The number eight is lucky in China - so the fact that the Beijing Olympics are kicking off today - 8-8-08 is no coincidence! I have the Tivo set to record as much of the games as I can - don’t want to miss a moment - and I have made a list of the best places to catch all the Olympic action online, too.

Check out my coverage of the women of the games at Sports Girls Play - plenty of awesome pictures, my own reactions, and even some good deals!

For the kids - be sure to visit Printables4Kids for Olympic themed word searches, a medal count worksheet and coloring pages.
