As much as I love reading books with Broxton, it is also fun to get the Sports Illustrated for Kids Books that has fun information.  These books are not only fun for Broxton to learn cool sports facts, it is also fun for us to read and the boys enjoy them as well.  When the Big Book of Who All-Stars book showed up, I was eager to see how much Sports Knowledge the guys in my life knew...
This book says " THE 101 ATHLETES EVER FAN NEEDS TO KNOW."
The contents inside?  
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Hockey, Olympics, Racing, Soccer, Tennis and Xtreme.

Up first?  I flipped over to GOLF and called up my brother to see if he knew all the answers....
A sample question: "Who is the golfer with the most Major championships?"  
Answer - Jack Nicklaus....
Of course, my brother knew all of them, I did wish they had more golf questions, as there was only 4.  I know not everyone is into golf, but since my brother has ALWAYS been a fan, I have sort of followed it... so, it would have been nice for more golf information for the golf fans!

I really enjoyed this book...
Each athlete you "meet" you get to see a picture of them... and then there is a question that has them as the answer, with a nice sized paragraph explaining the answer.  Also, on some athletes, you get a "Super Stat" about them as well.  It comes in a little side paragraph and it is pretty cool...
Example:
The question : " Who was employed as Manchester United's mascot years before becoming their star player?    (Answer - David Beckham.)  I thought that was cool, as I never knew that... There is a nice sized paragraph talking about his years as a mascot before becoming their player and giving more information.  Then, to the side, you see Super Stat:3 - Number of different World Cups at which Beckham scored a goal (1998, 2000, and '06), the only Englishman ever to do so.  
This is a nice hard back book with plenty of colorful photographs that are sure to get any sports fans attention!  This would be a great book to gift... or to take on a road trip for a bit of road trip trivia!

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...

I LOVE going to the pool, but I normally get burnt. With that being said, I KNOW I am not the only one :) I am always looking to see what other sun protection is out there. With Memorial Day around the corner, I know that many people will be outside enjoying the weather. I wanted to share with you a product that we will be using Memorial Day, as well as throughout the summer! Also, I never really gave much thought, but I always said I needed "sunblock." Then, I got to thinking... is sunBLOCK what I need? I thought that the sun was supposed to be good, you know... Vitamin D and all? Thank goodness MelanSol explained it to me! MelanSol is a sunscreen, it allows 3-10 5 of the suns UV Rays to reach your skin. Remember, the Vitamin D? See, I knew I was not going crazy!!! You know I am not one for quoting all sorts of stuff from their site, so you can click over to the MelanSol FAQ to learn more, but I did want to share this with you: From their site: Q. Why should you adopt...

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... ...
