Cry Babies! Baby dolls that cry real tears!

November 2, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Every girl loves baby dolls, right?! Actually, my boys love baby dolls!

I have heard that when kids play will baby dolls, it helps them develop the nurturing factor which will help them in the future if/when they become a parent. I love seeing my boys rock and talk to a baby doll.

With these dolls, kids can learn to love and take care of a baby. The idea is really genius! Maybe they should take it up a notch and have the baby cry until you can figure it out what it needs, like a bottle or a diaper change..! Ha!

We were sent Bonnie! She is so cute with her big eyes, tiny hands and feet and her bear outfit! You can slip her hood off to expose the cap. Unscrew and add water, trying not to fill it all the way to the top. Use bottled or distilled water, they way the inside of the doll won’t get all yucky. Then screw the cap back on and turn the switch to the “on” position, ( ( located on her back side, underneath her outfit). Make sure to keep her pacifier in her mouth or she will start crying tears right after you turn her on.

She will then giggle and coo with her pacifier in, take it out and the tears start a flowing! She has audible cries too! Soo sweet and sad! lol

Isn’t she sooo cute? They definitely have a sweet look to them.

Check out our full video review from our other toy channel and even a DIY seat (well not really a DIY, just a little paint added on ha!) made from the box that Bonnie came in:

More information:

Bonnie really cries when you remove her pacifier
She will shout and cry until you replace her packing or rock her to calm her down
Each doll comes with an attached pacifier and a removable animal print onesie
Just add water for real tears!

You can find Bonnie on Amazon for right around $30, check out Bonnie here. There are also other ones available as well, check those other dolls out here. The price is really reasonable in my opinion.

I LOVE the animal outfits that they wear, makes them even more cute! These will definitely be a hot toy for Christmas!

Roblox themed birthday party! Roblox, cake, cookies, toys and more!

October 29, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

My baby turned 6! Eek! I feel so old.. He wanted a Roblox theme.. so Roblox it was!

I found some awesome Roblox printables on Etsy on the cheap and balloons as well, oh and also ordered him a T-shirt for $6! Score! Ha!

My Sister has her own business and made the cake and cookies, which were amazing! Zieke took some of those cookies to school for his classmates and they were a hit! If they don’t know him, they sure do now!

Check out my Sisters business, she does some awesome work: Scratch Handcrafted Patisseries. She does Paleo and Gluten free items as well, just about anything really!

Zieke got tons of Roblox toys, per his request of course! We also held a little contest to see who could build the craziest roblox character.. of course.. they all had to win! lol

It was just a small family party, but we all had a lot of fun! Zieke thought the Roblox photo booth was pretty sweet 😉 I found the “6” balloon at the dollar tree.. I love the Dollar Tree..

These Roblox toys from Jazeware are so cool! Zieke asked for a few of the vehicles so we got him a few sets. All three boys have been playing with them all weekend.

We gave out a few Roblox blind boxes to the winners of the Roblox building contest 😉 So they now have a ton! My mom found a storage container made just for these roblox toys on Amazon, Zieke totally needed it!

All in all, party was great! They look forward to these little parties each year 😉

TerraSect by Alpha Toys, A whole new RC experience! One of Walmart’s Top Holiday Toys of 2018.

October 27, 2018October 27, 2018 Dream Team Family3 Comments

RC cars, a classic toy.. am I right?

Well… this TerraSect is way more than just an RC! Alpha Toys (The Alpha Group US) has created an insect like RC that can jump, tumble, room and zoom! Super easy to use, but wow.. can this thing do so much!

It is also featured as one of Walmart’s Top Holiday Toys of 2018! This TerraSect is also featured on a lot of other holiday guides!

We spent over an hour playing with the TerraSect. The boys thought it was so so awesome, they wanted to keep touching it.. ha.. boys! It literally rolls and jumps! It’s for both indoor and outdoor play. We really wanted to take it for a spin outside, but with the fall conditions (more like winter conditions but with rain ha!) we had to keep all of the fun inside.

