Heads Up

** This is NOT a sponsored post! Just a great product we love!**

A few months ago I went to my girlfriend’s house for a games night and was introduced to this great game played on your tablet or phone!

Heads Up!

We had so much fun playing this game, and hadn’t laughed so much in a long time!

Here’s what the website says:

Heads Up! is the fun and hilarious new game that Ellen DeGeneres plays on her show — and now you can play it with your friends!

From naming celebrities, to singing, to silly accents — guess the word on the card that’s on your head from your friends’ clues before the timer runs out!

Features:
– Play with one friend, or one hundred at the same time.
– Draw a new card simply by tilting your phone.
– Keep videos of your hilarious game play for your own amusement, or share them right to Facebook.
– Diverse categories let you challenge your smartypants friends, and entertain your kids for hours, all from one app!

With 18 themed decks to choose from, each packed to the brim with exciting gameplay cards, the fun will never stop!

Decks include:
– Celebrities
– Movies
– Animals
– Accents
– Characters
– And lots more!

Your next party, road trip or wait at the bank will never be the same.

How it works

Download the app. HERE

Pick a deck to play.

A word will come up on the screen and you have to describe it to the person holding the device. Sometimes you have to act it out!

If they guess it correctly, tilt the tablet down and the next word will appear.

If you cannot get it, tilt the tablet up to “pass” and a new word will appear.

A list of the words you get correctly will appear at the end, along with the video that is being recorded as you play.

The game is great for a party of adults, but we decided to try it out with our kids!
This was a huge hit!

We play two of the free decks: For Kids and Animals

Our 8 year old loves the game and has fun describing the clues… just watch him in action in the Animal deck.

He also loves guessing.

Our 6 year old gets a bit frustrated playing the game, as he says he can’t think as fast as the rest as everyone else, or can’t spit out the answers fast enough.

To solve this, he plays on the same team as an adult (who conveniently stays quiet until needed) and he does just fine and slowly builds up his confidence!

This is a great game to pass the time while you are waiting, or to spend a few moments together before bedtime!

We highly recommend that you check it out!

How to Properly Fold a Shirt

When I was a university student I worked in a women’s clothing store in the mall. I made some great friends –with whom I still hang out with today! I learned many things. How to sell multiples (more than one thing to a customer) Be careful because that dude likes to go in the dressing room and come out and model the cream-coloured stretch pants. If a girl goes into the dressing room with an outfit 6 sizes too small, she’s probably shoplifting. Best of all:

The customer is not always right. But, the customer is always the customer.

One of the skills that I learned, and still use over 25 years later, is how to properly fold a shirt. This methods makes nice crisp folds like on a store shelf, but it’s also great for home. Shirts fit nicely into the drawers, and compactly into a suitcase! Here’s how to properly fold a shirt There are two versions of the same method. The first is on a table using a folding board. Once you get good at this method, proceed to method 2 – on your chest. Use a Folding Board Get a folding board. For this, I used a cutting board. You could also use a flattened cereal box. Lay the shirt flat on the table (or bed) face down. Place the folding board in the centre, right under the collar. Fold in the sides – making mirror images. Remove the folding board. Fold the bottom to the top. I like to fold it twice to make a compact size! To fold a short-sleeved t-shirt, the process is pretty much the same. Place the folding board in the centre, right under the collar. Fold in the sides – making mirror images. Remove the folding board. Fold the bottom to the top. I like to fold it twice to make a compact size! When you are ready, move on to the next level: Folding a shirt on your chest. With this method, your arms become the folding board. Lay the shirt across your chest. Extend the sleeve on one side and fold it to the opposite edge. Fold it back to the edge to make the sides even. Fold the opposite arm in to the centre. Use your chin to hold the shirt in place while you fold up the bottom. It’s way easier if I just show you! So, watch my step-by-step video.

While writing this post, it reminded me of a video done by my friend, Mary Beth: How to Fold a Fitted Sheet. I am still working on this! How to fold a fitted sheet Happy folding!
