Tryazon Party: The #3Doodler 3D Pen!

What a fun product!! We were able to try out the #3Doodler Create 3D pen at a #Tryazon party. The pen is simple to learn how to use. We loved using our imaginations and creating different objects - the possibilities are endless! My guests commented that they don't normally get a chance to sit down and create with their hands as that's typically more of a kids' arts & crafts type thing, so they were grateful for a chance to let their imaginations run wild! For the less creative types, we also looked up some stencils on the 3Doodler website and modified them for our creative desires. The boys had a fun time trying to create a structurally sound tower using as few strands of plastic as possible - and they laughed the whole time! It was a fun, relaxing, engaging evening for everyone. I highly recommend checking out the 3Doodler for any creative, fun-loving adult in your life.

ob tampons with Smiley360

I recently tried ob tampons for free with Smiley360. They are tampons with no applicator. There is less waste and they are more discreet! I found them easy to use and effective at protecting against leaks. They were comfortable and helped me feel confident. Check them out here: http://h5.sml360.com/-/2t86g

Tilt SpinTales Jungle Rug Tryazon Party

We had a fun party trying out the Tilt SpinTales Jungle Rug thanks to Tryazon! The rug itself is high quality. It seems durable - I imagine it will hold up to my kids' use for many years. The colors are bright and the images are fun and engaging for my children. The rug makes a great quality standalone product, but it comes with the added bonus of working with an interactive app! The app has 3 different stories that children can navigate through on their own. The app uses augmented reality with certain picture markers on the rug to make the rug "come alive" and include your children in the stories. App users can play mini games/activities within the stories as well. For example, one of the stories included a character doing yoga poses and the kids can select different poses and follow along. The app is decent quality - the graphics are okay but not spectacular. I sometimes had a hard time matching the markers on the rug to activate the augmented reality. The storylines didn't really seem cohesive to me, as an adult, but the kids liked them. The 2- and 3-year-olds could work the app and seemed engaged by it. We used an iphone and an ipad to test out the app; the children seemed to prefer the ipad because of the bigger screen.

There is also a Tilt SpinTales Enchanted Duvet set that looks fun to try out. I'm sure my kids would enjoy this as well! I received a free product to host my party and facilitate my review, but all opinions are my own.

Culturelle Kids Regularity Gentle-Go Formula

I was sent a free sample of Culturelle Kids Regularity Gentle-Go Formula from Smiley360. This is an easy-to-use probiotic that has worked great with my kids. It is simple to add to their yogurt, applesauce, or juice. They don't seem to notice a difference in flavor, but I notice a difference in their regularity. It has been awesome to use while potty training my 3 year olds. Check it out!

EQtainment QWunder Party

What a fun set of products! I was able to host a QWunder Party thanks to Tryazon and EQtainment. These are designed to help kids develop good social skills and behaviors in preparation for school and, well, life in general. We got to meet Q, an adorable little monkey that helps kids to calm down and focus. The stuffed animal is weighted, and when it sits on the kid's tummy it helps them calm down, breathe, and refocus. We also played the Q's Race to the Top game. This was simple enough for our 3-year-olds, but fun enough for all the adults to enjoy as well. The Q, You, and Do cards each have different questions or activities designed to develop good emotional intelligence. The Q cards present a situation about Q and ask a question about how he should react in the situation ("Q didn't like a gift his friend gave him. What could he say to his friend?"). The You cards ask a question to help the kids think and process the world around them ("What rules are good rules and what rules do you think should be changed? How could we change them?"). The Do cards have to do a fun/silly activity to get you moving and interacting with one another ("Grab a friend and do a wheelbarrow walk across the room and back."). We loved interacting and learning and playing together at our party! We also There is also a fun QWunder show and app that coordinate with the other products. It was fun for the kids to watch the show and see their monkey "alive." We had a great time learning about each other and interacting at our QWunder party. 

Oodles of Fun Cupcake Party with Sweet Creations and Tryazon

I had the chance to throw a fun Oodles of Fun Cupcake Party thanks to a free party pack from Tryazon and Sweet Creations by Good Cook. Included in the fun party pack was OodleTip Stars, a cupcake/cake pop stand, cupcake corers, cupcake dividers, cupcake scoops, cupcake liners, and cupcake boxes. We were definitely able to highlight the awesomeness of cupcakes and of the Sweet Creations products at our party!

We started off the party by making cupcakes. The flavor of choice was a festive fall caramel apple cupcake. The kids loved putting the cupcake liners into the cupcake pans - it was the perfect activity for them to do while the adults chatted and mixed the batter. We all loved trying out the cupcake scoop. It was nice to not get batter dripping all over our hands and the pans. The scoops held the batter well and were easy to use. We felt they provided an efficient, clean way to get a uniform amount of batter in each liner. As the cupcakes baked and cooled, we made frosting and discussed how we would fill the cupcakes. We tried a few different varieties. We had caramel apple frosting and buttercream frosting. For some of the cupcakes, we cored them and filled them with caramel then topped with buttercream. For others, we didn't core them, but mixed both frostings together on top for an aesthetically pleasing, fun, delicious cupcake. The OodleTip was so easy to use! We were able to cut the tip to form the type of star we wanted. We filled it with the desired frosting, and had fun topping the cupcakes. My favorite part? Clean-up was a breeze, because the OodleTip bags are disposable! Just use and toss. When we were done frosting, we drizzled caramel on the top of the cupcakes and displayed them on our cupcake stand. They looked great! I loved being able to enjoy the cupcakes with my friends, and having the boxes to send some home in, too. All in all, it was an awesome party with fun friends and great products. Thanks Tryazon and Sweet Creations!

Poland Spring Sparkling Water

I was able to try Poland Spring Sparkling Water from Smiley360. I like the taste of the Raspberry Lime flavor. It is sweet and citrus-y without being too overpowering. I definitely recommend drinking it chilled and/or over ice - it is super refreshing that way. I love that it's a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks. I received a free sample of this product in exchange for my honest review.
