Hop into Spring with New Games from Winning Moves Games! #Review

April 11, 2017 By Marijean

We LOVE board games in our house! I am always looking for new, fun and educational board games for my children to play. Winning Moves Games has brought out brand new ones for 2017 and I was able to review three of them.

I was able to review Cranium Cadoo, Game of the States and Sunk! Let me tell you about these fun family games!

CRANIUM® CADOO

The original version is back by popular demand and todays kids will be puzzling, sketching, sculpting, acting and code-cracking with the Cranium Cadoo game. $25.95.

My kids and I have so much fun with this game! It is for ages 7 and up and for 2 or more players. My 5 year old did play it with my 8 year old and I, and the only hard part he had was reading the cards. Other than that he had a blast playing with us! It was so fun watching my kids sculpt funny things out of the clay, sketch on the pad and act out hilarious things! I highly recommend this fun game for family game nights!

GAME OF THE STATES™

Kids learn all about the United States by racing their trucks across country buying and selling goods along the way. Players will become familiar with the fifty states, their locations, capital cities, top products and learn interesting STEM facts about each state! $20.95.

This game reminds my kids and I a lot of Monopoly! This game is for ages 8 and up, 2-4 players. It is so much fun and highly educational. I love how my kids were learning facts about each state as they played, and where each state is located. My 8 year old was excited to go to school the next day and tell her teacher some cool state facts she had learned by playing this game. I highly recommend this game for family game nights!!

SUNK!™

A unique social, skill and action game where the task is to add water – one drop at a time – to the cup floating in the water filled Sunk tank, without causing it to sink. $15.95.

This game gives us so many laughs! It is for ages 10 and up, 2 or more players. My 8 and 5 year old joined in on this game and did great even though they are young for it. It is a social skill and action game, and really made my kids think of how to not sink the cup. This would be great for a game night with teen and/or adults!

These games are so much fun, they are perfect for game nights or days when you are stuck in the house. They also make great gifts!! Click here to order!

Live A Sweat-Free Life This Spring With Iontoderma

April 7, 2017 By Marijean

Live A Sweat-Free Life This Spring With Iontoderma

Summer is right around the corner… That means sweatier hands and feet for people with hyperhidrosis. Yikes! Luckily, there’s a solution.

It’s almost summer time! The warm temperature is ideal for fun outdoor activities. But for those who have hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, the heat can bring some serious challenges.

Excessive sweating can be a very debilitating condition. We have heard heartbreaking stories from customers telling us they never went on a date because they were too afraid to talk about their condition. Worst, many have also admitted that they didn’t go to job interviews because they were too anxious to shake hands.

Considering that 1 of every 20 people in the USA suffers from excessive sweating to a certain degree, it’s more than important that we talk about this condition.

Finally having dry hands and feet

Only 40% of excessive sweaters ever talk about their condition with their family doctor. That’s why hyperhidrosis is called the silent handicap.

Because of the taboo surrounding excessive sweating, people who suffer from this condition don’t know that there are a variety of solutions available to treat this condition, such as botox or topical creams.

Out of all these solutions, the International Hyperhidrosis Society has called iontophoresis the best treatment option available to treat excessive sweating. Iontoderma believes it’s time to democratize this solution and offer an affordable iontophoresis device that can be easily used at home.

Excessive sweating shouldn’t come between you and your summer fun. Considering that most people that use Iontoderma’s solution are dry after one week of using the machine, you’ll be ready to wear sandals this summer. What are you waiting for?

The machine retails for $399 with free shipping. They also offer a 2 year warranty. Click here to order!

Iontoderma is happy to offer a 15% discount for Mommyhastowork.com readers! Just use the promo code MOMMYHASTOWORK and you are good to go.

Young Living Essential Oils Giveaway

April 2, 2017 By Marijean

I have always been interested in trying Essential Oils. I have many friends who swear by them, and that essential oils can help everyday issues such as stress, headaches, stomach issues and much more. I am for anything natural that can help. I was recently contacted by a An independent distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. Her name is Nicolle Schwartz, and she has offered a giveaway for my readers. Below you will find information all about Young Living Essential Oils.

About Young Living:

Young Living was started by Gary Young over 20 years ago. He and his wife Mary still run, own and operate the company. Young Living owns all of their own farms and distilleries all over the globe.

Young Living has developed their own “Seed to Seal” promise that ensures that they have inspected the purity of the oil from the planting of the seed to the sealing of the bottle.

