February 5, 2019 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

So my son just turned 3 and he is in love with Monsters and Nerf! So we came up with a little fun theme.. Monsters.. and Nerf! lol

I found some cute monster images online and printed them out. I then hung them all over the house so he could go “monster” hunting. It was so cute. He absolutely loved it!

We had Nerf guns and a bowl full of Nerf bullets so everyone could join in on the fun 😉

My Sister made this cake of course! It was soo adrobs! My son was amazed lol! Check out my sisters facebook page to see all of her amazing creations!

Some of his presents! I LOVE these! They are so cute!

My Sister made some cupcakes for the boys to decorate. They made them into monsters! So so cute!

My Sis made homemade sprinkles for the inside… yes.. she is amazing! haha!

We kept things really cheap! We found the decorations and party plates and such at either at the Dollar Tree or Walmart. Also, there are ALL kinds of clearanced toys at Walmart now, so we spent maybe a total of $30 on all his gifts!

Can’t believe my baby is 3!

Pikmi Pop Bubble Drops by Moose Toys!

January 10, 2019 Dream Team Family1 Comment

These things are so addictive! I can’t seem to be able to put them down!

We were lucky enough to find these at our local Target! These were the last two! We found them laying behind some other toys.

The cute wrapping is enough to want to buy them all! Ha!

This is the Parrot! It’s a RARE!

See the bubble drop??! So cute!

LJ opened up a squirrel! IT WAS A RARE TOO! Ha! Imagine that!

There is it’s bubble drop. They are so addictive, they really are ha! Stress reliever for sure!

There are over 24 to collect with some ultra rare ones as well! These retail for about $8 each, kinda pricey in my opinion, but they are really cute and the bubbles can come out of the Pikmi’s, so you can switch em out and even wash the Pikmi’s if needed.

You can purchase these online on Amazon and at other retailers. We found these at Target, but can’t seem to locate them on their website.

Floof from Play Alive! Moldable play snow!

January 7, 2019 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Well snow is fun and all.. but it does get really cold.. and I don’t like the cold much.. SO we found a great alternative! Ha! FLOOF!!

Floof is a soft and stretchy play compound and comes in all kids if different sets!

An amazing compound that feels lighter than air! Super moldable, super soft! You’ll get amazing details when you shape it with any of our tools, or make your own creations using just your hands. One thing’s for sure — once you feel it, you won’t want to put it down!

We received two sets, a Snowboard Parks & a Dino Babies! These were really fun! We really enjoyed the Dino Babies set. You mold little dinos and there is even a roller so you can make dino foot prints. The other set was cute too, comes with two snowboards that you can put your fingers into and you can then finger snowboard! Ha!

Now, to us this didn’t feel anything like snow.. but oh my goodness.. it was so much fun! It’s kinda stretchy.. Marshmellowy kinda.. It’s hard to explain. (I will add though, it is a bit messy and will stick to your clothes, so maybe have the kiddos play with this on a table. Clean up wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, sweeps up easy and you can even brush your clothes off and it pretty much falls off.)

They have all kinds of other floof sets! I am really wanting the snow ball kit! Ha! Visit their site to see all of the kits they have to offer!

These sets retail from around $15-$20. Amazon has the Dino Babies and Snowboard sets for right around $15 right now.

These are such great sensory type sets, my boys LOVE anything hands on.

Cabbage Patch Dolls & Adoptimals by Wicked Cool Toys!

December 19, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Cabbage Patch Kids! I can’t believe they are celebrating 35 years! I had a few growing up! They were so popular when they first came out, people literally fought over them!

Wicked Cool Toys now has these in their line of toys. Not only do they have the dolls, but they Adoptimals (plush animals), figures, sets and more! So so cute!

Aren’t they so adorbs! I love the dolls’ chubby feet! They are so up to date and stylish too. The accessories for the dolls, like the bracelet, makes it even more cute!

The adoptimals are super soft, especially the cat we received. They are the “Lot’s Of Licks” Adoptimals and come with a food item that is magnetic and sticks to their magnetic tongues so it looks like they are licking the food item. It’s so cute! The adoptimals would be perfect for a toddler. Simple but sweet!

You can purchase these on Amazon, Target and Walmart. They all range in price from $10-$40. Target has a great sale going on right now for the Holidays with free two day shipping too!

I love Wicked Cool Toys, they have such fun toys! I was super excited when they sent us these to review! Check Wicked Cool Toys out on their site to see what all they offer.

