Horse Haven: Own a Horse Farm Without All the Hassle

What child isn't fascinated with horses? I always begged for a horse as a child, but, of course, never received one. I eventually outgrew my love for horses (okay, I still like them a little), but now I have kids! Even my boys love horses and, since there are horse farms all around where we live, we drive past them constantly, making them want one even more. Luckily, we have found a happy medium, a place where my son can play with horses, feed them and even build onto his own farm. One of our favorite game makers, UbiSoft, has created Horse Haven, making it possible for children to finally have the horse or horses of their dreams!

I helped Josiah get started, but the game makes it very easy to begin with a tutorial. Five minutes after beginning, you know exactly what to do and you have goals to work towards for your farm! Here's basically what your farm looks like when you begin and the tutorial that tells you what to do.

It didn't take long before Josiah's farm was growing and thriving. He loves how you must feed the horses, wash them and really take care of them. We added a water well, a petting zoo and even a carrot garden for some delicious horse treats! Here is how we fed the horse carrots:

Josiah had such a great time with this game that we've played it a few times now. It just doesn't get old for him, so I know he'll be playing this one for a while. I have to admit, I'm curious about what is to come. They mention horse shows and even breeding, so it looks like the game just gets more exciting as you go along!

Our day of planning and building came to an end when we ran out of energy. Then, you must wait a certain amount of time before continuing or you can purchase more energy if you don't want to wait. I am hoping this game eventually goes to the iPad because I would love for him to have a more portable version. For now, I have a feeling we'll be on Facebook much more often! Here's what the farm looked like after a hard day's work:

Give Horse Haven a try and let me know what you think!

Find Great Coupons Via A New Coupon Facebook App

I often mention we are on quite a tight budget. Our family does what we can to save money! Over the past 2 years I have learned that you never buy items at retail price and most of the time a coupon can be found. There are many ways to find deals, including searching online and even cutting coupons from your Sunday paper. However, with the new Coupons Facebook App. 

You install the app just like any other on Facebook, which takes all of 30 seconds. I just installed it on my computer and was able to customize my deals. I clicked which stores were my favorites, such as Target, Kohl's and Amazon. All of the latest and popular brands can be found. Plus, I can even set it to post on my wall when great deals. New deals are posted weekly, so you know you are getting the best and most recently coupons and sales delivered straight to your Facebook page!

The Coupons by Answers App is easily accessed over on the left-side of your Facebook page under "Apps", so you can click any time to see the deals posted. Today I found a $20 off $100 purchase at Babies "R" Us coupon code. What I also like is that the deals are user verified. Over to the side you can see the success rate for other user who have tried the coupon, so there is no guessing involved! You can pick a coupon and deal with confidence that it will work. It really doesn't get any easier than that.

Finally we can add an app to Facebook that will actually save us money! I'm so excited to see all the deals that are posted each week. Click the link above to find out more about the app and to install it on your Facebook page. Let me know what you think!
