Ever since I bought my little girl her Nintendo Game Boy 3DS, she has become quite the gamer girl! Recently, we had the opportunity to try out a couple of great games: Tomodachi Life & Animal Crossing. These two fabulously entertaining games are also great gifts for gamer girls! Tomodachi Life & Animal Crossing Review My daughter liked both games. She also loved that she was in charge of her own town in Animal Crossing; and able to create an island paradise in Tomodachi Life! Let's talk about each game and both of our thoughts...

Just Dance 2015: Get Kids Fit with Fun!
Just Dance 2015 is a great way to get your kids fit with fun! Not only does it get them moving, it teaches them coordination, and they get to have fun while doing it!