Teddy Ruxbin & Grubby Plush Hug N Sing Talking Toys by Wicked Cool Toys!

December 14, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Teddy Ruxbin was released in 1985 and was considered to be the first animated talking toy! Now Wicked Cool Toys has him and his friends in their line of toys! How cool is that!?

Earlier this year, The Jim Henson Company announced that they will be releasing an all new animated Teddy Ruxbin TV series! Can’t wait to see it… and watch out! These toys are sure to see an up-sweep in sales! So get them now!

We have fun and did a “Do not choose the wrong box” video on our channel, Aaron went for the small box, but eventually found the toys! Ha! That kid..

Aren’t they cute! They sing and talk when you hug them! Hug them more than once for them to say or sing something different. These would be perfect for a toddlers first lovey or first plush animal. These two are so sweet! I love how both can play a full song.

A little bit about the story of Teddy Ruxbin:

In 1985, Teddy Ruxpin became an overnight sensation as parents and children embraced this lovable, animated storytelling toy with a wholesome, gentle nature. Through Teddy, children were introduced to The World of Teddy Ruxpin, a magically imaginative place filled with Teddy’s many friends and his many exciting adventures in the Land of Grundo.

BIG Thank you to Wicked Cool Toys for sending us these awesome two plush talking toys. They are sure to be your little ones new best friends.

Check out more about Wicked Cool Toys on their website.

Teddy and Grubby can both be found on Amazon for about $20 each.

Scruff A Luvs by Moose Toys! Find them Scruffy, Make them Fluffy

December 12, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

What a cute concept! Kids get to open us this set to find a poor animal rolled up in a ball all matted and scruffy looking, then they get to wash and rinse to reveal their cute animal! THEN they get to dry their animal off and blow dry, THEN they brush them and fluff them all up! It’s so so cute. My son LOVED the whole process. Of course playing in the water was the favorite!

This is how they come!

My son was so gentle when washing, drying and brushing. Now when you wash them use a bit of soap so all of the hard residue will come off. Then rise thoroughly at least once, but two or 3 times would be better!

It was so cute to watch. We did speed up the drying process and dried him in the dryer on a low setting for about 30 mins. After the drying cycle was finished we were able to brush him smooth!

Find us Scruffy, Make us Fluffy

Rescue your poor little Scruff-a-Luv and transform them from scruffy to fluffy. Simply wash, dry, groom and reveal if you’ve adopted a dog, cat or rabbit!

Wash your Scruff-a-Luv

Give your Scruff-a-Luv a nice bath to wash out its matted fur. Wash in a sink or large bowl of lukewarm water and, once washed, rinse off in clean water at least once.

Reveal and dry your Scruff-a-Luv

What pet have you rescued? Is it a dog? A cat? A rabbit?

Once you’ve washed and revealed your Scruff-a-Luv, make them warm and dry by drying them thoroughly with a large towel, followed by drying with a hair dryer – just like in a pet salon! Make sure you use a warm setting with adult supervision.

Groom and love your Scruff-a-Luv

Treat your pet to a styling session and make them look and feel gorgeous by brushing them and adding their special hair clip. Once they’re looking fluffy and beautiful, it’s time to give them a name, put their collar on and fill in their adoption certificate!

Finished! Kitty is so so cute and fluffy!

For more information check out their website!

These range in price from $10 – $30. They are available on Amazon, Target & Walmart.

They are on sale at Target right now for around $17, Amazon’s prices are all over the place. Some are $10 but you won’t get them in time for Christmas. So I’m thinking Target is your best bet, PLUS they have free shipping right now!

BIG Thank you to Moose Toys for sending us one! This was SUCH a fun process!

A well groomed, Mommy B

These unicorns! Oh my goodness! They are the cutest!

MGA Entertainment makes these AND the LOL Surprise dolls. This company definitely knows what it’s doing!

Now, I have never tried the slime making part with these unicorns. I have heard that it’s horrible though and doesn’t work.. BUT you can always make the slime like you do in the smaller Poopsie packs… so keep that in mind!

I honestly think for the $50 though that these are worth it. They are a really good size and come with a lot extras. The small poopsie packs make just one slime, these make 4 PLUS you get the super incredible magical looking unicorn doll ha!

I did an ” Alexa chooses our toy to unbox” video on one of our channels. I love being able to incorporate what is trending ha! We try to do that with all of our video reviews.

