Giveaway: Jabuka Adds A New Twist To Easter Baskets

March 12, 2021tabbyspantry 2 Comments

Jabuka, the new word game with the coffee theme, is giving the Easter Bunny a new twist on options to fill baskets this year. Hopping on an idea to add games to the Easter deliveries, Jabuka is the big treat that is the right size to lay nicely next to the decorated eggs and chocolate bunnies.

Jabuka is packaged in a neat, eco-friendly cloth bag and at about five-inches and weighing just a few ounces, it just fits nicely as a compliment to any Easter basket

Martin Russocki, inventor of JABUKA, said. “With a coffee theme, Jabuka might be a nice discovery to play along with your morning drink on Easter morning too.”

Jabuka ($19.95 for 2-4 players ages 8+) is the multi award-winning rotating letter word game that brews up a lot of fun. Its small, portable, quick and easy game play offers affordable, multi-age entertainment through a cool, coffee theme that you can play just about anywhere. As an easy to learn and play word game, Jabuka is fun for all groups, and it has also been adopted as a fun educational item for hybrid and remote learning too.

How to Play: Players spill the coffee bean-shaped tiles and start a battle of words (official rules at www.Jabukagames.com). No turn taking. Just grab the letters and make words. Then, maybe you can steal words from other players with clever word scrambles and adding letters. Notice the yellow letters that can be twisted, such as:
“E” is “m” or “w”
“c” is “u” or “n”
“r” can be “j”;
“t” is also “x”;
and more

When you first spill the beans, some land face down, leave those face down until everyone agrees to flip and turn over 2 beans at a time to reveal new letters. Play. Repeat. Count beans when the last 2 are filled. The player with the most beans that make words wins! Game on.

6 Budget-Friendly Home Renovations

March 10, 2021tabbyspantry

Are you looking to revamp your home and achieve a new look, comfort, or in preparation for a sale? When one thinks of home renovations, they think of how expensive it is and sometimes decide otherwise. However, with proper planning, you can transform your home with a single, budget-friendly project.

Below are ideas on budget-friendly home renovations.

Update your kitchen cabinets and countertops

If you have old cabinets, they may be making your kitchen dreary. Consider refreshing them with a fresh coat of paint instead of replacing them. Alternatively, change a few upper cabinet doors from wood to glass to highlight entertaining serving pieces and glassware. Countertops are the focal points of your kitchen in most cases. Use cost-effective materials such as butcher block and quartz.

Use removable wallpaper

If you have ever attempted to install wallpaper on your own, you may cringe at the thought of doing it again. However, using removable wallpaper is an affordable and stylish way to add patterns and brighten your space. You can use different colors and patterns of removable wallpaper in various rooms to create some extra detail. This could be your living area, bedroom, bathroom, and your front stair steps.

Update flooring

New flooring can give your home a different feel. If you have been using the same carpet for years, it’s probably time to check underneath and see if you have usable hardwood flooring. A new floor could mean a long-lasting project and expensive labor. Consider peel-and-stick flooring options that you can do by yourself or warm them up with new paint in a different pattern.

Paint walls

An alternative to wallpaper is adding a fresh coat of paint to your walls. With the right equipment, you can do a great job of renovating your home yourself. If you have dull or written-on walls by kids, giving them a fresh coat of paint will brighten them and give you a different reality. Ensure you paint room by room, paying attention to detail instead of slathering paint on the walls.

Change your window treatments

Depending on the look you’re trying to achieve, you may want to increase natural lighting or tone it down. You can add detail to your home at pocket-friendly costs by installing shutters in rooms such as the study and bedrooms. If you want to incorporate more natural lighting, consider using bright sheers and clear glass windows.

When taking a closer look at your windows – you may notice that they are a little worse for wear. For example, they may be slightly chipped or scratched due to exposure to bad or stormy weather. In these cases, you may need to consider replacing the entire frame – as what starts as a small crack can quickly develop into a real problem. Thankfully, the process of replacing your windows does not need to be costly or even expensive – in fact, many companies now offer same day window repair services. Changing out your windows could also give you the chance to make your home more energy-efficient, especially if you opt for double-glazing.

