Create moving videos and quality photos with #GoProatBestBuy @BestBuy #ad

We were compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. As a camera guy who is relatively athletic I really admire action shots from quality cameras. It’s such an art that I hesitate to call them gadgets, but they are electronics and more often than not that will be the default description. I see the images and videos from the latest GoPro cameras and they’re more than a gadget. It’s a quality, action oriented camera that moves with you where things are really moving.

Test driving the Ford F-150 during our working staycation

We were compensated to review and drive this vehicle. All thoughts are our own. As a family we have big and small things, as well as growing people that are carted around every day. Certainly there are days when we need a truck and the massive amount of storage space. There are big things that I didn’t pick up when we tired the Ford F-150 that I’m kicking myself for. Our experience with the 2014 Ford all new F-150 is that it’s a big truck that can do lots of hauling and typical truck stuff, but also has the safety and creature comforts that one expects from a family vehicle.

KRE-O Transformers Age of Extinction Grimlock Street Attack Set review

We do love some building block sets. KRE-O has a bunch of new sets that are themed around Transformers. One of the new sets aimed at younger children is the Age of Extinction Grimlock Street Attack Set. It features Grimlock, a break-away Chinese gate, one gold knight Optimus Prime Kreon and two Vehicon Kreons.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Milano Starship review

By now you know that we’re fans of Guardians of the Galaxy. We’re not purist fans that are true to the characters that originated back in the day. We’ve been following them since issue #1 of the re-boot comic- not that I’m pretending to be a purist or uber fan by pointing that out or anything. We were sent the Guardians of the Galaxy Milano Spaceship to play with, possibly review and imagine ourselves as Star-Lord, Rocket or Groot.

Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon review: action figure or collectible?

Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon is 10” of smack talking genetically modified plastic raccoon that moves when his gun fires. Press his leg or the button on this gun and his torso will shake forward while the gun lights up. This is a fun toy-and our kids love playing with it, but there is something about it that blurs my line between an action figure and collectible.

Naptime DIY: Install the Kohler Touchless Toilet Flush Kit

We received product for review purposes. Unless we have a toy dolphin in the toilet when we flush, then we received product for review porpoises. All thoughts are our own. The Kohler Touchless Toilet Flush Kit can turn any toilet into a touchless one. In our marriage my wife is the clean one. Me, I’m the one who cleaned the house with a leaf blower and lived in a house while renovating it. However, now that I’m married the clean lifestyle is the one for me, so I’m told. The Kohler Touchless Toilet Flush Kit eliminates the need to touch the toilet when you flush it. But is it really that simple to install?

Bug-A-Salt fires salt and your flyswatter to kill flies dead-giveaway

The Bug-A-Salt is a very clever product, with a great name that should only be used by adults. That is worth mentioning because our oldest loves, absolutely loves to chase flies around the house with a flyswatter. Hilarity ensues, but the fly always wins as he goes off to tell his friends about our wonderful garbage. The Bug-A-Salt is a pump activated device that fires salt when you pull the trigger. Flies die, there is no splatter and you feel like Private Hudson from Aliens.
