This week we happened upon Crystal Creatures from Mega Construx and I already knew we were done for. I mean, it’s mystical creatures that you BUILD and it has some sort of reference to crystals. My kids were so in. So, I let the kids each pick out a mystery egg, and then a bonus extra one for when we inevitably ended up with a duplicate. Mom of the Year, right?
I love MPOWERD® lights and was so excited to meet with them at CES this year. I’ve been a big fan for years and have owned several of their solar lights for camping, home use, and more, so of course I wanted to see their newest offerings. It turns out, their newest lights are even cooler than I could have imagined, packed with features and ready for anything.
Sometimes you’re at the park and you notice that it’s perfectly lit in one of the last golden hours of summer. And, of course you must do a 30 second photo shoot to commemorate it. I’m so sad that it’s the end of summer, the end of no schedules, and the end of lazy days doing whatever we want. But, I also know that it’s important to celebrate the fun we had, and embrace this coming school year.
It felt like all dishwashers were more or less the same for roughly 30 years. And, then in the past 5 years or so, there’s been so many dishwashing innovations. These newest Bosch models are the smartest dishwashers I’ve ever seen, with functions I never even knew I needed. We’re talking automatic everything, adjustable to a shocking degree, and the quietest operation I’ve ever experienced.
I think I’ve finally outdone myself with the addition of the AlleyOOP Outback Trampoline Tent to our JumpSport Elite Trampoline. The kids have had so much fun bouncing in and around the AlleyOOP tent for hours, playing all sorts of games, and now are so excited to take their trampoline camping to the next level thanks to this awesome tent that gives all the fun of trampoline sleeping, without all the bugs.
Now that we’re in full summer swing, our awesome new Coconut Floats have already gotten quite the workout at our friend’s lake house and at pool dates. I knew the kids were going to love them, but I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with them myself. But, I find their floats are perfect for relaxing in and getting in all the kiddo snuggles I want, without worrying about whether or not it will survive our play.
Take the stress out of planning and hosting a summer birthday party by moving it indoors to a place that specializes in parties. No worries about inclement weather, sweltering temperatures, or fighting off crowds to claim a spot in a busy park or beach. Chuck E. Cheese’s offers good old air conditioned fun and has everything you need to make your kiddo feel like a star on their special day, all without adding extra stress to your to-do list.
You probably remember how much we love the Internet Essentials program, right? I love that it is helping close the digital divide by providing low cost internet and technology resources to families in need. But, now I love it ever more now that Comcast is expanding the eligibility for Internet Essentials to include all qualified low-income households in Washington state.
