Animo Game Review

We love incorporating games into our homeschool and our family time, but one type of game that is difficult to find is a biblically-based game.  They do exist, but most of them are either merely Bible trivia or simple roll and move board games.  So when I find a new Bible-based came, I always wanna know more!  That's why I was excited to do a review for Animo: Living Deck Bible Verse Game!

Eagle-Gryphon Games Review

With Christmas coming up, I'm always on the look for great Christmas presents.  But I like to get my kids things that will grow with them.  Things they'll be interested in for more than a week.  Haha!  Don't get me wrong.  We get our kids toys.  But I love getting them some things we can enjoy together - like crafts or games!  Games are a favorite in our house!  And Eagle-Gryphon Games has some great titles!  They were kind enough to send us a few for review!

Play Nine Card Game Review

As you've probably already guessed, my family loves games!  And I'm particularly partial to games that are both fun AND educational!  Play Nine is one of those games.  It's fairly easy to learn, simple to play, and fun for a wide range of ages!  Plus it has math educational value!!!

Election Night and PlaySmart Dice Game Review

I LOVE gameschooling!  You can use pretty much any game - even super simple ones - as gameschooling.  But sometimes its great to have games that are particularly educational! Semper Smart Games has created one of those SUPER EDUCATIONAL games - Election Night - and I LOVE it!!!

The World Game Review

We have lots of math-centered games, critical thinking games, agility games, and even science-oriented games.  But we don't have tons of geography games. There's geography in some well known trivia games, but the problem with those is: if you don't know the answer, you lose.  I wanted something I could play with my kids - where they could learn but also have a chance to win.  That's when I found The World Game!

Cowboy Breakfast Casserole

This casserole is super easy and perfect for a holiday breakfast because you can prep it the night before, cover and store in the fridge, then just throw it in the oven in the morning! Takes 45 minutes to an hour to bake.  That's just about the amount of time it takes for everyone to open and admire their CHristmas presents!  Haha!  Once everyone is done, breakfast is served! 

Renegade Games Lanterns: A Harvest Festival and Lanterns Dice: Lights In The Sky Game Review

I'll admit it.  I'm a complete sucker for a pretty game!  Anyone else?  Haha!  If a game is beautiful, I'm instantly intrigued!  But sometimes I'll find a game that "looks" beautiful, but is either too boring or too difficult to make playing it enjoyable.  Lanterns: The Harvest Festival and Lanterns Dice: Lights In The Sky are NOT those kind of games!  These games are beautiful, enjoyable, and easy to play!

Uncle Goose Educational Blocks Review

Every Christmas I have the same dilemma - what to gift my kids.  I know that they are going to get lots of toys from family.  And we don't live in a palace, so we have to make room for every new toy.  Haha!  So I like to get my kids things that are both fun AND educational!  And Uncle Goose is one of my favorite companies to shop from!  Their blocks are beautiful, well made, fun, AND educational!!!

Story Time Chess Review - Even a 3 Year Old Can Learn To Play Chess!

Can I confess something?  I don't know how to play chess.  I've always wanted to!  I even tried to get my dad to teach me when I was a teenager.  But that lasted all of half an hour.  I just could NOT remember how each of the pieces moved.  Actually, I think my brain just shut off in anticipation of the difficulty.  Haha!  But I've always wanted to know how to play, and I want my kids to learn, so I was THRILLED to find out about Story Time Chess!
