ANGRY BIRDS™ GO! JENGA® PIRATE PIG ATTACK™ GAME review

 

Like Angry Birds?  Like Jenga?  Then you’ll love ANGRY BIRDS™ GO! JENGA® PIRATE PIG ATTACK™ GAME.  There are 2 ways to play this game- 2 player or 1 player but the set up is the same.  You must first set up the ship with the Jenga blocks and arrange the canons and pigs where you want them.  If you are playing against another player then you both place your karts on the ramp and get ready for head to head action as you both launch your karts towards the ship to knock down as many blocks, canons, and pigs as you can.  You earn points for each item you knock down.  Continue to launch your karts until all of the pieces are knocked down and figure out who earned the most points and is the winner.

We tried the 2 player version first and it was a little difficult to figure out which kart knocked down which blocks because it was a photo-finish each time.  We actually had to look at the photos I took to see which kart struck first.  We then decided to try the 1 player version instead.  With the 1 player version, only 1 player launches their karts at a time until they knock down all the pieces.  The object is to see how many turns it takes to knock down all the pieces.  Each player counted how many turns it took them to knock down all the pieces and the winner was the player who knocked everything down in the least amount of turns.  This version worked much better for us because we didn’t have to worry about which kart struck the ship first.  Either version we played was lots of fun for my girls.  They loved the excitement of launching their karts across the table to knock over the pieces of the ship.  What child doesn’t like launching things across the room to knock things over?  As a mom I like that it is an easy game for my girls to set up and play by with little help from me which makes it great for the times that I need them to keep themselves busy for a few minutes so I can get some cooking or cleaning done.  And I think the piggies are cute, too.

Little Tikes 2-in-1 Art Desk and Easel Review

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Disclosure- I received the item(s) mentioned below to conduct my review. I received no other compensation and my opinions are 100% my own.

get-attachment-1

When I first took a look at this Little Tikes 2-in-1 Art Desk and Easel it was love at first site. Both of my girls are very creative and love drawing, coloring and putting together crafts. I knew this would be the perfect addition to our toy room.

get-attachment-2

As soon as this BIG box was delivered I knew I had to put it together. I was just as excited as the girls were. Maybe even more. I was a little shocked when I first took the pieces out of the box. It looked like there was a lot going on. Thankfully it was much easier to put together than I had anticipated. No tools were needed! Score! All of the pieces just snapped together. The whole thing weighs around 8 pounds so it’s easy to move around if needed.

get-attachment-4

One of my favorite things about the Art Desk and Easel is the material it is made of. It’s a super hard plastic, which makes it really durable. I don’t have to worry about it breaking or getting damaged. It is big so both girls can play and design at the same time. Plus, it folds up for quick storage if you don’t have a lot of room.

get-attachment-3

My oldest daughter has been using it to work out her math homework. I am all for her getting it done quickly. This great set comes with a stool, two easels, a chalkboard and magnetic “dry erase” board, a desk with storage, and a station for drying and artwork display. What more could you ask for?

get-attachment-5

Another great feature is how easy it is to clean. Just wipe it down with a damp rag and everything comes right off. For the price and everything this Little Tikes 2-in-1 Art Desk and Easel has to offer, I highly suggest it for every household with kids. The possibilities are endless. I love toys that are educational and allow my girls to use their imagination. Now they can paint, color, draw, play school, do homework and so much more! Plus it’s made in the USA! That’s always a good thing.

need for speed

 

DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, “Need for Speed” captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless.

 

The film centers around Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia Maddon (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey’s shop, a disastrous race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didn’t commit, and sending Tobey to prison while Dino expands his business out West.

 

Two years later, Tobey is released and set on revenge — but he knows his only chance to take down his rival Dino is to defeat him in the high-stakes race known as De Leon — the Super Bowl of underground racing. However to get there in time, Tobey will have to run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet that includes dodging pursuing cops coast-to-coast as well as contending with a dangerous bounty Dino has put out on his car. With the help of his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.

NEED FOR SPEED races into theatres everywhere on March 14th, 2014!

Bungee Virtual Lost+Found Tags Review

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Disclosure- I received the item(s) mentioned below to conduct my review.  I received no other compensation and my opinions are 100% my own.

Bungee Virtual Lost Found Tags Review

We all have electronics, wallets, and keys, but what happens when we lose our precious possessions?  If you lose your wallet someone MIGHT look you up by your ID to return your wallet.  And if you lose your cellphone someone MIGHT go through your contacts if you phone isn’t locked to try to find out whose phone it is and contact you.  Or they MIGHT answer your phone if the battery is still charged when you call it.  But all those options require a lot of effort on the part of the good Samaritan.   Now there is an easier solution- Bungee Virtual Lost+Found Tags.  Each Bungee Pack contains 1 Lost Wallet Card, 1 Lost Keys Tag, and 21 stick-on tags in various shapes to stick to fit on all of your property.  They even give you a few long skinny tags to put on the inside arm of your sunglasses.  Once you receive your Bungee Pack tag your stuff and easily activate your unique Bungee Tag Serial Number on the Bungee Tag website.  Your unique serial number will be linked to your cellphone number.  So what next?

Here’s how Bungee Tags work:about_faqWith Bungee Tags the good Samaritan reads the Bungee Tag on your lost item and anonymously sends you a text and e-mail through the Bungee Tag system so neither of you have to worry about a stranger getting your personal info.  Communicate anonymously with the kind stranger to arrange for the safe return of your item.  I hope I never need to use Bungee Tags but I tagged all of our important property, including my children’s electronics, because you never know.  You can purchase Bungee Tags in several packages from a 2 year plan to a 5 year family plan.  Plans start at $19 for the 2 year plan which includes 23 Bungee Tags.

bungee

Here are some FAQ:

Where does Bungee work?
Bungee works internationally anywhere in the world where text messaging and internet/email work.

What cell phone carriers does Bungee work with?
Bungee works with all of the major cell phone carriers in the United States. As long as you have text message capability on your phone (and who doesn’t?) you are good to go.

I am having problems activating Bungee. Who should I contact?
You may send an email to info@bungeetags.com and leave us contact information. We will contact you immediately.

Do I have to activate Bungee?
Yes. You must go through the activation process either via text message or on our website. If Bungee is not activated, it will not work.

Will you return my property?
No. Bungee is a system that allows two parties to communicate anonymously and safely in order to arrange a return.

What if I lose my cell phone?
Bungee works through text message and email so if you have lost your cell phone, you will be notified via email.

What if I change my phone number or email address?
If you change any of your information, you can update it here in our account section

I lost something. What should I do?
Do what you would normally do if you lost something. Bungee works when the finder takes action and sometimes lost property ends up in lost and found departments or with the police. Make sure that you check with the appropriate parties. In other words, don’t just sit there and do nothing.

I found something. What should I do?
Follow the instructions on the tag and send a text message or you may report the find here.

How does Bungee protect my privacy?
Bungee allows you to label your property without putting personal information on it. When the property is found, Bungee bridges an anonymous conversation (through our system) between you and the finder. Your telephone number and email are never revealed by us.

Can I link more than one account to my cell phone and email?
Yes, you may link an unlimited amount of serial numbers/accounts to your cell phone number and email.

Do I have to register separately for each piece of property?
Generally no. If the tags that you are putting on each piece of property have the same serial number on them (and they do if they came together), you only have to activate the serial number once. But for each unique serial number you have to go through the activation process.
