Product placement

Candy Land (a board game): (a) ACTS — the creator unboxes it, sets it up, and plays it with her children. Removing it would change the video entirely. Hasbro (the company): (a) ACTS — the creator explicitly mentions it as the brand behind the game. Removing it would change the video's brand identification.

Re-connecting after the first week back at school How is everyone holding #ad after that first week? I think I spent 10 hours waiting in the car line, five out forms and many hours stressing over how their days were going. I'm still trying to accept the fact that school's really back, so I figured what better way to spend quality time with my boys than with a game night. We are bringing out one of my favorites from when I was a kid tonight. Candyland feels so nostalgic to me. I can vividly remember laying on my living room floor with my mom and brother and now here I am. But now I'm the mom. While the week felt chaotic and overwhelming, tonight feels like the perfect way to reset our nervous systems with a Hasbro game. While it may feel stressful now, I'll be wishing I was right back here many years from now.
