Get To Know Mom Better This Year With Table Topics

We all know that communication is key to a successful, healthy relationship regardless of the type of relationship--parent-child, couple, friends, etc. Sometimes the hardest part is coming up with things to talk about. Well TableTopics is here to help you out.

TableTopics (Ruby Mine, Inc) has sets of conversation starters to help you out in most any situations. They come in TableTopics cubes sets (which contain 135 conversation starters and come in a 4 inch acrylic cube), and a TableTopics To Go or travel version (which has 40 conversation starters and come in a plastic slip case). They has options for all age groups. TableTopics also have Idea Cards--which give you 80 ideas of fun things to do in 3 current arenas--Date Night, Family Time & My Time--simply pick a card and go for it! Another option is their Party Topics--where they have their conversation starters written on: Scatter Cards, Napkins, Place Cards, or Coasters--perfect for any party! They also have Journal Topics which have 100 jump-start questions on the top of 100 pages to make journaling easier. They are currently available in 4 options: My Life, My Wedding, My Pregnancy and Teen.

The three newest editions of TableTopics include the Moms & Daughters TableTopics Cube, Campfire TableTopics To Go, and Graduation Scatter Cards.

I was given the Moms & Daughters TableTopics Cube to check out for this review. I like that the set has a classy look with the acrylic cube, so you could leave it setting out for anytime use. The questions were engaging. Here is the description on the Moms & Daughters version:

This collection of light and lively questions reminds mothers and daughters that they share a lot more than a family resemblance. The topics are sure to spark laughs, memories, wisdom, and a few surprises. Because, believe it or not, mothers were once daughters too.

135 questions, created for ages 12 and up.

When you brag about me, what do you say?
Did I try to be too cool around your friends?
Would you change anything about the way you look?

No rules--just great conversation. Have fun and discover something new about your family, friends and even yourself!

I love the idea of TableTopics--there are a couple other versions that I am very interested in for myself and as gifts for others. I understand the importance of communication and I understand how difficult it can be to get a meaningful conversation going as well, so these are a great option to help that out, without the structure of an entire game.

Be sure the check out TableTopics for more information and to see all the options available. I am sure you can find a version that would fit with your life!

Thank you to Table Topics for my sample used in this review, opinions are honest. Review by Michelle.

Get Mom Some Wall Candy Art This Mother's Day

WallCandy Arts are unique wall decals that can artfully decorate a room in an instant. WallCandy decals are easy to apply--peel & stick, removable & reusable. They are made from non-toxic, lead-free, VOC-free PVC vinyl with a low tack adhesive.

What I find so unique about WallCandy Arts is that many of the designed are geared toward the young (or young at heart) and many of the designs are usable beyond just sticking a decoration to the wall--they turn your wall into a usable chalkboard or whiteboard--how cool is that! They also have a glow-n-dark decal that would be pretty fun and I love their "smarts' design--perfect for infant stimulation visually. WallCandy Arts also carries some fun furniture, housewares and other fun things.

I was given the Chalkboard Heart set of decals to check out. The set contains 1 large heart (22 1/4" x 19"), 2 medium hearts, 5 small hearts and "XOXO" all made from a vinyl chalkboard material and the chalk is included. I think they are adorable. They stick well to my walls and my walls are heavily textured (which makes the writing bumpy) but they work great on my refrigerator and now I have a nice sweet chalkboard on my fridge for my "honey-do" list. I love that they are re-positionable and you store them right back in the package they came in.

I can totally see how great they would work for decorating children's rooms, toy rooms and such because you can easily change the look of the room without having to repaint! It would be an easy way to add a chalkboard or a whiteboard to a room without the hassel, plus it is temporary so you can remove it when it is not longer needed!

If you are looking for a creative way to decorate your house for a child (or with some fun elements) without having to get out paint and such, I definitely recommend checking out what WallCandy Arts has to offer!

Thank you to WallCandy Arts for my sample used in this review, opinions are honest. Review by Michelle.

Do Tell Family Relationship Game Review & Giveaway

Do Tell: Instant Family Fun, The Hilarious Game of Connection, Bringing Families Together Across the Generations is a board game designed by Do Tell Enterprises that encourages and strengthens the lines of communication between family members. In today's crazy lifestyles, time to sit down and chat and discuss happenings has gone by the wayside, Do Tell brings this much needed dialog back to the table and a fun and non-threatening manner!

Do Tell (the family version) is designed for 2-8 players aged 8+. It takes about 5 minutes to learn how to play the game and about 45 minutes to play through the game. Here is the synopsis from the back of the game box:

Family time is precious. Do Tell changes ordinary family time into quality family time. Specifically designed to enhance family communication and understanding. Do Tell opens family members up to each other in fun and surprising ways.

Just roll the dice, move your token and pick a card---it's easy! The fun really begins as each player does or tells things about themselves.

It's not about trivia or proving that you have a great memory. It's about having fun and getting to really know the people you love.

When you play Do Tell: it's family connection in 3D--real people, real life and real family!

Here's what people are saying:

"It helps parents and kids open up to each other."

"Do Tell uses laughter so that I can get to know my family better."

"I got to hear my kids' true feelings."

Boys and girls, moms and dads...all love to play Do Tell.

The game that bonds families together across generations

I was given the family version of Do Tell to check out for this review. My child is a bit too young to really play it with us, but my husband and I went through the game--and we had a great time with it but we both thought this game would be great for when our child is a little bit older and a bit harder to reach. I think this would be a great game for any family that has children ages 8+--it would be a great and fun way to open the much needed lines of communication between the parents and the children. I would definitely recommend Do Tell to any family who have children over the age of 8 (or old enough to understand the questions) to 88 or more.

You can check out more information on the Family Version of Do Tell as well as the Original Version on www.dotellthegame.com. You can purchase either version of Do Tell on Amazon.
