Martian Dice Review + Giveaway

As most of my readers know our family here in Marksville love to play with games. We don't get to play everyday but we do play a lot. We love to try out new games and this one is brand new game to us and one that took a while to get used to but which was very fun once you get the hang of it.

What I love is that it comes in a canister that holds all of the pieces and directions. Something you could take along to keep the kids busy, not in the car (you don't want to have dice everywhere), but once you get to where you are going this is a nice game to keep the little ones busy for a while.

Our family likes games that are different from other games and this is one that fits the bill.

You can purchase Martian Dice on Amazon.

What Tasty Minstrel Games has to say about their product.

our mission, Martians, is to swoop down on the pathetic denizens of the primitive planet "Earth", and to scoop up as many of the inhabitants as you can manage. We are interested in samples of the Chicken, Cow, and Human populations, so that we can determine which of them is actually in charge. The Earthlings might manage to put up a feeble defense, but surely nothing that a small taste of your Death Rays can't handle. Make Mars proud be the first Martian to fill your abduction quota.

Martian Dice is a quick and fun dice game for 2 or more players.

EcoPoof Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags

Our family owns a Saint Bernard named Princess Goliath. She is a big girl therefore she leaves big steaming piles of dog doo. Most of the time she just goes in our yard and we add it to our compost pile but when we walk her out of our yard I try to make sure the kids or I always pick up her messes. Besides some nearby horses or cows she makes the biggest piles so everyone would know whose they were. No hiding her piles and getting away with it.

Usually I just send a plastic grocery bag with the girls or stick one in my pocket when I walk her. Another one of the companies I work with sent me a really nice doggy bone shaped Poop Bag Dispenser that hooks on to my Princess's collar which comes in handy and holds the EcoPoof Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags perfectly.

I like that these bags break down instead of just being in a landfill for years to come. They break down in about 20 months which is awesome if you ask me.

You can purchase the EcoPoof Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags on Amazon.

Family wall decal

Being a big family, I love to have lots of photos hanging up, sadly since we moved here about 8 years ago, we haven't had many up, most of them are still packed away. Why you ask? Because even though I am thankful for this big old farm house we live in, the walls sadly can not hold a picture. 

So I have been dreaming of the day when we will have a place to put the pictures while planning out how all of the pictures will hang, Pinterest is a great place to find ideas for how to arrange pictures. One of the posts I liked included having the words Family somewhere mixed in with the photos.

Bobee so generously sent me another of their clings to review and this one is just perfect for using this very way. This cling is 22 inches long by 10 inches high, pretty big and will look great surrounded by photos.

I can't wait to see the finished product. Now to fill all those frames that have been hanging around.

You can purchase the Family Bobee wall cling on Amazon.

What Bobee has to say about their product. 

• Decal can be applied to any smooth surface such as walls, windows, doors, mirrors, furniture, chalkboards, and more. 
• Add the vinyl word to your photo collage and really make the décor pop! 
• It's an excellent way to inexpensively decorate and fun too! 
• The Family sticker is ideal for surrounding your family pictures. Add photos around the vinyl sticker!

Sun'n'Fun Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen for Kids Review

I have 3 children who are light colored and 3 children who have darker skin, so with that comes taking care of two different kinds of skin. Our three lighter children burn very easily like myself, while our 3 darker children tan like there is no tomorrow. 

I am always reminding my children to put on sunscreen no matter what and reapply through out the day. I find that my lighter children as well as myself have to also get in the shade on top of the sunscreen to protect our skin. I literally burn within 15 minutes of being outside with sunscreen so protection is the key. 

With Sweetsation Sunscreen I can make sure the whole family is ready for a day in the sun with one bottle instead of having to take a bag full of different formulas. I just make sure to pack cover ups or a tent so that we lighters folks can take a break from the sun when things start to get hot. Remember just because it is cold outside now doesn't mean you shouldn't be wearing sunscreen, if you are going to be outside for more then a few minutes, slather on some protection, your skin will thank you later. 

You can purchase Sun'n'Fun Broad Spectrum SPF30 Sunscreen for Kids here and on Amazon.
