Wowzer Orbeez Surprises by Maya Toys, add water to reveal a magical creature!

August 9, 2018 Dream Team Family3 Comments

Orbeez.. that’s all you have to say for my kids to get excited!

These are super cute, and NOT messy.. well unless you spill water everywhere like i did! Ha!

We seen these at Sweet Suite and were, again, super lucky to receive some samples! Maya Toys are the ones behind everything Orbeez! They sent us four of these Wowzers along with 2 large containers FULL of grown orbeez.

So you you unscrew the top off the Wowzer and then pull of the foiled cover. Replace the cap and then there is a plastic tab on the top that you can pop off an on to add and drain the water. It really it neat how you can see right through those clear Orbeez once the water is added!

You can even take the Orbeez out and just out in water or leave everything out all together. The boys then played around for a bit and added the colored Orbeez. You couldn’t see them as well with the colored ones, but gee.. the boys had a blast playing in them! I think we filmed for like 15 mins and then they played for an hour with it all!

There are 20 in the first series. There is a “key” that you pop in at the very top and then twist it around for the creature inside to twirl around. It’s really super cute. There are rare and super rare ones!

These retail for right around $6.00 at Walmart and Kmart. For more information you can check out Maya Toys here: https://mayatoys.net/products/orbeez-wow-world-wowzer-surprise.

The Untamed T-Rex from Wowwee! The all new Fingerlings pet!

August 3, 2018August 3, 2018 Dream Team Family1 Comment

Dinosaurs.. Boys love them right??

If they don’t, they will after seeing this!! Wowwee toys, creator of Fingerlings, has started a new line! The “Untamed” line! They have raptors, and now.. a T-REX!!

Just LOOK at the package they sent us:

Can you see what is in there..??

Ok, so this is better, but there is a glare..

Ahh this one! Isn’t he cool! LOOK at how bright his colors are and look at the extras! GREAT marketing here! They sent us this fun necklace, and Amber candy with bugs! (eww lol), and (you cant see from the picture here) they had some dinosaur looking teeth in a bag!

As you can tell, the boys were super excited to open it, trying to get pictures were super hard! lol

Zieke was quite taken with him. This T-Rex is call Ripsaw, there is another one that is blue that is called Ironsaw. Such fun names!

UPDATE – Actually there are 4! The other two are Tracker and Scratch! Check them out HERE!

Ripsaw makes over 40 sounds! He has a sensor on the top and towards the back on the head. You can pet, tap and blow on his face to see what different sounds he will make. We can also lay him down and he snores, so cute!

So, will your T-Rex be a friend… or foe???

Check out our video to see what ours was:

Boxy Girls! New fashionistas with Shipping surprise packs!

July 28, 2018July 28, 2018 Dream Team Family2 Comments

Talk about Cute! These dolls are the meaning of that!

We first seen these at Sweet Suite and I FELL IN LOVE! There are 4 girls that love to do online shopping. Each “shipping box” comes with surprises! There are clothes, shoes, stickers, makeup and more.

We were super lucky enough for Boxy Girls to send us a HUGE package!

Look at this huge package! It was so generous of them! I forgot to take a pick of the inside, but it came with super fun paper packing and the boxes were wrapped up in pink tissue paper. SUPER cute presentation!

These are the three dolls you can get. There is Brooklyn, Nami, Willa & Riley! Here is a picture of the actual dolls from their page on Instagram:

Eek! They are so adorable! I think I found new favorite toy! I love the colors and the faces and that the fact they all look different with different personality and likes!

We got Brookyln!! She is super cute. I noted the watermelon dress as soon as I opened in!

OH and I know this is probably just me, BUT they have a pull tab to open the main boxes! No scissors needed to cute the tape! lol I LOVED that feature, however, the small boxes you will probably need scissors.. If only that feature was on the small ones as well! Ha!

The surprise shipping packs are super cute, to bad you can’t see what it looks like in it! Darn camera!

They each come with fun colorsful paper packaging with a note and stickers in each! Oh so cute!

See the fun navy blue looking packaging?? Love!

The box to the far left was a teaser box! They had 4 long boxes in it that were empty. It said coming soon and something about a doll with surprises.. so maybe they are making a smaller type line of dolls? Not sure, but can’t wait!

