#HolidayGift Guide - Smarks Talking Blocks - Review


We have been reviewing one of the coolest toys that I think I have seen in quite some time!
Do you know someone who loves building things?
Broxton loves to build and stack and play and tear down.
Over and over again!!!
Then, I saw them!
Smarks Talking Kids Blocks!
We received the Smarks 70 Piece Building Set.
They are big building blocks, perfect for little hands!
I love that they come in a nice sized sturdy box.
(With room for the additional blocks in there!)
The box made it perfect for us to take them with us when we went to my parents house for the weekend!!!
We just threw the box in the back of the car... Got there and Broxton carried the box in!

What makes Smarks so special?
Well, there are several reasons...
Let me tell you a few that I like the best:

One -
They help to learn your numbers!
Two -
They help you to learn your shapes!
Three-
(No picture of this... But, they talk!)
Example - There is a pink block and it says,
" I am pink like a flamingo, but I don't know it's lingo."

You see, there are 70 basic blocks... (They do not talk.)
Then, you can purchase the additional packages with the talking blocks.
(They come in 3 per package.)
The great thing, is each package is based upon age...
Meaning, you can buy some now, then purchase more each year as additional gifts...

They offer blocks that teach nursery rhymes...
Math (this one is pretty cool, you put a Smark block on a 2 block and it will say something like, you placed me on a 2 block. 2 plus 2 equals 4.)
They also have blocks that teach them the ABC's and their shapes.
Broxton's favorite blocks are the ones that light up and play music.
He loves making those go over and over again!

The thing I like most, they aren't so loud that they become one of "those annoying toys."
They teach, they are fun...
They are cute little Smarks!!!!
Want to hear something pretty cool?
Scott with Smarks is offering you a pretty cool deal just for the holidays!!!
Head on over to AMAZON and purchase the Smarks 70 piece building set.
Then....
Email Scott and let him know you purchased them and he will include a set of the SMART BLOCKS for FREE!!!!!
(That is like a savings of 40%)

Purchase the Smark blocks and you will gain 10 entries to any of the HGG giveaways...

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
