Sea-Band Mama

I had never really experienced any sort of motion sickness before I got pregnant. I could go on any rollercoaster, take road trips and do anything I wanted. Never felt sick to my stomach. Then Peyton arrived. She let her presence be announced by the worse morning sickness ever. It was like she had a little calendar and at 6 weeks it started. At first, I thought it was a stomach virus. I took ginger and drank lots of ginger ale and 7-up. But it kept getting worse, not better. A week later I ...

CUJO

The reviewer has been compensated in the form product/service for free. It's back to school time and Peyton just got her first computer to help her with homework! But that also means she will on the internet for school and I know she'll be on there playing games. Now, I could change the wi-fi password whenever she is grounded or doesn't do what she is supposed to. But let's be honest, that's a pain. At least I think it is. That's why I'm installing CUJO. When Peyton has had enough screen time ...

Family Game Night: Ninja Squirrels

Ninja Squirrels by Rooster Fin Games

If you are looking to add a new game to your game closet then keep on reading. Tonight we played Ninja Squirrels by Rooster Fin Games and it was a HUGE hit! From little Jamison (4 years old) to my mom (whose age shall remain a mystery) everyone enjoyed themselves.
