Easter Guide 2021

We got most of the items in the guide free in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are our own.

 

Easter has always been a huge day in our home.  Little guy looks forward to this day more then any other he loves the basket and finding eggs.  The funny thing is he is not that into the candy he loves getting other items.  I love that we can fill his basket with fun toys and he is not getting a ton of sugar.  I also love making the rest of the family baskets with great spring items they will love.  We found some awesome basket items the family is going to love.

Creatto

I love giving little guy a toy he can not only build, but will have a purpose after it is built.  Creatto has a great line of our favorite animals that after you are done building they light up.  They make a perfect night light for little guy.  This Magical Moose & Forest Friends set can me 1 of 4 different guys.  Creatto is a simple yet versatile building system that consists of just two primary components that can be woven together into countless 3D creations. The flexible yet durable plastic tiles interlock quickly and easily for all skill levels; no additional materials or hardware required! Each Creatto kit includes assembly instructions for four different configurations, but the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Add strings of colored LED lights to illuminate your works of art from the inside out. Creatto is available in a variety of designs for $9.95-$29.95 and is for Ages 6+.

Pixicade

This is a great toy for any kid who loves to draw and create.  Homeschoolers LOVE Pixicade as it can help teach literacy, art, history, and even Bible! Game schooling with Pixicade is easy and can be used with most curriculums. 21st Century skills like analytic reasoning, analysis, teamwork, and critical thinking are taught by the process of using the Pixicade books and turning one’s art into games. By creating a game and taking ownership of it, people develop self-esteem, pride, and confidence in themselves. One game, but so many reasons to play!

 

Stick-O

Little guy loved Stick-O they come out with a few new sets and they can all work together.  I love that I can buy him different ones in the series and they make a whole new world for him.  The Forest Friend set makes cute little animals that are adorable.  Stick-O Forest Friends 16Pc Set pieces are big enough for his little hands and easy to use.  Explore the great outdoors with The Stick-O Forest Friends 16Pc Set. Kids can use their imagination to build adorable animal friends including an elephant, duck, caterpillar, bunny and more. The Forest Friends 16Pc Set includes 3 Spheres, 3 Sticks, 2 Discs and other magnetic accessories including bunny ears, flowers, cones, flower pots, and elephant ears. MSRP $24.99; ages 18m+

 

Mad MattR

We love the Mad MattR if you have a sensory seeking little one they are going to have a blast.  They have some out with a few new items that would wow any Easter Basket this year.  The mini Mad MattR is awesome.  They come in a reseal package and they are mystery colors. The Glow kit is bigger and like it says it glows which my little guy thinks is awesome, it even comes with a UV light.  Mad MattR is easy to shape and mold and best of all never dries out.  If you are anything like me the Never Dries out sold me.  I can’t tell you how many things I have just thrown into the trash after one use because something didn’t seal right and it was dried out.

 

Poppers

How cute are these for an Easter Basket.  Hours of fun for the kids and even for our puppys.  They come in cute Easter designs and are a perfect no candy gift for your little ones.  Flying Bunny & Flying Chick Poppers (Hog Wild): A whimsical and iconic Easter-themed twist on two of Hog Wild’s latest Poppers! The new FLYING BUNNY and FLYING CHICK are super cute additions for Easter baskets everywhere!  (Available on Amazon!)

 

EggMazing

We have loved EggMazing from the first time we got to use it.  Little guy loves that he can decorate eggs and his hand do not get dirty.  It is fun and easy to use. The EggMazing Egg Decorator (Hey Buddy Hey Pal): Mess-free egg decorating! The machine holds and spins hard-boiled eggs; you hold a marker on the egg as it spins, creating stripes, lines and other fun designs! As seen on Shark Tank! Check out the video here: https://bit.ly/2EtW9Gg (Available at TARGET!)

 

Pop-to-Rock Poppy
  Trolls are a huge hit this year.  I love that they have some of the best toys out there that every troll lover is going to want.  DREAMWORKS TROLLS Pop-to-Rock Poppy Poppy can go from her fun pop look to a hard rock look with this doll, which includes a change of outfits.  I love that you can change her outfits and rock with her.

Go Pop
  When I saw the  Go Pop  I fell in love.  little guy needs great sensory toys that can help him calm down and this was perfect.  It’s funny a week before we got it his teacher was suggesting it and bam we saw it and I knew she was right.   This is a great fidget toy they is not loud but will keep there hands busy and their minds calm for a few minutes.  We have used it everyday and I LOVE it.

ChapStick
  One of my all time favorite Easter Basket fillers is ChapStick They have so many awesome spring scents out.  Even better they have hydrating which I really need this time of year.  They are the perfect side to add to an Easter Basket and if you buy bigger eggs you can even fit one in each egg for hunting.  I like to make sure I am stocked up all year round. Want even better news if you head to their site you can even personalize your Chapstick how awesome is that.  Some of the best out this season are  ChapStick Total Hydration Moisture + Tint + SPF 15, Total Hydration Essential Oils Chill and the ChapStick Coffee Collection
Salonpas
  For a lot of us as we get a little older everything hurts.  This is especially true for our family who have broken almost everything.lol  Salonpas  has a wide range of products that I use all year round.  This is just the basket I need for a summer of playing hard and let’s be honest hurting myself.  When I get hurt I don’t get to take a day off.  I need to rally and with Salonpas that is not a problem.  I love that they even came out with a great Arthritis Pain Relief Gel.  This gel has really helped me when my legs start acting up while I am trying to sleep. This gel was a life saver, or should I say a sleep saver. lol

Cross-State Moves Don’t Have To Feel So Daunting

If you’ve found yourself a new home, then it’s obvious that you need to plan out the moving phase with great care. However, when that move involves going across state lines, it’s a little more demanding than simply choosing a day to have a friend show up with a rental van. You need to plan well ahead, making sure that nothing gets left behind or left to chance. Here are a few ways you can prepare for that big move.

 

 

Don’t bring the kitchen sink

As soon as you have a date decided on when you’re going to move, you should get the ball rolling with taking care of all of your possessions. This does mean that, yes, you should start organizing and packing away the things that you’re not going to need. When it comes to the last few days before moving day, the only things you should have unpacked are the things you’re going to use over those few days. What’s more, you should take the time to downsize as you pack as well. Find ways to donate, sell, or dispose of what you don’t need anymore and cast a very scrutinous eye over what should and should not make the trip, to begin with.

 

Get help early

Aside from beginning to downsize and pack as early as possible, you should make sure that you’ve pinned down what help you are going to need to help you make the trip. The longer a trip on the road is, the more chances of bumps and turns causing damage to the goods inside, so you need a long distance moving crew to help. They make use of the equipment necessary to secure everything down in place. However, moving companies tend to have all their timeslots fill up as you get closer to a specific date. As such, as soon as you decide what date you’re moving, you should try to figure out how much space you are going to need and book an appointment with the crew you need asap.

 

Think about what you’re doing with your car

If you drive a car, motorcycle, or have any other vehicles of any other size, you have to think about how they are making the trip. You can make a road trip out of it, which requires its very own preparation. However, if you’re flying instead of driving, then how is your vehicle going to make the trip. You can hire trucks to drop it off at your new home for you, timing it to arrive at roughly at the same time as your moving van and you are supposed to make it. However, some people also simply make the choice to sell their old vehicle on one side and buy a new one on the other.

 

With the tips above, hopefully, you can make a long-distance move a lot less stressful. It’s always going to be at least a little bit of a hassle, of course, but you can plan ahead to make sure that it is at least doable.

Giveaway: Jabuka Adds A New Twist To Easter Baskets

 


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

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.
