The New Radio Flyer Ziggle Thanks to Chatterbox by House Party!

Back in October, I applied through Chatterbox for the chance to try out the new Radio Flyer Ziggle! My boys are 3 & 4, and FULL of energy. So when I found out that we'd been chosen to receive it, my boys and I were so excited!! We tracked the package daily until it arrived!

Maybe you're like I was and haven't heard of the Ziggle. Here are a few things to help you learn a little more about it*!

The Radio Flyer Ziggle is for Ages 3-8. The seat is adjustable so it can grow as your child grows.

From the website:

"There has never been a more fun way to ride than with the NEW Radio Flyer Ziggle. All you do is twist the front and wiggle the back and off you go. Advanced riders gain speed and can drift into 360⁰ spins. Four high performance caster wheels provide a smooth ride on any surface. The adjustable seat grows with your child and the padded hand grips, grip tape for feet and solid steel frame add comfort and control for years of fun."

PRODUCT FEATURES
  • Twist the front and wiggle the back, just get on and go
  • Four caster wheels for a fun, fast ride
  • 360⁰ degree spin out action
  • Adjustable seat grows with your child
  • Grip tape for feet provide added control
  • Padded hand grips for comfort
  • Solid steel frame

My boys, Levi & Wyatt, were so excited to get the Ziggle! With easy to follow instructions, it was easy to put together. Levi even helped. And even before we took it outside, they were taking turns ziggling up and down the kitchen hallway. They had so much fun trying the Ziggle out for the first time. It is easy to wiggle the handles back and forth to move forward.

Here is a video and some photos.










We've taken our Ziggle out several times since this day and my two boys have SO much fun on it! It's something new and different and it's fun to watch them laugh and take turns on it. My youngest asked if we could please get another so they can have a race. Thinking it's a good thing Christmas is right around the corner!! 

THANK YOU CHATTERBOX for hours of fun and many more to come!!!

WE LOVE OUR NEW RADIO FLYER ZIGGLE!!!

Truvia Natural Sweetener



I love sweet stuff and am not a fan of coffee without my sugar and cream. But I haven't been convinced to use artificial sweeteners because I seemed to always be able to taste the difference. So when I was selected, as a member of Crowdtap, to try the Truvia Natural Sweetener I was quite curious to see if I liked it or not.

In case this is the first you are hearing about it, or if you have heard of it but never been convinced to give it a try, here are a few things I learned with the information I received in my sampling kit.



*Truvia is a Natural Sweetener. It is made from the stevia plant, which has been used as a sweetener in South America for generations. It is Zero-Calorie, Yay!! The leaves are dried, steeped in water and purfied to a calorie-free sweet taste.

The answer to whether I liked it or not: Yes! It REALLY is GOOD!! I was happily surprised. I tried it first in a cup of tea. I typically add honey to my tea, but replaced it with half a packet of Truvia sweetener. It was yummy! And no weird aftertaste. I could swear I was drinking tea sweetened by sugar!

I gave the second sample to my sister Melissa and she tried it in her coffee. She said she couldn't even tell the difference. She was happily surprised as well!



You can use Truvia to add sweetness to your coffee, tea, fruit, cereal, yogurt or your favorite cocktail. Find more ideas and recipes at truvia.com/recipes