Here is Brooklyn up close! She is just so cute. Her shoes were really easier to get off and on too which is nice for smaller hands. The shoes seemed more flexible, like a rubber almost.

We also posted this above picture on Instagram and used #unboxwithboxy and #boxygirls and won a product from them! YAY! Can’t wait to receive it.. and of course do another video on it!

Summer is nearing an end!

July 26, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Ahh! I can’t believe it’s almost over! I took the boys to my parents house the other day and realized this just might be the last time we are over to swim before school starts!!

So, of course, I took some pictures 😉

Isn’t this cute!! We got this little float in our swag box from Sweet Suite! It would make a cute float for Barbie dolls! Ha.. if we had some that is… Bahaha

Zieke to small float ratio lol.. Don’t mind the boys in their underwear! We had just went swimming before that and then after they went inside to rest some they came out to “swing”.. yea… more like get wet all over again!

LOOK AT THIS FLOAT!! This also came in our swag box from Sweet Suite, it’s SO HUGE! It didn’t really fit in the pool that we have, but the boys had fun anyways!

Aww Skye.. She’s such a pretty dog!

Boys love her so much.. can’t wait until we buy our house.. We NEED a fenced in yard for her.

Can you believe she is ONLY 6 months old! She is very calm for a puppy though, well when the boys aren’t around that is!

Baby A LOVES water, not swimming so much but just playing in it.

This inflatable pool has been awesome this summer.. This thing blows up literally in mins and is super easy to take down and put back up.

We were actually in the process of taking it down, but it holds a lot of water and sprays out over the wading part and the slide.

We found a great deal on Kohl’s for it right before summer. I think we paid a little over $200 for it plus got $60 in Kohl’s cash back. It’s been the highlight of our Summer for sure. We would have used it more, but were we are at now it would be impossible to put up.

We just enjoyed some much needed water time!

Ah, this was my favorite part of course! My sister made me an iced coffee! YUM.. I live for coffee, I think most Moms do haha

It was a nice day, and just wanted to post it to remember..

Way to many toys! Wait….did I actually say that?

July 20, 2018July 20, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Yes, I just said that..way to many toys, with more to come!

I find it so hard to film with 3 small boys, even though I SO love it and so do they. I am way behind in filming and need to get my schedule back in place.

I am totally embarrassed to show this, but this is real life.. and it’s messy. Looks kinda like a junk draw but more of a throw all place!

I keep saying I’m going to get it together, but with a very small space it’s so hard! Look at all of those boxes full of toys to review. Ugh and my broken iPad I tried to fix, but just made worse to were it won’t even power on now!

Ah.. and my train table. I have SO much stuff for my Thomas channel but no were to put it, so there is all is ha! I have a huge storage cubby shelf thing my sister gave me from Ikea that I will be using… well once we buy a house! I can’t fit anything else into our room right now!

So many other things I need to sort through! I have games that were sent to us several months ago that we still haven’t played!

I did have a filming schedule each week before we left for NYC, (this worked out great btw), but gee, it takes all day just to film a few videos! I was filming every Wednesday in-between working from home. My Niece would watch Baby A, which was awesome, and then I would film for our main channel with Zieke and LJ.

Every so often my Niece would watch all three or my Mom would watch the older two so I could film for my Thomas channel. I think one day I did 7 videos in one day! It was insane, but I was trying to get all caught up before our big trip.

Oh gee, this angle is even worse.. now I definitely do not want to post this! HA!

This is why we need an extra room or a basement when we move. I dream of having a studio/filming room!

I have at least 5 companies sending me items to review, one of which I have to post by August 5th, plus a few I already have received, plus the ones from Sweet Suite, PLUS all the other ones I have had for awhile! I am more stressed now after actually typing it all out! So, I guess I need to get busy!

Sweet Suite Swag Box full of toys! It has arrived!

July 19, 2018July 20, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

17 POUNDS…. Of PURE HAPPINESS!

Ahh! We decided to open it up with All.. Three.. Boys….!! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. We had some small fights and fits.

(We are trying to teach them about sharing, which btw, isn’t going so well!)

We had to open it outside because our house still isn’t all put together from being away so long! (In case you WERE wondering, I DID get all the laundry done, well cleaned at least, ..in huge pile in our utility room, Ha!)

