• Cliff Dwellers Pastime Puzzle

    DH and I love putting together puzzles, actually the whole family does. Check out the puzzle we just finished. This one is rated for ages 8 and over.  This one is challenging!  You can’t just put the frame together and go from there. You have to think about this one.  SO MUCH FUN!!   There are 30 whimsical pieces. There are shapes like a duck, a star, a boot, and the letter w. SO COOL!! This is Cliff Dwellers by Daniel Smith. This is a 300-piece pastime puzzle from Winning Moves Games.  The finished puzzle will fit into an 18″ x 24″ frame.  We plan to put this into Grandson Eli’s room.  Eventually, AFTER we find the missing W that is!! Here is how I preserve my puzzles for framing!  I would show you step by step photo’s….. but, someone (not naming names, EMMA!) needed the M for a project. So, when the M is found we will be putting this together permanently. You’ll need: Paint BrushDecoupage Glue. I prefer matt finish. I don’t like the glare on my finished puzzle.Wax Paper Tape two piece of wax paper together. Longer than the puzzle. Slide your puzzle onto the wax paper.…

  • Snugg Skinny Fit Cover for iPad Air

    I am so excited!! For several reasons! First, DH surprised me, I DO MEAN surprised me! with a new iPad Air for my birthday!! MAN this little guy is light! AND fast!! I’m just zooming through apps, pages and pictures. I LOVE my new iPad Air!! Thank you sweetheart! I already have my first review for a case! Yes, my obsession with cases is renewed. NOW I start over! I need cases in every color for my lighter, thinner, more awesome iPad Air!! This is the Snugg Robust and Protective Skinny Fit iPad Air Cover. This awesome cover doesn’t add any weight or bulk to my thin iPad Air. The Snugg is made to fit perfectly around the Air. The case is made of black silicone, with non-slip squared elements. The little squares make the grip perfect! Easy to hold.  I even like the look, very rugged. The case reminds me of a tire. I dunno why it just does! If I had one wish concerning the Robust Skinny Fit Squares cover, is that it would fit more of the front of the screen. That’s just me and in no way impacts the protection or the fit of the Snugg,…

  • Play TIME!! Twister style! GIVEAWAY!

    Kids playing Twister

    Twister is a game I grew up with. It is one of those games that makes you laugh every single time!! Twister has been around since 1966! That’s a game that has stood the test of time. Did you know that since its release, tons of folks have tried and succeeded in setting records for the most contestants in a game?? I had no idea! There are even a contest with the largest combined amount of Twister game mats. The World’s Largest Twister Mat was put together on June 18, 2010 in Belchertown, MA on the Belchertown High School football field. It measured 244.7 feet X 99.10 feet for 24,156 square feet. That’s a lot of Twister!! The previous record, as cited by the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest game of Twister included 4,699 square feet of mats that were combined together. My favorite stat though is, the largest number of contestants in a game of Twister was once bestowed in 1987 with 4,160 contestants tangling themselves at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. How cool is that?!?! For now though, I’ll stick to three of the cutest little twistettes. Emma is 5, Eli 4, and Alice is…
