Smarterer - Show Off Your Skills

Smarterer - Show Off Your Skills

Recently, I was invited to join the Bzz Campaign for Smarterer - a way to show off your smarts and skills through fun quizzes.

What is Smarterer?
"Smarterer gives users an unbiased resource to prove what they know. The website presents users with a diverse collection of tests. These include social, technical and digital topics. The user can select a test that is relevant to their knowledge and take it. Smarterer gives them their score which can be used to prove what the user knows. Users can also create tests for the Smarterer community. Users who successfully complete tests are given access to a badge identifying their success. These badges can be placed on Facebook, Twitter and Google profiles as well as blogs. They also appear on the user’s Smarterer profile. Smarterer also gives community members access to the leaderboards, which show who has the highest scores and provides icons that link to the site’s most popular tests. The current list of popular tests includes Facebook, Twitter, Google, Gmail, Chrome, CSS, Microsoft Word and Excel."

I have to admit, I much prefer taking the fun tests like pop-culture and music rather than the technical stuff...but that is just a personal preference.

Smarterer Features
Create your own tests for other Smarterer uses to take
Search for tests already added to the site
Prove what you know in technical and internet subjects
Post Smarterer badges on social networking profiles
Earn a place on the Smarterer leaderboards

It is a fun way to not only challenge yourself, but friends and family alike.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey's "Fully Charged" = the Greatest Show on Earth!!!

Last night, we had the privilege of seeing the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey's "Fully Charged" circus show. It was truly an incredible show! My 6 yr old son was completely engrossed...whenever I looked over, he was either sitting with his jaw hanging open, cheering loudly, or laughing out loud! Definitely entertaining for all ages and great family fun!

Make sure you arrive about an hour early so that you can get up close and personal. You are allowed to go down to the floor and watch some of the performers right up close. There are jugglers, aerial acrobats, and clowns in a very small and personal setting. Our favorite part was watching Asia the elephant paint a pretty picture! Don't forget to grab a free clown nose, get the kids tattooed (temporarily of coarse!) and enter to win Asia's artwork!

The show is high energy and has so much going on! The clowns were silly and fun! The strongmen were amazing and the Fernandez brothers on the tumble wheels are simply insane! Watching the "Human Fuse" man engulfed in flames being shot across the arena was crazy! We loved the animal acts - the horses were lovely, the tigers were fascinating, and the elephants sweet and graceful.

This show was one of the best we have seen and we will have fun family memories forever! Thank you to Feld Entertainment for the opportunity to see this great show!

"Fully Charged" runs from Feb 8-12 here in Raleigh at the RBC center and tickets are available now. Get your ticket for high-voltage fun today! Discount: 4 for $60. Has to be bought in groups of 4. Code is “MOMR12” and is only valid on non-vip tickets and these select shows. Thursday night (7pm), Saturday morning (11:00am) and Sunday night (5:30pm). Valid on the internet only.

A great family night out and fun for all ages!
