Nintendo Switch News – Luigi’s Mansion 3

Post written in collaboration with Nintendo. All opinions are my own. #NintendoFamilyFun Most recently my family and I attended a spooky event hosted by Nintendo to preview Luigi’s Mansion 3. The previous arcade version has been my kids’ go-to game for a long time. Whenever they quickly disappear, we usually find them at this game. I mean, what’s not to like about hunting ghosts with a flashlight and vacuum cleaner? Play as Luigi or Gooigi. Now it will be better than ever with new moves, new themed floors, new tools, new challenges, and more!

Nintendo Switch Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

Do you remember playing the earlier versions of Donkey Kong? (Jumping over barrels and collecting bananas?) We received a copy of the new Donkey Kong Country – Tropical Freeze game for Nintendo Switch to review. Playing Donkey Kong with my kids has brought back so many fond memories of the game. I loved the original, and it is actually still one of my favorite of all times. In this version you can play up to to two players.

TICKTALK – Wearable Phone for Kids!

Product Testing/Review. All opinions are my own. My son is entering middle school next year while his younger brother attends elementary school. They will be on different schedules, and I might start subbing next year. We still have a couple of months of summer to figure out commuting whether it be bussing or carpooling, etc. I would love some tips if you’d like to share them with me. I have considered letting him to walk to school and back, but I am not 100% convinced neither I nor he is ready for it. I have thought about ordering him a bus (since it is not provided for free where we … READ MORE >>

Connected Independence – Smart Homes for Seniors

Advertisment. All opinions are my own. Now that we are homeowners, my husband has been obsessed with converting our home into a Smart Home. We have several of the devices that we can control remotely like light switches, thermostat, garage, and we got an Echo Show for Christmas, but it takes time to do it all. Last week, I attended “Connected Independence”, a Smart Home designed for seniors. It had me thinking about my own aging parents, and I also pictured myself using this technology when I’m not there to help them. “According to AARP, nearly 90% of adults ages 65+ prefer staying in their homes and aging in their … READ MORE >>
