Rewordable {Review}

So I live in a house of Scrabble lovers.  Serious Scrabble lovers.  Sunday afternoons you can find my husband and my 9 nine year old daughter battling it out in an intense game of Scrabble.  Me?  I'm napping.  :-)  But I knew this game would thrill my two Scrabble lovers to no end.  What I didn't realize was how much I would enjoy it myself.

One evening after dinner, we decided to give it a shot.  Players work with the letter cards in their hands, but they can also use letter cards in a pool.  And not only can you gain points by building words, but you can steal other player's words and earn tokens by completing certain tasks.  This keeps the game going as I wasn't only looking at my cards, but all the words already laid out as well as the pool.  Plus since cards are rated differently, I was trying to build the best word with what I had as well as earn a token.

The game is rated for ages 8 years and up, but provided quite a challenge for both my husband and I. We tend to look for games that we can play as a family, and although we all enjoyed it, I do think it would be better suited for a slightly older age range.  Still we really loved the game and it's quickly become a favorite.  I was surprised by how much fun it was.  I might have to start crashing their Sunday afternoon word games.

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this game for review.  All opinions are my own.

Draw 50 Sea Creatures {Review}

Part of the Draw 50 series developed by Lee J. Ames (of Walt Disney Studios and School of Visual Arts in NYC), Draw 50 Sea Creatures provides step by step directions for creating a variety of sea life.  The book is broken into several sections including fish, shells, sharks, etc.  Each creature is drawn using from 4-8 illustrations with the final step including the most detail and shading.  The drawings are easy to follow although some seem like they could have used additional steps near the end.  However, the examples are easy to follow and each creature is interesting and fun to learn.

When I saw this title for review, I knew my kids would love it.  We're all the creative types and it's been a lot of fun to explore this book together.  Since we've just returned from our own beach adventure, the kids have been excited to dive into this one.  The drawings were challenging for my 5 year old, but both the 9 and 11 year olds really enjoyed learning from this book.  Two tips that we discovered were to look over all the steps before beginning and to draw lightly.  Looking over each project before starting really helped our final result.

All in all I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to draw from ages 10 years and up.  It's been a great way to learn and spend time together.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book for review.  All opinions are my own.

Josiah's Swim Lessons {2017}

 Josiah's 3rd year of swim lessons...

Wow!  He really jumped in his swimming abilities this year.  We pushed him ahead in lessons and it was tough.  But with only one other boy in class, he really had a chance to accell.

One Second Every Day {July 2017}

 One second every day during the month of July... It flew by!  We started the month with a flurry of 4th of July activities: visiting family, fireworks, and a parade!  The rest of the month was filled with swimming, going to the beach, and trying to keep cool!
