Surprise From FiveJoy!

Copied email from FiveJoy's Co-Founder

Thanks for Making it Right #FiveJoy!

FiveJoy sent us a package with Not One but Two teepees! One was a replacement teepee for the one that broke and for the Animal Kingdom Teepee as a surprise for my daughter who absolutely adores all animals "for the inconvenience."

Renee and her friend had a ball playing in the FiveJoy Spaceship Teepee!

I'm happy to report the second FiveJoy Spaceship Teepee we were sent was finished and much easier to setup. The holes in the top poles were drilled large enough for the laces to fit through properly, as they should 😊

Pros:

• Heavy-duty, nicely printed canvas
• Bag for storage
• Portable

 
Tips for Assembly:

• An extra pair of hands is helpful when putting these teepees together!
• The time to put a teepee together was an estimated 10 minutes with some help, much better than struggling by ourselves!
• If the holes aren't drilled large enough for the laces or strings to fit through, you can use a drill, screwdriver or screw- whatever you have on hand to widen the hole.
• Each teepee comes with instructions and a piece of sandpaper. You may need to sand the poles where they fit together, in order for the poles to fit into the PVC properly.
• Once you've assembled the poles, put them through the top of the teepee where the opening is (taking care that they are threaded through the seams for the poles.

I believe the first product I was sent was defective. I can now confirm that.

FiveJoy sent my daughter their Animal Kingdom Teepee as a surprise and to make amends.

Customer Service

After receiving no traction about a replacement product through a series of emails with Stephanie the Customer Relationship Manager and finally Jennifer the CEO of FiveJoy. I left reviews and feedback based on my experience. Shortly thereafter I received the above email from Jennifer.

Bottom Line: I would recommend the FiveJoy Teepee based on my experience.

My Recommendation: Based on the products I received there are some flaws with the design, which I spoke with FiveJoy's CEO in detail. If you run into similar issues with other companies, I recommend being persistent and following up.

Disclosure: I received this product as a replacement for the one I previously reviewed. I was not compensated in any other way. All opinions are my own.

#FiveJoy Teepee (Spaceship) Review

My daughter loves making forts out of blankets or beach towels... even sheets. She will drag the chairs from my dining room into our living room in her attempt to make a blanket fort for her and Lola, our Pomeranian. The two are virtually inseparable and when they are, Renee makes sure she knows where Lola is!

After struggling with this product for close to an hour she was so excited!

The FiveJoy teepee comes packaged in a cardboard box and paper. It has it's own bag.

I was disappointed in the FiveJoy Teepee I was sent because it was not easy to set up as quoted. The holes in the top poles were not drilled large enough for the laces to fit through properly. If you shift the teepee around at it comes apart because the poles are in three sections which would be nice if they were tapered and fit snuggly; however, I was constantly fixing the teepee and one leg or another, putting it back together. I had to tie the teepee canvas around interwoven in the poles at the top to try and keep the canvas up as shown in the photo above. Once taken down, and I tried to put the teepee back together the next day the laces literally fell off and had come unstitched.

Pros:

• Nicely printed canvas
• Bag for storage
• Portable

Cons:

• Poles were unfinished
• The holes were not drilled all the way through or enough for the product to be setup as pictured on Amazon.
• The strings or laces came un-stitched from the canvas

Quality and Ease of Assembly
I expected this teepee to be easy to assemble and a high-quality product. I believe I was sent a defective product; however, I cannot confirm that.

See how the string laces through that one hole but not the others?
The pole in the forefront is not drilled all the way through.

Sadly the Strings or Laces literally fell off of the canvas after one use!

Customer Service or Lack Thereof
I tried working through the website I review products for to obtain a replacement product to no avail. I called a phone number I received from Amazon for FiveJoy and left a message on their Google VOIP without a reply. Amazon could not replace the product because there was a promo code involved.

I got my and my daughter's hopes up of being able to receive a replacement product through a series of emails with Stephanie the Customer Relationship Manager and finally Jennifer claiming to be the CEO of FiveJoy.

Bottom Line: Unfortunately, I cannot and will not recommend the FiveJoy Teepee based on my experience.

