My Thoughts on Eitech My husband loves to build! When I say that I mean build anything and everything. From restoring cars to building models, not just model cars but also trains, rockets, and other kits! Among the models he enjoys are kits such as Eitech! Eitech is a company that I had not heard of before but I now know that Eitech kits will be on the wish list for husband from here on out! We received a three in one kit from Eitech and I was thrilled! My husband was not only able to finish one model but 3! There was a crane, windmill, and a gantry crane! Each model took him well over an hour to build which I thought was awesome because it was a challenge to him. There are many parts to the Eitech kits and each kit is compatible with each other. Meaning that your building possibilities are endless! There are MANY different Eitech kits to choose from and can be purchased for ages 8+! Some of the Eitech kits include rocking horse, airplane, semi truck, motorcycle, fairs … [Read more...]
Conair Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Conair I own many Conair products. My hair dryers, flat iron, and about six curling irons plus my hair brushes as well. Conair has been a product of choice since I was a kid and my mom and grandma ran a day spa. The hair dressers in their shop always used Conair products and thus they became my favorite brand as well. I was fortunate enough to receive some Conair products for the purpose of my review and as I expected they were wonderful. I received two hair brushes. One of the hair brushes has a gel grip. This allows the brush to form to my hand for a more comfortable hold. It also has more of a cushion for the bristles which helps to loosen the strain on my hair during brushing. My daughter likes it that way because other brushes pull her hair more than Conair’s gel brush! The second hair brush is a round tourmaline ceramic brush that allows my hair to blow dry faster and will help my hair to hold a cruel more easily. The ceramic brush is also infused with Ions … [Read more...]

Twas the Night Before Christmas Review
My Thoughts on Twas the Night Before Christmas Cartoon I love watching the Christmas time cartoons on TV but, one I was surprised to have never seen before is T’Was the night before Christmas'. Today my whole family was feeling under the weather so we took a day off and had a family movie day. T’was the night before Christmas was a cutest movie we seen today. I loved the plot as well as the characters. The movie is focused around saving Christmas as tragically Santa has decided not to stop off in their little town. Why? You will have to watch the movie to see! Will they be able to save Christmas in time? Will the town be able to change Santa’s mind and get him to visit the children? Come watch how one man (and one mouse) are willing to do anything to save Christmas! I am so glad to have added this to my family collection as they just don't make Christmas cartoons as good as they used to! Ashes thoughts Age 5 I loved hearing the clock sing. The mouse was cute and he … [Read more...]
Hasbro Girl Talk review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Hasbro’s Girl Talk I loved Hasbro’s Girl Talk game when I was a kid. What fun it was to play games and get to know my friends! Hasbro has came up with a new version of Girl Talk that contains all the fun that we would all expect from any Hasbro game! Hasbro's Girl Talk contains confetti, and faux jewels! You throw the fetti in the air and then randomly select one of each of the three fetti colors which are rectangles, circles, and squares. After grabbing the fetti pieces you look at the random words and then use them to make up a dare! For each dare completed you will earn a jewel! What fun. The creativity is endless and your girls will be full of laughs and giggles as they each have to think up something fun and creative with their fun fetti pieces! I played this game with my daughter who was a little young for it but, we still had a blast together. I also am a Primary Leader for girls ages 8-11 and I know they will enjoy playing this game for one of … [Read more...]
Bratz Pampered Petz Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Bratz I have never allowed my daughter to play with Bratz dolls or even have anything that resembles Bratz. But I decided I better not judge a book by its cover. In other words I had never even seen the cartoon so I thought I'd better give it a chance. Movie: Pros- I really enjoyed the story behind this movie. It is neat that they are teaching the children about animals and they want to do something to help all of the animals that have no home. The girls teamed up to help out a stranger and save some animals in the process. I was also surprised that some of them gave up a trip to the spa to help. The extra characters in the movie were fun and I really liked the story line behind the cartoon. I actually found myself wanting to know what was going to happen. Cons- I am disappointed by the materialism in this movie. Within the first five minutes the girls were talking about going to the spa and getting manicures. Not something I want my daughter to focus on as … [Read more...]

Hasbro’s Cuponk Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Hasbro’s Cuponk Shopping for pre-teen boys is the hardest for me. What in the world do you get a pre-teen boy that is "cool"? This year I know that the boys are getting Cuponk by Hasbro. Cuponk is a fun game that the kids can play by themselves or with their friends. The object of the game is to bounce a ball into a cup. There are many tricks and different ways you can accomplish that feat. The cup is decorated in a "cool" fashion and is appealing to kids of that age. I also like how simple it is to play and there are only a few pieces to the game which makes it easier to keep track of. Another feature that I love about Cuponk is that the cup lights up and makes sounds when someone scores the ball in the cup! Cuponk includes a cup, 2 cuponk balls, 30 trick cards, an instruction guide, and a ramp! Cuponk was super fun to play with my family. The trick cards were a blast to try out. Some of them worked like a charm for me and others I will have to keep trying until I … [Read more...]

