Let me just say, my son is having a lot of fun with these. He is 8 though, and I really do not recommend these for kids that are younger, really. Depending on your child, maybe down to age 6. These eggs arrive with a wrapped toy inside of each egg. Talk about easy for Easter! However, each character is unassembled, and the pieces are teeny tiny! Each character will at least have 2 legs, 2 arms, 1 upper body, 1 plate to attach the legs, 1 head, 1 hat, and 2 hands. Yes, even the hands are separate. The eggs are the traditional plastic eggs, and are reusable. My son even had a blast changing up the eggs, lol. Some of my characters had a broken leg plate, and then only had one leg. My son still loves those, and is playing with those as well. It’s great to get toy filled eggs instead of candy. My son doesn’t eat candy, so we always give the candy away. We received a mix of characters from Policemen, Pirates, Construction workers, Firemen, Navy men, Santa, a Wizard, and more. They are the same size and look like the Lego characters too. These do work with Lego plates, which is awesome! So they will intermingle.

These will make your life easier if you are always running from point A to B. You can literally just open up the bag and dump them into the Easter Basket the night before. You can set these out for an Easter Egg hunt, since there is no candy to attract bugs, and no chocolate to melt. If you have a child with a food allergy, this is the safe bet as a present. I really love this option. They are perfect for children like my son.

Easter is on its way, and I am so excited. I love holidays. There is always so much to look forward too, and celebrate. Easter is a special holiday too. My son can’t wait, and is enjoying slowly decorating for it. This basket is perfect for that. Even if your child gets older, this makes a precious decoration. It’s just so sweet looking. It’s soft and plush, and velvety. I mean, how could you go wrong with that.

This is such a usable product. The basket is quite large, and the stuffed animals are separate from it. You receive 1 stuffed Easter Egg, 1 Chick, and 1 Easter Bunny, inside of the basket. All of the decoration is embroidered on. The quality is wonderful. The chick and bunny have big plastic eyes, they are not embroidered on, though. The Easter bag is so plush, and large. You can fit approx. 30 Easter eggs in it. I had a package of 20 out, and there was plenty of room left in it for more, so I would have to agree. The handle is soft, and easy for a little one to put on their shoulder. They can use this for Easter egg hunts, and play time. We are using it for decoration. My son is 8. He has renamed the Chick as Chica for the Five Nights as Freddy game, lol. So, even the older kids appreciate this set. The basket does have some form to it. Sewn inside both the bottom and side wall of the basket, is a plastic form. It’s flexible, so you can’t get hurt on it, but it gives the basket enough form to be used as a basket. It has Easter Basket embroidered on to the side of it as well.  My set arrived with all of its stitching done perfectly. It had no odor to it either. It was immediately huggable and usable, and now is adorning our living room as decoration. It really is a precious set.

Glass or crystal wine glasses are not my friends. I tend to break them a lot. Normally not while drinking out of them, but almost always while washing them. You don’t have to worry about being careful with these, and when you are done, you can throw them into your sink with the rest of your dishes. It can even be full of dishes from your meal. These glasses really are hard to break. No more shattering just because your friend knocked your glass off of the table. You can bring these out for a picnic, and even use them poolside. The shape of these glasses are pretty nice. A little reminiscent of a whiskey glass. The bottoms of these glasses are weighted. For adults, these are definitely more romantic and elegant to drink out of than a regular glass. The rim on these are pretty comfortable against the lips as well. That can be an issue with a lot of non-glass wine glasses. These are made out of the Tritan material. It’s pretty thick too! They make a lot of named brand sports water bottles out of Tritan material. It is shatterproof and hard to break. They are BPA free, and dishwasher safe, up to a 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Although, I just hand wash all my dishes. But, I am not breaking these in the sink, like I do with glass wine glasses. I really do like these glasses. They are perfect for entertaining as well as a romantic dinner. I love knowing I can enjoy a glass a wine without worrying about breaking my special wine glass. I have broken my share in the past. They are a generous size 13oz. The mouth is wide, and they are comfortable to both hold and drink out of. Because they are unbreakable, you can take them camping, in your RV, on vacation, and to a friend’s house. With their shape, they can be used for any drink. I really can’t find anything I do not like about these glasses. They are definitely the most durable I have seen like this.

My journey into the Pyle PIPCAMHD82BK FULL HD 1080P Wireless IP Security Surveillance Camera with SD Card Slot, PTZ: Pan and Tilt Control, 2 Way Audio and 16 Night Vision LEDs – P2P Remote Monitoring for your Home. Oh, and it was a journey, lol.

Sometimes setting up security cameras are a breeze, and sometimes you want to bang your head off the wall, and maybe through it. Setting this camera up was not nice at all! Just saying! Anyhow, as cameras go, the camera itself is wonderful. So, stick with it, and ignore the quick set up sheet that arrives with the camera. You do need to download the PyleIP Pro app from your Google Playstore or IOS, if that is what you have. Then, go ahead and bring everything into the room with the router. You need to set everything up from there, or don’t even bother. Plug the camera into both a power source and your router with the included router cable. The included power cable also plugs into the back of the camera. You will also need to have a QR scanner app installed on your phone or tablet too. After you have the App opened up on your phone, go to add camera, then pick option 4, QR scanner. Then turn the camera over and scan the QR code that is by itself on the camera, not the one with other camera information. It should pull up your camera and number. You need to name your camera, since you can run 6 off of this app. Then type in this password “pylecam” or one of these options:   000000, admin. A button should pop up stating if you want to make a new password, say yes, and type in your new password. Now, you should be able to see through your camera. But, you still need to set up your wifi, so do not disconnect from your router. Now, On the top of your phones screen, in your camera app, you should see an edit button. Press this and then press the set button on the camera of choice, in case you have more than one camera. That will pull up a list, select WIFI. Now, you should see a list of Wifis and one should include your homes WIFI. Press your homes WIFI, and insert the password to your wifi. Now, two unnamed buttons will pop up, lol. I tried both buttons, and the one on the left is the enter button. A count down should start which can take all of the 60 seconds. It will not tell you if you were right or wrong. I went back to the main page of camera selections, and my camera was connected. Now, disconnect from the router, and that is the true test. I then left the room, and turned off the lights, and left the camera in the room. I tested it this way the rest of the day.