Look at this squishy! Ah! We haven’t had one this big before and it’s SUPER squishy and slow rising!

We looked through everything but a lot I put back for future videos! I know, I know.. but that trip costed a pretty penny, so I need these for individual videos!

This Mic Guy looks so fun! It’s a 2 in 1 wireless microphone and bluetooth speaker! How fun is this going to be!

This! Ah! This is by Moose Toys and it looks so fun! You have to dig out your surprise collector toys!

I LOVE Squishies! This one was SUPER cute! Check out our video to see it!

Oh and SLIME! I’m not a fan of slime, because it’s super messy and the boys got it all over Skye when we first got her.. and yea.. I’ll stop there.. BUT they do love it. So we keep it in one area of the house now! This is Frozen Treats Slime and they have scents too! Ok, so this DOES have me intrigued!

I couldn’t get pictures fast enough! 3 sets of hand were everywhere!

DIY Bath bombs! Ah! Something boyish! I Love it! Can’t wait to try these.

Score! Water bottle! Love these freebies!

This game looks super cute. I love seeing all these creative games!

Aw! A fingerling plushy that talks! Super cute and pink!

Now this was cool, it was like a squishy with in a plush!

Beaker Creatures! I think its like a bath ball and you submerge into the water to reveal a collectors creature. Super fun!

LOOK as all of this! There was so much stuff! Love that float, we got some nail decals, oh and look at the Five Nights at Freddys set!

This movie and plush doggy! Too cute! Zieke ended up sleeping with him that night.

It all unfolding!!

Cupcake dolls! We had those when I was a little girl!!

A cup holder float.. and then if you mention Bestway you get a full size one! Ah! How fun!

Aw their faces.. I think they were fighting over something here.. My boys 🙂

I have never seen Harry Potter, so not sure, but I think this is a wand, super cute!

Look at this little cute science kit!

Molecules floam! Super moldable!

So this is what I ended up putting back for later! (even though the boys did go back to grab more out!) We have at least a months full of videos in this box!

It was so generous of all these companies to send out these samples! I can’t wait to start filming again! BIG thank you to all of them and for Sweet Suite inviting us to attend! I can’t wait for next year!

Sweet Suite Toy Swag Box!

July 18, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

It’s here!! I’m super excited to get this opened!

I only had the boomerang clip of the box from Facebook! I could have went into my room to get a picture of it, but the boys follow me everywhere and didn’t want to start something now! Ha!

Did I mention we are actually Home “HOME” now! Ha! Long story, but our electric was out and it took over a week to get it back on.

I didn’t realize how much work was involved once the electric goes out! My fridge was covered in mold so I had to clean and then clean some more. I did some major speed cleaning last night when we got into our house around 6pm. But at least I was able to get my laundry (mostly) caught up. (I still think little elves leave dirty laundry when we are sleeping!).

SO everything is FINALLY getting sorted out to a more “Norm” life. We just now have to go get Skye (Our dog) from my Sister In Laws and then we will be all set… well until we find a house to buy.. then that’s another adventure waiting to unfold ha!

Sweet Suite Follow ups and Grandpa Joe’s Candy Buffet for $1!

July 17, 2018July 17, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

It’s done! I was so afraid I wouldn’t follow up with this but I did! I have tons of contacts from the Sweet Suite and I followed up with everyone! YAY!

Look at all of these flyers!!

..and of of these BUSINESS CARDS! EEK! I handed out over 50 business cards! So strange to have business cards for YouTube channels, but my friend over at Tubey Toys said to get some made (which I got for free on Vista Print!) and I did!

I am already getting an overwhelming amount of responses, (just a few really, but still overwhelming as I don’t get many as it is) even a few that reached out before I did! I already have a few companies sending out products to review. So I am SUPER excited.

We also have our SWEET SUITE SWAG BOX that is supposed to be arriving TODAY! EEK! It’s 17 POUNDS! Now THAT will be a video to film! May not have all three boys open it though, it would end up like a pack of wolfs fighting for food!

It took about 30 mins to reach out to everyone, which wasnt bad at all. I was really stressing over nothing ha, but I am one that likes to get things done by a certain time.

