Yes, we've searched for them all. We've even asked the manufacturer for more colors. Hey, they made pink for us! There's always hope! Some of these colors I can understand...but navy? How many schools are navy? I think we see navy more than any other color team in high school. We receive requests every day for new prewrap colors. We forward them on - the more requests they hear, the more they will believe us. So don't be shy!

What color pre-wrap do you want?!!!

Big News!

I'm 5' 6"! I'm 5' 6"! I'm 5' 6"! One more inch on the charts. The refrigerator looks smaller, LOL. This year I was the shortest on my volleyball team. I'm not the shrimp anymore! Hey, Coach! I'm 5' 6"!!!

I still got elbowed in the head last night and flattened like a pancake from behind in my soccer game. Man, that girl was tall!

Healthy Snacks for the Athlete

Finding something that's quick, easy, AND healthy is a challenge for most moms. What do I feed them in between tournament games? What can I send in her backpack so she has a healthy snack after school before a volleyball match? My girls aren't big sandwich eaters, hate granola bars, and detest every power and energy bar they've tried. Recently, a health coach suggested Physique Cookies. They come in a variety of flavors and are packed with things that you actually want your child to be eating! One cookie is comparable to eating a cup of instant oatmeal, 2 cups of lowfat milk, and a banana!

My girls LOVE them! And anything that makes my life easier is a good thing.
