I received an Iron Man Smartphone Stand (aff link) from Toy Island to use and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Iron Man is my go to super hero. I’m a big fan. So, when I was offered a Smartphone Stand that uses an app to look like Tony Stark/Iron Man I was excited to try it out. This is a toy for kids ages 8 and up and so the app is rather simple. You can set alarms, tap the face of Iron Man/Tony Stark and tilt the toy around. Iron Man is funny and cocky as I would expect him to be. I’ve played with it a bit and haven’t gone through all of the 50 phrases and animations.

The device also has an opening so there is access to connect the charger so at night you can pop you smartphone into the stand and connect the charger, play with Iron man for a bit and then put him into sleep mode, make sure that you set the alarm and you are good to go overnight. You can see more about it in the vlog below.

Wizards and Sorcerers Birthday

House Gryffindor
Photo-A-Day #4211

Today was Eva’s birthday party. It was a Harry Potter themed party. Allison did a great job with the party. She made floating candles, wands for the kids to paint and a sorting hat ceremony. The kids also watched part of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Eva was so excited about everything all day. She showed such enthusiasm for everything. Her friends and family gave her some great gifts and many were Harry Potter themed. She just loves the series so much and reading the books is one of her favorite things to do. I know that she’s excited to wear her Hermione Granger costume again for Halloween.

After the party we got some pizza and watched the rest of Harry Potter. I was able to take two hours off from work and go in later so I could spend a little extra time at home with the family. Then it was time for showers and baths for the kids and I went to my office and opened up one of the TWO Marvel Collector Corps Doctor Strange boxes. for some strange reason I had two boxes sent to me. The weird thing is that the order numbers are sequential but when I go to my account there is only the one order for one of those order numbers. I tried looking up the other order number but I could not. I have no idea how that happened. So, I unboxed the one box and inside there were some great items. There was a Doctor Strange mug, tshirt, exclusive comic book cover and an exclusive Funko Pop of Doctor strange in his astral form levitating so the cloak of levitation is what is actually holding him up. It is a really great pop, although I think I would have preferred the Blue of the comic than the yellow of the movie for the Pop!. There was also a Doctor Strange Patch and an eye of Agamotto pin in the box. It was a pretty decent box, too. I now have most of the Doctor Strange related Pops that have been released.
