One of the easiest ways to eat healthier is to prepare food at home, and now Ninja blenders are taking that concept to a new level by making it easier than ever to prepare all kinds of healthy and delicious foods at home. Recently I received the Ninja Ultima Blender to review and I could tell that it would become a kitchen essential in no time.

The Ninja Ultima has a few features that set it apart from the competition. One of the best and most original features of this blender is dual-stage blending that features both total crushing blades at the top for crushing fruits, vegetables, nuts and ice, and high-speed cyclonic blades at the bottom for liquefying ingredients. The pro-variable speed means that the blender is capable of everything from gentle blending to nutrient-complete juicing. No wonder it’s such a sought-after kitchen appliance! [Read more…]

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is easily one of my boys’ favourite new shows and in all honesty, I love it almost as much as they do. Nickelodeon’s hit series brings back so many memories of my own childhood, but the Turtles are even more talented, energetic and fun now. And for kids that can’t get enough Turtle Power, Nickelodeon and Paramount have released a new DVD of the series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ultimate Showdown! Here’s a brief synopsis:

It’s nonstop ninja action as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles face off against new enemies and old, including the Rat King, Cockroach Terminator, Baxter Stockman and more! All this, leading to the ultimate showdown against the Kraang and the Shredder himself!

My boys were thrilled when this package arrived and when they learned that the new DVD features twelve episodes on two discs, they were even more excited. They spent a comfortable afternoon watching the DVD and enjoying the new episodes as Leonard, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello battled enemies old and new. The DVD was a favourite for weeks after and I frequently heard Zackary and Benjamin reciting lines from the episodes in their games, a sure-fire way of knowing when my boys really like something!
