Customizing Your Bike With The Longest Lasting, Super Bright, LED Rim Lights

Our family loves to ride bikes and if you are looking for a fun way to customize your bike or your kid’s bike, I have a great product I want to share with you.  Adding super bright, long-lasting LED rim lights to your bike is so easy.  The Speed Racer rim lights come in packs of 6 lights-2 blue, 2 multi color, 2 green, they are rust resistant, 100% waterproof and able to be used in any terrain.

Bike-Bicycle-Rim-Lights-LED

 

They attach to the valve stem on your bike tires. Fits most bikes and has motion sensor LED technology, this ensures durability along with the 50,000 hour of lifetime on the lights.   See our video review below and on YouTube for a real time look at the super bright bike rim lights. The lights come complete with the AG 10 batteries. You can purchase these lights on Amazon.com.

 

Let me know how you have customized your bike or your kid’s bikes.  Have you added rim lights?

 

I was provided with these bike lights to facilitate my review, as always my views and words are 100% my own.

How To Measure Ingredients Precisely Whether Tsp., Tbsp. or ML

Whether your recipe calls for 1 Tbsp, 1 Tsp or 5 ML, you can get the exact measure you need.  The 1Easylife Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons are marked with both and you will easily measure and add the correct amount of ingredients to your recipes.  The spoons are stainless steel so they are super easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.

Unlike plastic measuring spoons these measurements are engraved into the handle so they will not wash off.  They look sleek and attractive and complement any kitchen. They nest in each other or can be hung by the ring for easy, neat storage.

1EasyLife-Stainless Steel-Measuring Spoons

The spoons come in six different sizes: 1/8-tsp., 1/4-tsp., 1/2-tsp., 1-tsp., 1/2-Tbsp. and 1-Tbsp.  This just may be the last set of measuring spoons you will ever buy.  You can purchase them on Amazon.

See our review video below to see the details of these measuring spoons.

 

What do you think?  We would love to hear your thoughts.  Have you had plastic measuring spoons that looked yucky after putting them in the dishwasher?

What To Look For In A High Speed Jump Rope

We recently reviewed the High Speed, Double Under Jump Rope from Inspired Fitness.  Maybe you are training or just like to jump rope and you are wondering what makes this high-speed jump rope different from the hundreds of others on the market.

High Speed Jump Rope

High Speed Jump Rope 1

Well, first this rope is put together with strict quality control to ensure you get the absolute best quality speed rope for your workouts.  The length can be adjusted easily with finger tightening screws, so you can go from user to user without needing a screwdriver to adjust the length.

High Speed Jump Rope 2

The handles are light and comfortable but they are super tough and the unique double bearing makes the rope not just faster but extends the life.  The cables are light, fast and kink-resistant for more intense workouts and minimal tangling.

My husband really liked the rope and it adjusted easily to fit our young son who did very well with it.  You can order your own right on Amazon and it comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!

See the rope in action in our YouTube video below:

Play Doh Ruined Christmas? Parents Say Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset’s Penis Shaped Extruder is Obscene!!!

Play Doh Sweet-Shoppe-Playset

My Facebook feed was filled the last day or so all about some obscene Play Doh toy that is included in the Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset. Apparently the tool that is supposed to be used for cake decorating to dispense icing resembles another type of tool.  Reports of  outraged parents who claim the playset with its phallic shaped icing dispenser looks like a penis and is inappropriate for children.  The two-part icing extruder’s picture has been blasted all over Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and more.  There are even reports that Hasbro removed parent comments on their Facebook page which outraged the already furious parents even more.

In a statement posted on their Facebook page Tuesday, Hasbro said, “We have heard some consumer feedback about the extruder tool in the Play-Doh Cake Mountain playset and are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool. Should any consumer want a replacement extruder for this item, they can contact Hasbro’s Customer Service Department at 800-327-8264.”

If you look on Amazon the Playset is still available for sale and people are scooping up the playsets for collectibles.  The reviews on Amazon are mostly tongue in cheek and make references to the extruder like the ones below:

My wife is never giving this back to the kids

By et on December 31, 2014

It loses a star because while I got this for the kids (and they loved the IDEA of it once they tore off the wrapping paper), my wife has been keeping the ‘shoppe’ for her own use. In fact she’s been in our spare bedroom playing with it all day. When I call through the door to ask when she’s going to be coming out, she keeps telling me she’s off to a good start but she hasn’t ‘finished.’ I just hope next time I get in on the action. Meanwhile, the kids are just heartbroken that their toy is now mama’s toy. Play-Doh’s marketing department really screwed the pooch on this one.

Extruder is elegantly designed and titillatingly fun!

By Mike on December 31, 2014
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging

Great fun for young and old! For some reason, the extruder keeps turning up missing. But luckily my wife always ends up finding it. The Play-Doh always comes out of the ribbed extruder with a nice creamy texture. Caution: Don’t push in and out on the extruder too fast or hard, or it will release its contents way too soon.
Sometimes an extruder is just an extruder, January 1, 2015

 This review is from: Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset (Toy)
Sometimes a toy is just a toy and not a Dil-Doh. If you like to make pretend cakes, then this is the toy for you. If you like to project your insecurities onto your offspring, this might also be the toy for you!
You can read more reviews HERE.

 

Love to hear you sound off on this.  Did Santa stuff your stocking or pack your tree with the Play Doh Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset?  What do you think? Are parents justified to claim this toy ruined their Christmas?  Do you think the design was intentionally and designed by an employee wanting to screw with their boss (no pun intended, oh maybe I did intend on using the pun lol).  Let us know what you think in the comments!

Splash Math, Fun Learning Math Game Apps For Kids!!! #FreeMathApp #MomBuzz

Games that are fun and encourage learning are always welcome additions in our household.  Recently I downloaded some Splash Math Apps for my kids.  I downloaded the Pre-K to K and the version for Grades 1-5.  I recently posted the following 2 reviews of them on iTunes if you want to check them out.

Splash Math Pre-K:

This fun math app is great for kids in pre-k and kindergarten.  My son is in Kindergarten and loves math, his dad is a math professor so it is in his genes. The fun, friendly characters make the math games fun and kids learn and practice counting skills, addition, subtraction, compare numbers to determine which is greater than or less than, measuring, early geometry and more.  If a child completed all the levels in any given learning unit they win a prize.  If they get the wrong answer they are given helpful guidance to help steer them toward the right answer.  This is a great app for little ones that teaches early math skills they will need to build a strong foundation.  They get 20 questions daily for free.

Splash Math Grades 1-5
My son is in second grade and loves math and numbers.  It is in his genes as his father is a mathematics professor, lol.  Anyway this app downloads easy and is great for kids in 1st thru 5th grade.  It is aligned with common core curriculum my child’s school is using  and teaches multiplication, division, number sense, geometry, fractions and more.  There is an area for them to do their work and it offers 20 questions with the free version daily. This is a great app for kids to hone their math skills or learn some new ones.
