BrainFuel

My sister-in-law wrote a few weeks ago about procrastination that included a link to a site for some brain games (which is my way of procrastinating when I should be working).

I love brain games - sudoku, tents, spider solitaire, word games, you name it. I have quite a few downloaded to my iPhone for instant access as well. Hopefully in 30 years my brain will still be as active as it is today.

So enter in Brainfuel4Kids. It's a great site to sit down with your kids and explore. You can learn brain facts such as "your brain contains a vast network of connections capable of performing 20 million-billion calculations per second." You can check out sections like brain food and brain health. And then there's the section on brain games. I was also given a 30 day trial to Lumosity.com, a great site for even more brain games. And not your normal brain games either, much more advanced than the basic ones that normally come up in a search. Go ahead, check out the sites, and it's not procrastinating if you are actually exercising your brain!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of BrainFuel and received an insulated lunch bag from California Innovations to thank me for taking the time to participate.

we encourage such games on sister in law who has Alzheimers. But she forgets she has them.

Are you enjoying brainbashers.com? I love doing the timed daily logic puzzle.
