Being stuck indoors so much this year has meant that I’m scrambling a bit for ways to keep my boys active. And now that cold weather has arrived, I’m struggling even more!
Of course, I also want my boys to be having fun as they’re moving. So when Armogear, makers of our favourite laser tag set, gave me the chance to review its new Boxing Battle set, I knew I’d found the perfect way to help get them exercising while having a blast!
For the last two holiday season, I’ve raved about Shinesty matching holiday outfits. I swooned over their matching holiday suits. I fell in love with their matching family pajamas.
But this year, when the company asked me if I’d like to review some of its newest styles, I took a different approach. My boys love their holiday clothes, but why should they fit in when they were born to stand out!
One of the hardest things about shopping for my boys in their tween and teen years is finding gifts that they’ll actually use that don’t involve sitting in front of the television. They both love their video games, but I don’t want games to be the only gifts they receive!
Luckily, this year I’ve found the perfect gift that the entire family will be able to enjoy! The ArmoGear Laser Battle System is a complete laser tag set that contains four guns, four target vests and tons of fun features for the most epic laser tag battles ever…right at home!
With kids in the house, the excitement over the holiday season is palple. It’s in every glass of eggnog you sip, gingerbread man you ice, and classic Christmas movie you watch together. Every kid waiting for Santa is bubbling with anticipation, and it’s building with each turn of the advent calendar.
(That small piece of chocolate to start the day only adds fuel to the fire!)
Their excitement is contagious, and the big day always arrives faster than you thought possible. In addition to doing all the fun stuff with your kids, you have presents to buy! Between your own children, nieces and nephews, cousins, godchildren, and your friends’ kids, you don’t always have time to brainstorm the perfect present for everyone on your list or waste time window-shopping during peak holiday hours.
Good thing we’ve got you covered. Here’s a shopping list of gamer-approved presents that will satisfy every kid on your list, so that when December rolls around, you’ll be ready.
PlayStation has a huge catalogue of games that runs the gamut of genres. Few will be as tame as the games you remember playing in your youth, even if you preferred fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter at the arcade. Thanks to improved processors and graphics, many of the top PS4 games portray violence, gore, and disturbing content in stunning clarity. [Read more…]
Every year when Christmas rolls around, my boys make a long wish list of all the gifts they’re hoping to find under the tree. And every year, there are fun-filled toys from Hasbro on that list! Hasbro has so many brands that my active boys love and if you’re on the hunt for the best Christmas gifts for your little men this year, these are my top toy choices!
This battery-powered blaster is sure to provide hours of fun both indoors and out. My boys love the challenge of hitting a target with the bouncy NERF darts, so I’ll often set up a paper target outdoors and let them blast away to their heart’s content. This blaster is especially fun since it doesn’t use hand pumping to build air pressure. The blaster features a rotating drum that holds 24 NERF darts and motorized blasting action. When cold weather has my boys wanting to stay indoors, bundling them up, snapping on some safety goggles and pulling out these blasters is a sure-fire way to ensure they’ll get fresh air and exercise!
