Thank you to Ubisoft for sponsoring this post. Please visit Amazon.com to get your own copy of Far Cry 3, today’s Gold Box Deal of the Day! I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective. All opinions are my own.
Recently, I was talking with a friend about “how I do it” meaning, how I blog AND be a mom. I L.O.V.E. my job but let’s face it, I’m around a toddler all day and sometime I have both girls with me on the weekends or Teacher Work Days, holidays, ect. It can get pretty exhausting and down right hard.
To be honest, I’m not exactly sure how I balance my work life and home life but it just happens. Over the course of the past few years I think I just got into this groove that works.
But I still need my mommy time and wife time. My husband really enjoys video games and although I was never a big gamer, I actually began to like a lot of games once I sat down to play them with my husband.
At the end of the night, when the girls are asleep, my husband and I like to curl up next to each other… and play a good video game! Even though we are screaming at the TV there is something so relaxing about playing a good game. Of course I’m also spending time with my husband and being involved in something he enjoys so it’s a good night.
I was excited when I heard about today’s Amazon Gold Box Deal because it’s a game my husband cannot stop talking about: Far Cry 3!
He hasn’t played the other Far Cry games but as soon as Far Cry 3 came out we rented it on RedBox and ended up keeping it out for WAY too long. We’ve returned it but now the hubby is talking about buying it because of course he just has to beat the game.
It’s a pretty fun game but there is nudity and adult language in it so my advice is to only play it when the kids are asleep.
Far Cry 3 is on sale for TODAY ONLY for $34 so hurry and get it before the deal ends! BUT WAIT! You can WIN a Copy just by RT this on Twitter: Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day: Far Cry 3! To buy: http://clvr.li/FC3Gold - RT to enter to win a copy! #FarCryGold

I love playing video games in my spare time, but I mostly get into psychological horror and mystery.
I’ve never heard of this game. My husband plays sports games.
I love playing games, too! I wish I could find the time, more often!
My son is wanting this game. it does look like a fun game
I love playing video games with my hubby, too!
We don’t have a gaming system in our house yet but we are thinking about getting one. This sounds like a great game.
Those gold box deals can be real winners
That’s an awesome deal! My fiancee has been wanting to check this game out.
My son actually asked me about this game today!! I bet he’s going to love it
I think it is definitely important to find things that you can enjoy doing together, even if you can’t get out of the house.
great post
ha! My idea of video games is my Wii Fit
I am not a big gamer personally but this sounds like a great way to have couple time
Ours usually revolves around movies LOL
I’m not a huge gamer. The last video game my husband and I played together was Lego Star Wars and we beat the game at 100%. Obviously, that was years before we became parents.
I have not played a game in years, but my husband loves to.
Sounds awesome!
Sounds like a fun game.
My husband would love this game.
Sounds like a really fun game.
I love that the two of you bond over video games. It’s like my husband and I bonding over sports. Both aren’t typical girl activities, which just makes us even more awesome wives!
I think it’s cool that you play it together.
great game. my teen loves it.
I wonder if my husband would like this one. Ill check it out!
sounds like a nice way to spend time with your husband….
I retweeted and think my son would really enjoy this game…he too loves his games.
Sounds like fun!
My husband and son love these kinds of games. I don’t find them relaxing at all, lol.
Lol. My outlook on them didn’t change overnight and believe me, my husband can get really annoying when he’s cursing at the tv (when he plays certain games).
Throughout the game, there are numerous outposts and radio towers that you’re encouraged to capture. These serve as perfect training grounds for the main missions – which, crucially, have a very different feel – something not achieved in Far Cry 2.
Sounds like a game my hubby would really like. Normally when he plays video games I blog, or search through Pinterest.
I think I would need to just leave the house alone for a truly relaxing time! HAHA!
I am not a big gamer either. But, my husband and I do love playing games together. it’s an easy way to have a “date” night at home
I used to play games all the time before they went 3D. Now I just let my son do it!
I think my husband would like this
Sounds like a fun game! My husband likes to play video games and I usually browse Pinterest while he’s doing it. LOL
My husband loves his video games too. I give you credit for sitting down and attempting to play with him.. I could never do it. Even though it IS something that may make him happy, I just can’t force myself to do it.. And you know, I may even like it if I took the time to try, but taking the time is the hard part.
I’m not a big video gamer, but it sounds fun!
Relax? Games? I’ve given up on those since Gus if 4 months and Sweet T is 2 1/2. Hopefully one day though! Have fun gaming.
My daughter and son in law play video games at night, too. It’s their way of unwinding from a stressful day.
I’ll have to check this out.
This sounds like a fun game.
Sounds like a cool game!