Night Vision – Pretty darn clear! I am impressed with it. It throws enough light to clearly see about 15 feet. You can see further than that though. It’s not grainy at all. You would be able to identify a perpetrator easily with this camera since it’s so clear. It is a full HD 1080P camera after all.

Camera Controls from my phone. – All work very smoothly when camera app isn’t glitching. It doesn’t glitch much. What I mean by glitch is freeze, and you have to restart your phone. I have a new Note 5 phone too, so I am not pleased by this. You will understand why the very low rating on the app. You can direct the camera left to right and up and down from the app. You can take photos and video through the app as well. You need to add you own micro SD card into the camera to take video though. Your app will save photos and video though. But if you want video in any amount, you will need a micro SD card, or hooked up through your own security DVR or computer system. You can turn on the speech button so you can hear what’s going on through the camera too. You can zoom in, zoom out, and set up points. You can actually do a lot from the app when it’s working, lol.

The user friendliness of the website is not user friendly either. It’s so frustrating. I did finally get a number to call from an email, but when I pressed contact on the website, I only got an email option. My first response to my, “Camera won’t connect to my phone” inquiry, was that they only return emails on weekdays, so I waited. I then received this response, and I copied and pasted it here:

Hi Carol,

Thanks for reaching out!

I have responded to your inquiry to your email directly.

Please reply to me directly!

Thanks,

Michael Y- Sound Around USA

Mind numbing, isn’t it. I responded a little curtly, and asked for a phone number. I did finally receive a response with a number, but by then, I had figured it out on my own, after trying quite a few ways.

You will receive a mini CD with the camera, 1 camera, 1 AC power cord, 1 mounting bracket with hardware, 1 booklet of instructions, 1 quickstep set up sheet, 1 antenna, and 1 router cable in your package. My antenna broke at the bend. My 21 year old had to man handle it back into position, and then I taped it, lol. It still works perfectly. I downloaded the software to my computer. I couldn’t log into it though, so my maddening journey continues. I like to use these small cameras from my phone and tablet anyhow. At night, if I hear a noise, I do not have my computer next to my bed, I have my phone. That is why this option is highly important. I will call the number and work on the computer part later. I’m happy the camera is working with WIFI, and that is the important thing. Here is the support number they gave me, 718-535-1800 x279.

As cameras go, this is definitely a great working camera. I definitely give it 2 thumbs up. The app, once you connect your camera, isn’t too bad. I have a newer phone though, which I think is why it works better for me than it has others, from what I have read. I am personally finally very happy with this camera.

My youngest is homeschooled, so there is always some extra energy that he needs to get out. This trampoline has brought so much excitement to my son. He absolutely loves it, and so do I. He has placed it next to his computer table, and he just gets up and bounces and bounces, and then some mini pull ups, lol. He like to lie on his back and pull up with his arms from the bar. He does this throughout the day. It’s a wonderful thing! I am amazed at how well made this unit is. My son is 8 and not a small boy. He is a big, loveable boy. He had a trampoline like this when he was younger. It only handles about ½ the weight this one can. This trampoline is rated for 150lbs. I can even go on it, and I do. That cracks him up as well. This trampoline is very quiet. There are no springs to squeak or make noise. The thick trampoline pad is attached to the metal frame by wide, thick, elastic bands. The surround the metal frame, and are already in place upon arrival. Now, this frame is the hardest part of the assembly. It took my 21 year old son and I to open it up, so it snapped into the open position. Be very careful, and make sure none of your animals or small children are near you when you are putting this part together. You do not want any small fingers getting snapped in with the frame! The frame is literally folded in half. You have to fully open it, causing the two halves to snap into their complimenting hinge. I started to stand on it, lol, while he pushed. It was quite comical, but we did it this way. After that, it’s a breeze to assemble. The legs and handlebar screw on. These pieces are made out of thick metal tubing. They included the screws and Allen Wrench to secure the handlebar onto the frame. The legs just screw on. I thought one leg wasn’t threaded properly, but I got that leg to screw on easily to another post, and then another leg screwed onto the original one just fine. If one starts to catch, just back it off and try again. All of my legs ended going on perfectly. You need to place the covering over the bands before attaching the handlebar. I forgot, and then I had to unscrew the handlebar, lol. Then you use the include bands to secure the cover. It sounds more complicated than it is. It really doesn’t take long to do any of these steps. This is a 36” trampoline. The handlebar stands 31 ½” from the ground, and 22 ½” from the trampoline. It’s a great size. The handlebar is easy to hold onto with its rubberized foam grip. I can’t express how much my son loves his new trampoline. It really is a great addition to our home.
