Bouncing, Throwing, Smooshing, Sitting, Endless Fun with the Super Wubble Bubble Ball {Review}

There are some toys that have been around for generations; for instance wooden blocks, baby dolls, small cars, rubber balls, and more.

And, while there is of course a reason why these are beloved classics, that isn't to say that making a few changes or updates can't take them to the next level. Adding movable limbs to a doll or new, colorful designs to a set of cars, for example.

But what if you could take a well-loved toy and give it enough of a makeover that it takes it to an entirely new level? Providing not only entertainment, but active movement, tons of laughter, lots of creativity, and basically endless joy?

Then you must have taken a regular ball and updated it to a Super Wubble Bubble Ball!

A soft, lightweight ball that can be inflated to gigantic proportions, the Super Wubble is super smashable and super squashable. Bounce it, throw it, kick it, smoosh it, smash it, sit on it — there isn't much you can't do!

As Super Wubble is made with a new super stretchy material called Xpandium, it is up to four times stronger and more tear-resistant than the original Wubble Bubble Ball. The result? Even more hours of stretchy, squishy, bouncy fun!

I had no doubt that my kids were going to absolutely love the Super Wubble and we all couldn't wait to get it out of the box and ready for play!

Right away I appreciated how easy the Super Wubble is to inflate, as the included battery-operated pump is simple and intuitive (deflating is just as easy — perfect for not having to find a place to stash a full blown Super Wubble around the house).

In a matter of minutes, it was time to Wubble and my girls couldn't have cared less that it had just rained. They pulled on their boots and were out the door ready to see what they could do with their own smooshy bubble ball!

Talk about fun!

While my kids initially treated the Super Wubble with the utmost care and caution, they soon realized that just because it is extra soft doesn't mean that it is extra fragile.

Instead, they took to bouncing, throwing, smashing, sitting, rolling, volleying, and much more and marveled at the strength of the Super Wubble throughout all of their play. Aside from coming into contact with sharp objects like tacks, broken glass, sharp fingernails, branches or concrete, I don't see this magic ball popping anytime soon.

In the meantime, the current favorite Super Wubble activity is making all sorts of "interesting" faces by crushing oneself into the ball. The fun never stops!

Still skeptical on this ball's strength? See for yourself how Super Wubble holds up on their YouTube channel where everything from a pineapple to a bowling ball to a shopping cart to a cinder block are dropped onto this giant ball!

When it comes to adding a unique, one-of-a-kind toy to your household (or to give as a great birthday present or gift for the upcoming holidays), the Super Wubble is one that won't disappoint. Kids of all ages (as well as adults) are going to be clamoring for another turn and the laughter and smiles can't be beat!

Upgrade Your Bathroom for Free with the Charmin Essentials Toilet Paper Swap! {#CharminEssentials}

This post was sponsored by Charmin as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.

When it comes to shopping, I often find myself torn between buying the best quality or opting for the biggest value. Do I go with the name brand canned corn or will the store label, which costs less, taste close enough? Do I buy my kids the generic markers for school and hope that they don't dry out or stick with the ones that cost a little more but will most likely last longer?

Fortunately, this decision doesn't have to be made when it comes to shopping for toilet paper. We're all able to stick to our budget and shop with value in mind (but without having to sacrifice on softness or quality) thanks to Charmin's newly launched Charmin Essentials Soft!

Keep Motion Sickness Away with Dramamine® for Kids {#AdventuresInMotion}

This post was sponsored by Dramamine® as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.

Although I love seeing that my children have inherited some of my positive qualities, there are times when I feel as though karma is in full force when I see my complete lack of patience or inherent need to argue my point come through in them.

Another of my genes that has unfortunately been passed down to both of my children is my motion sickness. It is bad enough that I can't glance down in the car, set foot on an airplane or even consider getting on a roller coaster without worry of being ill, but now my own children experience nausea and dizziness from them as well?

I guess now I can add guilt to my feelings of queasiness.

Fortunately, I know that I can turn to my own personal motion sickness relief savior (and the #1 pharmacist recommended brand), Dramamine®. I never travel without my nausea-minimizing miracle worker, so it was an obvious next step that my family would also be devotees of Dramamine® for Kids!

The only medicated motion sickness relief product formulated just for children ages 2-12, Dramamine® for Kids treats symptoms of motion sickness on the spot and prevents nausea, dizziness, vomiting and queasiness.

It only took one time of Big Sister E vomiting on a tour bus in Europe before Dramamine® for Kids became a must-have in her travel bag and it wasn't long after that before she was asking for it by name prior to field trips involving long bus rides. Why spend time feeling the unhappy symptoms of motion sickness when you don't have to?

Plus, as Dramamine® for Kids comes in a convenient travel case and contains a safe, precise dose in a fun, chewable grape flavored tablet, I never have to worry about her finding a glass of water, having trouble swallowing a pill or needing to pour out any liquid medication. Instead, just chew one tasty dose and she stays feeling great and ready to go, go, go!

While Little Sister B hasn't quite gotten to the point where she needs her own case of Dramamine® for Kids, I can already see her symptoms increasing as she ages and know that it won't be too much longer.

Apparently the family that travels together, feels queasy together? Thanks to Dramamine® and Dramamine® for Kids, we're all able to knock out motion sickness and continue on with our lives with ease!

When it comes to motion sickness, I don't want to just leave my kids to deal with it, I want to prevent it as much as possible. Without Dramamine®, our lives would be spent feeling much more uncomfortable and nauseous — which is why you'll never find us traveling or visiting theme parks without it!

Do you have a child in your life that suffers from motion sickness symptoms as well? You'll want to head over to Dramamine.com (and connect with them on Facebook and Twitter) to find out more about Dramamine® for Kids as well as their other high quality, effective products.
