Fortnite AR-L Nerf Elite Dart Blaster Review #HolidayGiftGuide


The holidays are seriously creeping up and I don't know about you, but I am nowhere near done shopping for my family and friends. Each year my kids make a list. We have them write down their top 10 gifts they would like and we get them some of those items listed and we share the rest with family members as well. One thing my son still has on his list is any and everything Fortnite.

I don't know about your kids, but my twelve year old son is still obsessed with the game. Although there was a small down period he had where he didn't play the game for about a month, after the latest release of an updated patch came out, him and his friends have been playing non stop. So I knew that he would have some Fortnite items listed on his Christmas wishlist.


Lucky for him he received a gift early from our friends over at Hasbro. They sent him the Fortnite AR-L Nerf Elite Dart Blaster. Two of his favorite things combined into one, Fortnite and Nerf! I have to admit this blaster is pretty cool. He's had it for a few weeks now and even with it being pretty cold outside, when him and his friends get a chance, they're outside playing with tag with his new Fortnite AR-L Nerf Elite Dart Blaster.

Aimed for kids eight and older, the Nerf Fortnite AR-L blaster is inspired by the blaster used in Fortnite, replicating the look and colors of the one from the popular video game! Your child can play Fortnite in real life with this Nerf Elite blaster that features motorized dart blasting. Power up the motor with the acceleration button and pull the trigger to shoot 1 dart. 

It comes with a 10-dart clip and 20 Official Nerf Fortnite Elite darts, enough to fully load the clip and give you 10 backup darts for reloading. Flip up the 2 sights on the top of the blaster to align your shot. 

Official Nerf Darts are designed for distance, tested and approved for performance and quality, and constructed of foam with flexible, hollow tips. Drop into indoor and outdoor Fortnite action with this motorized, dart-firing Nerf Elite Fortnite blaster!

Not only does Hasbro have this Fortnite AR-L blaster available, but they have an entire line of Fortnite Nerf blasters available for your child and their friends to go around and play some Fortnite in real life. How awesome is that? 

The Fortnite AR-L blaster retails for $69.99. For more information about this and other Fornite and Nerf guns, be sure to head over to Hasbro's website to find out how you can get one online or where to find one locally.

Cutetitos Series 2 & Cutetito Babitos Review & Giveaway #HolidayGiftGuide



My kids absolutely love to collect stuffed animals. From my oldest being fourteen, to my youngest, five, it's safe to say that stuffed animals are still loved in this house and I don't blame them. I remember collecting stuffed animals way into my late teens, like up until 18 years old. My dad would buy my sisters and I a stuffed bear every Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas, so we had lots of themed stuffies growing up and I guess my kids are the same way.

So I knew that my five year old would absolutely love what we were sent, Cutetitos and Cutetitos Babitos. With the current trend of pets rolled up in blankets like burritos, Cutetitos are adorable collectible stuffed animals wrapped and hidden in burrito blankets that kids can unroll and discover!

Bailey was very excited to unwrap both her new stuffies as we were sent both a Cutetito from their Series 2 collection and a Cutetito Babito.



The Cutetitos have twelve new characters rolling out for their Series 2 edition. Each Cutetito comes with its own burrito blanket, personality “Hot Spot” (mild,medium, hot or super spicy), and Pet Collector card with the pet’s name, species and birthday. Bailey received a Donkito named Floppito and she absolutely loves him. His hot spot is HOT and he's the cutest little Donkito ever. She loved that it was purple because it's mommy's favorite colour and she also loved how it was wrapped looking like a burrito and how soft he is. She went around the house showing both her older siblings, who are fourteen and twelve, and they thought they were pretty cool too.

Not only did she receive little Floppito, but she also received a Cutetito Babito as well. These new surprise-packed Furry Baby Friends are 3-inch plush animal characters, and just like the Series 2 Cutetitos come with hot spot personalities that come hidden in their very own burrito blanket. Each of the 12 different Babitos characters also come with an adorable gender reveal diaper – will it be a girl or a boy?


Bailey's babito was a cute Catito named Kittito and the hot spot is HOT, like her Donkito and it's pink, her favorite colour and it's also a girl Catito. She absolutely loves both her new stuffies and has added them to her bed along side her other favorite stuffies.



Both the Cutetitos and Babitos would make a great gift for the holiday season coming up for any kids ages three and up. They're not only cute and snuggly, but they aren't bad on pirce either, the Cutetitos retail for $14.99 and the Babitos are $9.99. The Babitos would also make great stocking stuffers as they would fit perfect inside your child's  Christmas stocking.

For more infromation about both the Cutetitoes and Babitos, please head to Basic Fun to find out how to purchase online and where to purchase locally.

I'm excited to be teaming up with Basic Fun to offer one lucky Canadian reader a chance at winning one Cutetito and one Babito, just in time for the holidays. To enter the giveaway head over to Basic Fun and check out both the Cutetitos and Babitos and comment below on which Cutetito and Babito you'd like to win for your little one!

Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit Review #HolidayGiftGuide

My five year old started senior kindergarten this year. Things are different. She's still in a split class with half being junior kindergarten and the other half being in senior kindergarten. She loves that she gets to be one of the bigger kids and help out her new friends as they are getting adjusted to going to school every day. 

