Leapfrog Epic Tablet Review Holiday 2015

November 21, 2015November 21, 2015 - brandy3 2 Comments

My kids are fully into electronics now, they use them for homework, games, email to keep in contact with old friends and so much more. I do worry about their safety online though and have set tons of parental controls. My youngest wants to go on the computer but I worry about his safety as he is so young. Now I don’t have to worry with the new Leapfrog Epic Tablet.

Leapfrog Epic Tablet is all tablet. It’s very different from the leap pads and tablets they have introduced before that could be used with gam cartridges. This is strictly a tablet and you can download the games from the Leapfrog app center.
It has a few things preloaded into it like cute videos and games.
It also has a parent center where you can put a limit on how much time your child is allowed. You can add in links of sites you will allow your child on and those will be the only websites they have access too.
Leapfrog Epic Tablet is a great gift for younger children who love playing with their parents electronic devices, but without the worry of them going to a inappropriate site, or posting that hideous picture of you hiding in your phone.

My son loves this tablet, although I have given him a bit of free access to a lot of sites that he loves. Leapfrog Epic Tablet also comes with a rubber case to help protect the tablet from those unfortunate drops. My daughter loves the voice recorder on it. She records herself singing or just uses it to remind herself of something. It’s the perfect learning tool for little kids as it helps you with time, geography, math and so much more.

You can find the LeapFrog Epic Tabet at retailers nationwide.

WubbleX Is More Fun Than A Bubble

November 20, 2015 - brandy3 2 Comments

Disclosure: This is a compensated post that also provided product. All opinions are 100% my own.

The WubbleX is a anti gravity ball.

The WubbleX seems like a mixture of a balloon and a bubble. We didn’t know what to expect at first since it was anti-gravity was it going to float away or something. You start out by inflating the ball and since it is a helium inflated ball it only uses the Wubble cans, which can be expensive themselves. I picked mine up at Walmart for $10. The can only lasts about one use.
The WubbleX ball is a lot of fun. My kids love bubbles but they are hard to catch and burst to fast. The WubbleX is like a Bubble that doesn’t pop unless it hits something pointy of course.

My kids loved playing with it but the and-gravity didn’t last to long and the WubbleX started to come down after a hour or two. Within a few days it was totally deflated and my kids were begging me to go buy another because they loved it.
The come in all different colors too blue, green and pink.

Glo Wubble Bubble Ball is lasting Fun

November 19, 2015 - brandy3 2 Comments

Disclosure: This is a compensated review and also features a product. All opinions are 100% my own.

All I have been seeing in commercials and ads is the Wubble ball, but I was skeptical as it looks more like a bubble that will easily pop.

The Glo Wubble Bubble ball looks like a bubble, plays like a ball. Inflates up to 3 feet. Starts out small and 2 minutes later, it’s 3 feet tall. Made from super-thermo-stretch-tacular stuff. Catch it, kick it, squeeze it and make it fly.

** My kids absolutely love this ball. As I had mentioned above I was really skeptical about this ball and it’s not as sturdy as I thought, but it has lasted. I had some trouble when we first went to blow it up with the pump provided in the box. I couldn’t get the pump to go through and had to puncture it just a bit.
The Glo Wubble was able to blow up and stayed a good size but because I punctured it had a slow leak and hours later was almost fully deflated. WE just reflated it and taped the hole. The Glo Wubble can be reused many times and my kids inflate it daily and go outside to play catch.

The ball does glow in the dark after you hole it up to the light for a while. Ours didn’t seem to glow to much but the kids still found it fascinating.
I also noticed the ball seemed a bit sticky and would stick to the ground a bit which made it get dirty very fast.
We have had this ball for a few weeks and my kids have played with it everyday inside and out.

Chibi-Robo Zip Lash For 3DS Review

October 22, 2015 - brandy3 1 Comment

Disclosure: No formal compensation was received. Products were provided for review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Chibi-Robo Zip Lash is a tiny hero. Chibi-Robo must swing his plug to whip enemies, reach far-off platforms and solve environmental puzzles, as well as collect upgrades to extend his plug for getting hard-to-reach collectibles and uncovering hidden areas.

