My boys have a fascination with heroes, which is part of the reason they both loved the How To Train Your Dragon movies. Hiccup’s transformation from a misfit to a hero always left Zackary and Benjamin excited, and of course dragons make the movie even more entertaining.

But now, my boys get to enjoy the adventures of Hiccup and his friends in a whole new way with the release of the Netflix original series Dragons: Race to the Edge! After the arrival of a fun box featuring snacks and some merchandise from the show, all three of us were ready to check out the new series. And we weren’t disappointed! [Read more…]

Race into Summer with the New Ford Mustang by OPI Collection

July 2, 2014 by Kathryn 42 Comments

I’ve always been a fan of Ford vehicles, but it wasn’t until I started car shopping recently that I realized just how much of a Ford woman I really am. After weeks of hunting for the perfect vehicle, I decided on a 2006 Ford Taurus. This car is roomy enough to be a great choice for a family, has lots of power and is surprisingly fuel efficient. In fact, we used to have a 1998 Ford Taurus that I adored, so I am very happy to have one in the driveway again!

But as much as I love this sensible family car I have to admit that, like any true Ford Lover, I dream of hopping behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang! And with the car celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year, OPI has joined in the fun by partnering with Ford to offer the Ford Mustang by OPI collection! [Read more…]

If you have kids that love Angry Birds in your house, you’re probably already familiar with the huge collection of Angry Birds toys, games and merchandise available. But now, birds and pigs are facing off in a whole new way with Angry Birds GO! Telepods! These fun new sets feature race tracks and karts that power through obstacles in a mission to beat the pigs once and for all. Even better, the sets include a Telepods base that lets you teleport your kart into the new Angry Birds GO! App for even more fun!

I received the Angry Birds GO! Telepods Pig Rock Raceway set to review and I knew my oldest son, a huge fan of both Angry Birds and racing, would absolutely love it. The set contains two karts featuring favourite Angry Birds characters, a track, three pig heads and the Telepods base. We set up the track and got racing!
