Glass Water Bottle from Reuseit.com Review

I have a cool product for you all. I was able to review a glass water bottle. 

Here is some product info:

Along with plastic bags, plastic bottles are one of the most prevalent sources of pollution found on our beaches. Plus, many studies show that the quality of bottled water may be no better than tap water. We help you reduce wasteful consumption of disposable beverage bottles with our huge selection of high-quality bottles that are all BPA and phthalate free. All our reusable water bottles save you money while saving precious natural resources by cutting down on the trillions of cans and bottles trashed each year. 

My take on the product:

We love water bottles in our household. Since we like to do a lot of outdoor activities, we get thirsty and like to have some water with us. My daughter also likes to use one when she has her dance classes. 

I was given the choice of some different glass water bottles - not just the one's pictured above (check website for selection.) But my daughter wanted one of these - she picked the red one shown above.

I really like the fact that it is BPA free. And it seems so natural. I never buy plastic disposable water bottles. And love using reusable ones. This glass one is terrific, because it isn't plastic or metal. And doesn't have that after taste. I can especially taste that on metal type water bottles. It is made out of really durable glass, so you can take it with you and have great tasting water, just like you would at home. We have been using it a lot since we got it and it's a really nice bottle. Check them out for yourself!

I was given the the opportunity to pick out a t-shirt from the site FUNNY IRISH T-SHIRTS. I browsed through the shirts and thought some of them were hilarious. I figured these would be more appropriate for adults then kids. So I asked my husband if he would be interested in one of the shirts.

He decided on this one: 

This will be really fun - especially to wear on St. Patrick's day. If you are looking for a funny Irish t-shirt check out this site. They have some really funny ones. And in tons of styles, sizes and a huge selection of colors. My husband actually got this in a Military Green. Check it out!

MathBlaster.com Review & Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to review the website Mathblaster.com. This is a new website that was recently launched from the makers of Jumpstart.com. I've heard of Jumpstart.com and my daughter has played that before, but I wasn't aware of Mathblaster.com

Here is some product info for you:

 For more than 15 years, Knowledge Adventure has set the standard in kids’ software by creating the finest educational products for use in the home and the classroom. In addition to www.JumpStart.com, we have launched our next browser-based virtual world at www.MathBlaster.com for kids ages 6-12. Kids can create avatars called Blasters for themselves as they become the newest cadets at Blaster Academy. After completing arcade-style math challenges and racing through high-speed missions, they become members of the Intergalactic Space Patrol and explore a futuristic world, voyage to strange new planets and discover wacky alien races, all while practicing their math skills. This site was just launched last January, and we continue to add more challenges, planets, and math games. I encourage you to check it out at www.MathBlaster.com.

My Take on the product:

When I first mentioned to my daughter trying out a new website, she was skeptical at first - because it had the word "math" in it. So I decided to try it for myself. I logged on to Mathblaster.com and made an Avatar. Which was fun to do, then I proceeded to play some games. One game I played was called Hyper Blast Training. It is pictured below:




Here is the description of this game:

• HyperBlast Training (located in the Academy)
• Blasters race through a high-speed tunnel packed with alien robots, razor sharp obstacles and mind-bending math! Players master math facts with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division levels.

This game was really cool. Not only did it incorporate math but it was a fun and fast arcade game too.

After trying this game I told my daughter that she should really give MathBlasters a try. She logged on and of course changed the Avatar I had created for her. She likes picking out the outfits, etc. Then she tried some games.

Of course she really loved the website and she has wants to play everyday now. I asked her what 3 of her favorite things on the site are and she picked the Space Port - the main hub of the space craft & where there are Red Alerts which I guess are fun. The game Ice Cubed and the Mutt pod - where you can create your own pet. She has a little dragon of some sorts she has to take care of. (all pictured in order below)

 

I would really recommend this website to kids 6-12 - my daughter is almost 12 and she really likes it so it is not as she would say "to babyish." And she had reservations at first because of the math aspect of it. But Mathblaster.com makes the math fun so it is subtly incorporated into the game. So kids are using their math skills but in a fun way. I really think technology such as this is a great way to teach kids.

I also found the Game Guide helpful - which tells you what the games are and the curriculum taught in them. And the Math Blaster Blog which updates you on new things going on in the game. Which I better tell her when she gets home - I just read on there you can make your own room. Which I don't know if she is aware of that.
