Holiday Gift Guide Day 7 Long Story Short Game by Game Chef

Image
Christmas, New Year's Eve...families get together and love to play games and have fun. This game is so fun, even for the teen crowd! Just from the explanation it is a teen game. Hilarious game of truths, twists, tweets and texts. Long Story Short is a hit party game that mixes social media with the time-tested fun of storytelling. Each round, the Storyteller shares an experience or story with the group using the fun story starters. The storyteller tells a story that is either true or false. Players then make the long story short by creating a headline, drawing a picture, writing a text, or crafting a tweet for the story told. Players compete for the best short story. Long Story Short will have everyone ROTFL for hours. LOL! This can be played with kids 13 and up and you can have 4-8 players. If you have more people than that it is good to make teams. Long Story Short is a game fun even in teams. The silly stories that are made up are guaranteed to keep you and your friends

Anabella Giggles All Night Book Review

Image
Does your little girl love all things pink? This would be just the book for them! There is such a cute girlie story in this book. Lots of laughing and playing with friends. My daughter loves this book due to the girl having freckles. Our 9 year olds nickname is Freckles. I fully recommend this book for any little girl aged 3-7.

Spanish / English Learning Program for Children - THE EARTH / LA TIERRA

Image
This book is the FOURTH in a series of bilingual books for children to either learn Spanish or English. THE EARTH - LA TIERRA teaches about the continents on earth. The book is accompanied by a website were the book is available in an animated format as well as many games to practice the vocabulary. I believe I have gotten to do a review on the first 3 books in the series already. Please feel free to check them out under the book reviews and baby and teen product reviews. Each of these books is very colorful. They are very child friendly. We just did a review for another Spanish/English product and it was supposed to be for kids and it was definitely not. I am thankful to Happy Language Kids for being so friendly. If you are just learning to speak Spanish this is even good for you. It helps you learn the basics. Each item that they write in Spanish they write in English also. I liked this one because it showed countries and continents. Each page was a character dressed in cost

Academic Planner Review

Image
I am a home school mom. This was a great product to get to test out. I home school only 2 of the 6 kids in the house but the 2 I do teach are teens. I say that to show that we have to have everything as planned as possible. Having 6 children make that a necessity also. We are lucky enough to test this at the perfect time. It has a 2013-14 calendar in it. The pages are nice and sturdy not some flimsy ones. The outside is made of a semi stiff material also. All in all this is the best planner for home schooling I have found yet. My only problem with doing this review is that they didn't give me a website so that I can put on here where to find or a price. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Secret Clinical Strength Completely Clean Clear gel & Invisible Solid

Image
When doing this review I tried to do a vs comparison with clean vs solid. It really didn't work as they were both great! What I did think was weird is that the Invisible Solid said to apply before bed. I don't know anyone who puts deodorant on before bed. The solid went on smooth no icky residue. The clear gel wasn't greasy. Also didn't hurt when used right after shaving. Usually gels burn if you use right after shaving. I do not know a price yet as these are coming out at the beginning of 2014. Great deodorant and both were great! You can check out all the types of Secret deodorants at www.Secret.com Five Lil Bass In Tow was sent these both through Vocalpoint to test and post my honest review.

Nuby Octopus Floating Bath Toy Review

Image
Super fun bath toy! Our baby loved her bath time and didn't want to get out! This cute toy has 3 rings to toss onto the legs. Our little ones loves the different bumps and textures on her gums. I know this isn't a teething toy but she chews on everything and these rings are not an exception. I love the face on the octopus! So cute and very friendly looking. I also loved that the octopus didn't have a hole in the bottom so it will not fill with water and get mildewed. Just sit on the side of the tub or in a mesh toy holder and off you go. No mess! ◦18 months + ◦Floats in water ◦Helps develop hand-eye coordination ◦Fun colors and shapes stimulate the senses ◦Includes 3 rings to toss and fit onto the Octopus arms ◦BPA FREE You can buy this toy at amazon http://www.amazon.com/Nuby-Octopus-Bath-Time-Toss/dp/B008CDR7LW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386116574&sr=8-1&keywords=Octopus+Floating+Bath+Toy for $6.99 Bed Bath and Beyond http://www.bedbath

Nuby Gator Grip™ Pop-up™ Sipper Review and Giveaway

Image
This Nuby Pop Up Sipper has made a HUGE hit with my 6 year old son! We still make the kids use sippy cups in the living room or to use in their rooms. My son opened the box and jumped with excitement. He doesn't get a lot of my review stuff. He ran upstairs telling everyone in the house he got an alligator cup! The colors are bright the gripper is perfect for his little hands. I love the gripper so that when it is full of cold water the condensation doesn't make him drop his cup! See how bright the colors are?! Nuby has all different colors! The pull spout is a soft rubber spout not the hard plastic as the cup. I think it helps the seal on the cup when you put the spout down. I have not had a leak issue with the spout down and it barely seeps out when the lid is up. Perfect for his age group of 6. ◦2 years + ◦15oz / 450ml ◦Pop-up™ spout ◦Free flow ◦Fun bright colors ◦Perfect for on the go drinking ◦BPA FREE I love that ALL Nuby items are BPA free, a much safe

Nuby Dual-Flo™ Nickelodeon™ Printed Hard Spout Cup

Image
Nuby has these for boys and girls. The boys get SpongeBob and the girls get Dora.

Other than that awesome cup!! I love the color. It is top dishwasher safe. You can use the short piece on your bottle brush to keep the sipper piece clean. I also like that there is a place to write the child's name on it. You can buy from Amazon for $7.49 each http://www.amazon.com/Dora-Explorer-No-Spill-Sippy-Purple/dp/B00FZ3Y4LI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1386094196&sr=8-2&keywords=Nuby+Dora Or you can get at Dollar General for $3.49 each http://www.dollargeneral.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12596721

Day 1 Holiday Gift Guide - Giant Microbes with Giveaway

Image
Giant Microbes are the most unique gift I have found yet! These Microbes are cute, some are cuddly and a great gift to give! Cancer is a frightening prospect. But the newest drugs and medical advances are helping to cure more people than ever. Our Cancer cell can be cured by turning it inside-out! The Cancer Microbe was kinda neat in the aspect that when it is all grey and cancerous it has a frown on it's face where the zipper is and then when it is white and cured it has a smile on it's face. Cancer is a big thing in our family as we have has way to many family and friends die from it. My oldest daughter is considering going into children's oncology because of it. It is a quick and deadly disease. This was the perfect gift for my daughter. It's grey side was slightly stiff to the touch but the white side was nice and soft, cuddly!
