These homemade Mac N Cheese bites are my new favorite appetizer! My mother in law made them for us on Thanksgiving and I fell in love with their bitesized goodness. With my new Love Cooking Company mini muffin pan, I decided to try them out and they were a raving hit at my Christmas party! |

"Once there was a robot named Sparki and every morning he brought a little girl her apple." Or so goes the story my little girl told one morning after programming Sparki to do just that. Not only can you get Sparki to fetch things for you, but you can program him in endless ways, He's got a cute personality the way he moves his little head around and rolls on his wheels, spins when you press the button you'd programmed to make him do so, and comes with access to a website with hundreds of fun and user-friendly lessons to get you learning more and more about robotics and electronics... without even realize you're doing so even if you're only 11 years old! And this is just the tip of the iceberg! |
Sparki works out of the box with his remote control. To write your own programs, you just plug him in via USB, install the custom-enhanced Arduino software and try any of the dozens of example programs. They have programs for every sensor and actuator on Sparki: distance, pick-up, fall, climbing, light following, dark seeking, mazes, line follow, sumo, beeping, booping, and musical tones. He's got a marker holder for drawing and works with Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Pretty incredible, right?! I'm not kidding you, ArcBotics thought of everything when they came up with Sparki! |
Sparki is an affordable, easy to use, and fun intro to electronics and robotics for all ages! He's recommended for 11 and up, but my just-turned 10 year old son is able to program him and direct his steps... er, wheels. And even my 37 year old husband really gets into programming him. Sparki's simple enough for beginners, while being feature-packed enough to be a must-have for pro-users. I can't imagine a more wonderful first robot! A gift the child in your life can grow up with, be challenged by, and never grow bored of. Check out our video below. These are the things you can do with Sparki right out of the box, even before programming him. |
You can buy Sparki at ArcBotics on-line shop for $149 with free shipping. Who will you be buying him for? Let me know in the comments and have a very merry Christmas! |
This fall marked the start of something wonderful—
|
First up, Pomegranate Oatmeal Drops. These are quite healthy and so tasty! I also added bits of apple along with the pomegranates and it was delish. You can find the recipe at POM Wonderful's recipe page. |
Next up, POM Banana Bread. Now, this actual recipe called for pistachios which I didn't have on hand so I did without, and it was wonderful. Definitely living up to that "POM Wonderful" name! This recipe is at their website, too. |
I've also added the POM POM Arils to Greek yogurt along with berries and granola. One of my very favorite desserts... and it's so much healthier than ice cream or candy! |
One of you will win a variety of goodies from POM Wonderful! Enter below by 12/15 at midnight. Good luck and happy eating! |
My youngest daughter has had Malia's Beach House on her Amazon wishlist since this summer--she is going to be thrilled to open it on Christmas morning! In the meantime, I had some fun playing with it while she was inside and upstairs doing her homework... |
Each Build & Imagine StoryWalls play-set
is made of colorfully illustrated magnetic panels that a child joins
together any way she likes. The result is a scene that she brings to
life with the enclosed dress-up dolls and more than 40 magnetic costumes
and props. Now, I will say that brothers can play along, too. The
sets are not too girly and some of them even come with boys to play
with, too. |
I snuck to the game closet where we keep our Build & Imagine Sets and snuck Day At The Beach outside so here you can see some parts of both sets combined together. They are so awesome how you can be creative with them, add all the pieces together to make upstairses (is that a word?), outsides, and rooms of every sort. |
