Try these games on your next Family Game Night

I received these products from The Master Theorem Games for review.

This is Snippets.  Thanks to Snippets' unique "anything goes" rule, this game requires more of a creative mind than a large vocabulary.  Snippets is a sequence of letters that can be found as a whole within words.  To play, you flip over a snippets card and flip over the 60 minute timer.  Then you quickly write down as many words as you can that contains that snippet until the timer runs out.  When the timer runs out, compare your words with those of the other players.  Earn points for unique words and for fun bonuses (longest word, fewest crossed words, the most words and other bonuses).  The highest score wins the round and the first to win three rounds wins the game.  Inside the box you will find 300 Snippet Cards, 4 answer pads, 4 pencils, 4 Scoring Cheat Sheets and an instruction booklet.  There is a free timer app for Android and i Phones.  This is a 2-8 player game for ages 10 and up.  You can purchase it on their website for $24.99.

This is Snippets Junior.  It's an expansion for Snippets with 100 extra cards that are perfect for younger children age 6-9.  You can play by the full or simplified rules.  It helps kids build vocabulary and improve spelling.  It's recommended to use with the full Snippets game, but it isn't required to play.  The box contains 100 easy Snippet Cards, 4 Scoring Cheat Sheets and Instruction Card.  You can purchase Snippets Junior on their website for $9.99.

This is PROOF!  This is an award winning, fast, fun and addictive math game that the whole family can enjoy.  To play you turn 9 cards face up in 3 rows of three.  Using only those cards, you look for cards you can combine to form a true math equation.  You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication or division as long as the equation is correct.  Once you find one, shout it out before anyone else finds one.  If your equation is correct, then you get to keep the cards you used in the equation.  Deal new cards to replace the ones you kept and keep playing.  When the deck runs out, the person with the most cards wins.  The game comes with 100 number cards and an instruction booklet.  It's a 2-6 player game recommended for age 9 and up.  It's great to help kids improve their math skills.  You can purchase PROOF! on their website for $14.99.   

Splash Out is a fun way to cool off in the summer

I received this product from the people at Far Out Toys in order to do this review.

Far Out Toys has teamed up with the 7 year old YouTube star Ryan from Ryan's World.  This is a new version of the original Splash Out, an action packed extreme game where you need to provide answers quickly and correctly, then pass the ball on before time runs out and you get "Splashed Out!" and soaked with the water that filled the balloon.  

Inside the box you will find 1 Splash Out Ball, 24 Water Balloons, 1 Hose Nozzle Adapter and an Adapter For Indoor Play Option.  You put a filled water balloon inside the ball, which includes a wind up timer, and wind it up.  When timer runs out, the water balloon is punctured and whoever is holding the ball gets splashed with the water.  

Splash Out is recommended for age 5 and up and retails for $12.99.  You can find them in Target stores and online, and on Amazon.  

This toy is great for family BBQ's, reunions and any time you get together with family or friends.  It's perfect for a hot summer day.

Heatholders will keep you warm.

I received these products from Heatholders to review.  I know that the weather has warmed up now, but it can still get chilly in the mornings or evenings sometimes, and some areas have a colder climate than others.  While these products would be great in the winter time, they can also be nice for just a chilly day.  Heatholders are made from a specially developed heavy bulk yarn that has extreme thermal properties.  They have long pile cushioning and will help keep your feet comfortable and warm.  They are non binding, so they are perfect for diabetics.  They will provide relief for cold feet due to circulation problems.  All products are available in a variety of different colors.  

This is the Men's Original Crew Socks.  You can purchase them on their website for $15.99.  Available in men's size 7-12 and will also fit ladies size 8-13.  They are also available in a larger size of 13-15 for men requiring a larger size. 

 
This is the Men's Ankle Socks.  You can purchase them on their website for $9.99.  Available in men's size 7-12 and will also fit ladies size 8-13. 

This is the Ladies Original Crew Socks.  You can purchase them on their website for $15.99.  Available in ladies size 5-9 and will also fit men's size 8-13.

This is the Ladies Tights.  You can purchase them on their website for $14.99.  They are available in sizes x small - x large.  They will keep your legs warm so you can wear dresses on cold days.  They have built in stretch, with an elastic waistband and a comfort gusset panel.  This improves fit and adds comfort for all day wear. 

Cool Sunglasses For Summer

I received these sunglasses from Next Horizon Eyewear for review.  The suggested retail price is $89.95 each and you can purchase them on their website, or on Amazon.  They are perfect for any outdoor activity, or for just looking cool!

