Mommy Octopus

A friend of mine has been trying to narrow down her food sensitivities and intolerances for the past few years and decided recently to try the Advanced Food Intolerance Labs offer to see what she is sensitive to in her pantry and fridge. It’s simple – you just send in 10 hairs and they send your results through email.

She was so pleased with her results and said that they completely made sense. I’m going to give it a whirl next to see what mine are!

Our family really enjoys playing board games, card games, and learning games. We often take them with us camping or on trips. We have a range of ages in our family – 2 adults, and then 5 children from ages 5-17. Below are some of our favorite games on our shelves. If you have a favorite or any experience with these games, feel free to leave a comment and tell me which ones are your family’s favorites.

Left Center Right – A very quick but fun game! Simple concept, too! You just have to learn the directions of left and right and then you can play! Fun for the whole family!

Labyrinth – this game has a board that changes with every move. It’s a strategy and our youngest has been able to play it with us since about 4 years old.

Gobblet Gobblers – think of Tic-Tac-Toe, however with a twist! Larger “gobblers” can eat smaller ones so the game takes more time and thought. Grandma loved playing it, too!

Clumsy Thief Junior – we have been playing this game almost every night lately! It’s a competitive and quick moving game that brings lots of laughter! My 5 year old picked up the concepts quickly. This is his favorite!

Monopoly Deal – I love the game Monopoly, but this can be played in 15 minutes! Definitely more of a strategy game to play the right cards.

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza – This game is hilarious! With each move, you may have to do a motion before playing and be careful to do the right one! So much fun and great for groups.

Codenames – We first played this with another family when we had a game night. This one takes a lot of thought and is great for adults and teens while the younger kids play something else.

Throw Throw Burrito – Get this one! If you don’t get any other games, this one is worth it! If you want to throw a burrito at someone, you will love it!

Castle Panic – This is one of my 14 year old son’s favorite games. It takes strategy and thought, but he really likes it.

Exploding Kittens – one of those games that are fun to play but don’t require thought. This one is fun for groups!