My Recommendation: I would opt for a less expensive product that is structurally sound. Based on the product I received there are some flaws with the design, quality control problems and/or at the very least lack of customer service. I am very disappointed.

Guess the Animal Faces: Animal Identification Book #Review

You can find "Guess the Animal Faces" Here!

Guess the Animal Faces: Animal Identification Book for Kids by Dr. Lisa Rusczyk is one of the You Are Loved Series. The author is a Stay-At-Home Mom to two daughters and holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership.

The book is supposed to be viewed in landscape view. It was a cute, quite lengthy picture book. It is available as an e-book via Kindle or by using a Kindle App. I chose to install the Kindle App on my iPhone and view it that way. I would encourage the use of a tablet, if available or computer to ensure the pictures are large enough.

This playful picture book is geared towards a pre-reading audience. Mom and Dad or whomever can read and play along to help baby or their toddler find and guess the corresponding and appropriate animals.

In the first half of Guess the Animal Faces, cartoon pictures are provided where toddlers are encouraged to guess what the animal is, on the next page there is a realistic photo with a response.

First you see a cartoon animal to which you are supposed to guess what it is.

Then you are provided with a realistic photo with a caption such as "Koala".

To be honest, I'm not sure I would have recognized the cartoon camel. I have seen alpacas and llamas; but, perhaps a toddler would guess this correctly.

Photos from "Guess the Animal Faces" with a photo of a Bactrian Camel.

It's interesting to see how mainstream exotic animals have become, even in children's books. My family and I can relate. My father and stepmother own quite a menagerie. My daughter is the second generation to grow up around a wide variety of animals including a hybrid camel named Caesar (Bactrian and Dromedary cross).

Visiting Caesar the Camel on a winter day.

It's nice to remind parents and teachers to use positive reinforcement as illustrated below. It is used to praise the child for a job well done and to build confidence and self-esteem.

In the second half of the book kids are encouraged to find the animal from a larger compilation of animals from a grid. This aides in hand and eye coordination and gets the child to interact whether it's with an oral response or by pointing out the picture.

I would have liked to have seen all of the animals in the grid represented in the book or left out of the grid. You will see some animals are not mentioned but show up in the grid.

Language and interaction are so important in ages birth to 3 years old! So much growth can happen. It is best to nurture learning in any way you can. Of course parents can discuss with their children much further about the animals in the book, for example: where might this animal live? What do you think they like to eat? My personal favorite has always been "What sound does this animal make?" You can talk about colors. The possibilities are endless.

Saganizer Workhorse Sweeper #Review

Find the Saganizer Carpet and Floor Workhorse Sweeper Here!

I was shocked at the size of the packaging! It was a small unlabeled white box. The manufacturer has the packaging down to a science! The box was barely larger than the base, itself.

There were no instructions. Thankfully this is a pretty basic design. No tools required! I pinched my hand in part of the base while putting it together :( The handle comes in 3 lengths of hollow metal pipe that screws together, on to the base and the plastic handle screws onto the last metal pipe with a hole in the plastic top for hanging and storing the Saganizer Workhorse Sweeper.

The Workhorse Sweeper comes with a plastic tool to clean hair and debris from the brushes at the bottom of the base. It's embarrassing to admit, it took me a while to figure out how to empty the Saganizer Carpet and Floor Workhorse Sweeper. If you look at the at the photo below, you press on the arrows and the compartment swings open like it's on a spring mechanism.

Bottom of the Base

Pros:

• Easy to Assemble
• Sweeps even fine debris up off carpeting and floors
• No cords, filters or batteries to change or worry about
• Quiet, if you don't want to vacuum while baby is sleeping
• Lightweight
• Lies flat for storage and sweeping underneath furniture
• Stores easily

Cons:

• No instructions
• Sweeper can be difficult to empty

Overall I would rate this product 4 Stars! It gets the job done. Just be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers! I could see this product being good for anyone who who can't bend over to use a dustpan, who wants to vacuum but doesn't want to wake up the baby or for your Camper or RV.
