This Fortnite video game craze is all around and there’s no signs of the popularity stopping anytime soon! In fact, over 125 million people play the game around the world. Not only is my oldest hooked, but my littles know all about it, despite never having played. Yet. It goes without saying, Fortnite is hot…
Who says games are just for kids? With the cooler weather and the busy schedule comes a need to relax at home more often. During the summer months we’d be found entertaining on the deck, yet in the winter – we’re indoors. Why not unwind with your adult friends and family after the little ones have been…
A few days ago my daughter and I were invited to attend a very special event. Not only were we going to watch the Big Ticket Summer concert in Edmonton, yet we played a game of UNO with the headliner of the show, Cody Simpson! “The partnership with Cody is a fantastic platform to bring…
If you mention the name ‘Cody Simpson‘ to any tween and you’re sure to be hit with squeals, chatter and a lot of excitement. That’s my oldest daughters reaction too. She is such a Cody Simpson fan-girl, and when Isabelle and her friends get together – watch out. Listening in on the conversations that include ‘so…
When a Sphero 2.0 arrived at my door for review, my kids were both so very curious and incredibly excited at the same time. In fact, I can’t remember the last time they were truly ‘in awe’ with a tech item. You know how kids seem to be more ‘in the know’ when it comes…
I recall one Christmas long ago, someone got a Bop It! game as a gift. It was the most popular item, passed around from person to person all day long. Now that’s a game that can entertain! Game gift idea? BOP IT! SMASH Game! Are your reflexes faster than the speed of light? New BOP…
Have you seen the Gator Golf Game for Preschoolers? I cannot wait until my girls ‘get’ board games. The ones they’ve had up until now, the pieces are either lost or end up being used for other purposes. I either find memory cards in all corners of the house, or little ‘men’ pieces tucked…

Just released a couple days ago by Ubisoft, Just Dance 4 is sure to make anyone get their groove on. One thing I was grateful for when this arrived at my door – all the songs are really good! So, when the kids need to shake their sillies out and hit the basement, the songs…
Last year, with the huge welcome of Magnum Ice Cream into Canada, there was also a fun and engaging Pleasure Hunt online game. This free game was really cool, the graphics were like none I’d seen online. This year Magnum has released Pleasure Hunt 2 that takes the action even further. The Magnum diva…
BunkiMunki is a new Website and online world, developed for Tweens ages 7-15. I had a chance to check it this site with my daughter and see what it has to offer. Since she is able to navigate online very well and shows great interest in such sites, I wanted to see what she thought of…
With the huge amounts of ‘girly girl’ games that we have in our house, we jumped at the chance to review BEN 10 Galactic Racing for Nintendo Wii and DS. While it’s true that my kids love their character-play and dress-up-and-shop games which are geared toward girls – when it comes to games that the…
I don’t think Monopoly is a board game that needs a formal introduction, it’s been around since 1934 {!!}. Millions have shaken the hands dice of this iconic and much-loved game that most likely started the craze of ‘family game night’. I recall back in the BC {before child} days, hubby and I would play Monopoly…
It’s not very often that I feature a Wii game for Him, yet we all know that the men in our lives love a little gaming action too, right? And what better game to join my 2011 Holiday Gift Guide than NASCAR Unleashed for Wii! Both hubby and I loved being able to review this…
“I seen that on TV, Mom!” is what my oldest daughter yelled when I pulled out Battleship Live, a new Hasbro board game that we were sent for review. It’s true, most people will recognize ‘Battleship’, yet the new LIVE version takes the fun to a whole new level. This new game comes with sensors…
My family recently got a fun package from our friends at Electronic Arts, a travel cooler filled with candy and family-friendly EA Wii Games! Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to snuggle in from the cold and spend time with the family this winter? Here are a few of our favorite titles from the…
I discovered e-readers this year, and am pretty impressed if I must say. And, loving all ‘Mommy’s toys’, my daughters are so curious about my new gadget and want to play with it all the time. My oldest, having a newfound love for reading, constantly asks if she can use it. But, alas, some things…
What can I say, I’m an 80’s girl! The Smurfs were one of my favorite cartoons growing up. And, I’m happy that even though they aren”t ‘the originals’ {*sigh*}, my girls love those adorable blue Smurfs too. My family was given The Smurfs Dance Party Wii Game for review and all of us were all…
