New Car Happiness With The KidiRace RC Police Car
My husband and I have five kids – the oldest three are now grown. But through the childhood of these five, every one of them has always loved remote control cars. Now we even have grandchildren who have that same love. In particular our autistic 18 year old son can be kept busy with a remote control car for hours and hours. This Kidirace RC Police Car is perfect for our family. It is durable – which is great because my son is not the greatest driver. It can easily handle being bumped into things and basically keeps a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’. It comes with two AA batteries…

A Heavy Duty Backpack to Love! SMARTY Backpack…
Many schools and work environments now require clear carrying bags – it is very much a safety and security issue. Some also require clear bags so they can make sure to minimize potential theft by employees. But clear backpacks are also very much a fashion statement.

This particular backpack is American Blue and I definitely love it. This awesome backpack was voted Best by Middle Schools and High Schools across the…

Maginon QC-5S RC Quadcopter Drone 1280P HD Camera 360° With Flip Ability
My kids have been asking for a drone for a long time and we finally found the perfect one! This Maginon QC-5S RC Quadcopter Drone is just what they were asking for.

Making Laundry Fun With This Basketball Clothes Hamper
Kids… We have five kids. Three are grown, one has special needs and one is still a teenager. Laundry never ever stops being a struggle. There are two components involved – collecting dirty laundry and putting clean clothes away. Of course there is the middle step of washing the laundry but that seems to be the piece that we struggle the least with. But all of our kids (and grandkids) love basketball! What better way to get them to willingly collect their dirty clothes than with a basketball hoop! The net (hamper) is about three feet long and can collect quite a bit of laundry – which means a great…

The Story Keeps Replaying Itself…
Ah, this alarm clock is the answer to my prayers. We have a scene that keeps replaying itself – I get my daughter up for school, she gets ready… I leave for work and she only has 15 minutes of “down time” – yet every time she lays down to just close her eyes and next thing you know she is sound asleep three hours later and never made it to school. She goes to bed plenty early but mornings are not her thing. The answer is this alarm clock radio – all she ever wants and needs… This alarm clock has a really nice size digital display – a…

Staying Active With Flybar
In this day and age I am always in favor of anything the kids want to do for activity. Anything to pull their attention away from the cell phone, computer, tablet, television etc… We own four horses which affords them opportunities for so much activity but there is life beyond horses – though we spend so much time with the horses you’d think we don’t do anything else. One of the activities my kids love is skateboarding and more appropriately stated – Longboading. Our son is 17 and autistic and he can manage longboards quite well. When I was younger I would skateboard on small boards – that was all…

Mythical Slyme – Unicorn Sweat, Kiss, Dreams and Tears GIVEAWAY
Remember the days of making slime with Borax? Well guess what – we have learned that Borax is extremely bad for us especially when children are digging their hands right into it to make their favorite concoction. NO MORE! Now we can have incredibly cool slimes through Mythical Slyme! They have so many really cool slimes that are either focused on unicorns or potty humor. My husband is an elementary school principal – potty humor is very much a way of life for him on a daily basis. He finds a way to weave snot, boogers and poop into so many conversations. The kids LOVE it! Yup he is…

Top Trumps STEM Decks – A Fun Way To Explore STEM With Your Children
So this set of educational card games are called Top Trumps but I want to be clear they have not one thing to do with Donal Trump. Top Trumps decks were developed in Great Britain – and well before Donald Trump took office and they intend to be along long after he is out of office. STEM and STEAM are at the forefront of educational programs these days. Even in my school district we now have a STEM magnet elementary school and a STEAM magnet middle school. What is STEM and STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (and Arts). They still receive a traditional education but aspects of STEM…