My Thoughts on Hasbro’s Spiderman and Star Wars Action Figures I have a four year old little brother and it never fails there is one thing I always hear about.

No matter what your child’s favorite might be Hasbro has the action figure you are looking for. I received a Spiderman and Star Wars Action Figure for the purpose of my review. I was thrilled with them and can’t wait to surprise my brother and nephew this Christmas with some fun action heroes! Spiderman Action Figure contains a Battle Card as well as fun accessories to aid in your child’s play time! I love the Spiderman Arctic Attack the best because he comes with a snow board which is super cute since we have lots of snow right now in our Colorado Mountains! The Star Wars Action Figures come with their interactive Battle game play … [Read more...]

I received a teleidoscope for the purpose of my review. To be honest I had never heard of a teleidoscope so I was very excited to get my hands on this beautiful handcrafted piece of wood! Okay so let me first tell you about the packaging. The package arrived and everything was nice and packaged very neatly. The teleidoscope as well as it's stand was placed in a solid black bag to prevent it from getting scratched or having any damage happen to the gorgeous wood. As I took it out of the bag I was in ‘Ah’ over how beautiful the grains are in the wood. The craftsmanship is astounding and the quality is top of the line! These Kaleidoscopes really are worth every penny! I also love the … [Read more...]

My Thoughts on Adventures in Odyssey The Adventures in Odyssey, what can I say? I am addicted! I mean I can't stop listening to the cd! Every night when I am cooking dinner I put in the cd and listen to the fun mysteries.

My daughter finds the stories thrilling and loves to listen to the CD’s with me as I am cooking dinner.

Unlike books on tape you can clearly hear each character and what they must be feeling. I love the Adventures in Odyssey stories and can’t … [Read more...]
Firefly ToothBrush Review
My Thoughts on Firefly Toothbrush My daughter loves to brush her teeth. She does it like ten times a day. There is one concern my daughter has each time she brushes and that is if she is brushing for the correct amount of time. Believe me with how much she brushes I am not worried at all. But, I am tired of her asking me to time her every hour. Firefly has created a kid friendly toothbrush that lights up for the designated time you should brush your teeth. Now that my daughter is able to brush until the light stops she does not have to ask me to set the timer anymore! Plus the toothbrush is so fun to use that she wants to brush even more then before and I guess there is no such thing as brushing your teeth too much is there? Firefly makes fun designs such as Spiderman, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Snoopy, Scooby, Bratz, Curious George, Tweety Bird, Superman, Batman, and Hello Kitty! The light flashes quickly with a touch of a button (located at the top or bottom of brush) The … [Read more...]
Preschool is Cool: Counting With Elmo Review
My Thoughts on Preschool is Cool: Counting With Elmo Ok I am going to tell you all something crazy. I never saw Sesame Street as a kid. That is crazy Right? I mean everyone watched Sesame Street when I was a kid. I don’t know why I never watched it but always felt a little left out when all of my friends talked about it. Ok enough with that. I was able to review Preschool is Cool! Counting with Elmo and since I want to make sure my daughter never misses out on the benefits of watching Sesame Street I knew I had to review this! Elmo seems to be one of the top favorite characters on the show. I myself love Elmo as well. Elmo is so cute, fluffy, and red. Counting with Elmo had Professor Grover as a teacher for your young children. Elmo is the "big helper" for Grover’s counting lesson. But, during the movie Grover seems to have forgotten some of the numbers and he must rely on Elmo and the other students to help him out. I love the creative stories that Sesame Street comes … [Read more...]
Pocoyo World Review and Giveaway
My Thoughts on Pocoyo World I have never heard of or seen this cartoon and neither has my daughter. But there is still one thing I know and that is I promote fun interactive games for kids especially ones that are kid friendly! Poyoco World seems to be just that! Pocoyo World has fun games for the children to play. The first game that I played with my daughter was a recycling game. She was able to learn about how plastic, glass, and tin all go into different bins. There are also games to teach kids about growing their own garden, golfing, guessing games with animal sounds, there is places to learn some dance moves or a playground to let your little person play! There is so much fun to be had at Pocoyo World. My daughter and I could not believe everything they had to offer. There will be hours of fun time spent here together learning and growing! My daughter’s favorite is catching butterflies! My favorite game is the Racing! I would love for you to check it out and tell me your … [Read more...]
