Word Rush



Recently our family was able to try out a new board game from Tactic called Word Rush. I thought it was going to be too hard for my 10 year old to play with us but it was much easier then I expected. After setting up the board as instructed, the first player flips over the sand timer as well as a category card and answers the card with one of the letters showing on the board. It has to be the first letter and has to fit the category. Once they are done they flip the timer over and set it on the letter they used and the next person tries to beat the first players time. If they don't they move ahead one spot on the game board. 

The last person to NOT reach OUT is the Winner. This game is recommended from 2-6 players, ages 8 and up and considered a family game, which is right up our alley. Lots of fun for family or a fun game night with friends. 

What Tactic has to say about Word Rush

The Rush is On for Tactic Game's new WORD RUSH game.
Think of a word before time runs out.
In this new fast paced, quick thinking game, place nine letter cards on the game board, turn a category card and set the timer in motion! Players think fast to come up with words that start with one of the letter cards AND match the category for that round The sand timer is flipped with every new word, so you'll need to hurry up before the time runs out, or you can wait and make the next player have even less time. Strategy of answering starts to get more intense as the sand timer can be flipped fast or slower.
The simple game play and clear rules make Word Rush an instant classic!
The sand timer makes sure that the players have to stay on their toes. Word Rush will keep you guessing in a fun flurry of letters and words!.

Word Rush can be found on Amazon and many other sites.

DreamWorks Animation Television Creates Two New Series for Amazon Prime Video

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle 


and
 Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny
to debut this year
on
Amazon Prime Video


As a child growing up in the 70's this was one of my favorite show to watch with my father. Rocky and Bullwinkle was something that was always taking me on adventures, not to mention the little bits of learning thrown in. I am super excited to see what Amazon Prime Video will do with it. I hope they keep it true to the original for the older folks with a little updated stuff for the younger crowd.

The world-famous talking moose and flying squirrel are back in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, a serialized comedy about two goofball best friends who routinely find themselves thrust into harrowing situations but end up saving the day time and again. As Rocky and Bullwinkle's innocent and silly ambitions to become rock stars or find lost treasure end up dovetailing with Fearless Leader's sinister plans to take over the world, our heroes are set on a collision course with his notorious super spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale.


The series is executive produced by Scott Fellows (The Fairly OddParents, Big Time Rush) and Tiffany Ward, daughter of the original series producer Jay Ward, and features Tara Strong (The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans Go!)  as the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel, Brad Norman (America’s Most Haunted) as Bullwinkle J. Moose, Ben Diskin (Hey Arnold!) as Boris Badenov, Rachel Butera (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Natasha Fatale, Piotr Michael (Impress Me, MADtv) as Fearless Leader and Daran Norris (The Fairly OddParents) as Narrator.








Later in 2018, Prime Video will premiere Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny, an epic adventure series from Emmy Award-winning executive producers Mitch Watson (All Hail King Julien) and Elliott Owen (All Hail King Julien), and Lane Lueras (The Adventures of Puss in Boots). When four panda kids stumble upon a mystical cave beneath Panda Village, accidentally absorbing the chi of ancient and powerful kung fu warriors known as the Four Constellations, they must realize a destiny to save the world from an evil force. Meanwhile, Po finds himself faced with his biggest challenge yet -- teaching this ragtag band of kids how to wield their newfound powers.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squishy



I am sure most families or at least the kids have heard of squishy's. Our girls love them and our grand daughter loves them as well. Even I like to give them a squish from time to time. I like them better then stress relief balls because they squish easier and don't leave me in pain after.

This one is 4.3 and is JUMBO way bigger then the actual fruit. This huge lemon even smells a bit like citrus.  Super easy to squish and it has a somewhat slow rise to is. Some like squishy's that bounce back quickly others like them to go a bit slower. This is on the slower side but not the slowest I have seen.

So far it has help up to lots of squishing. We have had other brands that the color seems to peel off of. We haven't had to deal with that in this one as of yet. If you are looking for something fun to give as a gift, or just want to relieve some stress this might be worth checking out. You can see it being squished and coming back to shape on my instagram here.

Available at my link below.

Lighting the way



I am so excited when ever I get something like this because they have so many uses. First and foremost for power loss. Great for the kids to use. No worrying about burnt fingers, fire, or wax drips. 

These are also great for the Holidays from lighting pumpkins to making luminaries. Not to mention lighting up the dinner table, or even the bathroom while you are trying to relax. 

A little mood music and some candles can go a long way in unwinding with your spouse.



Super easy to use just take out the tab and switch to on. I really love that these come with an on and off switch which means they last even longer. Batteries are replaceable with three button cell batteries each. If interested they are available below in 12 packs.
