I was first introduced to the game through my friend online and was totally captivated. I was even more excited when I found that there was a board game, too, that I could take wherever I go—which has proved very useful, especially in those crazy summer traffic jams.

In Rush Hour, you simply have to get the red car out of the traffic jam and out of the six-by-six grid through the exit. But of course there’s a catch. There are different puzzle cards that instruct you to place the other vehicles of different length on the grid. They’re placed strategically so that you have to continuously move them up and down, right and left to free the red car. And what makes it even harder is that you can’t rotate any of the cars (yikes!).

What I really like about this game is how it completely grabs your attention. When you first see each puzzle it seems easy as pie. But as the level gets higher and the expected number of moves gets lower, you just can’t stop until you get that red car through! 

So next time you’re stuck in traffic, why not take out Rush Hour? Who knows? Maybe when you get the red car through the traffic jam, your car will, too!

Now, him and his brother-in-laws help with the making and designing of cakes while his mom and sisters take care of the rest of the bakery. There are also a few cousins, nieces and nephews running around lending a helping hand, too! And with so many family members in such tight quarters, of course there’s going to be lots of drama and excitement.


This exciting show is one for the whole family. I watch it with everyone, including my dad and 9-year-old sister. Next time your cuddled on your sofa on a Monday night, turn to TLC and watch Cake Boss. It’s delicious!

Gossip Girl is your typical drama. It follows the lives of fabulously rich New York teens with an equally fabulous wealth of problems. There’s Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), an overachiever-meets-bad-boy pair that can’t seem to decide whether they love or hate each other. Then there’s Serena van der Woodsen, Blair’s BFF/frenemy. Throw some Brooklyn in the mix with Dan (Penn Badgley) and Jenny (Taylor Momsen) Humphrey, two middle-class prep school commuter—and fishes out of water—and you’ve got a juicy hour of nonstop drama each week.
