Win 4 Tickets to Monster Jam at the Rogers Centre January 16th & 17th!

Monster Jam Maple Leaf graphic 600x315 (2)

We have written one letter to Santa this year and have had two visits with him, and each time my son has asked for a giant monster truck for Christmas. He was a good boy a couple weeks ago so I actually bought him a huge monster truck, to which he informed me later that night that Santa was going to bring him an even BIGGER monster truck.

The good news is that he is going to Monster Jam in Toronto in January, and although he won’t get to take one of those trucks home, I am thinking that will satisfy his desire for having a huge monster truck!

Last year we were pretty bummed we couldn’t make Monster Jam, so we made it a priority this year. Monster Jam is taking place at the Rogers Centre on January 16th and 17th, and if you are still looking for a great gift idea for Christmas then tickets to this may be it!

Click on the image below to pick up some tickets of your own to the Saturday night show at 7:00pm, or the 2:00pm show on Sunday.

As a mother of a boy, I am learning to love trucks and dirt. It turns out girls often love trucks and dirt too, as proven by the parents I have mentioned that we are heading to Monster Jam to who have girls who want to go as well.

The show is family-friendly, and it’s going to be a lot of fun! For more information about Monster Jam, visit their website here!

Now it’s contest time! Who would like to win 4 tickets to Monster Jam in Toronto the weekend of January 16th and 17th? Enter to win via the Rafflecopter app below. The contest closes on December 23rd, 2015 and the winner will be announced the same day. The contest is open to Canadian residents only. Good luck to everyone who enters!

Review of the Little Live Pets Lil’ Mouse House and Play Trail + Enter to Win a Lil’ Mouse House

2015 holiday gift guide for kids

We have been toy testing again at our house, and this time we tested out the Little Live Pets Lil’ Mouse House and Play Trail.

Review of the Little Live Pets Lil' Mouse House and Play Trail + Enter to Win a Lil' Mouse House

Last week we tested out the Lil’ Turtle Tank and my son is still playing with this toy everyday! It’s his own little pet that luckily I don’t actually need to feed or bathe (bonus!).

The Little Live Pets Lil’ Mouse House is pretty darn cute. The little mouse includes batteries (huge bonus!), and it’s ready to run! This little guy is so fast it’s hard to keep up with him, but every once in a while he makes little squeaking noises, pauses, and runs in a different direction.

My son kept wanting to let him run loose in the house, but this little guy was fast so I insisted on keeping him in his house. The mouse also runs around on the floor as well, it was just a self-preservation tactic to keep him locked down in his house on my part.

We also tried out the Little Live Pets Lil’ Mouse Play Trail which was a lot of fun because the mouse had so many more places to run! I really like that the mouse stops and turns in another directions so it’s not just running around in circles.

Both items were a big hit, and now we have a turtle and a mouse as pets in our home, and they are the best kind because I don’t need to keep them alive!

How would you like to have your own Little Live Pets Lil’ Mouse House for your child? It would make a great Christmas present! Enter below to win one of your own.

Tag a friend in the comments on my Facebook post here enter to win a Lil’ Mouse House. You can enter multiple times as long as each person you tag is different, and this contest is open to residents of Canada until Friday, December 18th at 9:00am. Good luck to everyone who enters!

Our First Toronto Marlies Game + Win 4 Tickets to the Toronto Marlies Boxing Classic Game at the ACC

I can’t believe we had never been to a Toronto Marlies game before last weekend!

Our son pretty much loves every sport under the sun, but lately he has been focusing on skating lessons and is starting to get interested in hockey.

This past weekend we took him to his first ever hockey game. It was pretty exciting that his first was at the Air Canada Centre with great seats for the Toronto Marlies game.

Our First Toronto Marlies Game + Win 4 Tickets to the Toronto Marlies Boxing Classic Game at the ACC

Before the game there were some fun activities for the kids because on this particular afternoon it was the Marlies Holiday Bash and Teddy Bear Toss. The Holiday Bash was presented by Carter’s | Oshkosh, and this game was special because every person who brought a teddy bear would receive a free ticket to a future Marlies game, and the first time the Marlies scored everyone would throw them on the ice so they could be collected for charity.

Santa was also there to visit with the kids (and there were quite a few adults in line!), there was a candy cane toss, holiday music playing, a present toss (with t-shirts inside), and a holiday performance by the Marlies Dance Crew.

Our son may think this sort of fanfare comes with every hockey game – he has no idea this was a special event! Luckily he loved the hockey game and that was enough to keep him happy.

Plus we were so excited to see Bernier in net! So many people at the game had Bernier jerseys on, and he played an amazing game. They won 9-0 so he had a shut out, and the Marlies dominated the game.

Our son was so excited to sit in this huge arena and get ready for the game. It must have been pretty exciting for him to see lights dim, and then for the game to start.

We had a great time at the game, and if you are looking for an awesome gift idea, I think Marlies tickets would be pretty fabulous!
