Invite The Dude And Grownup Game Night Will Never, Ever Be The Same! #Giveaway @DudeIsGreatUSA

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Do you love game nights like we do here at our house?? We love hosting game nights and each one has it's own funny and memorable moments we will remember forever! But sometimes we get tired of the same old games so we are always on the lookout for fun, new games that will have us laughing for hours!

This year's favorite so far? Who’s The Dude?!

Who's The Dude? Is The Hilarious Charades Game Where Every Round Includes The Inflatable Dude Doll!

The life of your next party won’t drink your beer, fart or use your bathroom. Perfect! And he’s in good-enough shape (there’s a little pot belly) to bend or move his limbs any which way. That’s a key factor, as you must include “him” in every round of a hilarious game called Who’s The Dude? ($24.99). Did we mention he’s a blowup doll? Don’t worry, the content is pretty G-rated.

Wearing a green tank top and sporting dark shades, the Dude stands 5 feet at full (inflated) height. The boxed-game ground rules mimic the iconic game of charades. Yes, it’s wacky, maybe even a bit bawdy but that’s what grownup game night is all about! You know your friends better than anyone (ahem) so invite the Dude and set your iPhone to countdown 30 minutes.

We recently played this game at our cabin with some our family members and, I will be honest, everyone was a little skeptical at first. But the minute we started everyone was laughing so hard, it was hard to talk or even play!

Here's how to play: 

Pick a charade card. With a light-as-air body, the Dude can pretty much perform any body movement conceived by each player! Pay attention if you can stop laughing. Can you guess what your friend and the Dude are doing in the wordless scene?

Each charade card instructs players to recreate a scene from a movie, act out a sport or a profession, and many other zany activities. The other players try to guess, within the time limit, what the heck you and the Dude are doing! Hilarity will ensue. Pass the Dude to the next player and begin again. The player that has the most points after 4 rounds (if you ever make it that far!) wins the game.

We seriously loved this game and played for hours. We even stopped keeping score because we just wanted to keep playing for fun! Check out the funny video of my sister really getting into it! 😂

If you want a hilarious game that will keep you laughing and spice up your game night, then grab Who's The Dude? at your local Target!

Hours of Laughter w/ the Mouthguard Challenge Game!

* This post is brought to you by the Mouthguard Challenge. All opinions are mine.*

Thanksgiving in my husband's house is always a time to eat and have fun playing games as family!

This year I was so excited to bring a new fun game to play - Mouthguard Challenge - and I can't even begin to tell you how fun it was! Check out more details below and check out the pictures - it's ok to laugh! We sure did!!!

Based on the Youtube sensation with over 30 million views to date, Alex Mandel brings the newest Party game right to your home - "Mouthguard Challenge". The game comes with 5 mouthguards / cheek retractors / mouthpieces, 51 specially developed tasks, and revenge cards. Anyone can play the game or just sit back and watch the fun. The tasks not only contain words or phrases, but also challenge you in a completely different way! Break out the laughs with this Crazy party game that's a Mouthful of Fun! Great addition to party games such as Pie Face, Wet Head, Poopyhead and more!

Mouthguard Challenge Family and Party Game - Includes everything you need to play this hilarious and fun game

• Contains not only speak out phrases, but also more "extreme" challenges
• Features 51 challenges, revenge cards, 5 cheek retractors / mouthguards / mouthpiece
• Created by Alex Mandel , Family Friendly Content - 2 - 5 Players / Ages: 16 and up
• The authentic "Mouthguard Challenge" game as seen on Youtube

This game had us laughing with tears running down our faces from the moment we put our mouthguards in! We hadn't even started the game and we couldn't stop laughing!

And once we started the game, the laughs only continued! I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time! I can't wait to play this game over and over (don't worry the mouthguards are dishwasher safe!!)

The cards do involve some food on several cards so you do have to be prepared if you want to do all the cards. We just skipped the ones we didn't want to do or couldn't and had hours of fun regardless! There were some challenging ones and some really funny ones! No matter which card you picked, it was hilarious just to listen to someone talk!

Family Game Night with Winning Moves Games

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

We LOVE games in our house! From our kids to us adults, we love to play GAMES! We try to have family game night at least once a week and it is one of our favorite days of the week!