During this time, I told the boys if they were good we would go to Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop. They had they $5 candy buffet boxes for only $1 today!

My nephew went with us, so the trip was even more special! It took about 30 mins to drive there, but it was still worth it! Even Mommy B took a break from her diet to grab a box!

Alright, got to go. We still haven’t been back to our house yet due to unfornuate event, but hopefully later today we will! Which means.. more work.. but hey, at least we will be home! Ha!

July 12, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

IT.. WAS.. EPIC!

It was totally worth it! Don’t get me wrong, traveling with a 4 & 5 year old is/was rough, but we did it! They had so much fun and got SO much stuff, with more to come. There were some booths were LJ just wouldn’t step away from!

There was this one booth that the boys really enjoyed:

They have such a creative product! You get to create your own story and then hear it read back to you! It’s called my fabulous storyteller! Boys loved it so much that they gave us one! Definitely doing a video on this! 48 Stories plus you can download more!

There are way to much to post on here, so I will just post a ton of pics! Ha!

We LOVE Maya toys! We had Maya Toys send us some of their products and we loved them. I, of course, loved the bead making sets & Orbeez!

Boxy Girls! Ahh! These are dolls that do online shopping and then you get to open the blind boxes to see what they ordered! Eck! Super Cute!

Treasure X’s! You dig open to find some collectible surprises!

Looks its a Power Ranger Mega Zord! I’m not sure who the other character is?? EEck! Help!

Kuroba! This is actually for girls, but boys can play too! You can battle these and change them up. Such a cute set. Reminds me of a girl version of BeyBlades!

Cartoon network!! Ben 10 and some Power Puff Girls sets! Eek! I was so in love with this fair, I didn’t want to leave!

Cartoon Network had a booth with a new Ben 10 set were you create your own figure! It was awesome, you added all the pieces and then turned a knob then it pushed all the pieces together to create your own personalized figure!

Playmobil! Such a classic! They had new dino set, ghostbusters and more! I need to get some of these sets!

Bubble gloves!! BOYS LOVE THESE! They have these for under $2 at Walmart..and look! Stikbot!

Look at what the boys got! Every kid got to pick out some awesome stuff!! SUPERHEROS ALL THE WAY!

Ok, So this Go Green playdough is the best! We had to actually tell the boys to stop playing with it so other kids could! Ha! This playdough has the best feel to it!

These magnetic tiles.. ha.. LJ would not step away from these until he had built an awesome house! lol

Alex Toys! The first brand we used when we started YouTube!.. Brings back memories! They have Slinky racers! and Do Dats! Super fun!

Oh My, these HexBugs brand animals, just to cute for words!

Fingerlings! They now have plushies coming out as well as Dragon fingerings! Ah! The games looks too cute!

Games Galore! We couldn’t pry the boys away from this booth either! Such fun games, and this host of this booth was pretty awesome too! She played with the boys for quite a while!

We SO need this in our life!

Paper plane maker! Who would have thought?? Super cute!

Crayola! Another CLASSIC! This set had over 50 experiments and for under $25! Homeschool all the way with this set!

Ok, so I think at this booth, LJ stayed here for about 30 mins, then he came BACK for another 20 mins! This had to have been his favorite! Puzoodles! Food and animals combined!

I finally got to meet Tubey Toys!! We both started two years ago! Her Son, M-Tubey is super cute! It totally made my trip meeting them!

This trip was absolutely amazing! BIG THANK YOU to Melissa from Mommie and Gracie for inviting us! We are a super small channel, in hopes to become larger one day, and this just made that dream a step closer!

So we going to finish getting ready and dressed so we can enjoy some site seeing here in NYC!

Peace out from NYC,

Sweet Suite Ahhh! So we are gearing up for this fair! I am super nervous and excited at the same time!

Our channels are so small (hopefully not forever), so it’s very intimidating going into this huge event!

We are planning on driving there ( a 10.. hour.. drive.. eek!). We still have a dentist appointment to go to and we also have to drop off our puppy (Skye) at my sisters, as well as getting some items for our trip and we still have to pack!

This trip is going to be such an investment, but it sure is a dream come true! Boy’s will love it I’m sure, plus we will get some swag sent to us later on!

Well soo that’s day 1.. not to much excitement going on.. yet!
