Watch Ya Mouth Game Review




 We received this game free to review.



Watch Ya' Mouth Throw-down Edition is the evolution of the original, wildly popular, hilarious Watch Ya' Mouth game. Rather than just speak phrases, players now go head-to-head with hilarious and challenging tasks - while wearing mouthpieces. Throw-down Edition takes competition - and laughter - to the next level and builds on the multi-generational gaming phenomena.

Throwdown Edition has already been Awarded Top Holiday Toy of 2017 by Toy Insider & selected for the 2017 Amazon Holiday Toy List.

I am a fan of fun games and activities with family for the holidays. I had the chance to try this game for the first time recently. I decided the best place to try it out was at my relative's house with all the little cousins. We learned very quickly some of the activities were not well received by some of the youngsters. There were music references that were way over their heads and many activities required the use of cell phones. Now, I know cell phones are a common occurrence now days. But, for our kids that isn't an option. In the end we ended up just making up our own fun with the mouth pieces and just looked through the cards and picked out favorites to play.
If you want a fun game this is it. But, just be aware there are a lot of activities might be a little more complicated.

Halloween on a Budget

Halloween is coming up quick and being a frugal mom I always look for ways to be thrifty while still allowing my kids have their fun. Just like with other holidays I look for fun halloween decor after the holiday to use the next year. So, each year we pull out the boxes and decorate and look through old costumes to see what we can make new again. This year we found a few that can be used again with just a couple tweaks.

This should be fun! 

Along with costumes, we try to find inexpensive activities as well. There are lots of fun pumpkin patches in our area, and they provide all day fun at a great price and we even come home with pumpkins to carve! 
 This one is from a few years ago!

 It's also good to have a fun activity to do at home. Why not color your own trick or treat bag?
This amazing site offers bags, shirts, and even pillowcases to color yourself and make them exactly how you choose. They are so fun and if you choose a glow in the dark bag it'll even add to the costume for the fun night!!

Affordable Smart Home

    Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links, which means I make a commission if you purchase from my link.

   Picture this, You have been out all day shopping. Your are tired, it's a lot later than you planned, and you know it's pitch dark in your house. If only there were some way to turn the lights on before you get home, so you don't have to stumble into the darkness with arms full of bags. Would you like to take a peek inside your home while you are away? Keeping an eye on those pesky teens, who are old enough to stay home but you just want to be sure everything is safe and sound! Or, keeping an eye on the sleeping baby in the next room! You are in luck! All of this is available in one affordable package!! I was lucky enough to receive this package to review straight from Vivitar. It is the Vivitar Wi-Fi Smart home/office Remote Control System.
  This set includes a camera, a smart bulb, and a smart plug. Everything hooks up to your home WiFi allowing it to be controlled via an app on your Android or Apple device. The installation and setup process was a bit challenging due to some "bugs" in the app. But, I finally got it all working! 
          The smart bulb took a few tries to get it to connect but once I got it going it was pretty cool. The app has everything you need to control the bulb. You can adjust brightness, color, craft a fun scene, and even set a timer for turning the light on and off remotely. It will work in an overhead light fixture or in a lamp. Just have to have the main switch on and then everything else is controlled by the app. 

   
     The smart plug allows you to toggle power, and set a timer for the devices you have plugged in. This plug would be great use for a lamp that you would want to turn on to deter strangers or allow yippy some light when coming into a dark home. Just plug the device into the smart plug turn the power on and then you can remotely control it from your app. Easy peasy!






I like to set the timer to turn the lamp on in the evenings that way we are greeted into a well lit home. The timer has full customization to certain days or times. You can adjust it however you like.


               I have saved my favorite part for last! The camera is simple to hook up, install and use! It is so cool, too, because it has 2 way audio. So if your little one is going down for a nap, you can speak gently to calm them without having to go in and disturb the sleep tyke. The camera picks up great video in light or dark rooms. The dark screenshot was in complete darkness and I love how you can still see the entire room clearly. During the daytime, the video does show in color. It picks up audio clearly but the speaker to talk back from the app is not adjustable and therefore isn't very loud. I wouldn't trade it though! I still like the way it all works easily from my tablet. 


          Well, that's my take on this cool system. I'm so glad I was able to try this product. I am now thinking about getting a few additional accessories to add onto the setup. Additional bulbs, cameras, outlets and even a doorbell camera can be added to build your system to fit your needs.

Starting a New Hobby



 Summer's are good for more than just fun in the sun. Some people even  start a new hobby. One thing I have always been interested in, would definitely be playing and instrument. I never learned to play anything. I was thinking about this the other day. If I were to pick now days I would probably choose the guitar. Which led me to browsing the interwebs. I found the most awesome guitars. My favorite is the Starry night travel acoustic, but that is not the only luna guitar in stock at MF . There are many many other styles to choose from.

So, if you are also thinking if picking up and instrument for the first time definitely give the musician's friend a look.

Tips From My Sewing Room

I have been doing more crafting lately than I have writing. I'm feeling a little disheveled. I like to have a neatly organized sewing room to enjoy my quiet time. I would like to share some of my organizing tips I use to keep my crafting space my "happy" place.  They are very simple tips!!
I feel like maximizing the upper space in a room is important.
I am using a magnetic bowl to hold my straight pins to my ironing board. They are in easy reach and I don't have to keep moving them.
 


Keeping all my cutting tools and rulers together in a dedicated cutting area. 
Even in my small room (8ftx6ft) I can designate area for each task.


Bins bins and more bins! 
These definitely come in handy, and even more so when they have labels.
I'm storing ribbon in here for now but hope to change this soon.
 I would like to be able to see my ribbons.



A large ruler is needed a lot in my crafts so I tapped the very long fabric ruler to my desk for easy measuring.

Like I said before..... Bins bins and more bins. 
Upcycling some soup bowls from Chick Fil A into storage for smaller accessories. The lids snap on snugly so even little pins have a hard time falling out. it is no surprise I love Chick Fil A, They value the environment and recycling like I do! Since I am a dedicated chick fil a mom, I was challenged to use these containers... I guess I showed them! 

Again, everything has its place. Basic desk accessories together in a handy can. 
I hope you found my tips handy. It is as simple as finding what works best for you!
