Smashers

Now we all know my son loves throwing stuff and surprise toys so the Smashers were right up his alley.  Just like the name says Throw, Smash, and get your Surprise.  Each one is Gross and I think kind of cute at the same time.  There are over 100 disgustingly gross charters to collect.  You might even find a rare see-thru smashers.

I was wondering what the slime surprise would be was it going to be a mess?  I love that it was a little guy in a bag full of slime.

Puke Pizza Collectors Tin

Smashers

This is a cute tin the can store 50 charters. The tin also has 1 exclusive smasher.  As a mom with toys everywhere and 2 puppies that will eat everything this is awesome.  I love that we can store them all in one place without a lot of tiny guys laying around.  This is a must this holidays season.  We all hate having to pick up after the toys are opened, this is one that will make them want to clean up on their own.

Smashers

Sludge Bus

Smashers

My son loves any vehicle he can put stuff in. Even better this one opens for even more fun. This one will also hold up to 50 charters.

When you open it up it transformers into a sludgy bathroom.  There is a little plunger catapult to try and get your smashers into the toilet.  This is so much fun.  This also includes 1 exclusive smasher, 1 exclusive smasher in an eyeball, 1 sludge bus, 1 collectors guide, and 1 instruction manual. Available October 2018

The Cat In the Hat Season 2 on DVD

The Cat In The Hat

Do you remember the Cat In The Hat?  Did you know he knows a lot about that?  We love the Cat In The Hat cartoons with such a better picture quality then I remember yet the same charters that we all love this is perfect for any house with kids.

The Cat In The Hat

The Cat In The Hat is perfect for young kids.  As you know the Cat is always getting into some kind of trouble.  It is so much fun to see how he gets out of it.  Of course, he always thinks he knows best just like our little ones.  I think The Cat In The Hat has some great lessons to teach out little ones.  I love that it has such a fun way of teaching those lessons.  Season 2 has 20 episodes that are going to keep your kids sucked in.

The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That:

FLOOGALS Project Birthday Cake

Floogals

My son loves when a new FLOOGALS comes out.  Even better this birthday cake one came to him 6 days before his birthday.  He was so excited.  With FLOOGALS you get to learn about experimentation, discovery, and observation.  I love a great kid show that is 100% family friendly and they learn while watching.  I don’t have to have mommy guilt when I need a few moments alone and stick him in front of the tv. He is loving learning while watching.

FLOOGALS

These little aliens have come to earth to figure out what “hoomans” are like.  It is such a cute idea it gives you an idea of what babies must be thinking seeing everything for the first time.  Project Birthday cake was of course his favorite.  He loves cake and for my little guy it also helped teach him a little about what cakes celebrate.

We love FLOOGALS and would completely suggest it for every family.  If you need a mommy break don’t feel bad about sitting them down in front of this one.  There is a whole world out there to discover.

Floogals: Project Birthday Cake
 
In Project Birthday Cake, Boomer’s built a little fizzerific food finder attachment for his Fizzer controls. It’s supposed to be able to sniff out food – a subject close to Boomer’s heart. Flying by a massive birthday cake the food finder goes out of control and Boomer crashes. The Floogals have to work out how to re-make the frosting and in the process find out what a birthday cake and decorations are for.

Freaky Friday A New Musical on #Disney DVD September 25th

Freaky Friday

Did you know they re-made Freaky Friday?  I love that our kids can love the movie we did with an update.  One thing I found different is this one is a musical.  That’s right you can sing and dance along with your favorite charters. Ellie is the high-strung teenager while Katherine is the mother planning a wedding and trying to keep her business alive.  I have to say when I was younger with the original I was totally on the teenager’s side I was thinking wow that mom is so mean.  Now that I am a mom I can totally see the mom’s side.  This movie really does grow with you.

DynaTrap #DynaTrap #killthosebugs

I have been watching DynaTrap on QVC for a few months now and of course as you all know my house is filled with bugs.  We have been using ever thing possible to try and get rid of them.  We found a few good ideas for outside but they had to be across the yard and smelled very bad.  Which is great for some of the bugs but we have so many next to our door.  Its like they are attracted to the AC and the door has to be open because of the puppies.  So, what do we do?

We reached out the company that had the best reviews DynaTrap and I can honestly say I am so happy that I did.  The inside DynaTrap is a life saver.  Look at the sticky part picture below that was after one night.  Even with the screen door this is how many were getting in at night.  We were getting bit to death and the flies were uncontrollable.

I mean seriously look at that that was one night.

I love that I can use this in the house and not be afraid of what I am getting next to my puppies or my little guy.  This is so safe and even better I am not losing any plugs.  I am actually getting better ones.  These have the HDMI plugs and the regular plugs.  Right on the sides.

We used this one just inside the sliding glass door so it really is catching everything as they get in.  So, I am going to give DynaTrap a huge thumbs up.  I am going to have to get the outdoor ones.  Know that I know this works so well they are totally worth it.  If you have been on the fence then I say take the jump you will not be disappointed.

North Star Games #NorthStarGames #FamilyGameNight

 

North Star Games has a wide range of games your family is going to love.

