There is a lot of evidence, most anecdotal, some scientific, about how gardeners live up to 14 years longer than non-gardeners. That’s a pretty impressive life extension and it certainly warrants further research. National Geographic author Dan Buettner has studied this in depth by visiting what he called “blue zones” around the world- places where...

There are few things in life as soothing and relaxing as the warm glow of a campfire, and Himalayan salt lamps offer this same ambiance at home. I’ve talked before about how I use them to help keep the air fresh and for their soothing red glow. Salt lamps have exploded in popularity over the last...

In Episode 1 of the MyGolfSpy Spy vs. Spy Podcast, Owner Adam Beach and Editor Tony Covey discuss the USGA Distance Report and the potential factors contributing to increased distance on tour.
Spoiler Alert: It's not the ball.
The infamous McDonald’s Shamrock Shake makes its rounds once a year at the Golden Arches. Over 60 million of them have been sold since they were first introduced. With 54 ingredients in each shake, though, they are pretty much the opposite of real food! It might come as a surprise that I’ve never actually tried...

Make a pretty shamrock window craft with this easy toddler craft for St. Patrick’s Day.
Here’s how Henry and I made our shamrock craft for St. Patrick’s Day,
I laid out a piece of contact paper, sticky side up. Henry added gold glitter. And more glitter.
(We may have had a glitter mishap that went something like this: “Mom, it isn’t coming out fast enough!” Then he turned the top to the big opening and just poured. We ended up starting over…)
Then add lots of green. That’s easy enough, its Henry’s favorite color!
Rip of lots of green tissue paper and arrange on the contact paper. We also added crinkle green grass paper (affiliate link).
Oh, and add more glitter in for good measure.
When your collage is finished, cover it with another piece of contact paper and smash together as flat as possible.
Hold up in the light! Pretty!
Next, I cut out shamrocks. An adult should probably handle this part!
The plan was to cut out lots of little ones and decorate our tree, but it turns out that contact paper isn’t too easy to cut.
I’m not sure if we covered the contact paper too much, or if my contact paper is just the cheap kind. But the edges had a hard time staying stuck, so I had to scotch tape them together in spots.
So, I quickly changed it to a shamrock window craft for St. Patrick’s Day! All the better because the light shines through it this way!
I have previously banned glitter in this house, due to clean up. I have found a couple good solutions: play dough and lint rollers.
After our glitter mishap, I wasn’t ready to start another project with play dough and I didn’t have any lint rollers.
But, I did have something sticky: the contact paper! I folded it sticky side out onto itself and folded down one end and made a mitten!
Henry enjoyed the cleanup! It worked great for the table cleanup – the floor cleanup was another story.
If you haven’t noticed yet – from the 11 Preschool Clean Ups… I always try to involve Henry in the cleanup after a project. To me, that just makes sense.
Today, Mark Crossfield and MyGolfSpy owner talk about the USGA/R&A Driver distance study.
Distance.
Is it a problem? Is it not? What does the report show? Let's find out.
Three years ago, Dean Snell knocked the golf ball world on its keister by starting his own Direct-To-Consumer golf ball company. What made Snell Golf different, was Dean himself, and his considerable street cred in golf ball design.
Snell blasted a home run his first time up with the My Tour Ball. Tapping into knowledge gained from years with Titleist and TaylorMade, Snell designed the original MTB for Tour-level performance at a cut-out-the-middle-man price.
And man, did it perform. But the golf world being the golf world, it's time for the next generation MTB.
Snell is introducing two new Tour-level balls for spring: MTB RED and MTB BLACK - two balls for two different golfer types.
MTB BLACK shares DNA with the original MTB - it's a 3-piece cast urethane ball with a softer core for a little less driver spin than the original, while keeping the same short-game performance.
MTB RED is a 4-piece, firmer feeling ball for players who want/need more spin on both long and short shots.
For a closer look at which ball might fit your game best, click here.
Do the new MTB's live up to the original? MyGolfSpy needs 10 of you (5 to test the BLACK, 5 to test the RED) to try these things out and tell us what you think.
As you know, MyGolfSpy takes its product testing very seriously. All of our reader reviews are published in our Community Forum (click here to check them out). We expect a lot from our reviewers –you'll be asked to write a thorough, detailed and honest review, and it's a full two-month commitment on your part, with extensive on-course and practice green work as well as participation in the Community Form itself to answer questions and discuss product performance with other golfers.
To be considered as a tester you must be a registered member of the MyGolfSpy Community Forum, where you'll find thousands of like-minded golfers from all over the world anxious to talk golf equipment.
To apply to test and review the Snell MTB Red or MTB Black golf balls, here's what you have to do:
We'll be announcing the testers in the MyGolfSpy Forum next week, so check back there.
Good luck!
