Year-round water fun with Coconut Pool Floats

Coconut Float Floatopia Party

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.

See The Secret Life of Pets 2 in theaters now

RR The Secret Life of Pets 2

As a society, we’ve long been obsessed with the idea of figuring out what our pets are thinking and why they do the things they do, which is why movies that feature talking animals are always such a hit. This is especially true with the release of The Secret Life of Pets a few years back, which was quickly a favorite with my kiddos. So, to say that they were excited about the new Secret Life of Pets 2 that is out in theaters now is an understatement.

Parents: get in on the fun with the Swagtron K8 Titan kick scooter

Swagtron riding

Not just another kids’ ride, the K8 from Swagtron was built to withstand grownup weight and accommodate grownup heights. No longer do we need to take turns or throw out our backs scooting about the neighborhood, because the K8 gives me my own lightweight and foldable scooter with adult-sized adjustments that has all the bells and whistles that I could have ever asked for.

I may never be able to pull off the themed lunches that circulate the internet, but I can make any lunch *seem* themed by the simple addition of Brawny® origami.
