Since we prefer to keep Luv "unplugged", we don't use our television much at all. If the weather isn't cooperating, we turn to books and other indoor activities. So we are always looking for fun games to play together! Blue Orange recently sent us one of their eco-friendly games to play.[*] The basics of Fastrack: * Divvy up the 10 discs … [Read more...]
Big G Retro Cereals Oh how happy I was to see a few things come back from my childhood. Big G has introduced (*and sent to me) retro cereals with packaging from the 50's, 60's and 80's! I was born in the Sixties, so I am especially excited about these, of course. I have many fond memories of enjoying a bowl of cereal while watching classic … [Read more...]
COLOR CROSS ONLINE I haven't played Facebook games in quite awhile (I guess that is a good thing, as I have been really busy on my blog). I was asked to play a new Facebook game to get my thoughts on it (*and was compensated to do so). Sure, I figured, why not. It is nice to take a break from working sometimes, right? Color Cross Online … [Read more...]
Bicycle Playing Cards - Jacked Up From the time I was a little girl, I remember playing cards with my friends. Playing cards could keep me entertained for hours, as there were so many choices (including playing alone, when nobody was around or available. Solitaire anyone? ). As I entered my teen years, my mom and I would play a really … [Read more...]
With the holidays quickly approaching, I am sure that you are all trying to come up with the perfect gifts for the children in your lives. As a parent, myself, I have found it rather difficult this year to find something that is actually worth purchasing. It’s been said that a child’s imagination never changes but the tools that we provide them … [Read more...]
Every since one of my contributors did a Reverse Charades review, I have been dying to try this game. Since we have quite a few gatherings at our new vacation home, this sounded like the perfect game to play with a fun group of people! It is a twist on the classic Charades game, but in this case, a whole team acts out the word. What I … [Read more...]
A while back I used to be obsessed with games like Farmville, Frontierville, and a couple other "-ville" games on Facebook. I stopped playing all of them, some because they got too complicated, some I just lost interest in. I was recently asked to play Tail Towns Friends and see how I like it. When I first started the game it was automatically … [Read more...]
I was refereeing a typical toddler squabble when I heard a knock at the door. “Publisher’s Clearing House! You just won $5,000 a week for life! You’ll have to forgive me for the lack of balloons… there’s a helium shortage, you know.” Cue the confetti! Sound the alarms! Bring in the band! Wait… what? As amazing as it would have been … [Read more...]
In a world that has become driven by technology, finding the time to enjoy the outdoors or even enjoy a simple board game seems to be easier said than done. However, I am very thankful to have grown up during a time that was the exact opposite and I hope to instill the same appreciation for the “simple” things in my own children. Morphology … [Read more...]
I have always enjoyed games where I have to think quickly. I love a challenge, and the board game Flippin' Out certainly provides this challenge as well as a whole lot of fun! My friend and I decided to play this with her daughter and step-daughter, so we set up the board according to the directions and got right down to business. What is … [Read more...]