Happy Salmon

This cute little guy has a game in it.  I have to say that is awesome I can bring it along with us or on a car ride and to the hotel and its not a huge box with tons of little parts.  This game is so much fun.  You pick your card color and your 12 cards turned upside down then you start flipping them and calling out your action till you match with someone doing the same action then you discard your card and go to the next.  Your goal is to be out of cards first.

I have to say I was very excited that they had alternate rules in this one for people who could not do an action.  They have different action if you can’t talk (or just needs to be a silent game) also different actions if you can not preform a task.  Having an autistic child this was very special for me.  The switch card at times could mean a melt down in our house now we can use the alternate rules to accommodate him.  I have to say North Star Games I am truly impressed you made sure everyone could be included.

 

Funky Chicken Card Game

The Funky Chicken card game is like Happy Salmon.  Same rules just different actions.  I love that you can also mix and match these games for more actions and a little harder game.  Just like Happy Salmon they also have alternative for people who cannot perform these actions.  Funky Chicken game was fun all on its own but I really suggest you buy both together.  I love that they can be alone on their own or mixed and matched.  Nothing like making a whole new game with 2 you already have.

 

Dude and More Dude

Dude

When I first saw the cover of this one I was truly wondering where they were going with this one.  A whole game where you say Dude.  After reading the rules and playing this game is genius.  So, you get your cards and like the others flip them over keep these ones to yourself.  Then you say DUDE how it is spelled and what you think it should sound like.  When you think someone has the same DUDE card as you do say it back and forth.  If you think you match say SWEET if you are right put them in your pile if you are wrong put in the discard pile. Keep going till someone is out of cards then they say CHILL and every one stops.  Then count the cards in front of you.   Who ever has the most cards wins. This was such a fun game.

 

Say Anything 10th Anniversary Edition

Say Anything

Now this one is more for the adults in our hose.  My son can’t spell yet so he is out. Of course, in this game we could just make him the judge the whole time.  Here you will answer with you best in our case funniest answer to a question.  Write it on the white board and the judge picks their favorite.  Before you know what the judge picks you use your tokens to pick your favorites.  Then you earn points for picking the same.  The most points at the end of 12 rounds win.  The answers that were coming out to this one had us laughing the whole time.  I never knew my husband had such a great seance of humor lol.

 

Make sure to check out all the great North Star Games.  Also check out another one of our favorites Monster Match Here.  Your kids are going to love finding these under the tree this year.

Off The Hook

When I met the ladies from Off The Hook in New York first thing I feel in love with was them.  I have to say they were so nice and excited about their product I had to learn more.  When I saw what it really was I was also excited.   You all know how I feel about a company that have happy and excited people working with them.  There is nothing better.

Off the hook is fantastic yarn that lets you make everything you want to without the Hooks.  First thing I thought of is when you are traveling now you can bring everything with you.  Now you can bring just this yarn and still get your projects done.  They have an awesome video that shows you exactly how to use it too.  So, you can be making hats, scarfs and so much more in no time.

I knew my son would love it because it was red and soft I did not know how great of a sensory item it would be for him.  With the holes in it and how soft it is he plays with this every day and it really calms him down.  Now if you have a little guy like mine make sure you are watching them when they are playing with it.  This is still yarn and like my son they may not know that wrapping it around them could be dangerous.  He sits next to me on the couch and just pets and plays with it.

 

As you can see from the video above you can do it.  They show you step by step so you don’t have to worry about doing it right.  Even my son loved watching the video and does it.  Of course he is autistic so he takes it apart and does it over and over.  That might be the OCD coming out. lol This is truly a fantastic gift for any age.

They are getting ready to release these great Off The Hook yarns so make sure to pre buy and stock up.  I don’t see them lasting long they will sell out fast.

Tips To Help You Always Look & Feel Your Best

There are going to be times when you realize you’re in need of some major lifestyle changes if you want to be happy and healthy in the long run. The good news is there are practical tips you can use to make sure you always look and feel your best.

No longer will you have to be dragging yourself around wishing your situation were different. Once you take charge of your own life and understand all you do have control over you’ll likely find you’re a lot more satisfied overall. Have fun with your transformation and enjoy how beautiful you look and how great you feel after making a few necessary changes.

Hit the Gym Regularly

You’ll look and feel a lot better in general when you make it a point to exercise on a routine basis. Hitting the gym regularly will not only lift your mood, but your clothes will fit better and you’ll have more natural energy. When you’re not in the mood to work out is when you likely need it the most and should push yourself to go break a sweat. There will be no denying all the benefits that will come from you giving it your all and challenging yourself to new exercises along the way.

Invest in Beauty Products

The reality is that your looks do play a part in how you feel about and carry yourself on a daily basis. You have to be willing to invest in products that fix issues you’re having with your appearance so you can feel more secure in your own skin. For example, if you’re experiencing embarrassing hair loss then turn to this company for useful solutions that will have you feeling better about yourself in no time. Growing your hair back will give you the confidence boost you need to tackle your days with a positive attitude. In addition, there are skincare products out there that will help you remove blemishes and make you glow.

