This post is not going to fall within the normal topics that you usually find here. But that doesn't mean it's not a family friendly topic. Most of my readers are moms and most of them are married. The topic below is something that in my opinion is perfectly normal for a married couple to engage in.
We all like to have a little fun in the bedroom right? In fact if I were to take a guess I would guess that since most of us have children we have had fun at least as many times as we have children right? I also know that as a parent time for such activities are sometimes pushed to the bottom of the list. Reasons may include a sick kid or a busy work schedule, maybe things are a little stale or just being too tired at the end of the day for some personal one on one time with your husband or wife right? Sometimes all it takes to awaken things in the bedroom is something new to play with together or some fun sexy clothing or really anything else your little heart desires to help spice things up in the bedroom.
I wanted to share a site that I first came across last winter, Eden Fantasys. Their site is clean and well organized with LOTS of options. I'm certain that there is something for everyone on this site. They carry items in all price ranges and provide written and video reviews of most every item on the site. That is something that I find to be quite helpful. There is also a cool points program you can sign up for, you can get points for just looking around their site. You can also set up a wish list that you can share with your husband or wife - involving them in the choice can be a fun way to spice things up right?
I was contacted to do this post by Eden Fantasys (and was provided compensation in the form of a free item from their site) and I decided to do a post for them based on that fact that I HAVE actually used their site in the past (a few times) and I trust their company. The customer service has been top notch and the quality of the items has also been exactly as they portray on their site. If you're looking to get back into the bedroom with your partner in crime or to spice up the exciting relationship you already have give Eden Fantasys a look before you make your next adult toy or sexy lingerie purchase ;)

Toy Review & Giveaway: Rokenbok
I was contacted by the Rokenbok toy company and they offered to send a Deluxe ROK Blocks set to play with (with my boys of course) and review. We get to keep the free set and frankly we already have plans to add more Rokenbok sets to our toy collection.
Once we received it, I wanted to wait for a day where we had a large chunk of playtime so that we could introduce this new toy and have ample time to play with them. Well, let's just say I'm glad we prepared accordingly. My husband and our two boys played with the Rokenbox toys for over an hour that first day and again that evening after dinner! Since then it's been something the kids bring out nearly every day!
The set comes with enough pieces to make some VERY large vehicles, airplanes, helicopters and tractor trailers to name a few! Directions to make these items come with the set and are very easy to follow. The blocks link together in a similar fashion to Legos except instead of only being able to build up, you can build out too! Rokenbok's can connect to all 6 sides of each block. They are sturdy, stay together (even while being flown around the room by my 2 1/2 year old). Both my boys ages 4 & 2 1/2 can create with this toy. They can easily snap the pieces together and take them apart without much and sometime no assistance.
One downfall for us was the little parts. The age range for this toy starts at 3 years old and with my Andy coming in just shy of that 3 year old mark, I'm certain that is why I find the small parts a bit annoying. My 4 year old is perfectly able to keep the small parts in order. The small parts ARE quite important as they offer support for large longer sections of blocks and create the ability to have swiveling moving parts like a helicopter blade or a swiveling trailer bed. Those abilities far outweigh the fact that the pieces are small and need to be kept with the set. If this is a toy you think your child would be interested in I do suggest waiting until they are a solid 3 years old. With that being said, we have already put bugs in our family members ears for more of these toys for holiday gifts. Both of my little boys (and my big boy A.K.A. husband) really enjoy building with these toys. I enjoy it too!
Rokenbok offers toys for children much older than the toddler set too, some even come with remote control abilities. They all work with the same beginner set that I have reviewed here. So as your children get older and more able you can add to the set adding lots of fun and interest for years to come. There are four age levels with the top level for children 9 and older. I see Rokenbok toys as investment toys that their quality will stand up to time and they will be played with for quite a while.

Some photo updates
It's been WAY too long since I've shared some kiddo stats and photos so here ya go!
Max, is into his 2nd month of 4 year old preschool and he's LOVING it! His class size is bigger than last year and he seems to enjoy the 3 days a week schedule!
Andy, is also into his 2nd month of 2 year old preschool and seems to also be loving his one morning a week away from us. He sings like crazy when he comes home each week and he is excited each Wednesday morning when i announce that it's a school day for him.
Both boys are getting super tall! Max is growing like a weed and Andy is now able to wear most size 3T pants and shirts!
Here are a few recent photos of the boys! Check out a huge bounty of pumpkins! We grew all of them (two of them are missing since they became ripe way early and had a few bites taken out of them and were since tossed.... )