Shop around for affordable supplies

Kitchen appliances could create a big difference. To ensure you stay on top of your budget from your vpf account, shop around for deals on a quality refrigerator, cooktop stove, and dishwasher. If you are conducting the renovations on your own, shop for supplies that are discounted or on sale. These may include paint roller brushes, ladders, drills, nails, and tools to refurbish your furniture.

Bottom Line

You can renovate your home without incurring hefty costs. Try as much as possible to conduct the renovations on your own by painting the walls, repairing kitchen cabinets, and doors. Shop around for affordable supplies, update your flooring and countertops, and change your window treatments. A great alternative to painting is to install removable wallpaper and ask a professional to fix structural issues. Don’t forget your electrical safety inspections are an important measure to ensure your home remains safe. It’s essential that any wiring, apparatus, and appliances are installed following safety regulations to prevent fires, shocks, and other dangers. An electrical safety inspection can identify potential issues, allowing them to be rectified before they cause harm. For this reason, it is highly advisable to arrange an inspection when any renovations have been done so that you can know the situation is under control and your home is not a risk. Experienced electricians should always be employed for all inspections in order to acquire accurate results from friendly professionals who know what they’re doing.

How To Build An Effective Reward System For Kids Of All Ages

March 8, 2021tabbyspantry 1 Comment

While rewarding your children may be the last thing on your mind when you are having to tackle misbehavior, a good reward system can be one of the best ways to challenge and change their behavior. Reward systems usually work fast too.

They also work well for children of all ages. So, whether you have a toddler in the habit of pushing, or your teenager refuses to do their chores because ‘they forgot’, a simple and easy-to-follow reward system can help them to become responsible for their actions.

Let’s have a look at the different ages below:

Little Kids

Preschoolers and toddlers benefit from simple things like sticker charts. You could allow your children to decorate a piece of paper and then use then for the chart. This way they have been involved and engaged with the plan and therefore will be more invested in earning the stickers.

Choose stickers that they’ll love, you could even allow them to choose the stickers themselves. Just make sure you stand strong and don’t hand the stickers out until they have earned them.

Keep the chart on display. Toddlers and preschoolers are often proud of their accomplishments and want to make sure everyone else is aware they have earned stickers.

It works best if you choose one behavior to focus on at a time and make it simple.

Behaviors that work really well alongside a sticker chart include staying in their own bed at night and using the toilet. As soon as you see the desired behavior it is important for you to provide positive feedback for the good behavior as soon as you can.

School-Age Children

Stickers on their own aren’t normally enough to motivate school-age kids. They require more tangible rewards to stay motivated. They can also manage a more complex reward system. This means you are able to tackle bigger goals or possibly more than one behavior. You can use a sticker chart but also use praise and consider a small treat such as a Super Wings 4 pack or day out once they have reached a certain amount of stickers on their chart.

You don’t want to make the number of stickers too high though, your children may feel that it is unobtainable. Make sure they earn rewards regularly. Some school-age children may still need to have daily rewards, while others are able to wait several days to get an incentive. If you feel as though they aren’t getting along with having to build up the rewards, change the number of stickers they need to earn in order to get a reward.

Explain the reward system to your children, and make sure it is positive, rather than seen as a punishment.

Tweens

Tweens will normally benefit from more complicated systems with larger rewards. However, you need to remember, that not all rewards have to cost money. Having a later bedtime or longer screen time on the weekends can be huge motivators for children in this bracket.

You will find that some tweens feel too old for stickers, so a tally or token might work better. Enable them to save their tokens and have a shopping list of things they can exchange them for such as two tokens equal half an hour extra of their game or a later bedtime on a Friday night.

With tweens, you can deal with around three behaviors at a time. A great way to make them feel successful is to choose one behavior that you know they are already doing fairly well. This is often the key to keeping them motivated.

