Family Fun

…I have shared with you before how much my family enjoys Big Fish Games online... and I have shared a few of their deals (and I know that some of you love them!) so I was really excited to get the heads up from my friends at Big Fish, that for this weekend only, if you are a NEW USER to their site, you can get any game for only $.99cents !! Just use coupon code: welcome99 at checkout! Code and offer expire Nov. 20th.

(Big Fish games are downloads that you put right on to your computer, and the same games are also sold in CD format, so if you want, you can check out some of the Big Fish Games on Amazon to see what a great deal this really is!)

Some of our favorite games include: I Spy Fun House…. so much fun “hunting” for objects, earning tickets to unlock more games … so addictive! We have a blast playing as a family!

Dora Saves the Snow Princess … even my son likes this one, so much more of an adventure than a “chic” game. Zhu Zhu Pets (my kids love to play this one together) …and there are so many more.

They don’t do sales very often, and I have never seen one this low! This code expires Sunday, Nov. 30th…so if you have been thinking about trying this out … this would be a great time! I usually grab a game when they throw out a deal like this because the game is yours to keep forever (and you can even access it on different computers) … and these are such great clean, fun and even educational games! We love this deal because even though I bought the games here at home, when we travel, I can access them on my laptop for the kids to play, and for most of them, you DON’T need the internet to play them once they are on your computer!! I love that they are family friendly games, and educational too … and of course, lots of fun ;)

Just go HERE to check it all out! *Also… you can use this code several times.. When they have sales, I usually let my kids pick out a game so that we have a new one loaded for our next trip ;)

Last month, Kenmore asked for my biggest household challenge …and THIS month, I am sharing my Genius Tip on how I overcame that challenge!! Kenmore is on the search for everyday genius & each month they are giving away $3,000 in Kenmore Gift Certificates!!

My challenge was to create more genuinely fun and true “priceless” moments with my kids.

How did I do this? I created “Mommy Time Out” … a little promise to myself to grab random moments in time and just STOP, and put myself in Time Out … Time Out from everything that I am doing to just have fun! Kind of like STOP.DROP and ROLL… except this is STOP. DROP… and laugh your head off. Have you ever seen the look on a child’s face when you surprise them by saying “yes” instead of “no”? Well… in the past few weeks, I have grown to LOVE that look. I haven’t spent a dime in implementing this new “fun factor” … all I have really spent on this is imagination. I have tried to catch my kids off guard by doing fun little random things that they will hopefully look back on and laugh (ok, and maybe wonder if their mom is a bit crazy?) but most of all .. moments that will make them feel the love that we share as a family. Here are a couple of the things we have done randomly in the last two weeks:

Worm Hunt Expedition: My son and daughter and I went on a “worm” hunting expedition . . . the hunt was a success, and the memories of my kids screaming in delight each time we found an elusive worm … priceless!

Driveway Disco: Ok, for real. When pulling into the driveway one night, a blast from my past song came on the radio and I told my kids … I used to boogie to this song. They both looked at my like I had said a dirty word. “What’s Boogie?” … well.. you can’t explain Boogie… you have to SHOW Boogie, right? Soooooo right then and there … I cranked up the radio, opened all the doors to the car and the three of us danced in the driveway for a good half hour. . . under the stars. AWESOME. (even awesomer… in case you are wondering … is the fact that we live way out in the country so NO neighbors were harmed in this priceless expression of fun)

The Result? Now, obviously I can’t be over the top fun mom all the time (or can I? lol) … but I do want my kids to find joy in the simple things, because truly, no matter what life throws at them, I want them to appreciate the pure joy of being alive, and not depend on material things or expensive events to make them happy. I love putting myself in Mommy Time Out …. it’s a great place to be.

What is your Genius Tip? Kenmore wants to know, and is giving away up to $3,000 in Gift Certificates and a chance to have the best Genius Tip turned into a TV Ad! Visit their Facebook page and enter today!

Share your quick genius tip with us:

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Kenmore. The opinions and text are all mine.

At the End of Our Rainbow…

by Keri Lyn on March 17, 2011

in Family Fun

You might remember this photo that I shared on my facebook page showing the beautiful rainbow that was behind our house last week. Well, being St. Patrick’s Day… the kids were just certain that there was a pot of gold up there somewhere. Last night, my son built an elaborate leprechaun trap and this morning we woke to find that the trap had sprung and that little naughty leprechaun got away with the golden rocks that he had baited the trap with!

So, Daddy came home from work early and we all went searching for treasure… we had such a great time together and you know what? We found it! Right up in those hills behind our house … treasure. The kids were so excited, and even more so when they discovered that the golden rocks that sneaky leprechaun took from our house last night were in his pot of coins!

“We’re rich!”, my son said … excited to count his pennies. I don’t very often feel “rich” … but I do today. Especially after my son told me that the funnest part about finding the treasure was the time we spent searching  for it.

Isn’t that the truth!!?

It’s all about the journey … and what you discover along the way!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everyone!! Blessings!!
