As you probably know (because I say it every time I do a game review, lol!) We LOVE to review games around here. I also love to give games as gifts…you just can’t go wrong, especially with Hasbro games… they always seems to have the ones that get the whole family together for a good time!

The latest game that we reviewed is Taboo Game. This game retails for $26.99 … but I actually just spotted it on Amazon for $24.99, and it gets great reviews, including an A++ review from me and my fam

From the Manufacturer

Taboo, the laugh out loud, out-of-your-seat game of forbidden words is refreshed in 2011 with all new cards, a game changing die and a new taboo buzzer sound for those players who just can’t help but use those taboo words. Refreshed card content for an adult favorite. Game nights are a perfect way to gather friends together for a low-stress evening full of hysterical moments no one will forget. Taboo, the laugh out loud, out-of-your-seat game of forbidden words. All new cards, a game changing die and a new taboo buzzer sound. Recommended age, adult. Players 2 or more.

Product Description

Taboo is the game of unspeakable fun. Try and get your team to guess the word on the card without using the most popular descriptions.

  • Age: 16 years and up

My thoughts? This is such a fun game, and always a hit. It’s not really for kids, which in a way, makes it a refreshing game if you have the Candyland board memorized like I do, lol!

Christina who said: My most memorable road trip was to Vermont with my family!

Guide to Being a Road Trip Warrior
Going on a family road trip? Here are a few tips that will keep you and your family safe and entertained for hours:

  • Yummy In My Tummy: Car snacks are essential for any road trip. This will not only keep your kids satisfied but you will avoid frequent pit stops. Pack healthy snacks like baby carrots or apples. Cereal and crackers are also an easy snack to have onboard. Try to avoid anything sticky or that will melt in the car.
  • Are We There Yet? Stock up your car with kid-friendly entertainment. Bring books, interactive games, art & crafts, music or flash cards. These will keep your kids happy and your eyes on the road.
  • Locked And Loaded: With kids, it is sometimes hard to predict what messes are in your future. A roll of paper towel and a pack of wet wipes should always be on hand. Don’t forget to bring a plastic bag to throw away used or dirty paper towels.

I love to have a fresh smelling car. Or…actually, I should say that I can’t stand to have a non-fresh smelling car, but I will admit… as the mom of two munchkins, fresh isn’t always the word that comes to mind when you climb in my car.  My most embarrassing un-fresh smelling car moment?  Last summer, after meeting my hubby for Chinese food (and placing the leftovers in the back seat) I went to get my oil changed. I left the car and walked across the street to the grocery store and when I came back, it still wasn’t in the shop, and I walked around the back and they had all of the windows and doors open airing it out … I guess sitting in the sun had really, um … enhanced the smell of my Chinese food, although, that’s not what they thought it was, lol.  He said they thought that maybe there was a dirty diaper in there somwhere. Oh-my-red-face wanted out of there so badly….

As you might remember, I am a huge fan of Scholastic Books… and I am also part of a  Scholastic Book review team, which I so enjoy being a part of … Scholastic always has a great selection to choose from, and they add books every month. My kids can’t wait for the new flyers to come out each and month, and I admit…I get pretty excited myself!

Each month we get to select a book to review, and I was not shocked at all with my LEGO crazy sons selection:

LEGO Star Wars The Essential Book Collection

About the book:

This LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Activity Box is perfect for any LEGO or Star Wars fan … it contains two awesome stickers books, (LEGO Star Wars Heroes and LEGO Star Wars Villains) a fun, fact filled LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary AND 61 Star Wars LEGO pieces along with instruction on how to build your very own Star Wars X-Wing Model. Follow the instructions and build your own X-Wing model whilst reading all about the LEGO Star Wars world!

Our thoughts? This is such a neat little gift set for any LEGO and/or Star Wars fan, and needless to say, this book was a hit! (have yet to have a LEGO book fail in our home, lol)
Here’s the thing that I LOVE about books: I LOVE that my kids love books. So, when I give them a book, or let them select a book… I’m really just nurturing their love of books, and I love to watch that grow! These LEGO books are a perfect combination of reading/learning/building … and I am all for encouraging that!

As for Scholastic Books, in case you are unfamiliar with the Scholastic Book program, I am a huge fan of this as well. Scholastic Books do great things for classrooms and schools around the country. If you are looking for a way to volunteer or help at your child’s school, offer to be the “Scholastic mom” for the classroom, and you will probably get a huge HUG. I handled orders for my son’s classroom last year, and we earned so many fun and educational tools for his classroom, including free books for each child at the end of the year.

The Giveaway: …the folks at Scholastic are offering ONE lucky SheSaved reader their very own LEGO StarWars The Essential Book Collection!

Here’s how to enter:

Entry #1: Visit the Scholastic website … what book would you order if you could order any book, and for who? Leave a comment and share with us.

Aimee who said I’d like to try the sea salt escape

I love when companies step up to try to make our lives easier, and I love it even more when it involves chocolate (lol!) …

Ghirardelli chocolate, to be exact. And they have some pretty great ideas on how to uplift your spirits, even in a tough economy by upgrading your finances and lifestyle in 2012 using simple strategies to downsize, while upgrading your new experiences, making saving and indulging a reality.

We all know the economy is a bit rought right now, we all know we have to be a little more frugal than we’d like, but it doesn’t mean we have to cut out everything! A bite (or 3!) of premium chocolate can be our small indulgence, to lift our spirits as we tighten our belts.

 How you plan to upgrade your life – whether its finances, health, diet/nutrition and career? …and how do little indulgences can help? For me personally, it really is the little things ( a cup of good coffee, a good book, a yummy treat (chocolate!) etc.  For example, instead of going out to lunch everyday, adding premium chocolate to your bag lunch can add a bit of glamour into your everyday life, while saving a lot of money.

 Over the next few weeks, Ghirardelli will be posting tips from Jeanette Pavini, lifestyle expert and Marketwatch about upgrading your finances and lifestyle 2012 by adding small changes that don’t feel like you are cutting back, and then adding small indulgences to make you feel good. Whether you want to feel better about your relationships, your health or your career, she will show you how to focus on small changes that can turn an average experience into a sensual, enjoyable, satisfying one.

My Thoughts? Really? …it’s Chocolate, Ghiradelli no less…need I say more? Other than the fact that the Sea Salt Escape bars are out of this world insane good… and hidden far up on a shelf from my hubby, lol. Honestly…these do not disappoint, but you knew they wouldn’t, lol!
