What We Thought:
While I was terribly confused on what to do, the kids jumped right in making up there own smash’em crash’em games…I joined in of course, who wouldn’t…I made 50pts in my first shot – dead center! Of course, i had other things to tend to, but they continued to play though out the day, making up new games, and seeing who the better hero was! All in all I think it’s a great game that the kids would enjoy all summer long, and the grown up kids would enjoy collecting the fun collectible characters! Our kids love anything super hero so this is a great addition to the kids’ toys, plus it’s not too pricey starting at approximately $9.99!

Parents magazine today revealed the Top 10 Best Hotel Chains For Families, perfect for family road trips, holiday travels or weekend getaways. Parents’ magazine editors and travel experts evaluated 60-plus hotel brands across the country to identify chains offering families great space and comfort, high satisfaction ratings, affordable rates, and entertaining kids’ programs. The full article is available in the November 2015 issue of the magazine and on Parents.com.
According to Parents, the year’s best hotel chains for families include:
Best Budget Chains
Residence Inn – With 650+ U.S. locations, the hotel offers extensive in-room amenities and a seasonal “Residence Inn Mix” program, featuring food-truck fare, restaurant pop-in tastings, and a backyard BBQ, depending on the night and location. (Fall rates for a Studio Suite start at $84 per night; residenceinn.marriott.com).
Hyatt Place – Perfect for keeping kids healthy on vacation, these properties offer a free breakfast buffet which has expanded in most locations to include more nutritious options, many packed with fruit, veggies, and protein. (Fall rates for a room with two queen beds start at $134 per night; hyattplace.com).
SpringHill Suites – Known for its roomy living areas and creative breakfast options, the chain’s special touch lies in a showcase of more than 2,000 pieces of artwork displayed throughout its lobbies. (Fall rates for a suite with two double beds start at $79 per night; marriott.com/springhillsuites).
Hilton Garden Inn – The hotel’s redesigned rooms are more family-friendly than ever, providing more counter space, clothes storage, charging stations, and seating. Hate waiting in line? Use the HHonors app to check-in and choose your room from your smartphone – you may decide on a room near the indoor pool, for instance – then swing by the front desk for the key. (Fall rates for a room with two queen beds start at $129 per night;hiltongardeninn.com).
Wingate by Wyndham – With starting rates of less than $100 per night (and free breakfast!) in many areas, you can’t beat the price of a standard room here. The brand also has a unique loyalty program that allows you to redeem some of your points for discounts on your stay. (Fall rates for a room with two double beds start at $129 per night;wingateatlanta.com).
Best Mid-Priced Chains
Embassy Suites Hotel by Hilton – Every room is a suite here, so forget about splurging on an upgrade for more space and privacy. Additional perks include a free nightly snack and drink reception, training for all staff on interacting with kids, and a new program offering baby care essentials at some locations. (Fall rates for a suite with two double beds start at $189 per night; embassysuites.com).
Loews Hotels & Resorts – From receiving early admission to Orlando theme parks so they can beat the crowds to attending “Farm School” at an organic farm to care for local animals and vegetables in San Diego, families take advantage of the coolest partnerships to keep the kids happy. (Fall rates for a room with two double beds start at $249 per night; loewshotels.com).
Omni Hotels & Resorts – Omni has a knack for taking old, historic resorts and restoring them into family meccas with plenty of adventure. Kids will have tons of fun with the free photo book and game-filled backpack they receive at check in. (Fall rates for rooms with two double beds start at $229 per night; omnihotels.com).
Hyatt House – Many locations offer two-bedroom, two-bathroom suites for what you’d pay for a single room at a higher-end chain. Plus, all room types come with a full kitchen and all the tools you need to cook and eat a great meal. (Fall rates for a one-bedroom suite start at $159 per night; hyatthouse.com).
Sheraton Hotels & Resorts – Sheraton offers the same features as its pricier Starwood cousins, Westin and Aloft, like “sweet sleeper” beds and cribs, pools, and an all-inclusive dining program for kids 12 and under. (Fall rates for suites start at $249 per night and a room with two double beds at $189 per night; starwoodhotels.com/sheraton).

With Halloween right around the corner we think about two things…Candy & Costumes! With three boys we are always invited to some sort of Halloween get together…I recently had the opportunity to do a costume review from HalloweenCostumes.com. I let my oldest pick out an outfit to review…there was so many choices we were litterly looking and deciding for over an hour! He ended up deciding on a Ninja outfit…then it was down to 10 different ninja outfits… finally we picked the perfect one… i thought us girls took a while to pick an outfit..lol…He ended up picking the Kids Arctic Force Ninja Costume. He was super excited and couldn’t wait for it to come in! Every knock at the door, and every package he was like “is it mine?!” Finally came HIS package…he couldn’t wait to tear it open and try it on…he was even more excited at the fact that it came just in time for the Halloween School function that night! I really like the fast shipping, you just don’t get that a lot these days! The costume is made of a quality fabric, and fits him well. I’m sure after all the parties and trick-or-treating is done it will still have many more days of around the house play! I’m sure my middle one will be able to wear it next year which always make a mom of multiple children happy…
