Fobbles – Fog Filled Bubbles for Cool Party Fun!

Bubbles have always been a fun experience in my family. As far back as I remember, there has always been bubbles at family gatherings, parties and picnics. I love the bubble machines that make it easy to have a wall of bubble action – no big breaths needed! 

Froggy’s Fog is bringing a new innovative bubble to the party scene. Introducing Fobbles, a fog filled bubble! I had the chance to play with Fobbles and they are the coolest looking bubbles ever!

Coming soon to the Froggy’s Fog machine lineup is the Froggy’s Fog Fobbles F2 machine. Check out the newest version listed HERE! This portable unit is an ideal size for a home party. It is very simple to set up. It takes two solutions, one for the fog and one for the bubbles. The technology also allows for a connected timer or a remoter control for the best fogging machine action. It takes a bit of warm up time for the machine to start producing the fog. Once we had the solutions in place, a press of the manual button and the fog generates. It creates a lot of fog! This will fill a room for a Halloween party. Simply turning on the bubble switch activates the fog filled bubbles! The bubbles start flying out filled with the fog! They are the coolest looking bubbles! It makes a lot of them! We had fog bubbles floating all over our backyard, which my dogs loved to chase. The bubbles lasted a long time and floated a good distance. They also look amazing when they pop. A puff of smoke is released. We used the machine outdoors but I imagine it would look fantastic in a dark room with a little lighting. The Froggy’s Fog Fobbles F2 machine is versatile as it will create only fog, fog bubbles, haze and plain bubbles. The solutions are non toxic for safety. This is a fun packed addition to any party. 

I am excited about my nephews upcoming Graduation party. The Fobbles will be in action. Consider the fun at Halloween parties! The fun ideas are endless. 

Keep watch on the Froggy’sFog website for the release of the Froggy’s Fog Fobbles F2 machine.

NATIONAL DONUT DAY FUN FACTS

  

•   National Donut Day commemorates the “donut lassies,” female Salvation Army volunteers who provided writing supplies, stamps, clothes-mending, home-cooked meals, and of course, donuts, for soldiers on the front lines 
•   With limited resources, these treats were fried, only seven at a time. The Salvation Army’s Ensign, Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance, cleverly thought of frying donuts in soldiers’ helmets. Approximately 250 Salvation Army volunteers provided assistance to American soldiers in France, starting in 1917 during WWI. 
•   Entenmann’s^® Bakery produces more than 780 million donuts a year to keep up with the demands of Entenmann’s donut lovers nationwide. 
• The Rich Frosted Donut has been Entenmann’s^® #1 seller since its introduction in 1973. 
•  The Salvation Army is located in more than 120 countries worldwide. In 2015, nearly 30 million Americans received assistance from The Salvation Army's 3,500 officers, 60,700 employees and 3.5 million volunteers.

My Thoughts 

My family was so excited about National Donut Day, we decided to get started a little early. Of course, we had a little help from Entemann's. While the limited edition donuts weren't available yet in our area, I got the closet thing I could find. These chocolate coated donuts are covered in sprinkles and are absolutely delicious. Like every cake from Entemann's, they are always super fresh and practically melt in your mouth.

All the goodies in our package were fun too. My daughter just loved the plush donut. He even has a bite out of him already. All of this was enough to get anyone in the mood to party.  All my children enjoyed the donuts. From pre-schoolers to high-schoolers, they all agree that they are the best donuts in town. They are fun for a snack or a quick breakfast when you're on the go.

Best of Me Tea Party with Teavana @FHEInsiders @FoxHomeEnt @BestOfMeMovie #BestOfTea

This weekend, my family and I celebrated the release of the Best of Me DVD/Blu-ray combo with a fun tea party! My teen daughter and I invited over some of our friends and had an amazing girl's day, but before I tell you about the party, here is a little info on the movie.