*** This game has been so addicting for me, I am just determined to beat a level. Every level and world is totally different with different challenges. Chibi Robo uses his Zip Lash to defeat enemies, as well as swing from area to area and more.
My kids love this game is challenging but fun and that you can use the Amiibo with it and change Chibi-Robo up.

We are still in the process of getting through levels, but one thing I don’t really like about the game is you don’t get to choose the level to play. You spin a wheel and that chooses how many spaces you move. So we have been stuck playing the same levels that have already been completed. You can buy panels to add to the wheel to make sure you get to the level you need, but that becomes a pain. If you get really stuck on a level you can choose to pay through it with the coins that you have collected.

This game is available now at retailers nationwide. Visit Nintendo for more information and other new games available like Mario Maker and Yoshi’s Woolly World

The Mutts Diaries Comic Book Giveaway

September 30, 2015October 15, 2015 - brandy3

The treasured characters in the MUTTS comics have a special charm to kids and adults of all ages. The friendship, warmth, and humor between characters that are seemingly unlikely matches create a special dynamic that will warm your heart. The graphic novel style collection of the MUTTS diaries introduces some of the cast members through a variety of their most popular comic strips.
With winter on the way, there could not have been a better time to open up this book, so I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of The Mutts Winter Diaries, the second Mutts collection for kids! If you are a fan of MUTTS, you will love this collection. It, of course, has all of our favorite characters – Shtinky Puddin’, Sourpuss, Guard Dog, Bip and Bop, and even Crabby. The strips that McDonnell uses for this collection are quirky and thought provoking, perfect for inspiring children to care for animals and their environment.

Patrick McDonnell created the comic strip MUTTS, which now appears in over 700 newspapers in 20 countries. MUTTS has been described by Peanuts creator Charles Schulz as “One of the best comic strips of all time.” McDonnell has received numerous awards for this strip, including the National Cartoonists Society’s highest honor, The Reuben, for Cartoonist of the Year.
MUTTS also won awards for its environmental and animal advocacy: two Genesis Awards from The Ark Trust, The HSUS Hollywood Genesis Award for Ongoing Commitment, the PETA Humanitarian Award, and a Sierra Club award, all for good reason. We love the awareness the author brings to shelter animals and animals that are tied up outdoors. It is such a great life lesson and the MUTTS diaries make it an easy transition into teaching our kids about how to treat animals.
McDonnell’s website, MUTTScomics.com, promotes his animal- and earth-friendly philosophy. Consistent with McDonnell’s concern for the environment, all of the MUTTS books are printed on recycled paper. So not only do you get a great, heart-warming book, but you get to feel great about it too!
To coincide with the release of the new book, The Mutts Winter Diaries, Richard Leeds International has designed a cozy nightshirt to give you the sweetest of dreams.
We think that you will love The Mutts Winter Diaries as much as we did, and we want to give you a chance to get your very own copy of the book, as well as a special Comics sleep shirt.

Trendy Shirts From 3rd Culture Style #HHG14

December 22, 2014 - brandy3

Disclosure: No formal compensation was received. A product was provided by the company. All opinions are 100% my own.

I love new trendy shirts, specially ones that are a perfect fit. I love showing my personality on my shirt. 3rd Culture Style has shirts that just fit my day to a T. They are so perfect and you can wear them anywhere.

3rd Culture Style is a international streetwear/lifestyle apparel imprint founded by world renowned musician and producer Taku Hirano

I received the “Try and Keep Up Shirt” and it fits my everyday scenario. I am a mom of 3 so I am always on my feet and on the go, it’s hard for everyone to try and keep up.

The shirts come in different styles from tank tops to woman’s fitted and universal. I prefer the woman’s fitted. They have tons of different sayings besides “Try and Keep Up” like “Coffee Yoga Wine” and “Shoes Shoes Shoes” and more.

The shirt fit nice and maybe was just a bit tight so order a size up. My kids all complimented me on the shirt and even goofed about trying to keep up with me for the day.

To order your street wear shirt visit 3rd Culture Style.
