The Presidential Game board game #review

Over the 4th I was able to test a new board game. So excited to have found a place to test board games oh my. The Presidential game is a game where you try to campaign or fundraiser to win votes so that you can become the president of the United States. We played it several times with Kiah and thought it was great for her to learn how an election is run. We also learned the importance of fundraising in some states and why people don't spend a lot of money in other states. We had a lot of fun and it was very competitive the game takes about an hour to play. The only problem I have with the game is it isn't designed for many people to play. Since there are only two teams it really is a game for two people and at the most four. I think we will actually get this board out at the next presidential election and follow along with this. This game gets 4 out of 5 stars, ONLY because it is not a game you can play with many people.

Dabble Board Game #Review

Nothing like meeting the almost sis-in-law's family over a board game. You can learn a lot about a person from how they play a board game. There was a certain game that Kjell and I stopped playing early on in our marriage because it was the only reason ever in our marriage that we have gone more than a day without speaking to each other. It is fun to see who is competitive and who is not. So when I found out we would all be at Kjell's parent's for Memorial Day weekend I knew after the BBQ was the time to pop out my new game, called Dabble

It is a fun word game that reminded me a bit like Scrabble but better- easier in some ways and harder in others. I loved how my eight year old daughter really enjoyed playing, but her grandma also thought it was a great game it's one of those games where you can probably say ages 8-98! The goal of the game is to be the first one to make your tiles a 2,3,4,5 and six letter word on your board. It's a bit easier because they do give you a lot of vowels. That was truly helpful! It was a fun game where you are making your individual board but it's also not so quick paced that there couldn't be some friendly bantering going on! 

We had two games going the night we played one group was playing as pairs and then we had the other game as individuals. Even this way there was dominance presented by a certain duo, who played both the individual game and the team game. So they got to go home with their own game.
So excited to get the opportunity to play this game and give you my review. It is always fun to try new games and I love playing games with both sides of my family- we play games all the time. It was fun to get a new one we had never tried. Thanks Dabble and Tryazon for giving me a free product in exchange for my review. All the words stated here are my own.

Johnsonville Grillers #Review

I was so excited to get to try these- especially when I saw that they had CHEDDAR and BACON ones. They were easy to find, even having them in Abilene. We decided to cook them up and invite some friends over. Here they are in the upper right hand side of this pan- not too appetizing of of the box and I was afraid they were going to shrink. They didn't shrink and they actually were beautiful and plump as well.  


Here is one of them on Kjell's plate- we actually didn't get any close ups because everyone just devoured them. They were so good so amazingly good. I can not wait to get my next box of these. They do come in different flavors but I would highly recommend this flavor. I didn't actually see any bacon pieces but the cheddar was very present and the taste was amazing. 

Thank you Crowdtap and Johnsonville for giving me a free sample of this product in exchange for my review. All words stated here are my own.

Renuzit Pearl Scents #Review and #Giveaway

We have a little game we play here when we get one of the boxes from Purex insiders. If there are different scents Karis and I always choose which one we hope is in the box. Well this time the picture was of five different ones and we picked our two favorites and then opened the box. Only to find they were the two that neither one of us had picked! LOL However we have been using the two we received for the last few weeks now and are very happy with the scent.
The one thing we did notice though was we thought this product worked much better in our smaller rooms, the scent kind of got lost in our bigger rooms but made a big impression in our bathroom. 
I was super excited this time to also get to refresh a spot in my home- If anyone knows me it's hard for me to decorate much in my house I feel like having four kids I don't want too many extra items to have to dust or worry the kids will knock off the wall when they kick a soccer ball in the house- because YES that does happen from time to time. So as soon as I knew I was going to get a $50 gift card to refresh my house I knew exactly what I wanted. I have three school aged kids and a little guy who has his own backpack loaded with diapers. Most days when everyone gets home the backpacks just get thrown on the floor. Why because my house has no entry way it's just "hi welcome to our house"  so I wanted hooks- something to help me keep at least slightly sane in my own home. Bare wall nothing there- it needs help!!


I also found this amazing piece of artwork (I won't tell you how much I spent because I want you to think it was much more than it really was) to go above it and add a pop of color in the room as well. 

AHHHHH!!!! PEACE OF MIND!!!! I plan to also use the hooks for their pool towels when summer comes- because we live at the pool in the summer and towels are just like bookbags- never put away.  So thanks to Renuzit and a fun trip to Marshalls to buy some much needed "breath of fresh air items" I am so excited for the refresh I received.
The Renuzit brand provided me with a sample of Renuzit Pearls Scents in exchange for a product review. However all the words stated here are mine.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion and Aveeno Protect and Hydrate lotion Review

I love Aveeno products. They are always what I turn to when I have a new baby because it never fails that for the first few months of their lives their skin is super sensitive. I had always thought of Aveeno as a baby product but I have been given the opportunity to try their product designed for me! I really have dry skin and need a product that lasts on my legs now that summer is coming and I am wearing shorts more often. I really enjoy the lasting effects that the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion had on my legs. I didn't have to reapply after a few hours it lasted all day. I really enjoyed the Protect and Hydrate lotion as well. I used this one on my face when we went to an eight hour outdoors event.  I have extremely sensitive facial skin so I was trying it out to see if I would break out. No breaks out just great protection. I still love the Aveeno product line but I didn't realize I was going to be able to continue to enjoy it even as my kids get older. Thank you Crowdtap and Aveeno for sending me a free product to review. All the words stated here are my own.

Dial Kids' products #review #giveaway

So excited to get to share the Dial kids line with you. As the mother of four kids I am glad that Dial sees a need for my family to give them some fun products to get to use. The first product is the Dial foaming hand soap. This soap has such a fun smell I enjoy using it myself has a nice watermelon scent and the kids just love it.
I was also given some Dial Baby body wash to use on Javan and it works really nice. This is the perfect product for kids who have sensitive skin and need a gentle body wash. When Javan was a newborn he needed a product with no scent because he kept breaking out with a rash when I would use any lotions or body wash with a scent. I Love this product for that reason because it didn't/doesn't cause break outs. Here was my dilemma- now I LOVE scent on my kids so I was trying to think what I could do and came up with the perfect solution I added a few drops of lavender essential oil to the wash because that is a great oil to use before bedtime and our kids always take night baths so I gave it a light hint of scent and still have a great quality product. So along with my two littles I give both of these products two thumbs up. Don't forget to use the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this page to enter to win a free product coupon. Good luck!
Thank you Dial and Purex Insiders for the samples I got to use so that I could give my readers a real picture of how these products work. All of the opinions stated here are my own.