Because of the Seed to Seal promise, they are what we call, “beyond organic”. When Young Living buys land for a new farm they even check the history of that land to ensure there has never been any pesticides or herbicides used on it that could leak into the crop.Young Living Essential Oils don’t have any additives in them and are complete pure. This makes them safe for Ingestion.

Stroll through a lavender field or a pine forest, and your senses are instantly awakened—from the energizing aromas that envelop you to the sense of well-being that they evoke. At Young Living, we celebrate this harmony between nature, body, mind, and soul, and we infuse it into everything we make.

What are Essential Oils?

Young Living Essential Oils are a pure, therapeutic grade and work with your body to assist your health. Within 20 minutes of applying an oil, they can be found in every cell of your body. These types of pure oils are steam distilled from plants and contain the hormones, immunity, scents and essence of each one. They can be used aromatically (through diffusing, putting a couple of drops in your hands and smelling or just smelling from the bottle), topically (the feet is the best place to start as they are the least sensitive) or some oils are FDA approved to be ingested as well.

If your Child Loves Animals They Will Love a Subscription to Zoobooks! Review and Giveaway

March 25, 2017 By Marijean

I remember as a child I loved reading Zoobooks. I did not have a subscription, but I can remember going to the dentist’s office and reading them in the waiting room. Honestly, I had no idea these books were still around until I was contacted by the marketing manager of Zoobooks. I was very excited because my two children absolutely love animals and learning about them!

About Zoobooks:

Zoobooks is the everything-you-wanted-to-know-but-didn’t-know-where-to-look children’s resource for animals. Each Zoobooks explores the anatomy, habitat, socialization, and ecological role of a single animal or animal group in a vibrant, easy-to-understand way. The Zoobooks trademark design combines stunning photography with beautiful life-like illustration and captivating text that kids just love – guaranteed!

Zoobooks is published by Wildlife Education, Ltd., established in 1980 to provide wild learning fun for children of all ages. Since then, the Wildlife Education family of award-winning publications has grown to include:

Zootles, for younger readers 3 to 6 years old, launched in 2005

Zoobies, for the littlest learners 0 to 3 years old, launched in 2008

Critters Up Close, durable board books about animals for young explorers 0 to 6 years old.

Millions of young readers have grown up with award-winning Zoobooks, Zootles and Zoobies, developing key learning skills while having fun reading about something they love – animals, animals and more animals. And the learning goes beyond the page with:

digital subscriptions

a Secret Jungle website with just-for-kids animal games, puzzles and quizzes

e-Safari email adventures that trek to the best animal sites on the web

It’s been over 30 years since John Wexo hatched the idea for Zoobooks while standing in front of a primate enclosure at the zoo. His idea was simple: to create a colorful, concise, informative series of animal books to share with children that could be purchased at zoos through vending machines. The vending machine gave way to subscription sales, and Zoobooks was soon being shipped to hundreds of thousands of subscribers around the world. To meet the clamoring demand of librarians, the first hardcover editions of Zoobooks were produced in 1983.

Now you can find Zoobooks, Zootles and Zoobies in homes, schools and libraries around the world. You can buy them by subscription or by single editions in the Zoobooks web store, in select bookstores and in finer zoo, museum, aquarium and park gift shops and specialty retailers around the country.

Zoobooks offers many different subscriptions for kids of all ages. I have an 8 and 5 year old so I reviewed all of the offered subscriptions. Zoobies for ages 0-3, Zootles for ages 3-6, Zoodinos for ages 5 and up and Zoobooks for ages 6-12. Each issue is themed around a specific animal or group of animals, discussing habits and habitat in depth so the reader gains a thorough understanding. Each book also comes ad free, each page is filled with information about the animals.

Zoobies and Zootles are perfect for my 5 year old who is learning to read. He is enjoying learning facts about Alligators, as well as sounding out the words and reading! My 8 year old loves Zoodinos and Zoobooks. She is a BIG animal lover, so she was so excited to receive these. While she was reading she would look over to me and tell me all of the great facts she was learning about Elephants! The books are illustrated with beautiful photos and drawings. I love how each subscription comes with games, activities, animal questions, stickers, posters and coloring sheets! The Elephant book received even came with really cool fact cards about different animals!

With each subscription, you will receive a hard copy and a digital copy! This is great for airplane trips and for road trips! These subscriptions would also make great gifts for any animal lover you know! Click here to order!
