I will be the first to admit that there are several words in our vocabulary that are considered "bad words"  just because I was raised that way...  Take the "F-word" for example... (shh.... fart)   When I was a kid that word was just as bad as that other f-word if you asked my grandparents...  so, not even thinking about it... I realize that these words are not to be used by my son... I know some boys like saying "nasty" words like booger and fart, but honestly... my kid brother used to get grossed out by the word "snot" so like I said, words are picked carefully around here...

I will admit, I was quite excited to get the Alpha Cards, He's All Boy package...
I thought it would be a fun way to use the alphabet cards with Broxton...   while being "all boy!"  at the same time...  What I didn't realize was that many of the words are words we don't use around here...
I thought maybe it was just me, so I asked a friend of mine that also has a 4 year old to take a look at them...   She thought it was one of those "gag gifts" that you see in party stores.  (It does say from ages 3-99 years old) on there... 

I can not be totally negative about  them though, they were of great quality.
I thought the cards were larger than most alphabet cards, so that was great ( I know several people that hang alphabet cards around the room to work with their kids... these are the great shape to do that.)
I also loved the illustrations... (Not all of the actual pictures, but the design and time it took to do them...)

My mom actually wanted to take them and give them to a friend that was turning 60+ years old as a gift, but I would not let her... I do like that they work with both the upper and lowercase letters.. on the same card...
Broxton has to say that the N card is his favorite... want to know why?
Because N is for NINJA... and NAKED.... 
Yep... He's All Boy!!!!
So - if you are not easily offended with B is for Booger  or D is for DooDoo, then this is a great gift for you...
I have a hard enough time keeping the F word out of his mouth... (He does have older brothers, remember?)  So I think this is one best not to pull out and use, but for others it would be a great gift!!!

    That's kind of a crazy set. We don't say those kind of words are "bad" words. We say most of them is "potty talk" and that we don't like them to use that kind of language. Bad words to me are shi_, fuc_ and well you get the point. When boys get on a roll with potty talk, it's a hard thing to break.

    These are really cute cards! My oldest grandson I think is old enough to enjoy the humor. He could use these sort of like sight word cards since he already knows the letters of the alphabet.

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...

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!!!!...
