Rip Ride 360 and Tryazon!

 Our family was lucky enough to be chosen to share a Razor product with our friends and neighbors. With Covid, and a medically complicated kiddo, we hosted our event a bit different. We had an in person party with our out of state friends and one set of neighbors in our social bubble. Then we had additional neighbors take the ride-on home, enjoy at their leisure, and send back fun pictures!! This was such fun it's still continuing and I've just posted in our neighborhood Facebook group to share with more neighbors!!

We got to use the Razor RipRide 360 which has LED glow back wheels and sparkly spots on the front giant wheel. This toy drifts and cruises low to the ground for awesome thrills that make mom feel safe too!! Helmets were always on per my own rules but there was tons of fun to be had. 

We figured out we own an astronomical amount of Razor products as we started our event!!

Neighbors and friends all watch their kiddos get a try on the RipRide360

With a 160# weight limit even adults could have fun!!

The RipRider only took Tim about 15 minutes to assemble. 

Look at that glow!!

T-fal and time!

Life has been busy even though it's still summer break. Just a week before our long planned family vacation Oliver, then Carter, followed by Nolan all came down with hand foot and mouth disease. While they recovered in time to be cleared to head to the beach, it put a damper on our planned vegetable party with friends to highlight T-fal's new line of fun kitchen gadgets. Instead of hosting our veggie share playdate in mid July, we had to bump it to early August. That darn contagious virus!!

 I still want to share the new Ingenio line now in July with everyone and will come back and post pictures from the playdate. At our party, every mom is bringing along a favorite fresh veggie and we'll clean, prep, and chop them for the kids to explore and taste.

Included in the pack to share and show friends was the following:
• T-fal Ingenio Rapid Chopper

• T-fal Ingenio Micro Edge Peeler
• T-fal Ingenio 4 Quart Bowl
• T-fal Zen 6” Utility Knife
• T-fal Ingenio Tripod Strainer
• Good Cook Poly Cutting Board

I've been using each ever since with lots of luck. Some of the highlights of each gadget include the small gouging piece on the side of the edge peeler which helps pop out potato eyes. My favorite, no surprise, is the hand powered rapid chopper. I made a fun video highlighting how well it works! I ALWAYS break the small electric choppers so this is the perfect replacement. It quickly prepped nuts for our salad. 

Knives are another gadget I need more of in my kitchen. Surprisingly we've never purchased a nice set and only have a mis match of non sharp knives. The 6" Zen utility knife has been great for prepping lunches for the kids. I chop veggies and fruit in no time and the cutting board has made for easy cleanup. 

If you thought T-fal was just pans you're going to be surprised! Check out their entire Ingenio line and more online at http://www.t-falusa.com/

 

Our Bright Starts League of Little Laughers Party

This Holiday season I was incredibly lucky to be chosen to host a Bright Starts League of Little Laughers in home party! As soon as I ran to Facebook with the excitement I had friends asking "what's that?" Bright Starts is a company dedicated to providing both fun and engaging products for your little ones including toys,  play gyms, and entertainers. Even if you're not sure that you've noticed them in the toy aisle chances are you already own a few toys at home. As I started looking, I found plenty already in our playroom!!

For the playdate we received the Learn & Giggle Activity Station, Spin & Giggle Puppy, Learn & Giggle Fish, a tiger Giggable pet, and a ball refill pack!

You can see two of our Bright Starts toys from season past in the background here!

Enough with the pictures mom, I'm playing here!

Our party guests included a few new movers, crawlers, walkers, toddlers, and a preschooler or two. Don't let him know I told you but even 6 year old Nolan has been playing with his brother's new toys!!

Oliver did the first test run and got to explore the toys both in and out of the package. He's instantly drawn to the stand up activity table (Learn & Giggle Station) which allows him to play and explore without fully standing. He's just now pulling himself up onto his knees from a crawl and this was amazing to see a toy made just for that!

Bright Starts and their Kids II family of products can be found in retailers everywhere including Walmart, Target, Kmart, Meijer, Babies R Us, Toys R Us, and online with Amazon. Great for gifts for the children in your life! #LOLL
