With Easter coming this weekend it is time to start thinking about what to put inside your baskets. In our house we try to limit the overall amount of candy that is put into the kid’s baskets. However, you can’t go having a Easter basket without jelly beans and now Mike and Ike makes some great jelly beans. We received a bunch of these new jelly beans to check out and review. Opinions are our own. There are two flavors of the jelly beans: Assorted Fruit and Tangy Twister. There is also a limited-edition Mike and Ike box called Easter Treats.
Easter baskets also mean fun toys and games for the kids as well. I picked up some Crayola Sidewalk Chalk and some Color Alive coloring books. This way the kids have something to do other than to tear through a ton of candy.
Another thing that I have been doing ever since the kids were small was to hide Hot Wheels cars in eggs for the egg hunt. This year I picked up eight cars and eight large shiny eggs. This way each of the kids get 2 cars each (I’m including our niece and nephew in this as well). I explain more in today’s vlog.
When Samsung held their meeting last month and announced the upcoming release of the Galaxy S7 Edge I knew that I wanted to upgrade to that phone. So, last week I placed the order to upgrade my phone. I expected it to arrive on the date of release but that didn’t happen. Instead it took an extra week. But that is okay. I had plenty of time today to work on setting it up today.
There are many cool features to this phone. I just scratched the surface of what the phone can do. I set up Samsung Pay and that gave me a couple of special deals like a $30 gift card just for using the service. Setting it up also gave me a big discount on some Samsung equipment for the phone including a wireless charging base.
There are also a bunch of other fun options like being able to record video games on the phone which will come in handy when I make gameplay videos and then also the ability to take “Live” photos. These photos capture a little video right before you take the image and then you can play them back to show how the video looked before the photo was taken. The daily photo is the end result of one of those type of photos.
We also had time today to finally get to play the Disney Infinity Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set. It is a pretty cool way to set up gameplay and the execution is perfect. We had a lot of fun playing together. I look forward to playing through story mode and also playing the game in versus mode with the family.
