebook page and on Twitter @SimplyAsiaFoods