This is the Horizons 1 Sunglasses.  They are premium quality sports wrap type sunglasses that can be worn by either men or women.  They come with three interchangeable lenses.  The lenses are made with light, strong polycarbonate.  They have excellent clarity and are highly resistant to impact, with an anti scratch coating for durability.  They wrap around your face to give you an unobstructed view.  They offer 100% protection from the sun's ultra violet rays and they also have an anti reflection coating to eliminate the glare when the sun is behind you.  You can also get a polarized version of the gray tint lenses.

There are three distinct shapes of lenses that you can choose from.  The Slope lens features attractive gradients that converge in the center.  The dramatic lines create a look that is powerfully sophisticated reminiscent of Neo’s sunglasses in The Matrix movie trilogy.

The Wave lens crests about the eye to provide a modern look of glamour and intrigue.

The Mesa lens arcs over the frame's rim to provide extra eye protection and a flattering silhouette.  The streamlined upper edge gives the illusion that the wearer is moving, even when they are standing still. 

The frames I received are glossy black, but they will soon also be available in white, purple and tortoise shell.  They are made with Grilamid TR 90 polymer, which is a strong, flexible, low density material with a high resistance to UV and chemical damage.   The frames are medium adult size (lens size across 65mm, bridge 15mm, arms 125mm long).

All sunglass orders come with three sets of interchangeable lenses (clear, rose and gray) all in the same shape, a zippered soft carrying case (with belt loops and a clip on the outside and pockets for storing the lenses inside), a lens cleaning cloth, lens changing instructions and a Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty.         

 

Perfect Gift For Mother's Day: A Mother's Ring

I wanted to share photos of this absolutely beautiful Mother's Ring I received from MothersFamilyRings.  Prices are very reasonable, but they vary according to the design you choose and the number of stones you choose.  Once you place your order, they create and ship your complete jewelry very quickly.    

When I first opened the package, I was very impressed to see an awesomely beautiful ring box.  I was expecting to see the standard square ring box, and was so surprised to see this one.  The box is a work of art in itself with the snakeskin like texture and the golden trimmings and clasp.  And then I opened the box...

The sight of this ring just took my breath away.  My photos do not do it justice.  It is such a beautiful ring.  The three stones are the birthstones of my three children;  November, June and July.  I have always preferred silver jewelry over gold, and this ring is sterling silver.

They have a wide variety of designs to choose from.  They have pendants and necklaces as well.  They also have stackable rings and they do engraving on selected designs.  The order process was quick and easy.  You just look at the many designs they have to offer, choose the style you like best, choose the number of stones you want and then choose the stones themselves.  I wanted a simple, elegant design; nothing big or flashy.  And this one is perfect.

MothersFamilyRings, also known as Moriarty's Gem Art, has been in the jewelry business for over 40 years.  One reason they started making the Mother's jewelry line is because they know how important family is.  The owners are Steve and Nancy Moriarty.  Two of their three children, Michael and Jeff, now work with them in the jewelry business.  You can read their story HERE.

They have made their name in the trade through extensive travels to the World's gem sources and the fine cutting done in their shop of the gems they discover.  They have extensive knowledge of the gem market and each gen is individually inspected for cut, color and clarity and that it is of natural origin. 

They state that their goal is to manufacture a unique, beautiful and meaningful ring that will be cherished by your mother, girlfriend or wife for the rest of her life.  I must say, they have achieved that goal with my ring!  I will wear it with pride and cherish it always.  Thank you so much for creating it for me!

  

This Blueberry Wrap Dress is so beautiful!

I received this Blueberry Wrap Dress from Passion Lilie for review.

The Blueberry Wrap dress has short sleeves and a pattern that features a beautiful blue color on a black background.  Made in the wrap around style, it ties on the side for a nice simple look.  It is so easy to put on and take off.  You can choose whether or not you want it to have pleats in the front skirt.  It also has pockets, which is often hard to find in dresses in this style.  

     
Designed in New Orleans, the dress is a Fair Trade product that is made in India.  It's made with 100% cotton fabric.  It is hand woven and eco dyed with ikat fabrics.  The purchase of this dress will help provide a secure job with fair wages and a positive working environment to artisans in India.  

The dress is available in sizes extra small through extra large.  It is comfortable to wear on a warm summer day or on a cool evening.  It is perfect for a nice evening out or just a casual day with friends.  Accessorize it with some nice jewelry and heels and it would be the perfect outfit for that big dinner date in a nice restaurant.  Or dress it down with more basic jewelry and flats for a day of running errands.  The v-shaped neckline is perfect for showing off your favorite pendant.

You will feel beautiful wearing the dress because it looks so nice.  You can purchase it for $84.00 on the Passion Lilie site HERE.
