This Frugal Family

Have you heard of Prime Time Toys? Prime Time Toys has brought my family lots of hours of fun.  The Dart Zone Blasters are so much fun.  My 5 year old, son, and myself, have been playing with them, and the blasters bring a smile to his face everytime.  The Dart Zone Blasters are unique, and are inexpensive.  You can get them so easily, go to the link in this paragraph, to order.  Jacob hasn’t stopped playing with the Dart Zone Blaster for 2 weeks.  From morning til night, he has the blaster in his hand.  We’ve taught him to aim at a target, and he is having a blast. Here’s more about the Havoc ($9.99): The Havoc Powerclip Blaster features a unique sideswipe tactical grip for ease in loading and firing during the most epic of dart battles.  With trigger-fire action and with an auto-advance vertical clip, this blaster is sure to cause havoc on the enemy.  Shoots up to 80 feet with 2 Ammo Clip and 16 Darts. The Zippi Pets are super cool too.  As a matter of fact, my 19 year old, plays with it all the time.  I know she’s older, but she still enjoys…

Who doesn’t love to Hula Hoop? My 19 year old, daughter, and my wife, are pretty much experts, now.  With Hoopmama’s Hula Hoops, they’ve learned so much in two weeks.  My 5 year old, son, is getting the hang of it, but he didn’t catch on as fast as Sarah, and Steph.  They have so much fun, playing in the evening with Hoopmama’s.  And, Jacob loves the Superman Hula Hoop that was sent for him.  We are having so much fun, together.  Now that we have these hoops, it’s giving us something to do with our time.  We would just sit on our butts, and watch television, but with Hoopmama’s hoops, we are getting a little bit of exercise.  My daughter, Sarah, really gets a workout.  She says how much fun she’s having. We are remodeling, so everything is moved around in our home, but Sarah goes in the addition, and goes to town, with her hoop.  I’ve never seen the girl have so much fun.  Even Steph, my wife, is having fun, and she doesn’t exercise, like she’s supposed to.  However, she says she can feel the burn in her thighs, after she plays with Hoopmama’s hoops. You can…

Whiffer Sniffers smell exactly like the product that they are supposed to smell like. Jacob, my 5 year old, received some whiffer sniffers a few weeks ago.  He loves them.  Says, “Mommy, it smells so good, I could eat it.”  I call him a “silly boy”.  But, they do smell unbelievable.  It’s astonishing, how they can smell exactly like the product.  And, it’s been two weeks, and they still smell just as strong as they did when we received them. Sarah, age 19, took one, before Jacob could see them.  She put it on her backpack, and gets positive comments in college.  Everyone wants to know where to buy, and what is on her book bag.  Sarah loves that fellow students, and even instructors, are noticing her cute little Whiffer Sniffer, hanging off her bag. Company History The creators of the original Whiffer Sniffers, Bearington Collection, is a family company dedicated to creating adorable and affordable plush gifts, collectibles and accessories. The love of teddy bears drew the Stray family to the industry in the beginning, and although they worked in sales for a number of respected industry leaders, they always dreamed of owning their own company. Throughout the past 17 years, the…

I See Me! has been one of my favorite companies, for years. Their products give a personalized touch to any gift.  I love the way Jacob, age 5, lit up when he heard his Christmas CD yesterday.  And, though, he’s just learning to read, followed along in the sing a long book.  He loves I See Me! as much as I do. We’ve been getting Jacob products from I See Me! for at least 2 years now.  Every Holiday, we try to pick out something.  This gives a personal gift, because it is personalized with the date, his name, etc.  Take a look at the items they have.  I know you, too, will find something you love from I See Me! There are 12 songs on the CD, and everything is there from Up On The Rooftop, to Frosty The Snowman, and even We Wish You A Merry Christmas.  And, each song has a special place, where they say Jacob’s name.  He loved hearing his name in all the songs. You can see, in the above picture, his birthday is there, full name, and even Love Mom & Dad, 2016.  This will be a memory he will have forever.  And,…
