I know in the past I have posted some deals from Achievement Products. My daughter has a sensory processing disorder as well as phonologic disorder with expressive communication disorder. So far there are only a couple of sites that I find her items she needs for her issues. Achievement Products is by far MY FAVORITE place to get all these things. I do not work for them, or receive anything as the disclosure states, I just really love this company. I love to help mom's save money and find the things they need for their children.

I have been kind of quiet with posting for a little while since I have been so busy, but they have a deal right now to save 10% off ALL KITS!
Use Code: APKITS13

We were so lucky to receive Angry Birds Star Wars products for review! My son is way into the Angry Birds apps on the phone, I also let him play with my parents and friends on Facebook. He has several sets of the Angry Birds game sets, and absolutely LOVES them. The Millennium Falcon Bounce Game is a little different, but actually very fun and entertaining. It says on the box foe Ages 8+, however, it was easily played by all the kids, they are ages: 4, 6, 7 (will be 8 very soon). I even had a blast playing with the kids. Below I have listed 3 new items that are out.

Now the Millennium Falcon Bounce Game is totally awesome! I actually liked it a little better than the other ones because of the simplicity, and that we all could play it very easily. It only took minutes to assemble the ship, place the decals, and put together the pigs to knock down. It is easily set back up for each person to take their turn. We played in the kitchen on the floor where there was definitely enough room but I know it could easily be played at the table, or even on a coffee table. The balls are similar to ping pong balls (a little sturdier), and they bounce nicely. We played this for a couple hours after dinner. I really liked that it could be played by everyone, you don't find that very often with games. I also kind of applied some skills that we are trying to teach our little foster girl, taking turns, following rules, and being a good sport. The only thing I had to do was glue the bases to the pigs because every once in a while they would fall out...but that is just thinking ahead, if I am doing something and don't want to have to fix them a hundred times, you know kids, mom has to fix everything!

It was also easily disassembled and put away in the box with no over flow like some games, those are the ones we usually lose the parts to! If you find the specially marked packages, there is a little paper inside that gives you a code to enter on the app. That is little paper in the photos.

The foam flyer was a big hit too. Our little foster girl is learning to catch so we played with this for a while sitting in a circle in the kitchen as well. It bounces, flies, and is soft and squishy, while firm at the same time. Again we used this for some skills, taking turns, going in order, trying to hit stuffed animals set out on the floor (my son has tons of angry birds, so this time the Vader Piggy took out the birds! Lots of fun! The flyer also may be marked with app content as well, ours had a code also.

 photo d154fd42-a54d-46d8-8c39-968665249d22_zpse5c236c2.jpg

Everything is of great quality and definitely worth the retail price. I was skeptical about the flyer but it holds up to a lot of throwing and bouncing.

Easter Bunny Lane 2013 @ Kraynak's - Sharon, PA

 photo WeareFamily_zps133f53c1.png

As I have been posting since around August last year, we have had some extra kiddos come in and out of the house. They are family, my fiancee's niece and nephew. We still have lil girl, but brother has been sent with his dad, and their mom and he are back together. They are trying so hard to get their family back, and have a home and happy life together. One thing about this whole situation, we are family. People make mistakes, I'm not saying this should have happened, but I do believe it was for the best that this series of unfortunate events happened. In the end, they are getting what they deserve, loving a loving supportive family. We are just waiting on the legals to get done so lil girl can head home with her mom, step dad, and brother!

Last weekend I posted on Facebook that I would be out most of the weekend, as we had a nice get together planned for our lil girl to see her mom, brother, and soon to be step dad. All the kids had a great time, Evan's brother was there too! Check out the slideshow of the amazing set displays Kraynak's had this year!


It was a super day!
