All of our kids love their tech gadgets from their tablets to handheld gaming devices and the Nintendo DS is a favorite among my oldest 2. Whether they&rsquo;re having free time and relaxing on the couch, playing in the car, waiting with me at an appointment, or we&rsquo;re traveling they almost always have their DS with them. Some of our daughter&rsquo;s new favorite games are Tomodachi Life and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG.png\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11212\" src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG.png\" alt=\"#PlayNintendoCG\" width=\"433\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG.png 433w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG-300x450.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" data-webp=\"true\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11212 lazyload\" alt=\"#PlayNintendoCG\" width=\"433\" height=\"650\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) calc(100vw - 48px), 433px\" data-webp=\"true\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG.png\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG.png 433w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/PlayNintendoCG-300x450.png 300w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20433%20650'%3E%3Crect%20width='433'%20height='650'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our daughter loves heading to grandpa&rsquo;s house for the weekend and takes her DS with her where she shares it with her Aunt who is a tween.

You start by creating Mii characters and customizing everything about them. You then have fun recreating your best friend, your favorite actor, mom and dad, co-workers&hellip; whoever! Then watch as they rap, rock, eat donuts, fall in love, break up, go shopping, play games, and live their crazy Mii lives. It&rsquo;s a simulation for kids that is not only kid approved, but mom approved. Some of the other simulation games out there are just too mature for young girls to be playing but Tomodachi Life is just right and provides lots of silly fun for the girls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life.png\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11215\" src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life.png\" alt=\"Tomodachi Life\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life.png 650w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" data-webp=\"true\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11215 lazyload\" alt=\"Tomodachi Life\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) calc(100vw - 48px), 650px\" data-webp=\"true\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life.png\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life.png 650w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Tomodachi-Life-300x199.png 300w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20650%20433'%3E%3Crect%20width='650'%20height='433'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The girls love being able to create their simulated lives in Tomodachi Life as well as creating things, exploring, having fun, and much more!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-11193\" src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover.jpg\" alt=\"Animal Crossing - New Leaf Game Cover\" width=\"553\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover.jpg 834w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover-300x273.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" data-webp=\"true\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-11193 lazyload\" alt=\"Animal Crossing - New Leaf Game Cover\" width=\"553\" height=\"505\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) calc(100vw - 48px), 553px\" data-webp=\"true\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover.jpg 834w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Animal-Crossing-New-Leaf-Game-Cover-300x273.jpg 300w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20553%20505'%3E%3Crect%20width='553'%20height='505'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With Animal Crossing: New Leaf you become mayor of your own town and you make the decisions that shape your town and your life.

The girls can collect things to make money, buy a house and improve it, head to town, fish, run their town, interact with characters (which can be pretty funny), and do lots more. They love being able to name and run their own town and then run around collecting things to contribute to the town or sell off to make money. I&rsquo;m a huge fan of Animal Crossing and it&rsquo;s one of my favorite nintendo games so I love that the girls love it as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235.png\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11216\" src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235.png\" alt=\"#TomodachiLife\" width=\"433\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235.png 433w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235-300x450.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" data-webp=\"true\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11216 lazyload\" alt=\"#TomodachiLife\" width=\"433\" height=\"650\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) calc(100vw - 48px), 433px\" data-webp=\"true\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235.png\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235.png 433w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/IMG_8235-300x450.png 300w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20433%20650'%3E%3Crect%20width='433'%20height='650'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both games are available for purchase through the Nintendo Estore and in stores where Nintendo DS games are sold!<\/p>\n<p><i>I was selected for this opportunity as a member of <a href=\"http:\/\/clvr.li\/OHjC82\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Clever Girls<\/a> and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&rsquo;ve talked about our love for tech stuff many times on this blog and how we travel a lot.