Based on the #1 New York Times Best Seller from celebrated author Nicholas Sparks comes this tender, romantic drama about the timeless power of love. When former high school sweethearts Dawson and Amanda (James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan) meet at a loved one's funeral 20 years after tragedy separated them, their love is reignited. As they recall and relive the past, they come to a deeper understanding about the choices they've made. Also starring Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato, and featuring beautiful scenery along with music by Lady Antebellum, The Best of Me is a powerfully romantic story of love, hope and second chances.
 For the Home Entertainment release, the “Tears of Joy” Edition Blu-ray and DVD will include an all-new storyline and “Storybook” Alternate Ending so Amanda and Dawson finally get that second chance at love.  

 Now, let me tell you about the tea party. First off, we received tons of cool party favors including candles, mason jar mugs, Teavana tea and more. I handed these out to our guests as soon as they arrived. We had a few snacks ready, and then we got started on brewing our tea.Teavana supplied everything we needed.

 Teavana sent us their limited edition First Blush Tea  which is specifically designed tea for Valentine’s Day featuring naturally scented Jasmine green tea blended with floral orchid oolong complemented by luscious strawberries, crisp rhubarb and effervescent undertones of bubbly rosé.
 In each cup of Teavana tea you can find delicious and exotic flavors, and is the perfect pairing to a night in with your girlfriends.

Our tea was simple to drew and delicious! We each enjoyed a cup in our mason jar mugs. There was even natural raw sugar to add to it. The tea is sweet and would taste just as great chilled as it did hoy.  The brewer is the perfect way to make the perfect cup every time.

Once our tea was ready to drink, we sat down to enjoy the movie. Best of Me is a romance inspired by the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name. It some ways it's a lot like his other movies. Rich girl, poor guy, and parents who don't approve. They wind up going their separate ways, but years later meet again at a friend's funeral. Throughout the movie we get glimpses of how their past relationship fell part through flashblacks. In the present, Dawson regrets that he didn't fight for her and Amanda is trapped in a loveless marriage.  James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan were both amazing in their roles. They had a chemistry between them that seems to seep off the screen. Overall, an amazing romance with parts that will make you laugh and cry. Be sure to keep your tissues handy, even if you do watch the "Tears of Joy" addition instead of the version with the not so happily ever after.

Thanks to Fox Entertainment and Teavana for making this a day we're never forgot. Make sure to check out Teavana's website for some delicious blends of your own, and be sure to follow their social media.  And don't forget to grab a copy of Best of Me on Bluray or DVD.

#Sponsored - The New Age Mama Household is Showing Our #Disneyside @HomeCelebration

 ***I received free products in order to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own.***

My family loves to show our Disneyside, and we proved it by hosting our very own Disney themed party. Friends stopped by to play games, have a few snacks and talk about all things Disney, including our past and future visits the parks.

I've only been to Disney once, and I actually won the trip in a sweepstakes. I had just split up from my first husband, and it was a nice treat for my children. One of our favorite rides was the Buzz Lightyear amusement, and of course the traditional "Its a Small World" ride. This was so long ago, it was before I had a digital camera, but we definitely made some great memories. I'm hoping to take all my kids again soon, but in the meantime, we still show our Disneyside in lots of fun ways. We own every Disney movie on DVD or Blueray, and everyone in the family has at least one Mickey Mouse shirt, which of course we wore to our party.

We invited a few friends over to help spread the Disney cheer, and enjoy some cake and games.

 We did try to make a Micky Mouse cake.  I've never been good at baking. This was supposed to be a tie dye cake, so even before I broke it, it was a dismal failure...

 Luckily, I have able to find some cupcakes with one our favorite Disney movies on it! Frozen!

Everyone enjoyed some cake and milk, then we went on to play some activities. The Disney word searches were a big hit.

But I think our favorite game was pin the smile on Micky!  Everyone loved that one.

Of course our guests also got to go home with some parting gifts. There were pencils, tattoos, stickers and nail polish for the girls.

Some of the kids also got to take home adorable princess pets toys. 

For the grown ups, there were planning guide to help them start to plan their next Disney vacation and cool sample packs courtesy of HP, so they can print their pictures of their trip to make lasting memories.

Overall, our party was a huge hit and one more magical Disney moment added to our family memories. It's not hard to show your Disneyside when you love Disney as much we do!
