MyThoughts on Ratuki Myfamily is a game playing family and if the game is a card game thatjust makes it even better! Ratuki is Hasbro's new card game and it isa blast to play! Not to mention easy for the younger kids tounderstand. Ratukiis a game that is played with stacks of cards. Each card has a numberfrom 1-5 and you can play on those top cards. For example if thestack has #3 then you can play a 2 or 4 card to move each pileconsecutively up or down. When a stack reaches the #5 card then theperson playing that card yells “Ratuki” and gets to keep thestack. Ienjoyed playing this game with my family the other night and my 5year old even had a good time. Ratuki is recommended for ages 8+ andis for 2-5 players. Each game takes about 15 minutes. BuyIt! Youmay visit Hasbro.com to learn more or make a purchase!

Purosol Review
My Thoughts on Purosol I have not cleaned my computer screen in the five years that Ihave had it. I am a freak if anyone touches the screen because I don’t want itto get nasty but before Purosol I had never seen a product that I felt safeenough to spray on my screen. Purosolis an all natural formula that is safe and effective during the screen cleaningof your electronics. LCD and Plasma screens will now be a breeze! I spent theday cleaning all of the screens in my home including the computers, cellphones, T.V.’s and even my daughters hand held electronics such as her Leapsterand DS. Touse the Purosol you just spray it on the screen or cloth (that comes with it)and clean off in a circular motion. My computer and T.V. screens were coveredin finger prints and it took me a few times before I had it squeaky clean butthe Purosol really worked! I also had a day care kiddo color with a crayon onone of my T.V.’s and I was having a hard time getting that off prior to … [Read more...]

Threads West by Reid Lance Rosenthal Review
My Thoughts on Threads West By Reid Lance Rosenthal I am a sucker for a good western book so I knew that this bookwould be right up my alley! Threads West by Reid Lance Rosenthal is a storyabout seven characters. They are each on different paths in life that lead themto the New World- America! In the start of the book there is a chapter for eachof the seven main characters each have a chapter about them so you can reallyget into the story and know what their life is about. Usually I don’t likebooks with chapters that break everything up like that but Reid Lance Rosenthaldid it in a way that captivated each life and the book would not have been asgood if he did not decide to do it in that way. Of course not all of the characters in the book are good. But evenwith the bad you will see an insight into their life that will help you to havean emotional sentiment toward them…but not with everything they do! There were parts of this book that had me smiling from ear … [Read more...]
The Ricky Gervais Show Review
My Thoughts on The Ricky GervaisShow I have always lovedRicky Gervais! In my opinion he is one of the funniest comedians but I do notseen him around very much. I never knew he had his own show on HBO and up untilmy review of his first season I had not seen him do anything accept host a fewawards shows. The Ricky GervaisShow is just three good friends sitting around talking. They come up withweirdly funny stuff during their conversations and you never know what theywill talk about next. The three friends (Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, andKarl Pilkington) sit around a table and talk but, what they say is seriouslyfunny! To even spice it up a little they have animated the conversation withlittle cartoon characters of the three men! When my husband andI first seen that it really was just three guys sitting around talking we didnot know what to expect and we did not think we would find it so entertaining.Before we knew it we had watched it for two hours and still … [Read more...]
