Super Wubble Ball Brite Review

- brandy3 1 Comment

Wubble is introducing a new fun ball to their line up. The Super Wubble Ball Brite. It’s a Wubble ball but it lights up different colors.

When we first got it my kids were so excited they loved all the Wubble Balls we have received in the past. With this ball they were more excited because they could play with it at night and not have to worry about seeing where the ball went and finding it. They had a blast playing with the Super Wubble Ball Brite.

Unfortunately some downsides we noticed. The ball only lights up for 20 seconds before you have to hit the button again. The button to light up the ball is rather hard to get to without risking putting a hole in the Wubble ball. For us we got about 45 minutes of play before our first hole arrived. We patched it and had a little more playtime before the ball deflated. The texture of the ball seemed a little different then the original Wubble Ball.When the ball was inflated it seemed just a bit heavier, but I’m sue that that is from the lighting mechanism.

Overall its a good ball if your very careful and don’t want to worry about the ball lighting up. Its just you have to pinch the ball to get to the lighting mechanism, that is what was the major cause of the hole in our ball. Lighting it up to much. The good thing about Wubble balls is they are easy to patch small holes.

You can buy the Super Wubble Ball Brite at retailers Nationwide or on their website.

- brandy3 1 Comment

One of my newest favorite games, is Tail Town Friends. It’s a game on Facebook, where you build a farm/orchard and help out your friends and community.   The more friends and business you help the more reputation you earn and move up levels.

Another way to move up in the game is by buying Tail Town Friends Figurines. There are 12 total n the first series and every figurine gives you a task to complete.

I received the nurse figurine and put the code in, I automatically received a task to help make medicine.   After all the tasks were complete, I received the Florence’s Spirit Spring. When harvested it will give you energy.  I play this game almost everyday, it’s my way to just relax after a stressful day.

Join and play Tail Town Friends Now, it’s so much fun.

Get Your Kids Outside With Backyard Safari

- brandy3

We have been big fans of Backyard Safari, since we were introduced to them a few years ago. We have so many products to help us enjoy the outdoors like the walking stick, tent, bug zapper, and more.

We were jus introduced to two more products that will make outside play even more fun.

Field Canteen:

This is so convenient, my kids always want to take a water bottle outside when they play. The Canteen lets them have water outside and I don’t have to worry about them losing the lid to the bottle. The canteen comes with a no lose cap bank and an adjustable shoulder strap.

Animal Caller:

You can call five different animals with the animal caller. The animal calls are a grizzly bear, cougar, gray wolf, American Eagle and loon. This toy has been a blast. My kids run around the backyard with the animal sounds going and pretend they are hunting or on an animal safari. Whenever they hear the bear they run and hide.

You can find both of these products on Amazon and retailers nationwide. To see all the Backyard Safari Toys visit their website.

Reading Rainbow Has A App.

- brandy3

Reading Rainbow has a new app. available for the iPad. It is geared for children ages 3-9 an gets them reading for the summer.

 

I loved Reading Rainbow when I was a kid , it was one of my favor shows. Levar Burton always had my brothers and I reading and following along.  Now that the show is gone,  want my children to have that same great experience. Luckily Reading Rainbow just came out with a new app.The app features a library of books to fit your child’s interests, video field trips to meet people and places.   The best part is it’s all hosted by LeVar Burton.

You can select a single book and view introductory videos for free, but for unlimited access it will cost $9.99 a month or $29.99 for a six month subscription.

My daughter loved reading along with the books she chose, The Rainbow Mystery.  It was an exciting and creative book.   Her favorite is the stickers you earn and can place in the story.

Mega Bloks Police Fire Patrol rescue Set

- brandy3

All missions are possible when you team up with the two Rescue vehicles of the Blok Squad Fire Patrol Rescue! Build the Fire Rescue Pumper Truck and roar through the streets of Bloktropolis with sirens blaring, carrying hundreds of gallons of water to help put out a fire. Have your Blok Squad Firefighters hook up their hoses and put out fires in even the most remote areas of Bloktropolis! Construct the Fire Patrol ATV and have your Blok Squad Firefighter ride through the toughest terrains to reach any country or city fire!

***** When we first received this set, my son would not stop begging for it to get put together. He wants to be a Fireman when he grows up, so as you can imagine this has become one of his new favorite toys.  The set is really cute, you have a fire truck that opens up to store little axes. And you can also build a small ATV, both have places for the Firemen to sit.  My only complaint is that it fell apart easily, which was to expected since they are blocks. So I have rebuilt it about 35 times in the past month. LOL!

Retail: $9.99

Rating:8

Back To School:dENiZEN from Levi’s Jeans

- brandy3 1 Comment

dENiZEN is a new brand of Jeans by trusted and loved company Levis. These jeans are exclusively available at Target Stores and online at Target.   With a wide variety of styles for men, women, and kids, dENiZEN jeans are the perfect fit for fashion and value-concious consumers.

****I received a pair of dENiZEN Jeans for my daughter to try for back to school. I really liked them! My daughter usually can’t wear jeans,because she seems to be a halfway size, either they are to big or to small.  She tried on the dENiZEN and they fit perfectly, they were just a little to long which is fine. According to my daughter they are very pretty and comfy. I wish I would have chose these for myself.

She can move around in them very easily and they are not to tight on her body, which is great for wearing at school or on the playground.

Right now if you like dENiZEN on Facebook you can win a rebate ($3), a free pair of Jeans, or a gift card.  I think most people have won a rebate.

You can find dENiZEN jeans at Target ranging from $17.99-$29.99

Get Outdoors and Explore with Backyard Safari

- brandy3 1 Comment

The Expedition Three kit features the Backyard Safari Base Camp Field Shelter.  It features storage spaces for all your Essential Field Gears. Over 40 inches tall, it’s large enough for several backyard safari kids to set up their own instant base camp in the field, all year round.
We were able to have some fun outdoor (pretend)  camping and hiking fun. We received a base tent with lantern, a camoflauge net, walking stick and magnifying glass. My kids were so excited to get these. They immediately got a pad of paper out and started their field journals. They used the magnifying glass to spot small insects, and would hide in the tent to wait for squirels. The walking stick is great for hiking around but it’s a little big for them to use. They actually try to use it more for a hitting stick than walking stick.  Everything is very durable, and the tent is also waterproof, it seems to rain whenever I set it up.
Visit http://www.backyardsafari.com/ to find your fun gear.
Base Tent is available through Amazon for $39.99