We got…

… Dazzle Darling! She is the blue one.. isn’t she sooo cute??!! The one next to her is from the first wave. We have three now… only one more needed to complete the collection!

HINT: I learned a hack from PB & J, you can push down on the top of the container they come in and should be able to see some of the hair! We did this with all three and knew which ones we were getting! I know, I know what you are thinking… but I didn’t want to get a duplicate! lol

We have one more to open.. and we are pretty sure it’s Whoopsie Doodle!

Make magical unicorn poop (slime) with Poopsie Slime Surprise! With a little unicorn magic and sparkle, you can customize unicorn poop and transform it multiple times! When you gotta go, store the poop for magical fun anytime! Poopsie Surprise Unicorn magically poop slime! Each time you feed your surprise unicorn and sit her on her glitter potty, she creates surprise, collectible unicorn poop (slime)! Transform your unicorn poop over and over again with Unicorn Magic! Over 20 magic surprises included with each Surprise Unicorns! Four unicorns to collect! Will you unroll Dazzle Darling or Whoopsie Doodle?
Poopsie Surprise Unicorn includes one Surprise Unicorn (Dazzle Darling or Whoopsie Doodle)

One glitter potty.
Four Unicorn Food packets (slime powder), four Unicorn Magic packets, one Unicorn Sparkle packet.
One exclusive bottle and one exclusive poop character keychain.
One unicorn shirt & diaper, spoon, hair brush, cleaning tool, and measuring cup. Poopsie Slime Surprise! Surprise Unicorn & Mystery Pack COMBO #1 [Dazzle Darling OR Whoopsie Doodle]

Our Walmart is stocked to the gills with these and our Walmart is horrible with getting new toys in, so check your local Walmart. You can go to BrickSeek to see which locations around you have them. If you don’t know the SKU number, I mean .. come on.. who actually does lol, you can click on the SKU finder to look up the item.

Amazon has them right now! Wave 1 and Wave 2!

These toys are hot! Get them while you can!!

Word Mine, A free family game to play on Alexa by Sensible Objects!

December 10, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

If it’s free.. it’s for me!! Right?? Especially something everyone can enjoy!

Word mine is a fun puzzle solving word game by Sensible Objects. It’s part of their Voice Originals line of games. Smart games for smart speakers!

Sensible Object, an award winning London-based game studio, introduces Word Mine, their newest gaming development in the line of Voice Originals games, which utilize the power of smart voice technology to create an unparalleled play experience. In Word Mine, people of planet Earth have used and discarded all their words, leaving them buried in the ground. Play Word Mine as an explorer on a mission to piece together the forgotten words of the world. You must master the mine by thinking fast and solving the anagrams to bring words back into the world!

Alexa will guide you through Word Mine and help you navigate the game as she looks out for your safety and helps you read the letters, but it’s up to you to solve the word puzzle in time before the mine collapses in on you. Every level uncovers new letters, and it’s up to you to use your lexical prowess to get to the bottom of the mine and collect coins for the words you create. Also, you can trade these coins for helpful items from the shopkeeper, to use on further expeditions in the future. The deeper you mine the harder the anagrams get, allowing you to test and expand your vocabulary while having fun.

To play Word Mine, activate the free Skill from the Alexa app and then say “Alexa, let’s play Word Mine.” Then, enjoy the game as followed:

● As you enter the mine, you are presented with a set of 3 letters, and asked to make a word that uses all 3 letters. The clock is ticking though, you have 90 seconds to crack the anagram!

● Get the word correct and you can head further into the mine. The deeper you go the harder the anagrams get. Keep digging until you are unable to make a new word.

● Run out of time and you trigger a collapse and have to leave the mine, but you get to keep all the words you found that day.

● After leaving the mine, you will meet a shopkeeper who needs the words you mine to help people use words all over the world. The shopkeeper will offer you a payment of coins in exchange for the words you have taken from the mine to help you in future mining exhibitions.

● Return tomorrow for a new word puzzle every day.
Free to enable and play, Word Mine is available now on the Amazon Alexa store.

Thank you Sensible Games for introducing us to some fun free games! They offer more games as well, check out their website!

We had a lot of fun playing this game, you do have to wait the next day to play the next level, but it’s something to look forward to the next day!

Zieke is learning his letter and spelling, so this was great for him. He was so tickled when he recognized the letters. Even if you have younger kids, you can solve the word and then they can repeat the word to Alexa. Fun for the whole family!

This is definitely something to check out!