Manage Your Stress

Stress not only wrecks havoc on your mind but it can make you look fairly disheveled as well. What will help you to look and feel your best almost instantaneously, is to figure out ways to proactively manage your stress consistently. For example, practice yoga, try meditation or go for long walks to help you relax after a long day of work. Your life is going to improve tremendously once you figure out how to best handle your constant worries and anxieties and refuse to let them take control over you. You’ll function a lot better at home and in the workplace and won’t feel as exhausted at the end of the day when you’re good about managing your stress.

Get Plenty of Sleep

Not enough sleep is a major reason as to why you’re not always looking and feeling your best. Commit to getting plenty of shuteye each night and waking up around the same time each day for optimal rest. Pay attention to how much time you’re spending on your electronics before bedtime and participate in a more relaxing activity instead such as reading a book or drinking a warm cup of tea. It’ll be nice not to feel so tired when you’re trying to be productive in your everyday life and attend to your responsibilities.

Update Your Wardrobe

Now is a good time to go through your closet and clean out whatever you no longer like or wear. Get rid of or donate garments that you find unattractive and replace them with trendier and more in style pieces and outfits. Updating your wardrobe will make you excited to get out of bed each day and get dressed so you always look and feel your best. Express who you are and what you stand for through your clothing and let the world better understand you as a person by what you’re choosing to wear. You’ll start to love the person who’s looking back in the mirror and will begin to come out of your shell with this type of adjustment.

Work on Building Your Self-Confidence

Each day you have the opportunity to work on your self-confidence by being open to exploring new possibilities and taking on a variety of challenges. You’ll be able always to look and feel your best when you practice self-love and appreciate you and all you have to offer. Put yourself to the test at work by speaking up and taking on difficult projects and in your personal life with your hobbies. Once you feel good in your body and you’re mentally recharged there will be no stopping you and those around you will recognize your strong sense of self-assurance and respect you more for it.

Pamper Yourself

It’s never a bad idea to set aside time in your schedule to pamper yourself and do what makes you feel happy. For instance, instead of going to happy hour after work you can opt to go get a massage or rest on the couch and watch your favorite movie. Allow yourself more time to indulge in activities that help you feel refreshed so you don’t wear yourself out. Take a warm bath, go for a walk or spend the weekend organizing your belongings, and put attending to your needs at the top of your to-do list to help you look and feel your best. Self-care is extremely important when it comes to how well you’re able to function on a daily basis and has an effect on your health and wellbeing.

Conclusion

While it’ll take a little bit of work on your part to ensure you always look and feel your best, the results will be well worth your efforts in the end. You’ll be amazed at your newfound liveliness and will have more of a desire to go after your goals and reach new heights. It’ll take some time for all to fall into place so do your best to remain patient throughout the process as you adapt.

GAMES ADULTS PLAY

As you all know we love a great game night. There is nothing better then getting together with a few friends and playing a few games. After all, who doesn’t love exposing all their secrets in a game of never have i ever… Not only do you get to know each other better but its a great way to spend the night indoors. We do family game night about once a month during the summer and a whole lot more during the winter. Who wants to go out at night in the cold and rain when you can have a lot more fun staying in.

Where would you put it? Scroll down to see if you were right.

If you are looking for some great games that will really help you know each other better you can not go wrong with GAMES ADULTS PLAY. They have a wide range of games that were all a blast to play. Not that I would of course but yes any of these could be turned into a fun drinking game. But of course I would never do that lol.

Did you get it right?

I have to say one of the best ones was Shit Happens. When you have a couple like me and Geoff that if it can go wrong it will this was right up our alley. The trick here is when you are playing always assume the worst case that could happen.

 

PLANO, TX – August 1, 2018 – Games Adults Play, a new line of wickedly fun adultparty games, is available now at Target, Walmart, Amazon and more. This collection features Sip It®, True Colors®, Tossed Salad®, Friend or Faux®, and the Shit Happens™ collection.
Test your friendships with True Colors, the revealing party game that will prove how well you know your friends, and if they really know you. True Colors features over 85 hilarious questions where players secretly cast votes for who they think fits the description.
BYOB? Don’t forget Sip It! This is the ultimate drinking game that serves up a side of laughter. Players take turns drawing cards that include tasks ranging from wildly ridiculous to mildly embarrassing. If a task is a little too sour for your taste, players must take a sip or lose points.
Tossed Salad is the fast-paced game of quick thinking and acting nasty. This charades-like game is sure to prove who has the dirtiest mind and ensure hours of laughter. Players split into two teams and must get their teammates to shout out the double entendre listed on their card.
In the Shit Happens collection, players read through the shitty situation cards and must guess their order according to their shittiness. Each of the cards are ranked from 0-100 according to The Official Misery Index. What’s worse? Stepping in dog shit or finding half a dead hooker in your bed? The player who most accurately guesses, keeps the card. There are five games in the collection, including: the original Shit Happens, the expanded Full of Shit, the Little Shits expansion packs, Too Shitty for Work edition and the 50 Shades of Shit edition.
