Instead of buying properties like Boardwalk and Park Place, players buy malls, hair salons, spas and fashion boutiques (like Jillian’s Jewelry Store and Savannah’s Super Spa) , go shopping, pay […]

Today I have another review of a toy from the WHAM-O 60th Anniversary celebration - the WHAM-O Original Hula Hoop.
We all remember playing with hula hoops as children. I never could master the technique. When I received the WHAM-O Original Hula Hoop to test, I still can’t keep it up! It doesn’t matter if you […]
