Color Splash Sunday #6

My week #6 Color Splash Sunday, go link up over @ Artistically Amy every Sunday




Build A Dream Playhouse Review & Giveaway!

Hailee is a big fan of coloring, she also is a great imaginer (she always says that). Build A Dream Playhouses allowed Hailee to pick a product from their site. She of course choose the Imagine Wagon (Ice Cream Truck) like I figured she would. She has all kinds of pretend ice cream and is always playing with it.

She waited patiently for it to arrive asking everyday if it was here yet. When the package arrived she was so excited. I had my mom help me put it together, its easy you just need some help holding up the sides while you add on.

Once it was put together she went and found a music player and put a chair inside. She pushed her music player on and sold us lots of ice cream!

It sat in the middle of our living room for awhile now so she could decorate it. Its pretty big but Hailee has been adding her artwork to it daily and still has tons of space to keep adding on. We finally carried it up to her room last night.

She really enjoys her Imagine Wagon and I love that she gets to use her imagination and enjoy her love of coloring & drawing as well.


The Imagine Wagon features

– Spacious interior ( me & Hailee both can fit inside at the same time and I'm not small by any means!)
– Rear entry double doors
– Fold down dashboard
– Side view cardboard mirrors
– Includes luggage rack, ice cream signs and light bar

The only thing I would like to see different would be a steering wheel. Although we have one that broke of something else so Hailee pretends she is driving her ice cream truck using that!

The best part about Build A Dream Playhouse after the fun is they are designed locally right in Cleveland Ohio!
Build a Dream Playhouses™ was founded by a Cleveland father dedicated to the futures of the City of Cleveland, the State of Ohio, and the imaginations of children. To achieve that, and reflecting on his city’s hard times, he recruited two bright, ambitious, and innovative college students, Andy Carcioppolo and Sam Cahill. In collaboration with the world famous Nottingham-Spirk Design Associates, a group of 3 to 9 year old children, and the Smurfit Stone Container Corporation, Build a Dream Playhouses™ is now proud to introduce to you what we believe to be the most innovative, fresh, and fun playhouses on the market.
It is made with recycled cardboard and is very drurable! The cardboard can be colored on with crayons, markers, paint & decorated in any way your child chooses. Hailee loves to add her stickers she gets awarded with at school to it!

Besides the awesome Imagine Wagon they also have the Snack Shack, Cosmic Cruiser, & Dream Machine as well as Pop N' Play Castle & Kitchen which both look like lots of fun and I love that they can be folded up and stored. Each product description online also has a instruction video that you could use if needed!

Build A Dream is offering one of my readers a product of choice.

Build A Sign Novelty Parking Sign & Birthday Banner Review

I was contacted by Melissa from Build A Sign and was asked to review some items on their site. She allowed me to choose some products I liked. The first item I chose to review was a Novelty Parking Sign. It was so easy to customize the sign the way I wanted to. It started out as a Harley Parking Sign and I transformed it into a Dinosaur Sign for Hailee. I was able to change the font, add clip art, add text, remove text, change the colors of everything & rearrange it all the way I wanted using the Designer tools provided.

I love how my design turned out. I am very happy with the finished product.
Hailee loves it and can not wait to hang it in her room.
She screamed "DINOSAUR" when I opened the package!
I did'nt realize until after I placed the order that I forgot the c in Extinct so pretend its there :)


Build A Sign carries all types of sign, bumper stickers, decals, magnets & more. I will admit I have customized everything on the site and would love to have more products Build A Sign offers.
If you have a business or blog you want to promote or just want to make some cool signs check out Build A Sign.

The next product I choose to review was a Birthday Banner. There are many to choose from that you can customize to your liking. I choose one that could used for multiple themed parties by choosing girly colors. I really wanted to add a dinosaur to it as well but figured it would be better to leave it simple.

