My favorite smoothie cup.



We love to drink smoothies and milkshakes in our home and when I got this cup I knew right away it would be my new favorite cup to drink from. This is a 16 oz cup that has a screw on lid with a straw. The stainless steel is perfect for smoothies and milkshakes. When I drink a milkshake from one of these cups I am brought back to my youth when I would have milkshakes at the diner.

This is a heavy duty, well made, stainless steel cup and a great addition to our kitchen.

You can find this Stainless Steel cup on Amazon.

Family Game Night with Roosterfin



Our family loves to play games and with it getting colder outside this is what we turn to on rainy, cold, or snowy days when the children can't go outside to play. Yes we play games in the spring and summer, just not as much as in the colder months. What can I say we are blessed with children who would rather be outside playing then inside cooped up.

Recently we had the chance to try out three new to our family games from Roosterfin through a featured party opportunity from Tryazon. We were able to try out Rooster Race, Lumpy Cubes, and Mohawks.

What we loved most about the games from Roosterfin is that they were new and different from other games available, which is what we strive for.


Here we are opening and learning about the games while having fun doing it.


First Game up
Mohawks







Mohawks is a really fun game to play. Each player gets two balls of the same color and you have to bounce them on a table into the goal. We had lots of fun with this. You could also play with 6 people with 2 of each being on a team if you want to change up the game a little. 




Lumpy Cubes





Lumpy Cubes is awesome and probably the one we had the most fun with. As you can see I was the big winner tonight. Very easy to play up to 4 people unless you want to do teams. You flip a card over and everyone playing needs to put their cubes together in the same order as the card says. First person with the right combination wins. 






Rooster Race



Rooster Race was really fun as well. I would suggest that there be more corn included because we ran out and had to use slips of paper for corn. In this game everyone is dealt cards with one card being left face up on the table. You then take turns guessing if your card is going to be lower or higher, if you guess right you get a corn, wrong and you lose a corn. When all cards are flipped over the winner will be the one with the most corn.





What we like about all of the games from Roosterfin is that they are easy to set up, playtime is quick, and the games keep everyone involved. I look forward to trying out more games from Roosterfin in the future. 


You can find Roosterfin games on their website or on Amazon.

Feeling Fluffy



Love these little wool balls, they have changed the way we dry our clothes. I can't dry our clothes outside because of allergies, but I can use the dryer and now that I have these wonder balls, my laundry comes out wrinkle and static free.

Our towels haven't been this soft in years. The best part is I save so much money plus there are not toxic chemicals being added to my clothes.

Going green is easy with these wool balls, if you are looking for a way to go green try the feeling fluffy wool dryer balls out for yourself.

Canvas for your paint







Last Christmas we bought our older daughter a easel and paint set but of course the beginning set only had two tiny canvases to paint on, which left her wanting more. Luckily we were able to review these Professional Canvases from US Art Supply.

These are much better than the two that came with her easel and she is finally making more art. Check out her first painting above. She is very happy with the results are as we. She was told she could have them all but she had to take one and make something I will put with her pictures on our wall when we move.

The quality is much better than I have seen in our local stores, and something I will be adding to her wish list for the Holidays this year. I love that there were 10 pieces in all as well as having 5 different sizes for varied perspective.

Old becomes New again






We have had lots of Rubik's cubes over the years but none quite like this. This is awesome, I don't have to worry about the children pulling off of the stickers although I think only 2 out 6 even did this, but I also don't have to worry about them taking it apart to put back together again, which is something I did as a child myself.

The colors are bright, cheery, and fun. This is a really nice gift for children who like to use their hands as well as being a great stocking stuffer.
