Start each day with A Dad Joke A Day | Book Review

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like all kids go through a joke phases – when they want to tell jokes, even if they don’t quite understand them. I remember having joke books as a kid, reciting them out to my family with various levels of success in the jokes. Kai is the joker in our family, with his Minecraft joke book at the ready, telling us gaming-themed jokes, so when we got a copy of A Day Joke a Day, he was delighted. This book provides 365 dad jokes, one for each and every day of the year! This book is written by DaddiLife – a parenting and lifestyle blogger who seems to know a lot about being a dad and jokes!

Hermitage Rd. Bar and Restaurant | Review

After going out to the Lavender Field, we went to the Hemitage Rd. Bar and Restaurant! This place had some really quite upscale, lovely food and I am so glad Dann picked it out. I look forward to going back, as I really enjoyed the food that much. The boost upscale pizzas, steaks, ribs, burgers and more. We ended up getting two mains, a side to split, and were very full by the end of our meal.

Keeping kids entertained with K’nex

[Ad- gifted product] There is a point when children get to a bit of an odd age – between not quite a kid and not quite a teenager, where it seems like their hobbies and interests are quite narrow. Kai, as an 11 year old, has hit this age – he mainly wants to play video games and… well, that’s about it. He doesn’t have much interest in toys and games, but there are a handful designed for his age range that really fill in the times when he needs a break from the screen. One of these toys are K’nex.

K’nex generally are a type of building toy that is slightly more complex then Lego and allows you to build more than just landscapes – you can build entire toys out of them, as parts bend and shape. Some K’nex kits come with bigger main pieces, that can really change and shape what you are creating. They provide for a lot of versatility, especially in their range for older children. We actually recently went to a fair after playing with our K’nex and one of the stands had created a bunch of moving models with motors in them, all out of K’nex. Clearly, they are a pretty fun toy. We got our hands on two different sets!

My Squishy Little Dumplings – Squishy and Fun | Toy Review

[Ad- gifted product] Just the name – My Squishy Little Dumplings – sounds super fun, so we were all excited to get our hands onto a little dumpling of our own. Robin and Amelia kept saying this was an onion, at first, so we had to completely explain what dumplings are, despite them all trying dumplings before. These toys are little electronic dolls, which work like blind dolls, only showing their dumpling head at first.

Little Cooks Co Baking Box for May

It’s our second month with Little Cooks Co Baking Box, and we were excited to dive right in. There seems to be a dessert theme with this box, which is interesting, as all of these recipes are quite healthy for desserts! This month is really no exception. The main recipe in this box were chocolate caramel bites – but the entire recipe actually contains no sugar. We weren’t really sure how the kids would react to something called caramel that isn’t made with sugar, but they actually really loved it.