Even more, we LOVE to play NEW games and learn new games so both the kids and us parents were so excited to receive and try out three new games from Winning Moves Games!

Check them out below:

FISH FISH SQUISH!™

Mold your own school of dough-fish and get ready to "squish" your opponents' fish! Every three-in-a-row with the cards earns you a squish. But, stay on your fins! Everyone else is trying to squish your fish too!

This game was fun because every one gets to form fish and then squish their neighbors! The game starts out a little slow but soon picks up as more cards are turned over!

My kids really enjoyed learning this new game and it is now a favorite in our house!

CLASSIC TWISTER®

People have been getting twisted and tangled playing Twister since the 1960's! You'll fall over with laughter as you get "tied up in knots!"

This has been a favorite with my kids to play at grandma's house but they were SO EXCITED to own it themselves now and play it anytime they want! This is so fun to play when all the cousins come over! It always ends in laughter and twisted bodies! :)

SCATTERGORIES® CATEGORIES

If you love The Game of SCATTERGORIES, then SCATTERGORIES CATEGORIES is the next game you will want to play! It's a great twist on your favorite. Keep the fun coming with this fast-thinking categories game.

SCATTERGORIES is our absolute FAVORITE game to play with our friends when they come over! So when I saw a new twist on it, SCATTERGORIES CATEGORIES, I knew our friends would love this one just as much!

You get a word which becomes the theme of the words you build off of the base word! It is fun and challenging and we LOVE it!

#LeapTV Pre-Sale Period is Here!

This post is part of a sponsored campaign with LeapFrog and MomSelect. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It is finally here!!! 

The LeapTV Pre-Sale Period that I have been talking about for a couple of weeks now is finally here!

Gaming just got smarter with LeapTV™ active video gaming system. Kids can learn through motion as they jump, dance and more. With a library of 100+ LeapFrog educator-approved game cartridges, game downloads and videos, kids will never run out of fun!

Designed from the ground up for children ages three to eight years old, the LeapTV video game system changes the way children learn by combining activity and movement with best-in-class educational curriculum. With a simple and intuitive user interface, a motion-sensing camera that puts a child directly in the game, a transforming controller that is made for classic gameplay and pointer control gameplay, plus audio prompts throughout the experience to help children navigate games and provide curricular tutorials, LeapTV is the best first video game experience for children.

I love that it is designed JUST for Kids and that it there are Three Unique Ways to Play: body motion, pointer play and classic control.

New Winning Moves Games & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Games are a big deal in our house! We try to have a family game night at least once a week and the kids enjoying playing games with each other throughout the day too!

So when we are looking for more games to play, we look to Winning Moves! They are a leading maker of board games, card games, and puzzles. Since their first year of operation in 1995, they have forged a close relationship with one of the world's largest game companies, Hasbro, Inc., owner of Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley. As a result, many long-lived Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley games are now made exclusively by Winning Moves!

They have a couple new 2014 games that they just officially released and they have created hours of fun in our house lately!

TOURING

The first new card game is TOURING and it was first released way back in 1906 and is the original car racing card game. Players race across the States trying to rack up 400 miles.

Be first to finish the tour and you win! But look out, your opponents are ready to wreck your journey with penalty cards, like flat tire and more!

And now for something completely different…they have a new line of waterproof, washable, floating card games called Splash Cards. They can be played in the bathtub, in the pool, at the beach, in the hot-tub, and even on dry surfaces.

The  two games my kids are loving at bath time are SPLASHIMALS™ and SPLASH PALS™, which are geared for kids ages 2 and up.

SPLASH PALS™

Revolutionary cards that are waterproof, lightweight, washable and they float! Battle it out with an astronaut-Sump Wrestler with legs as delicate as a Ballerina or fight back with a Caveman-Mermaid with the brain of a Robot. Kids of all ages will enjoy making their own splash pals!

SPLASHIMALS™

Revolutionary cards that are waterproof, lightweight, washable and they float! Splashimals help make bath-time a fun and educational experience!

My kids love finding the matches and mixing them up too! They stick easily on the walls at bath time and easily come off when bath time is over! I love that!