One thing that hasn't changed is her love for learning. Every day she comes home from school and ask if she has homework. Since she's in SK, they don't send them home with homework, so I usually get on the computer and find some printable worksheets for her to do once she's home. After she's done her homework she loves getting on her ipad mini and playing a game or two before dinner is ready. 


These last couple of weeks, she's been loving her ipad even more as we were sent the Little Genius Starter Kit from Osmo! Osmo is a line of hands-on educational digital/physical games. The product uses a stand and a clip-on mirror to allow any tablet's front-facing camera to recognize and track objects in front of the device. Using these technologies and AI software embedded within the apps, the device is able to bridge the physical and digital worlds by taking gameplay beyond the screen for kids of varying ages. 



We were sent their Little Genius Starter Kit, which is geared for kids between the ages of 3-5 and gives them a new holistic approach to early learning. The kit comes with everything you need to get started as well as download instructions to get the Osmo app on your tablet. The kit also includes the Osmo Base, four game appls, 38 rings and sticks, 19 costume pieces, 1 play mat and two stackable storage bins that include the pieces for all four games included. This is such a game changer when it comes to learning for your little ones. With the love that everyone has with their electronics now and days, I love that with Osmo, you're not only getting to use your tablet, but also your child is getting to use their imagination as well as hands on creative play. 


After the easy set up that took less than five minutes to download the app, sign up so that I can track my child's progress, she was off to learning in no time. The Little Genius Kit comes with four early leanring games for your child to start off with, ABC's, Costume Party, Squiggle Magic and Stories. 

With the ABC game your little one is able to build letters with the squishy colorful sticks and rings that are included in the kit. It was awesome watching my little one create letters and then have her creation added to her ipad so she could see it both in person and on screen. She loved that. 

Costume Party was a really cool game for her to play as well and for her to use her imagintion. With this game your child can experiment with clothes, hair and color to create different party outfits for the character that's included. This was pretty cool to see beause with each outfit my child put on for the character included, we got to see the character's reaction, which got my little girl really excited. 

Squiggle Magic allows your child to create anything they want using the stiks and rings and then once created and they push the green button to add their creation on screen, your child can see their creation come alive. This was one of Bailey's favorite games to play. It got her creative juices flowing and she was creating all kinds of things.

Stories allowed you to mix and match costumes to find silly solutions for obstacles and navigate adventures. I loved seeing Bailey play with this game and seeing her imagination shine as she figured out how to navigate the adventure on screen. 


Not only are there these four games that come included with the Osmo app, but there are also tons of other games for you to download for your child to enjoy. We were also sent the Super Studio Disney Princess Kit that included super sketchpad, sper studio marker, super sweeper ad super studio game app. This allowed for Bailey to help some of her favorite princesses, Belle, Rapunzel and Cinderella. There are many different Disney themed packs that you can purchase separately to make your child's experience with their Osmo even more fun, like, Mickey Mouse and Friends as well as Incredibles 2. 


What I've loved most about Bailey using the Osmo is that it's giving her healthy screen time as she's spending less time watching Youtube videos and more time with a hands on learning experience that's not only allowing her to get creative and use her imagination, but she's also learning so much from it.

This would be a great gift to give any little one in your life with the holidays being around the corner. Not only would this be a great gift for your child, but it would also make a great teacher's gift as well so that your little one and their classmates can all use this kit to help learn while they're in school. The Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit retails for $79 and if you check their site right now, it's on sale for even cheaper. 

As much as my daughter loves to be on her ipad to play games, I have to say, she has never been this excited when getting on her ipad. She has come home every single day after school asking to play with her Little Genuis kit. For more information about the Little Genius kit and other kits from Osmo, be sure to check them out online.

Roku Express Review #HolidayGiftGuide


With so many different streaming devices being available to you, it's hard to pick the right one. We have five TV's in our home, our smart TV in the living room and each kid and the hubby and I all have a TV in our bedroom. Now that we don't have cable anymore, finding a streaming device that is not only affordable, but also one that is compatible with our TV's and gives a variety of options of apps and/or channels they offer, is something that I look for as my kids love to not only watch Netflix in their rooms before bed every night, but on the weekends they love to put on their favorite Youtuber and watch Youtube videos.

Roku has come out with their new and updated fast, high definition streaming device, Roku Express, and it is pretty cool. Over the years Roku has made a great name for themselves. We actually have been fans of theirs for a while having two of their older devices that we still use in our home. One in my five year old's room and the other we just recently gave to my in laws to enjoy after we received the Roku Express.


The Roku Express is 10% smaller than its predecessor, it's sleek and designed to blend in and disappear when connected to a TV. It can be fully powered by most TVs to reduce clutter around the TV. With the Roku Express you can enjoy easy and smooth HD streaming.

