The TODO Game is an award-winning game that promotes meaningful conversation

Turn off the TV and video games and grab a game the entire family can get into. From entertaining toddlers to bonding with the teens, the ToDo Game is an award-winning Australian activity cards that promote meaningful conversations and the best part is that there are no winners or losers. Let your TODO card guide the game play.

Choose from babies, couples, toddler and family edition. Each box has 30 activity cards. Read and do that activity and that is it! Each activity lasts from 20 minutes to an hour, so you can choose the best time of day that works to get together as a family. Older kids can help younger kids with their cards and parents, friends and teens can bond over the family edition.

For example, our first toddler card I pulled had an activity called, The Great Outdoors. It asked us to take a walk in a nearby garden or park and collect various items. We were to collect 12 items in total and come home and use large paper and glue to create a live collage with our items. The advance option had us pasting and labeling items. This can easily be done for the younger kids with the older kids or parents help. Shop the TODO card games online and start connecting as a family!

You’re Stronger Than You Know Sweater from Taylor Jay

August 2, 2022August 1, 2022 Erin Sluka

Designed for women of all sizes and shapes, the apparel of Taylor Jay is comfortable and ever changing as we move through life. Oakland, Ca. designer Taylor Jay wanted to create styles for every women-every one of us! We want comfort, style and to be able to afford sustainable fabrics and modern designs. From this You’re Stronger Than You Know sweater to jumpsuits and dresses, you will feel good in every piece.

I LOVE this sweater. ‘You’re Stronger Than You Know’ turns a lot of heads. I think everyone can relate to this or at least be reminded. It is so soft and a simple writing on the front allows me to dress it up or keep it simple. By adding a touch of gold and rolling sleeves, I can dress warm and comfortably but feel like I styled myself for the day.

During the pandemic, it was tough for them to stay open so they started making and selling fashion masks. For each mask sold, they donated one to an essential worker. They mean well and actually do good and I am happy to feature Taylor Jay. Shop their fashion online or in store (Oakland, Ca).

MyBevi Napa vacuum insulated, premium stainless steel tumbler

August 1, 2022July 30, 2022 Erin Sluka

If you enjoy the outdoors – camping, friends around the backyard fire pit, a day at the lake – MyBevi Napa tumblers will be your new best friend. Whether you need to keep a cold drink cold or a hot drink hot, this stainless steel tumbler is vacuum insulated 18/8-304, .5 mm thick superior grade stainless steel outer and inner wall keeps drinks hot or cold for hours.

I love the deign for a comfortable grip and the colors. You can choose from pink, turquoise, black or white. There is a copper coating on the outside of the inner lining to make this tumbler effective in having your cold drink as refreshing later as it is now (or your hot drink). It does come with a splash resistant lid that would fit a straw so bugs stay out of your drink!

We leave our MyBevi Napa Tumblers in the RV and they are our camping cups. We camp in very hot spots and having these tumblers on hand means we can make ourselves a cold beverage and enjoy it for a long while. They look as classy as they feel. Shop MyBevi tumblers and other tumblers on their website and on Amazon. They are a must-have for all seasons!