My hubby helped me with the video for our youtube channel, and so glad he did! He has had many RC’s growing up and had so many ideas as to how to play with the TerraSect.

My hubby’s idea.. put it on his arm ha!

Look at the TerraSect’s eyes! Ahh.. so cool! It’s super sturdy too! Like heavy duty! No lie!

TerraSect from Alpha Toys is available at Walmart, Target, Amazon and other retailers were cool toys are sold! TerraSect retails for around $25 – $35 buckaroos! GREAT price?? I was so shocked when I seen how affordable it was. This is definitely going to be on our holiday guide!

I heard that Target is offering free holiday shipping with a NO minimum purchase amount! So it you don’t have Amazon Prime, that is something to definitely check out.

Wild transformation: from vehicle to ball, back to vehicle again with easy to use trigger button
Indoor/outdoor use
2.4 GHz control
Drives as vehicle mode super-fast!
Relentless rolling attack: TerraSect can flip itself back over and keep on going!
Light up eyes
TerraSect runs on 4xAA batteries and 3xAAA for controller (not included)

Want to see the TerraSect in action?? Yes.. I know you do! So here is our video review:

Just imagine what you can do with it outside!

That will be a whole other video that we will need to do once the sun decides to shine again!

Carving Pumpkins! Family Fall Time!

October 25, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

So we took a trip to our local pumpkin patch and picked out some awesome pumpkins! So now its time to.. carve them!

This was our first time carving together as a family. The boys are now just old enough to make faces on the pumpkins.. of course they couldn’t really carve them, my hubby and I did that part 😉

I was too busy to get pictures during the carving, but was able to snap a few while my hubby was finishing his up!

Love things like this.. we spent the afternoon cleaning up the yard, filling up large holes in the ground (from Skye digging ha) and my hubby finished puting up our fence! YAY! Now we have an area to take the boys and Skye out so they can run around.

We bought one of those cheap $1 carving kits at Walmart.. and you know what.. it actually worked! HA! I was surprised.. of course we used a large knife to cut off the top, but the scoop and carving tool worked perfectly.

After all the carving was done we then rode over to the Dollar Tree and bought some battery operated tea lights.

They turned out really cool! This was is LJ’s.

Baby A’s and Zieke’s is towards the back with two faces ha!

And.. Daddy’s! He had to make a scary face 😉

I am now roasting the pumpkin seeds and keeping some to plant next year! I would LOVE to have a huge pumpkin patch next year.. we shall see!

Fingerlings has done it again! All new Skeleton Bonehead Dinos and Breakout Playset, just in time for Halloween.

October 19, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

We first seen the Fingerlings Dinosaurs at Sweet Suite, then again at the TTPM Holiday Showcase.. well they now have not only dinos, but a crate playset were two dinos can sit in and you flip a lever and the dinos break out.. AND they have Skeleton ones! They call these boneheads! Soo cool, and they glow in the dark, super bright too!

They ALWAYS send awesome packages, one of my favorites to receive.

In this spooky box it had a black light flashlight, awesome that it did because it charged up the dinos so they glowed really bright in the dark! They are sent an FX sound affects machine.. so so cool.. as well as a little wooden coffin with candy bones!

The breakout set retails for around $25 at Walmart or on Amazon. The boneheads can also be found at Walmart or Amazon for about $15. Now the playset comes with a dinosaur, so for the price of $25, it’s a great deal. Definitely cheaper at Walmart right now.

Amazon also offers the breakout set with two dinos for $40. You can find that here.

UNTAMED Skeleton Dinos AKA Boneheads: Meet Doom and Gloom, fierce and unpredictable zombie skeletons who know friends vs. foes. In Untamed mode, they rattle, roar, hiss, and chomp! In Tamed mode, the nuzzle and purr in their jingle-jangle skeletal way. Players beware, they glow in the dark – so there’s nowhere to hide!

