If you are looking for an inexpensive, cute, fun gift for the child in your life, then P. Lushes has a deal for you. These guys game in a suitcase box, it was so cute and each had their little home. But we handed them out to a lot of our friends. As soon as we opened the box the kids pounced and grabbed one and they were all so happy to get one. These little guys aren't super large (in fact I thought they were the perfect size, they were also so very soft. The neat thing is the amount of fur on these guys varies. Some were super thick some where smooth some had patterns. I was just surprised by all the different details. I had never thought I would need a P. Lushes Pet but at the cost of $10-12 each I think they will be my go to gift for years to come. Thank you Tryazon and Spin Master for allowing us to have this party and share such cute pets with our friends!

OPGames Tryazon Party #telestrations #BlankSlate

 

Such fun games! So happy to get to have this party. We have been fans of Blank Slate for the last five years. As a substitute teacher I have brought it into many middle school and high school classrooms over the years. The students have all heard of the game because Bobby Bones apparently talks about it every so often on his radio show. A quick explanation of how you play the game- there is a word like cherry _____ then you have to write down what you think of when you need to add a word to cherry- I said pie, two people said blossom and someone said cake although I had never heard of that before! Just an example the blank can be the first part or the last part. If you match with one person you get 3 points if more than 2 of you match you get 1 point and first to 30 wins.  My family has also loved playing it with both sides of the family. The funniest thing we have had happen with this game is the time we were playing it with all of our family and my dad and my brother matched a compound word that wasn't right, for the life of me I wish I could remember what it was but it was something they had pronounced wrong- apparently together all of their lives!

Telestrations was such a fun game, the problem in our family with kids so close in age is the amount of fighting that usually goes along with board games. Not this one, there was so much laughter, tears from laughing so hard. This game was a blast and some of the drawings and guesses were so off that we just about rolled on the floor. Telestrations is  like telephone and Pictionary combined. Everyone draws a card and then a dice is rolled to determine what number you use. After that that person will draw on the first page of their book their best drawing of that word, next person looks at only the picture and then guesses with words what the picture is then from those words the next person draws another picture until you get your booklet back. When the big reveal goes does there is always so much laughing.  Big fans of both of these games if you are needing Christmas presents for anyone I would highly suggest these! Thanks OPgames and Tryazon for letting us host this party. 

From the Makers of Exploding Kitten comes Hand-to-Hand Wombat

 

The Makers of Exploding Kittens have been busy making a bunch of new games and we got to try it out these last few weeks with our family. Each game comes with a little comic book that explains that wombats poop in squares- news you never even knew you needed to know and then those squares they use to build towers. So somewhere in there someone said let's make a game of building wombat poo and market it to the masses! It's a fun game where everyone tries to help build three towers, you think! Everyone gets a card at the beginning of the game telling them what kind of wombat they are- some just get to build towers, some have special rules about these towers, and some try to destroy the towers. At the end of each round everyone votes on who they think the evil wombat is and that person is removed from the game. We had a lot of fun with it, but have decided that our kids are too competitive to play to together- but they all want a chance to play it with their friends. We know this will be used at many game nights in the future. 

Thanks again to Tryazon for the opportunity to try this game.   

Spin Master Summer game night with Tryazon

 

Spin Master has some really fun games! We had so much fun getting to host a party with several of our friends and family and many people walked away with some good Christmas gift ideas. 

Soggy Doggy is a fun game with a dog that is in the bath tub, the goal is to get your game piece around the board without making the doggy shake. My kids ages 16, 14, 12, and 9 thought it was fun but we would all agree it would be the perfect game for kids ages 5-9. It uses real water too which is a fun element to the game. 

Beat the Parents is one our family has been playing for years. I am pretty sure our kids always win, I can not remember a time when we beat our kids. I personally think the game is rigged! LOL

Hedbanz is also a game that we have played in our house for years. I like the concept of this game but I do wish there was an expansion pack with different kinds of cards. It's a fun game and I do like the different varieties of headbands they offer.

Less is More- This is a fun game, the object of the game is to be the person to get one person to guess a word using the least amount of letters. I like this game and it's a bit like another game we love from Spin Masters. It was a little hard for our nine year old but for everyone else we had play it was really fun. 

Sink N' Sand- this was our very favorite game- my kids played it on a three day weekend for HOURS! I was a bit worried about the kinetic sand and that being a mess, but it really wasn't a big deal. The object of this game is to not fall through the sand. To start the game sand is pressed into a square box and then it's flipped over sticks of different colors. Four people can play and a stick is removed after every dice role. The sand slowly starts to fall and the last plastic figure standing wins! Again such a blast.

Escape your House- I am not going to lie- we have had a busy few weeks I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out this game but it was too complicated. I know my kids were super excited about the concept of the game but it just took a long time to figure out. We will try it when we have more time. 

Thank you Tryazon and Spin Master for this amazingly fun party. Plenty of fun games for you and your family to choose from for Christmas gifts!

 

Tryazon Tapple game night!

 What a fun new game! The game is so quick and easy you can use it in a pinch. There are category cards such as beverages and then everyone has to come up with a beverage for each letter of the alphabet. After one letter has been used it is pushed down and is out of play, everyone gets ten seconds to answer or else they are out of that round. three cards and you win the game. We had a great time playing and will be playing it again really soon. Kids really enjoy it and grandparents can enjoy it as well! It was a great night for a game! Thank you OpGames and Tryazon 

Zolli Pops and Taffy and Lunch Notes from Me packs

Fun, delicious, worry free, zero sugar candy. I had not heard of this product and was looking at the page for this party and my 3rd grader said, "mom sign up for this party please I want to win it, I learned about these in school."  I was skeptical how a candy with no sugar in it could taste but I was so surprised and couldn't even tell the difference. 

The little lunch box notes were super fun and my kids love reading the riddles. We have just had a blast laughing about these the last few weeks and know that once school starts the kids will be looking for these once school starts. Thank you Tryazon for this great opportunity to host this party!  

 

David & Mary Mother's Day experience

 

Every mother loves to be pampered David and Mary have a few new products that help with that. A new cleanser that leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. I love the feeling after I wash. The toner can be used on your face or body, it has a nice spray bottle to use. I enjoyed that and thought it made my face feel very clean. They also sent a fun bronzer. I am not very great with bronzer so I haven't figured out exactly how to use it but when I did try it it was subtle enough that I will try it again! Fun new products from a great company. Thank you David and Mary and Tryazon for this opportunity. 

Bestway Slide N' Glide Tryazon Party

 Looking for a new, fun, outdoor, summer toy for your kids? Look no further than Bestway's new Slide N' Glide triple slide. There are three lanes for adventure on this slide and it was so much fun for my kids and their friends. There is an inflatable ramp that starts you off on your journey down the slide and that is where you will land in a pool of water. I loved how the soft jets follow you all the way down the slide and carry you to the finish. My kids enjoyed the three lanes and had a lot of fun racing down to the finish. The surprise to our group was how much our cat just LOVED the slide. The little jets were just perfect for him to swat at and he had so much fun playing in the water. 

Thank you to Tryazon and Bestway for letting us host this fun party. We know we will have more friends who will want to join us when the weather gets a bit warmer!
