#RazorBlockParty with Tryazon

 

We recently had a blast trying out the new Hovertraz Prizma hoverboard from Razor Worldwide at our Tryazon #RazorBlockParty! This hoverboard was fun for both kids and adults alike. Everyone who tried it learned how to ride it quickly and easily. The age limit states 8+, but the younger kids enjoyed the ride as well with the help of an adult and wearing a lot of safety padding. 

 The hoverboard moves easily and allows you to go forward, backward, and turn around with just slight movements of your feet. The battery lasts about 40 minutes, allowing lots of friends to have a turn. There are color-changing lights on the wheels and front of the hoverboard as well, adding to the fun! I recommend a Razor Hovertrax Prizma for the older kids, tweens, and teens in your life who like to move and groove!

#ReadtheDream Book Club

Thanks to @StMartinsPress and @SheSpeaksUp, I had a chance to read Diane Chamberlain's new book The Dream Daughter. It was an intriguing read that kept me up too late turning pages. I loved the story. As a mother myself, it tugged at my heart strings and I needed to know what happened with Carly and her daughter. I, personally, enjoyed the ending and I'm happy with how it turned out. Will you? You'll just have to read it to find out! Check it out here: smarturl.it/DreamDaughter. #ReadtheDream #Ad

Tryazon Party: #CODENAMES Disney from #USAopoly!

At our house, we love playing CODENAMES and we love Disney! So, of course, I jumped at the chance to host a CODENAMES Disney Tryazon Party! We all had a great time with fun gameplay, silliness, yummy food, and staying up way too late...

The original version of Codenames is a blast, and the Disney version adds enough of a unique twist to make it even more awesome. I love that there are pictures on each card, with the corresponding word on the back. The pictures make the game more engaging and accessible for younger kids. The words mimic the original version, but also serve to help players who may be less familiar with Disney movies to identify who/what the card is actually showing. I also love that there are setup cards with two different levels of difficulty - a 5x5 grid with assassin for the more advanced players, and a 4x4 grid with no assassin for an easier game. All in all, it is a super fun game that I would recommend for any Disney fan in your life.

Tryazon Party: #Ogosport #EscapeTheIndoors

We had a blast at our #Ogosport #EscapeTheIndoors party from Tryazon! We got to test out a lot of products and enjoy the June sunshine on the first day of Summer!! We tried out the OgoDisk H2O, OgoPaddle Ball, Splash Tail, and Glove-A-Bubbles. We found the products to be fun for a variety of ages - a great way to beat the heat! My kids especually loved the Splash Tail and the Glove-A-Bubbles.

The OgoDisk H2O were fun to use with water balloons. They had a good stretch to them, allowing the balloons to land gently and bounce back easily. They were also fun to get wet abs throw like a Frisbee, splashing water drops at everyone around them.

The Paddle Balls were fun, too, though suitable for a little bit of an older audience than we had at our party. I would say they would be really fun for ages 8ish and up. The 5 and 6 year Olds really weren't coordinated enough to use them well. The adults at the party found them fun! We liked the bright summery designs (waves and surfboards!) and the light wood.

The Splash Tail was a big hit with the kids! They liked to load up a water balloon and launch it at their friends. It allowed them to throw the balloon better than they could with their hands. And an added bonus - the sling caught all the water balloon pieces so we didn't have to go gather them out of the grass!

At the end of our party, we all got to play with the Glove-A-Bubbles! The kids loved the fun characters. They were able to make a lot of bubbles all at once, which was fun too. They were a little difficult for the smaller hands to use (the 2 and 3 year olds struggled to keep the glove on their hands). The packets of bubble solution were a bit tricky, too, since they tended to hold their folded over shape. It was hard to navigate the glove into the bag with one hand while also holding the bag up and open with the other hand. In the future, I would put the bubble solution in a wide flat container (like an upside down Frisbee) and just have the kids dip and go. The packets were nice because they could be resealed though!

All in all, a really fun party and a great way to spend time outside! Thanks Tryazon and OgoSport!

Culturelle Digestive Health Women's Healthy Balance from Smiley 360

I got to try a #FreeSample of Culturelle Digestive Health Women's Healthy Balance probiotics thanks to Smiley 360! They were easy to add to my daily morning routine, and I felt like I was making a healthy choice for my digestive system. I would recommend Culturelle probiotics to my female friends who are looking to start or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Check them out here!

Tryazon Tryabox: Strictly Briks!

What a fun Tryabox from #Tryazon! We got to try out #StrictlyBriks - my kids and I both loved them! We got a set of AlphaBriks and MathBriks that came with a baseplate and a handy storage bag. The letters, numbers, and symbols add a whole new dimension to our building. They attach easily to the baseplate, and they are super easy to remove because of the way they are designed. The Trap and Gap sets (we got a "Big Brik" one that is compatible with Duplo-type bricks and a regular one that is compatible with traditional Lego-type bricks) are fun and add a creative dimension to our building. The Big Brik Trap and Gap has 4 separate "gates" that can move up or down away from the main baseplate. Two of those gates have extending platforms that slide out from the bottom. This can change the angle that the ramp hits the ground below making it more compatible for whatever vehicles or objects might be passing through. The regular Trap and Gap baseplate has 2 "gates" in it, each with an extending platform. The regular set also came with Stackers, tall bricks that can be used between baseplates to build higher faster. We also received several extra baseplates and a bag each of big bricks and small bricks to enhance our building experience. Overall, Strictly Briks work well with our current collection of bricks, and they add a fun new dynamic to the way we play. I would highly recommend them to any brick-enthusiast to add to their collection.

Tryazon Party: The #3Doodler Start #PowerpuffYourself Party

We had a great time trying out the #3DoodlerStart 3D pen from #3Doodler, thanks to #Tryazon. The pen is super easy and fun to use. My daughter loved imagining herself as a Powerpuff girl. How will you #PowerpuffYourself?!

The 3Doodler Start is a fun tool for kids to create their own 3D objects. I like the Powerpuff Activity Set because it provides a little inspiration/guidance for my kids while allowing them to still express their own creativity. The pen itself is pretty simple to use. It charges with a power cord, but is cordless when you're using it. It fits well in all hand sizes. There is an on/off switch and a single button for operating the extruder. The plastic comes out at a good rate, in my opinion - it's not too fast to control. The tip gets warm, but not too hot for kids. While it was on, I could touch the tip without any problem. My kids had fun with it, but had a little bit of trouble keeping the tip at a good distance from the plastic they'd already doodled. This led to less-than-smooth results, but the kids didn't mind. The plastic strands were used up quickly, so be prepared to use A LOT of plastic to make these Powerpuff Girls. The flat molds that come with it are easy to use and make doodling easier for me. The head mold was tricky - the plastic didn't stick to it well, so I found myself trying to hold the mold, the plastic, and the 3Doodler all at once. It got tricky. Overall, we had a fun time learning to use this. I would say this would be great for kids 7 to 10 years old.