Jailbreak Playset featuring Infrared T-Rex: What happens when the UNTAMED get a little too… ferocious? You give them a time-out in the UNTAMED Jailbreak Playset! This cage comes with Infrared, an exclusive T-Rex with eyes that glow and a fierce desire to escape. Pull the lever if you dare!

Check out our fun video skit we did:

These are definitely some fun toys for any dinosaur fan!

Tukens Orchard and Farm Market! Pumpkin Picking Fall Family Time!

October 18, 2018October 18, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Fall! Personally my favorite season.. and picking pumpkins with the fam.. my favorite thing to do during my favorite season!

We have been wanting to do more as a family, and we happened to find a farm… with a pumpkin patch.. and it was local!

Tuken’s Orchard and Farm Market..such a fun place! They have an animal petting area. You can purchase a large cup of food for $1 and feed the animals. They had Goats, pigs, sheep and a Llama. Boys loved it.

They had tons of pumpkins! Some pre-picked and also ones in the patch were you could go and pick them yourselves. You don’t see to many like that, where you can pick them on your own! The boys thought this was the coolest thing!

It was a fun day! The pumpkins were priced by the pound. We got 5 pumpkins for around $28, which really isn’t so bad considering that the boys picked out some of the largest ones! ha! They had really small pumpkins and gourds for just a few bucks. So this could make out to be a really cheap family day!

They had a cute shop with homemade goodies, decor and candy. Definitely a place we will revisit next year!

Check out Tuken’s for yourself!

Treasure X by Moose Toys, kids get to dig! Will you find gold?

October 17, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Moose Toys does it again! These Treasure X toys are sure to be a favorite and they will be listed as one of my top 10 Stocking Stuffers for this Christmas! (That list coming soon!)

I love these types of toys, a bit messy, but so much fun! The concept is super fun and the 10 steps make it even more exciting, it’s not like they just open it and it’s done.. there’s a little bit of a process 😉

We received one when we attending the TTPM Holiday Showcase this past September. We were going to do a video review, but sometimes the boys just like to open things with out having to film.. so I figured I would blog about it instead.

X marks the spot for a hunt like no other!

Kids will love this exciting way to dig, fizz, and discover cool action figures and collectible treasures! Search for REAL gold dipped treasure and discover the remains of some treasure hunting warriors as you go.

Every Treasure X pack has 10 levels of adventure!

• Find the treasure map within and use it to find out what adventure you are going on!

• Rip away the layer of gold paper!

• Find a mysterious coin and use it on your map to decode which treasure you are about to hunt for!

• Soak the brick in water for 30 seconds, then use the X-Cavator to start digging!

• Discover bones and weapons of Treasure Hunters who have come before you inside the brick!

• Dig out all the bones and build your Treasure hunter!

• Uncover a Treasure Chest! What lies inside?

• Open the treasure chest and add water to fizz and reveal what’s inside! Will it be real gold dipped treasure?

• Display your action figure and treasure

24 Treasure Hunters to Collect

There are 24 Treasure Hunters action figures to discover from eight treasure teams. Will you find the Golden Gladiators, the Bling Bandits, the Pirate posse, the Tomb Hunters or some other buried bones who never made it out alive?

We ran warm water over it for about 30 seconds, MAKE SURE to do this, as it really helps with the digging, there is a label on the top of the Treasure X that mentions doing this.

We got an arm!!

Just digging away…

We got an ultra rare glow in the dark figure!

Look at how bright he glows! I was super surprised! We have a black light that we charged him with! LJ was shocked as well at how bright he was.

We got Lord Lootem!

Now for the treasure chest..

We got a magical potion bottle! These toys are really fun collectibles.

These retail for about $10 on Walmart, Amazon and other large retailers. If you have Amazon prime, these ship for free, you can also order these on Walmart.com as well and most offer free ship to store.
