Michigan State Jukem Football Review!

Hello Agents!

Remember when I reviewed Jukem Football a couple of years ago - here ?  Well, guess what?!?  They now have a new one called Michigan State Jukem Football!

For those of you that don't know what Jukem is... Jukem is a card game that is great for having fun (especially for football lovers), but also working on your math skills at the same time!  Jukem is made in the USA and is for ages 8+.

Here is the history of Jukem : "Jeff Spelman originally created Jukem Football as a fun way to connect with his own children and help them with their math skills. He had no intentions of doing anything more with it. But after sharing the game with friends and family at gatherings, and much urging and encouragement from them to “do something with this,” he and wife, Michelle, decided to “go for it.”  The game got a colorful makeover – new vibrant images on all the cards and a color coding system made the game more intuitive and visually appealing. Jeff and his team also gave the football game a fun new name: Jukem.  Soon, there were Fumble, Interception, Blitz, Kick Return and Pancake Block cards. The new defensive cards added more fun “gotcha” moments to the game. There was also a quicker way to advance downfield with the addition of Pass “range” cards. And, there was a new special powerful card which carried the new name of the game, Jukem."

There are three different types of cards.  1.  Green Cards - these are your offensive cards.  These can help you advance in score.  2.  Yellow Defensive Cards - these defensive cards help you slow down your opponent.  3.  Red Defensive Cards - these cards can help you by removing your opponents entire current drive!!  

When you visit the Jukem Football Website you can purchase the Original Jukem Football for $12.99 or the Michigan State Jukem Football for $14.99.  If you are interested in tracking/stalking Jukem Football you can Like them on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter to stay up to date with their latest news/updates/etc.

 thoughts and opinions are mine.

Mailpix Has Great Gift Items! Review/Giveaway

Hello Agents,

We have been pretty busy.  We just arrived home from our trip to Chicago for ChiTAG (more about that in another post), and we have been un-packing, and getting ready for Thanksgiving.  We are having Thanksgiving with some friends this year.

I was given a GC to spend on Mailpix.  I started looking at the different options, and then decided what I wanted the most.  Shipping was very quick (within 9 business days).  Here is my box of goodies!

They had a sale going on where their mugs were only $5 a piece.  I chose seven of those (one of each member of my family except my Mom, who doesn't use mugs).  I used the pictures from a family play we recently did.

Don;t they look great?!?  I think they do.  Everyone in my family except for my mom and I are big coffee drinkers (we like tea) so these will make great gifts for them.

I also chose a keychain for my mom.  She likes to have one keychain from each attraction that we visit, but somehow missed one at the Dallas Zoo.  She loved the Koala Bear at the Zoo so I took the picture of the Koala and added Dallas Zoo and the date.

She will love it!  I think it turned out really well.  It feels very sturdy, and it looks really nice with the silver border.  

Next they had a special going on where you would get a free Brag Book (photo book), so I created one of those as well.  

It came out really well.  I did some pictures of our dogs, pictures from our play, and just some of the family!

It printed really well (sorry about the glare - this was the best that I could get).

Next I designed a set of coasters.  Six come with the set, and you can either use one picture for all six coasters, or you can use a different picture for each coaster. 

 These came out really nice.  The only problem is that with the shape of the coasters it cropped out part of the writing on our play.

I had a couple of dollars left so I had some prints made (the first 100 were free for setting up an account and then the other 200 were a penny a print :).  I have always liked having physical prints for our frames, etc. and now we have plenty. :)

The last thing I chose is a Tote Bag with a front pocket.  I made a collage of my two dogs (Shadow - my Schipperke, and Princess Pansy - my Sheltie) and uploaded that picture to use on my tote bag.  

I think it turned out wonderful.  I love being able to carry around pictures of my dogs and show them off! :)

Mailpix is a great customized/photo company with very reasonable prices!  I was amazed with how low their prices were (yet their items are high-quality!).  They are also constantly running sales.  Make sure you go check them out!  Everyone loves to receive customized photo products - it makes gifts even more special!

Mailpix is going to send one of my Agents a 8x10 Canvas (their most popular)!  Wow!  Think what a gift that would make?!?

Hanah's Bandanas! Review/Giveaway

Hello Agents!

Princess Pansy is having a great time investigating all of these items.  She is having a lot of fun!  Next product in our Preparing for Pansy Event is... HANAH'S BANDANAS!


We were sent two Thanksgiving-themed Bandanas for Princess Pansy.  They look GREAT on her!

The first one has different colored Turkeys on it.  Really cute!  It looks really nice on her, and she didn't mind wearing them at all!

Here is a little bit about Hanah's Bandana's... "Hanahs Bandanas is proud to offer a Bandana of the Month Club. Receive a new bandana each month delivered to your doorstep. Choose from a female or male color scheme. Actual bandana received may be different than example shown depending on fabric availability. If you have multiple pets and need a bandana in each color scheme or different sizes, we can accommodate that! Simply order the number of bandanas you want in the largest size you need. Then submit instructions upon checkout letting us know what changes you need. For Example: If you have a male and female dog you can order two bandanas a month and get one for each pet. If you have a cat and a dog you can order two bandanas and get an extra small size for the cat and another size to fit the dog."

Here she is!  Princess Pansy with her Turkey Bandana...

See how nice it looks!  My little sister thought this was a really neat print.  She loved it!

The other one I received had red, brown, and gold leaves on it.  This is my personal favorite (I love fall!).

