Western Chief Rain Gear Review and Rain Boots Giveaway Holiday Gift Guide

The rainy season is here in full force! It has been very stormy and windy here in Northern California for over a week. The need for a rain coat, rains boots and an umbrella is a must!

My son is a huge Thomas the Train fan. We have a bunch of toys, movies and clothing that are Thomas. I knew my son would love Thomas the Tank® rain gear. I have heard about a company out of Washington state (where Sam and Patricia live!) that makes super cute rain gear for kids, Western Chief. I am always looking for companies that are based in CA or WA to support the two states I love!

When my son saw the Thomas the Tank® items he squealed with joy! He loves Thomas and was of course showing off his best choo choo as he stomped around in his new rain gear. The rain boots are very durable, they run a tad big which I think is great so my son can wear them well into the Spring rainy season. Kids feet grow so fast too! Western Chief also has fleece boot liners that go inside the boots to keep little toes warm and dry. We have jumped in many puddles, waded through ankle deep water and stayed dry. The best part about the raincoat other than how cute it is, the fact that the the rain coat is lined. This adds an extra layer of warmth to the coat that most rain coats do not have. My son can wear the coat in the Spring rains too with a tshirt and jeans while staying warm and dry.

A little info about Western Chief:

Washington Shoe Company was founded in Seattle in 1891 to produce rugged outdoor boots designed to meet the harsh conditions of the Alaska Gold Rush. Today, Washington Shoe Company is committed to providing retail distributors with the same high quality, rugged work footwear along with durable, fashionable and fun rain gear.

Befudium Game Review and Giveaway

I have to make a confession. I love playing games, I mean LOVE playing games. My poor family knows the craziness that occurs whenever we have a holiday or a family event. The know that if we are going to get together, we are going to play a game. Some refuse to play, others just go along with it because they know how much fun it can be if you have a new and fun game to share. I was so excited for my family to review the game Befudiom this year at Thanksgiving! 

                                                                                                                      

Befudiom is a word game where teams are challenged to guess selected idioms by acting, shouting, drawing, or spelling them out. (An idioms is an expression consisting of a combination of words that have a figurative meaning, like "It's raining Cats and Dogs.) The various ways in the game of expressing the idiom by acting, spelling, drawing or shouting. The name “Befudiom” combines the words “befuddled” and “idiom,” alluding to the game’s root in mixed-up meanings. 

We had so much fun playing Befudium! We played men against women and it was hilarious to watch. The great thing about the game was that there are four different ways to express your idiom, so if you are not too great a drawing (like me) you can always hope to act out your next clue. Even my youngest sister, the anti-game player, was laughing and having fun with it! She is a tough critic so that is saying a lot. We laughed, bantered and even had a few tears of joy at the end. I definitely recommend you get Befudiom for your next gathering!
