MilwaukeeMoms.com Tuesday giveaway! It's cold and snowy outside. Why not try working out inside? I have one-day passes for INVIVO, a great local fitness, spa and wellness facility with an incredible view of the Milwaukee River. Available to anyone (up to 5 people) who responds telling me what they do to keep fit in the winter (if applic...able!) Personally, I try to put on 5-10 pounds of "insulation."

I put some fun music on & dance with my twins. I also use them as weights & work my arms, legs and abs out (they are 9 months old & laugh & giggle every time I do a sit-up). They certainly make working out fun!

Good idea, Nicole. In fact, I'll send you a CD along with your pass. Are your kids partial to any particular kind of music?

My four year old son actually won't STOP talking. What works better - duct tape or socks?