The Roku Express is easy to set up and included in the box is a simple remote control included with popular streaming channel shortcut buttons for Netflix, Roku Channel, Disney Plus, Google Play and CBS All Access, this comes in handy, especially for younger kids who want to be independent and for the older adults who aren't too familiar with streaming devices. Having those buttons on the remote make it easier for streaming your favorite channels. Also included is a High Speed HDMI and a power cord.
All you need to do once you set up the device is connect to your internet and login or signup for a free Roku account and you can start streaming free live TV from their Roku channel as well as download thousands of other channels to enjoy, like, Netflix, Global TV, Google Play, Cineplex, DAZN, hayU, just to name a few.

The Roku Channel launched in Canada in 2018 and has quickly gained popularity. No subscriptions, fees or logins are required to access hundreds of free movies, TV shows and documentaries, with a selection of box office hits and TV shows featured every month to enjoy.

Just recently Roku has teamed up with Apple to bring those of us with Apple accounts both their Apple TV App and their Apple TV+. The Apple TV app customers can enjoy personalized recommendations of shows and movies; subscribe directly to Apple TV channels and more using their Apple ID and password; browse, buy or rent more than 100,000 movies and TV shows; and watch all the shows and movies they have previously purchased from iTunes.

Apple TV+ subscribers can also watch on the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod touch, Mac and other platforms, including the web. For more information about Apple TV+, please visit be sure to visit them online.

I absolutely love that I can now watch some of my movies and shows that I've purchased through my Apple account on my Roku, all that's left to do is maybe get Apple Music on the AppleTV App on Roku and I'd be set. Maybe in the next upgrade, who knows! 

The Roku Express is now available for purchase retailng in Canada for $39.99. Not expensive at all and this would be a great gift for a family or friend this holiday season or even a gift to treat yo' self! It's affordable, easy to set up and the device is small, so it takes up little to no room whereever you have your television set up.

Disney Frozen 2 Fashion Dolls Review #HolidayGiftGuide




With the excitement for the sequel of Disney's hit movie, Frozen, coming to theatres this Friday, my five year old daughter, Bailey, was so excited when she received both Elsa and Anna, the new fashion dolls inspired by the movie Frozen 2.

We are big fans of the first movie and we already have our tickets purchased to go see the second movie and now that she has both of her new dolls, I'm pretty sure Elsa and Anna will be joining us when we go to watch it.



With both Frozen 2 Fashion Dolls, kids can recreate scenes from Disney's Frozen 2 with these classic dolls, complete with removable outfits inspired by the movie. Kids can move these toys into different poses to play out scenes from the film or imagine their own with each doll's 5 points of articulation. Both dolls are beautifully made with each one wearing the new outfit they wear in the upcoming movie. I love that they aren't flimsy or easy to break, especially with a five year old playing with them. The fashion dolls are both great quality.

Since we received these dolls before Frozen 2 came out, I watched as Bailey recreated scenes from the first movie and she also just loved when I put the Frozen soundtrack on and she pretended both dolls were singing. It was such a beautiful moment to watch. I love how excited she is for the sequel, I'm just as excited to watch it, as is my hubby and two older teens. 

Which character are you excited to see back on the screen? I'm excited to see all of them for different reasons, I'm hoping to see how Elsa is handling her powers as well as seeing the blossom relationship between Anna and Kristoff and of course I can't wait to see what Olaf and Sven have been up to.

With the release of Frozen 2 coming this week, your child can collect the Disney Frozen dolls and playsets to recreate familiar scenes with characters like Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf who kids know and love. Retailed at $19.99, the fashion doll characters available are Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Matthias, each sold separately. These dolls would be perfect to give a Frozen fan you know, especially with the holidays being around the corner. 

For more information about Disney Frozen 2 Fashion Dolls, be sure to head to Hasbro to find out where you can purchase your own locally.

Klutz Jr.: My Dino Finger Puppets Review #HolidayGiftGuide


I'm always looking for new activities for my six year old and I to do together since we're together the majority of the time due to my husband being a truck driver. So I was pretty excited when we were sent over a new craft kit from our friends over at Klutz! 


We had a chance to review the Klutz Jr, “My Dino Finger Puppets” craft kit. The kit allows kids to magically transform air-dry clay into playable, portable, prehistoric pets, like, a t-rex, pterodactyl, and triceratops. The kit also comes with three different colors of the air-dry clay (blue, green and orange), tons of stickers, eyes, and paper accessories, each dinosaur can be as unique as the kid making them. You can also create a dino park for your puppet to hang-out in and learn real dino facts in the 32-page instruction book.

My son decided that we would try to make/mold the T-Rex. We followed the instructions book and the steps provided were wonderful and very easy to follow and the size sheet was neat also. There's also enough clay provided so that you can create all three dinosaurs.



My son was very engaged and loved the accessories that were provided in the kit. The air-dry clay provided to create the dino puppets is very soft and a bit sticky, but comes off easily if you're worried about it being stuck to any furniture in your home. Once dry you can let your child's imagination run wild with their dino finger puppets. This was such a cool kit to receive. It not only kept my son busy, but it also allowed him the freedom to create different dinosaurs as well as allow him to use his imagination to create his own unique dinosaur finger puppet. 


For more informationa about the Klutz Jr. My Dino Finger Puppets kit, be sure to head to their website to find out how to purchase online or what local store this can be purcahsed at.
