Simple American Style, Classic Personalized Step Stool Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Simple American Style

I found the cutest step stool at SimpleAmericanStyle.com.  It was just like one I had as a child.  I ordered one for my son Luke.  I was happy to see the great quality and craftsmanship was the same as the stool of my youth and my son loved it.  He can sit on it like a chair or flip the back over to make a 2 step, step stool to help him reach the sink.  It looks in the kitchen, family room or his bedroom.  It is a classic piece that he can pass down to his kids someday.

Mommy Ramblings loves this classic step stool so much we are adding it to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!!!  The step stool and loads of other great gifts for everyone on your holiday gift list can be purchased at SimpleAmericanStyle.com.

Wonder Forge,Richard Scarry’s Busytown Eye Found It! Game Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

wonder-forge-logo
Thanksgiving weekend we had a lot of great family time.  It was much-needed and greatly enjoyed.  We took a lot of time to play and just sit and talk.  My husband and I played Richard Scarry’s Busytown Eye Found It! Game with our little guys.
It’s a great game that has a huge board that connects in three pieces.  The game is very interactive and keeps little ones engaged.  In the game you need to get everyone on the ferry and to the picnic before the pigs eat all the food. Along the way you solve mysteries and race through Busytown.  We all enjoyed searching for the objects to find as many as we could before the timer ran out.
Mommy Ramblings things Richard Scarry’s Busytown Eye Found It!  is a great game and we are adding it to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide!!!  You can buy Busytown Eye Found It!  at Amazon.com.
Richard Scarry's Busytown Eye Found It! Game
Richard Scarry's Busytown Game

Race around town solving mysteries! How many objects can you find? Join Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm on a fun-filled race around Busytown to solve mysteries and find hidden objects. Drive through lively city streets, an activity-filled farm, an action-packed airport, and a bustling harbor full of silly boats. There’s much to discover on this gigantic, colorful game board that’s over six feet long! As players race through Busytown, they’ll team up every time someone lands on Goldbug—leaving no corner of the board unexplored as they discover hidden objects and race toward Picnic Island. With hundreds of objects to find this game provides hours of fun, while building confidence each time a child says, “I found it!”

How Many Can You Find!?
Pig Will and Pig Won’t are on a mission to eat all the food on Picnic Island! Using the illustrated, over six-foot long game board, you’ll work as a team to make it to Picnic Island before they eat the food! Work together with other players to find hidden objects like buckets, traffic lights, flags, or ladders! Everyone gets a chance to say, “I Found It!”—the faster you find the hidden objects the faster you’ll move! How to play, snapshot!After setting up the game board, placing the ferry at the end of the road, and the food items on Picnic Island, everyone chooses a mover. On your turn, the spinner will tell you to move, take away one food item from Picnic Island and spin again, or solve a Goldbug Mystery! To solve a Goldbug Mystery you flip a Goldbug Card and work as a team to find the item on that card on the game board. For each item your team finds you get to move forward a space. To win, all players must be on the ferry and arrive at Picnic Island before the pigs eat all the food.

Exclusive Plum has an amazing quality and can be adapted for nearly any space, whether used as an accent or for an entire room. Here are some design ideas for Exclusive Plum:

  • For a cozy, masculine look, they recommend pairing this color with accents of copper and well-worn leather.
  • Exclusive Plum can also be layered with gold, gray and white for an elegant, dreamy space.
  • It’s great highlighted against white subway tile and chrome fixtures for a statement space.
  • Pops of magenta and chartreuse can liven up Exclusive Plum for a more energetic space and when paired with creamy whites or other neutrals, the mellow yet purposeful purple can turn any space into a refreshing retreat.
