Can you dig it? We can dig it! Handtrux review!

We had planned to go to the beach or something this year...
My aunt has a place and we wanted to go to get away for a few days...
But, it just did not work out for us.

I was excited, as Broxton hasn't seen sand since he was just a baby...
Also, we had a new toy for review and I was ready to play and have a blast with it!
What new toy would make it for a road trip?
Well, the crazy HandTrux!!!!
Have you see this thing?

If you live anywhere that your kid can dig...
Or you go to the beach/mountains...
This is something you have got to add to your wish list!

Basically, you just put your arm in it...
and your hand holds onto this little bar.
You then use it like your hand, but it is also like a backhoe!

Living in an apartment, we had no where to try it out.
So, when we went to visit my parents, we got to use it for a bit...

I pulled it out and let Broxton play in the dirt with it...
Now, my mom was worried we were going to dig the whole back yard up.
(The yard is grass, so it would not have looked great with big holes in it!)
So, we played for a few minutes!

At first, I used it to show Broxton how it would work.
He was playing with his cars and this allowed for a quick road to be made!
Then, he decided that he wanted to give it a try to see what mess he could make:
He enjoyed it, but it would have been so much more fun at the beach or in a sandbox.
Playing with it trying to dig in that hard South Georgia dirt just did not quite cut it!
No worries though, he likes just playing with it in general (It can move cars!), so the added treat of using it in the sand/dirt/snow/mud will be extra special!

Right now, HandTrux is holding a pretty sweet contest!
Now, until September 30, 2011 if you upload your best sand sculpture photos...
You can enter to win!
I mean, hey...
If you are already having fun at the beach, why not enter your photo to win?

Looking for a great gift for the kids in your life?

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
