Hexbug- Porduct Review

I don't know a lot about boy toys. In fact, I don't even try to go out of my way to learn about them, because a lot of them are complicated, have small parts or require you to assemble things, or have names longer than I can spell or pronounce. I grew up with 3 sisters, so all my life, I only really knew about Barbies, strollers, dolls, and stuffed animals. When I heard about Hexbug, this was an exception I had to make. I immediately went to the Hexbug website and got in touch with them about reviewing their product, and boy am I glad I did.
A Hexbug nano is a tiny little robotic creature that acts and looks like a real bug. It runs around super fast, rolls over on its back, and honestly if you didn't know anything about them, you might think they were real at a short glance. Each Hexbug comes with a unique code that you can register on the Hexbug website, and by doing so, learn scientific facts and unlock fun games to play online.

We were sent the Hexbug Nano Glow in the Dark Habitat set. When I first opened it in the mail, I didn't think {B} would be interested in it because the age recommendations are starting at 3 years old through around age 11. I had plans to review this product with some older kids but after opening and assembling the set, {B} was in heaven. He was obsessed with watching the little nano bugs crawl around super fast, and it honestly entertained him for a good hour before his attention was lost. When we turned out the lights and watched the robots run around he was flipping out. He will ask me for his "bugs" all day long...and I am not going to lie, I am kind of obsessed with them myself. At Target the other day I contemplated buying myself a pink nano bug...and still plan on getting one in the future. I can't wait until he is a little older so that he can register his bugs online and learn more about science as well as play some fun games. I love a toy that is cool, attention keeping, and also has a way to teach a child at the same time.



Aside from the nano Hexbugs, they also have larger robotic bugs such as spiders, crabs, etc. that do different things, such as the crab that reacts to lights and sounds. Each bug activates with certain triggers and is sure to keep your child entertained for hours.

I would definitely recommend any of these toys for you children! These sets are awesome and would make THE perfect Christmas gift. You can buy Hexbugs on their website, or online through Amazon. You can also buy them at Target and other stores that sell similar items.

*This toy does have small pieces. If you have small children around this can pose a choking hazard. Please supervise young children at all times.

Bluapple: Review & Giveaway (3 winners!!!)

Today I want to briefly discuss a topic that is dear to my heart, and that is the topic of fruit- and keeping it fresher, longer. I would say that I am the main fruit eater at our house. I buy the fruits that I like, when I want, and I always eat them....EVENTUALLY. That is the key word here folks, eventually. One day I might be craving a delicious banana, but then for the next 2 or 3 days not feel like one. When day 4 comes around, said banana is no longer a beautiful ripe yellow, but an over-ripe soggy brown lump. I don't think there is ANYTHING that makes me more upset, then throwing away fruit and vegetables that have gone bad, just because we didn't get around to eating them.

Research indicates that 25% of the produce bought in the United States gets thrown away because it has gone bad. On average, American households throw away approximately $600 worth of produce each year. That’s $50 a month that could be used to go on a nice date, a small shopping spree, or just to pay other bills! That said, this is where the blueapple does it's job!

Bluapple gets rid of that guilty feeling we get when we are so excited to open that fruit drawer, only to find green or white fuzz all over those yummy red raspberries you just bought 2 days ago! Blueapple is well.... just that! It is a small, blue plastic apple filled with zeolite, which absorbs ethylene gas from your produce bin, kitchen counter, or wherever it is placed. "Ethylene gas is given off naturally by fruits and vegetables as a signaling mechanism in order to coordinate uniform ripening. However, once concentrated in your refrigerator or other storage areas, the presence of ethylene gas continues to speed up ripening and hasten spoilage."-bluapple

Each bluapple lasts 3 months in a typical produce or storage bin, and does not "run out", but rather absorbs the gas until it has reached it's capacity. After 3 months time, you can purchase refills for the inside of your bluapple, which is also "green" in that it does not add any unwanted bluapples to our landfills.

So, the big question....DOES IT WORK? Well, we have been using the bluapples now for a couple of weeks and I will say this, I have had a package of raspberries in the produce bin for 5 days and they are still red, ripe, and firm, and not soggy one bit! That is unheard of for me!!! I also have one sitting on my kitchen counter with my bananas, and they are still yellow as can be, no brown spots, nothin. I am forever now a bluapple fan, and will ALWAYS have one on hand, especially in my produce bin. I can't wait to spend my $600 dollars (that would have been on rotten fruit) on something wonderful next year! Thanks bluapple!

Buy It: You can find BluApple at natural food stores, fine retail grocers, and co-ops around the country or online.

Kidorable: NEW Dragon Knight line- Review & Giveaway!

Kidorable is at it again! I was fortunate enough to review Kidorable over the summer this year, and if you remember correctly, I was SO impressed with everything they have to offer and the quality of their items! Well, only a few weeks ago, Kidorable announced their new Dragon Knight colletion! This collection is similar to the others, including children's rain boots, umbrellas, backpacks, hangers and more!

"The Dragon Knight collection is steel grey with dark green as accent color, perfect for strong and brave boys. Some pieces accentuate the Knight, others the Dragon, but there is a nice interplay between both characters throughout the set. The umbrella has protruding dragon horns and wings, with a knight, fire, and a castle motif along the bottom. The helmet on the matching raincoat is Kidorable’s coolest hood so far.

The child who wears it can imagine himself as a valiant knight fighting the dragon. The backpack is shaped like a shield for extra play value. It comes with a little stuffed toy sword. The coat is a new material, PU (polyurethane). It’s softer and lighter than PVC. " -Kidorable

We were able to review the Dragon Knight Rain Boots! We were so so impressed with the rain boots we ordered last time, we had to review these too! B loves wearing them, and I swear I can't get him to take them off. They have been perfect this time of year, as it has been so rainy and wet around here!

There is no doubt that the little man in your life ( or girl dragon lover for that matter) will love this collection from Kidorable! Go check it out for yourselves!

Buy It w/ PROMO CODE: Head on over to the Kidorable website and look over the Dragon Knight Collection. Through Dec. 5-11 Kidorable is offering up a FREE Dragon Knight Umbrella with any order over $20 with promo code: DRAGON7 (be sure to add the umbrella to your cart first before applying the code.)
