Chasing Away the Chill with Reverse Charades!

Hey Neighbors!

Remember Reverse Charades? Well here we get to share them again, but this time it includes a giveaway! Reverse Charades is seriously so much fun! We took it to Chicago with us this last trip. So, while the boys were playing football and basketball, the girls and ladies all gathered together and played Reverse Charades. Talk about chasing away the chill! All the acting and giggling helped keep us warm! Seriously this is a great game to play inside while the winter weather spreads it's chill outside.

To play Reverse Charades you divide up into two teams. Each team takes a turn. Team One chooses one person to guess, while all the others try to act out the word. One person from Team Two flips the cards, which have the words/phrases to act out on them. When they get one right, they move on to the next card. There is a timer to use, or you can set your own time limit. Once Team One is done, they swap places and Team Two takes over. The team that guesses the most words/phrases in the pre-set time limit wins. Now the only other rule is no talking among the players acting out the words/phrases. We personally set down that you can not use props. Make your own rules and have fun! The cards come with over 700 words/phrases. I am waiting for additional card sets!

Wait until you play! I mean how hard is it to act out "underwear", "New York City", "javelin", Cow tipping", and so many more. Just the looks on their faces when they see what they have to act out is hysterical!

There is also an app for your iPhone or Droid that have more words/phrases. So, when you run out of cards, download the app!

The entire family enjoys playing Reverse Charades! The family that came and visited us just before New Years had so much fun playing, that they had already told everyone there about the game. I know my neighbors will enjoy this game, not just to Chase Away the Chill of winter, but year round!

Want a chance to play Reverse Charades? One neighbor will win their own game of Reverse Charades!

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