Teens

Teenagers will have outgrown any formal reward charts and systems. However, this does not mean you have to get rid of the systems altogether. Instead, work together to build a behavior management contract that links specific behaviors to different rewards.

For example, link your teenager’s ability to go to see a film with their friends to complete their homework on time all week.

Electronic devices are another privilege that works extremely well for teenagers. Think about giving them mobile phone privileges once their chores and homework have been finished. You need to ensure you are establishing clear rules so your children understand exactly where you are and what you expect from them.

This short guide should give you a good start when it comes to building an effective reward system for children of all ages. Do you have any other reward systems that work well? Please share your ideas in the comments below.

6 Easy Steps For a Healthier Life

March 8, 2021tabbyspantry

Who doesn’t want to be that little bit healthier? It’s all too easy to fall into a less-than-healthy lifestyle; indeed, it’s often only once we take a step back and look at our health from a higher perspective that we realize that we could be oh so much more healthy. The good news is that moving towards a better, healthier you is not an impossible task — indeed, quite the opposite. It can be pretty easy to nudge yourself in the right direction. In this blog, we’ll run through just six changes to make. Within a few weeks, you’ll notice that you’re beginning to feel much better!

Get Moving

One of the reasons why we, as a society, aren’t as healthy as we should be is because we simply spend so much time sitting down. Think about it: you’re in bed, then you drive to work, then you sit in front of a computer, and then you return home and sit on the couch. While doing that for one day won’t be too bad, if you do it over and over, then you’ll run into health problems. Moving forward, look at incorporating more movement into your day. You can do this by cycling to work, taking a walk on your lunch break, or simply making a habit of getting up from your desk every now and again.

Find an Activity

Of course, while adding extra movement into your lifestyle will help, it won’t necessarily take your health to where it needs to go. For that, you’ll likely need to add more intensive movement into your lifestyle. So why not look at taking up a new, more strenuous activity? While it’s good to join a gym, the truth is that some people don’t like gyms — but good news: it’s not your only option! There are plenty of fun and sweat-inducing activities. If you’re doing something that you enjoy, then you’ll be getting healthier and fitter, and you won’t even notice it.

Change Your Meals

What you eat does, of course, have a tremendous impact on your overall health. If you’re consistently eating takeout meals, then you can’t be too surprised if you’re not as healthy as you could be. So take a look at your eating habits. Could they be better? There are plenty of healthy and delicious meals you can prepare without much effort. Take a look at this full list of cobb salad ingredients, and you’ll be able to quickly whip up a healthy lunch once you’ve got everything you need. Making your own meals isn’t just better for your health, either — it’s cheaper and more fun, too.

Bad Habits

Finally, look at cutting out some bad habits. It’s easy to forget how much of a negative influence things like alcohol, soda, tobacco, and more can have on our overall health. Reviewing your current lifestyle and seeing what things might be impacting your health can be just as important as adding more positive steps to your health journey. Of course, it’s not always easy to say goodbye to these things, especially if they seem to be ingrained into “who we are,” but remember that there’s not one vice that can’t be overcome. Just because you’ve been drinking soda with all meals for years, it doesn’t mean that things have to be that way forever.

Mental Health Help

So far, we’ve talked about the physical side of our health. And in fact, that’s the way most people talk about their health, all the time — it’s only really in recent times that we’ve begun to include the mental side of things into conversations about health. Studies have shown that more people than ever before are experiencing mental health difficulties — this was enhanced by the coronavirus pandemic, but it was an issue before that time, too. While it’s sad that so many people are experiencing difficulties, the good news is that researchers are beginning to understand what people need to be better, mentally. Things like exercising, eating well, spending time in nature, and meditating have all shown to be highly beneficial to positive mental health.

Focus on Rest

Finally, remember that while working up a sweat is good for you, it’s also important to get plenty of rest. A solid night’s sleep will be the foundation for a healthy body and mind! If this is something that you struggle with, then look at making some changes to your sleeping habits. Avoiding screens and having a calming tea before bed will help you to reach the land of Nod.
