ThinkFun Shell Game

Happy Monday Everyone. I am off to a late start today. I have had my niece and nephew staying with us and it has been a roller coaster of a ride. 5 kids plus other house guests all under one roof while cooking, cleaning, blogging, getting ready for Halloween and planning a birthday party? It can be a bit over whelming! 

Keeping 5 kids busy is hard. Real Hard!

Lucky for us, I had just received this new game from Thinkfun.

This game is made for 1 player, but let me tell you it is fairly easy to improvise. I easily switched it up so the kids were playing on teams. Of course it was girls against boys.
It has over 60 different challenges. Some are easy, some are not.
It was cool to watch the kids play, some of them got it faster then others.
It was recommended for ages 8 and up, but my son is 6 and he got the hang of it.
The challenges are addicting, after the kids went to bed, I played it a little by myself. I was so tired and I really didn't want to stop.
Thinkfun is really a great company. They go the extra step in their games and other products. I think it would be a great idea to put down the electronics for a while and really have some fun while learning and sharpening your skills. Check them out here:

GLOW STICK BRACELETS-100 GLOW BRACELETS REVIEW

GLOW BRACELET REVIEW 

One of my favorite things about blogging is sometimes we get perks. We get to try an item in exchange for our honest thorough review. I considered myself pretty lucky when I got to try and test 100 Glow Stick Bracelets. I knew it was going to be fun because I got to involve my kids. After all, kids are sometimes our best and honest reviewers.

You can order 

Super Bright Longest Lasting Glow Stick 100 Premium Quality Glow Stick Bracelets by SuperBright from http://www.amazon.com/

They shipped pretty fast, I think we received them in about 10 days so there is still definitely time to order them for Halloween. They come in a hard canister hat keeps them safe.

I pop the lid and this is the inside view

They include colors like blueish purple, hot pink, neon yellow and green. They also come with plastic fasteners so you can make bracelets, rings or necklaces out of them.

They are really starting to shine

We decided to take the canister with us to a community event that my town was putting on called Movies On Main Street. You can find out more about that event in my previous blog post: http://gettasgottohaveits.blogspot.com/2014/10/movie-on-main-street.html
We had thought it would be fun to share with all the other kids and add some color to the night. My kids took turns passing out one glow stick bracelet and fastener to all their peers. It was really cute to see my 6 year old son passing these out, especially to girls his age.
The other kids and their parents seemed quite thrilled to receive these.
Once the sun set, you could see neon colors popping everywhere.
Most of the time the colors were very bright but I did notice a few colors starting to fade quickly. I also got a few complaints that the bracelets actually leaked a few times, you could see evidence of this on the grass and sidewalk, however the colors were beautiful.
It seemed as if the bracelets lasted only about 5 or 6 hours before completely dying out.
For the most part, it was a lot of fun and the kids really appreciated it.
If you check them out on Amazon, you will see they have a really good deal going for 100 of them.
Most of the time we buy these from our dollar stores and they are $1.00 Each.
These would be great for school carnivals, class parties or even to pass out to Trick or Treaters.

Tequila Rose Girls Night In Party

Recently I had an awesome opportunity to host a Tequila Rose Girls Night In party at my house!
If you have never heard of Tequila Rose, let me tell you, you need to. Its like a strawberry creme tequila. Its very good! I will say its more of a ladies drink. Check them out here http://mccormickdistilling.com/tr/
So I had some friends over and we celebrated just for the heck of it. Girls need to do that every now and then. We let our hair down and had a great time.
We played games, took pictures, rocked out, made some great cocktails and really enjoyed ourselves.
Tequila Rose really hooked us up, they sent us shirts, beads, roses, keychain and a bunch of great stuff!

Cheers!

This is only some of the cool stuff they hooked up for my guests



This Girl Needs A Drink

I dont want to brag or anything, hehehe, but I am a Tequila Rose Ambassador. The first Tequila Rose Ambassador in the US. Ok, I'm totally bragging!!
I need to give a big shout out to Amanda & Taylor who worked very closely with me to make sure my Tequila Rose Girls Night In was a success!