We were raking up the leaves in the front yard the other day, and brought Pansy out with us.  She had a lot of fun!  She was chasing the rake and then biting the leaves off of the end of the rake.  It was so funny!

Here she is wearing her bandana that has leaves on it.  These are really cute, and would look really nice on any dog.  

A close-up.  The bandana is really easy to use. You just slip your dog's collar through the bandana - no more losing your dog's bandana, or you having to re-tie it!

5 of my Agents will each receive one Holiday-themed Dog Bandana from Hanah's Bandana's (winner's choice of size/gender)!

Luv & Emma! Review/Giveaway

Hello Agents!



How is everyone?  We are all doing great (Princess Pansy included)! It has been getting pretty chilly here recently.   It has even frozen the water in the dogs water buckets!

I received a Luv & Emma♥s Dry Pets Super Absorbent Microfiber Towel.  This is a really neat product and something that every dog owner should have.  It works really well!

We bathed Pansy in the bathtub the other day (it is too cold outside now!:) and we pulled out our new Dry Pets Towel!  This worked really well.  The only thing we noticed is that by the time we were done drying off one dog, the towel was soaked.  But, it looks like that will be fixed!  Coming out later this month is a Larger size Dry Pets Towel with a slit on each end to hang on ANY door handle!

It was really convenient to be able to hang the towel on the door knob and just grab it once we were done and needed it!  It also looks really nice - the brown/tan colors with the paw prints.  So cute.  Instead of just using a bath towel/old hand towel purchase a Dry Pets Towel!

Princess Pansy LOVES her Luv & Emma♥s Dry Pets Super Absorbent Microfiber Towel!

One of my Agents will receive their own Luv & Emma♥s Dry Pets Super Absorbent Microfiber Towel!  WOW!

E-Beanstalk Review

I was at friend's house when she pulled out a really nice bead set for her daughter. It was a tube and had different colored beads and a couple pretty wood charms. I asked her where she bought it...

E-BEANSTALK!!!

I was sent a Lollipop Bead Tube” for an 11 year old. My sister loved this!

Here are pictures...

(My sister and the tube of beads)


(We put the beads in a bowl)


(See the charms you can add?!)


(Look at my new necklace!!)


(Isn't it pretty!?!?)

About E-Beanstalk :
"

Our corporate philosophy is simple, we only have 3 rules:

RULE NUMBER 1: Make the kids happy. We do this by:

• Selecting the best toys, books & games to help children grow and learn
• Matching the toys to the child's stage of development

RULE NUMBER 2: Make the parents, grandparents, friends and relatives happy. We do this by:

• Making the kids happy
• Offering the best shopping experience, through a world-class online experience
• Always answer the phone when customers call

RULE NUMBER 3: Have fun at what we do

We make it easy to give great educational learning toys

eBeanstalk is dedicated to providing the learning toys and educational toys that promote a child's development...and we go far beyond just toys. Our mission at eBeanstalk is to "plant the seeds that help children grow" while making gift-giving easy and special.

eBeanstalk is a place where you can give expert selected newborn toys, baby toys, toddler toys and toys for a preschooler. All of our learning toys are packaged into a GIFT SERIES, where every three months a new gift arrives that is perfectly suited the appropriate stage of a child’s development.

How did we do it?

The Teams:

We have 2 teams of experts – A group of Child Specialists (Child Psychologist, Speech Pathologist, Child Physical Therapist, pediatric occupational therapist and a Special Educator) and a group of over 700 moms (affectionately called our Mother Board).

The Toys:

We looked at over 10,000 developmental toys (yes, 10,000) from well-known manufacturers around the world and narrowed the list down to the 600 best learning toys. Each toy on eBeanstalk is carefully selected, tested and approved and comes with the eBeanstalk Seal of Approval.

The Stages of Child Development:

Our Child Specialists identified the stages of development children grow through. They matched 7 core skills (called Head-to-Toe) - Imagination, Education, Language, Dexterity, Locomotion, Emotion and Social – with the stages of a child’s development to provide a simple, focused explanation of each stage.

Matching the Toys with the Stages of Development:

We carefully matched each learning toy with the appropriate stage of development. No more “for a child 2 and up”. Our toys are matched to 3 month incremental stages.

The Gift Series:

Each Gift Series consists of 4 expert selected educational toys. Then 4 times a year a new toy is delivered to your special child when they need it. Think of it like the “Developmental Toy of the Quarter Club.”

Instruction cards:

Our team of child experts wrote custom instruction cards that provide a description of the toy, explain why we chose each toy and offers great Graduated Play ideas...our instruction cards will ensure your child and you will get the most out of each toy. Toys are for learning, and learning is complicated. Our cards make it easy

The White Box:

Many times the box is more fun than the toy. That is why we made the eBeanstalk box white...so you can make it into a fort, paint a jungle scene or turn the box into your own custom car.

We hope you enjoy what eBeanstalk can do you for you and for the special children in your life."

This set was really nice. There are holes on one end of the beads and the other end there is a little stick. You stick them together and they stay! I thought they would fall apart very easily but they do not! My little sister loves her new set.

Have you ever needed to find perfect baby gifts, but weren't quite sure where to look? Search no further. All you have to do is head on over to ebeanstalk and search for toys by age! Ebeanstalk is a website that provides toys for babies and kids of all ages. Child experts hand select only the best learning toys, so not only is it easy to find age appropriate toys, but you can be reassured that they are great for a baby's development too!
