If you have been reading my blog over the years, you know my family and I like a good board game. I’ve always enjoyed board games. I used to play them with my sister and parents when I was younger. I remember having a weekend long game of Monopoly going on the coffee table in the living room at my grandfather’s cottage. And whenever we went away for a vacation, we always brought along at least one board game.
As a young child and early teen, it was a special time with my family, full of fun and bonding. As a parent, I can see it is a fantastic way to connect with your children, create a better understanding of team playing, good sportsmanship and all around patience.
So when Hasbro Canada approached me on this fun idea, I was more than excited to share it with YOU.
Right now (until August 31st), if you go into any Toy R Us with your Monopoly money, you can use it at the cash to receive 20% off Hasbro games! How cool is that?!
