Upcoming Week of Reviews Preview

Xtreme Cycle Moto-Cam
Photo-A-Day #4148

This past week I focused on getting the house in order so that we can show it, sell it and move. I also have a growing pile of items to review. The pile needs to get smaller. With the kids heading to school the week after this one I’m going to have to get things going if I want them to be a part of the videos. Especially if I want Eva to be a part of each video. Our time together gets so limited once the school year starts and it will continue to be limited especially with all the homework she will get as she goes from year to year. I hope that we made the most of our Summer time together.

I’m learning how to drive that Xtreme RC Cycle Moto-Cam. I took it with me to work yesterday and drove it around the parking lot in the morning before I headed home. There is tons of space so it was great for riding. I’m going to try and take it to a park tomorrow and film some stunts. I’ll try not to hit my tripod this time.

Ladybug Snacks


Photo-A-Day #3343

Let’s just say that I have a greater appreciation for what my wife goes through when the kids don’t want to eat what she has made.

I’ve been putting the latest Cooper & Kid Kit through its paces with the kids and with that I decided to make all of the food suggestions from the kit. So, yesterday I went shopping with Andrew and got everything needed to make the snack, the drink, the main meal and the dessert. I spent a couple of hours working on the meal only to have Eva ask me about every single ingredient and then not drink the drink, eat the snack and she sort of picked at her main meal then she barely ate the dessert. I never thought that she was so picky before but she didn’t like one aspect of at least every item. I’ll give her a pass on the drink since it I made it with Bold Ginger Ale. I think I would have skipped Ginger Ale all together and substituted Sprite or something else. That probably would have been more pleasing and she ‘might’ have drank it. And it was a complete shock that she no longer likes black olives and hummus. It was frustrating to say the least.

The overall theme of the latest Cooper & Kid Kit is Bugs. It is “The Good, The Bad and The Bugly”. Each meal item had a bug related theme including the main meal of little bugs made out of mini meatballs and chow mein noodles. Everything looked cute and was pretty tasty. Dessert was Dirt cups so how do you go wrong with that? Unless your kid doesn’t like pudding, what kid doesn’t like pudding, oh yeah… mine.
