This year, my daughter needed to learn all 50 states, including abbreviations and capitals. We love to have fun while we learn, so I was thrilled when we received The Scrambled States of America Game by Gamewright a few months ago. Our family is a big fan of Gamewright and I have posted several reviews on some of their games. Gamewright came across my reviews and sent a box full of games for our...

 Recently Gamewright saw the Rat A Tat Cat review on MomsMaterial’s website. They asked if we would be interested in reviewing some of their 2009 games. Since I have enjoyed all the Gamewright games I have been exposed to, I agreed. I was curious to try out their newest games and find out if our family would enjoy them.
Polar Derby is a fun game involving strategy, probability and the roll of the dice! We were not disappointed and would recommend this game to our...

After my Rat-A-Tat Cat review, I sent out a tweet with a link to my post. Our family loved the game and I wanted to share it with my readers. I love to discover new games that encourage learning, strategy and family time.
Imagine my surprise when I received a tweet from Gamewright. They were glad I liked the games and thanked me for the positive review. I also mentioned the Boochie review that I had recently posted. I have always been a big fan of Gamewright, they...

 As Mother's Day approaches, I am always on the lookout for a great gift for my mom, my mother-in-law and myself. I like to find a few items I might like and email them to my hubby. This not only reminds him of the upcoming event, such as birthday, anniversary, mother's day, etc. but it ensures that he has some suggestions that he knows I will like. I like jewelry, plants, flowers, special or fun items, music, movies or books. This year I am hoping for something simple and inexpensive like sleeping late, homemade card, breakfast in bed, no cooking, hot bath and a good book. ...

 The Game of Life: Twists & Turns is one of our favorite family games. It is an updated version which offers more choices that everyone will enjoy. These days technology has taken over and the game includes a "LifePod" which electronically keeps track of and manages your life as you play the game. It calculates the results of certain decisions and you are either rewarded or penalized for your decisions. This game is based around real life events and life points can be more valuable than money.

I have to admit that I saw this game around the holidays and it looked like a lot of fun! I checked it out on the internet and it had great reviews. We put it on our Christmas list and sure enough, Santa was nice enough to drop it off while making his rounds Christmas Eve. I guess he didn't get the last minute email I sent him!
I checked it out and couldn't wait to play! But, we put it in the game closet and I finally got it out this morning (yes, that's 4 months later). I don't know what I was waiting...

 I don't know about you but every time I go to the grocery store and they ask me, "Paper of Plastic?", I start feeling guilty about all those plastic bags stashed away under my kitchen sink. I promise myself that I will buy some recyclable bags, but I haven't been motivated enough to buy one that makes me want it now!
I have finally found the motivation to purchase some bags, stash them in my car and use them at the grocery store. These bags will also come in handy for many other tasks that would typically cause...

 After receiving this for Christmas (2008), my 7 year old son put this together quickly and wanted more. The box has pictures of several other sets that go together. Since his birthday is in January, I told him we would add it to his list of things he would like. Then he went in his room and got his Lego's out. A few quiet hours later, he and his friend asked me to see their masterpiece. A Lego and K'nex amusement park filled with rides, shows and people. It was amazing! I decided to let him keep it out in the front room, since I knew...

 Are you looking for a great necklace that you can tell your husband to put on your "list" of gifts? Are you a husband looking for a great gift for your wife? Are you looking for a good Mother's Day or Valentine's Day gift? This could be your answer.
I received this necklace for Christmas 2008 from my husband. My necklace is an 18" gold chain with three disc charms with the names Taylor, Myles and David. We call it my "Three Most Precious Things" necklace. I receive compliments on it all the time. Just...
