Rainbow Brite CD Giveaways

My grandma used to say that everything runs in a cycle….what used to be fashionable and hip would some day be fashionable and hip again.  I love seeing old toys from my childhood resurrect and come back, and another one is making a comeback this month.  Rainbow Brite is back!:)  Remember her?  I do….I never [...]

Timberdoodle: BrainBox & Hot Rocketz

Mel’s Thoughts:
Timberdoodle, home of all things educational, including homeschool curriculum and educational games and toys, has sent us two more great products to review.  This time they sent us the BrainBox and a Hot Rocket.  Let’s start with the wonderful BrainBox.

Timberdoodle: Police Blockade

Mel’s Thoughts:
My husband and I actually sat down last night to try out a game we had received in the mail yesterday with Timberdoodle, a company that specializes in homeschool supplies, homeschool curriculum, and educational toys.  Only this really wasn’t any ordinary game.  It was Police Blockade,  a single-player game…..which meant we had to take turns.  [...]

Timberdoodle: Bucket of Bubber

Mel’s Thoughts:What is Bubber, you may ask?  Bubber was actually imported from Sweden and is now sold by Timberdoodle.  Bubber is a type of modeling compound that is very lightweight, colorful, and fun to squish around in your hands.  Honestly, it’d be a great stress reliever.  It has an aroma, similar to Playdoh too, that honestly doesn’t smell [...]