I used a design they had and changed the colors up a bit. this sign is a very nice size, 3ft x 6ft and is going to look great hanging up at Hailee's birthday party in April and many years to come! It is vinyl so it is sure to last a long time!

Smartfish Ergo Motion Whirl Desktop Laser Mouse Review & Giveaway

I use my computer alot I mean alot, what can I say I'm addicted. How my desk is set up my mouse is always flying off the keyboard tray when I pull it out. It also looks like it has seen better days. I was so happy when I was sent the Smartfish Whirl Desktop Laser Mouse to review. I opened it immediately, put in the batteries, popped the USB nano-tranceiver into the usb port and used it right away, nothing has to be installed or downloaded. The transceiver easily fits in the bottom of the base of the mouse, making it convenient for traveling if needed.

At first I didn't think I was going to like it, it felt really big. After using it for a few minutes I loved it. It helped my wrist alot. Before my mouse was always in one position the Whirl pivots so your wrist is not always in the same position!



It really feels like your mouse is floating on air! It takes batteries so you have to remember to switch it off when you are not using it. I have the USB nano-tranceiver plugged into the back of my tower and the mouse works fine!

ErgoMotion™ is built on the concept that movement is the key to healthier computing. The medical community has long supported movement to be beneficial to the human body, which promotes blood flow and decreases inflammation—inadequate blood circulation and inflammation are both considered key contributors to RSI. It was Smartfish’s founder, Dr. Jack Atzmon, who’s own experience with RSI lead him to question the effects ergonomic computer products had while he worked. Through Dr. Atzmon’s own research he challenged “fixed-position” products and their claimed benefits, and developed a theory that motion was the solution to true ergonomics.

Smartfish partnered with New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) to study the affects motion would have on a user while they compute. It was the collaboration with HSS that helped develop ErgoMotion™ proving subtle, even incremental movement would increase blood flow and reduce inflammation eliminating the risks of RSI. By applying motion to products, ErgoMotion™ is redefining the future of ergonomics. It is the first technology to actually address the root causes of RSI, and empowering the user to compute healthier.
Besides the Whirl Desktop Laser Mouse I was sent they also have the Whirl Mini Mouse & Engage™ Compact Keyboard with ErgoMotion.
Smartfish is offering one of my readers a Whirl Desktop Laser Mouse.

Monster Jam was AMESOME

We had the opportuniy to attend Monster Jam in Cleveland this past weekend at the Quicken Loans Arena.
We also had Pit Party passes, after we waited in line for which seemed like forever we went into the arena. All the trucks were set up in the middle and Grave Digger and Taz were on the side as well as some quads.

We walked around and took some pictures of the trucks & drivers got a few autographs and headed to meet Grave Diggers driver Carl Van Horn. The line was long but we finally made it. We unfortunatly didnt get a chance to meet Nicole Johnson the driver of Taz. It was awesome a woman driver was there. Hailee really liked seeing her. We also were able to meet some Quad drivers and Hailee loved them more than the truck drivers. She got to sit on some of their quads as well which she really enjoyed.

The Pit Party was a bit hectic. I think they should do two seperate times or not sell as many tickes so everyone gets a chance to meet the drivers without waiting in an hour long line but it was alot of fun.


We went and grabbed some lunch at one of the concessions and headed to our seats. Our seats were perfect, right at the start line. We waited for the show to begin. They had Evel Knievel's granddaughter sing the National Anthem.The drivers held a large American Flag and it was really nice.

The show was amazing. Hailee was up in her seat cheering for Grave Digger and Taz. She had so much fun. The show featured different forms of competiton. We really loved watching the jumps and freestyle. Although we did think the judges were not very good! Hailee was so excited when Grave Digger won but very sad his truck "broke". We enjoyed the show alot more than I thought we would.

Monster Jam is a wonderful show and I recommend that all of you who have the opportunity to go to check it out. You can check the website to see if a show is coming near you. Its a great experience for the whole family!

 A huge THANKS to Feld Entertainment for allowing my family to experience this show!
