A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Spring is in the air and summer is coming up so quickly so it's the perfect time to get the family outside - kids AND parents - to play together, make memories and HAVE FUN! Whether it’s pool & beach toys and games, or backyard or schoolyard games, COOP Sports has kids and parents of all ages covered!

Pickleball, Football, Volleyball? With Hydro’s incredible line of all condition recreational sports gear, kids are enticed to get out there and make a splash every day. The backyard, lakeside or pool are ideal spots for these 100% waterproof toys that allow uninterrupted play. Plus they look good and perform great!

When it’s time for play, kids are introduced to various sports at school and around the neighborhood. While soccer, basketball and football games continue to fill the bleachers; other sports can be just as fun. COOP suggests a round with these water sports -- Whistle Dart ($8.99), Paddle Pickle Ball ($7.99) or Subskate ($14.99) among many outdoor options.

We are LOVIN' Pickleball and how fun to now play it in the water! The Coop Paddle and Pickle Ball game set is fun for backyard, park, or beach play. Paddle Ball or Pickle Ball, which game will you play? Smack, volley, return – how long can you keep the ball moving?

No net, court, or other accessories required to play a classic paddle ball game, or take your paddles and the included pickle ball to the court for a more challenging game of pickle ball.

Includes:

Two (2) wooden paddles
One (1) pickle ball
One (1) rubber ball

And we can't wait to play Hydro Spring Hoops in the lake at the cabin this summer (once the water warms up!)

Set up these baskets in the pool and bring your game for an inflatable basketball court. The patented inner spring provides stability in the water. Kids and grown-ups appreciate the fabric cover features sporting on-trend graphics. The enclosed inflatable ball boasts a textured grip for non-slip performance. The whole set has a twist-and-fold design for easy portability and storage. When play is over, fold the base flat and compact to tuck inside the carry/storage bag.

We also are lovin' the Hydro Wake Breaker!  Impress your friends with this ball that floats. Throw it like you're skipping a rock and watch how it bounces on water! This ball is designed not to absorb water so it's always easy to retrieve, floating atop the lake, ocean or pool. No more searching for a sunken ball. At just $7.99, the Wake Breaker won’t break the family budget either!

It's a great way to work on hand-eye coordination and have fun at the same time!

LeakFree Watering System & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Summer is in full swing and many of you are using your hoses, nozzles and sprinklers on a daily basis to water your lawn and garden...especially if you are in a drought like we are currently in! So how many times have you turned on the hose and saw water squirting from a new hole in the hose? How many times has the nozzles broken? If you get frustrated with these watering system issues, then you have got to check out the awesome LeakFree Watering System and accessories!

The product is a world’s first for watering tools, as it will solve the No.1 frustration among consumers when working in the garden this summer – leaks. The LeakFree by Gilmour and LeakFree by Nelson watering systems are guaranteed to be completely leak-free from faucet to nozzle.

The LeakFree system guarantees watertight connections for completely leak-free watering and is designed to save users both time and money, while keeping them dry in the process. Years in the making, LeakFree distinguishes itself from other leak-resistant products through its patented triple-seal technology that prevents leaks at all connection points: faucet to hose to watering tool. In addition, a built-in automatic shutoff valve stops the flow of water to keep users dry while changing watering tools, such as nozzle to sprinkler.

This first-to-market system offers another practical benefit: tool-less assembly. In just a few seconds, users can simply push, turn and lock the LeakFree components in place to ensure a watertight seal. The double-action locking mechanism is designed to withstand years of wear and tear. Durable metal casing around internal seals limits their exposure to the elements, thus, extending the life of the product, which is protected by a 7-year limited guarantee.

Both the LeakFree by Gilmour and LeakFree by Nelson product lines feature a starter kit that includes all the necessary fundamentals for a leak-free watering experience from start to finish: a LeakFree adjustable spray nozzle, a 50-foot LeakFree heavy-duty hose and LeakFree faucet-to-hose connector.

I love that the starter kit comes with everything I need to water my garden this summer WITHOUT worrying about a leak springing! Plus, I can assemble it myself and use it with ease!

The LeakFree family also offers these innovative products:

Goddess Garden, a Boulder-based skincare company, was founded in 2004 by Nova Covington, entrepreneur and mom. As a new mother, Nova was inspired to create organic skincare products initially for her daughter Paige, who was allergic to sulfates, the synthetic soap in traditional bath products. Motivated to develop safe skincare solutions, Nova launched additional natural products, including sunscreen made with over 82% Organic ingredients using pure minerals, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, as the active agents for sun protection -- the highest organic content of any sunscreen on the market.

In 2009, Goddess Garden launched its line of Organic Sunscreen that protects and nourishes without harsh chemicals. This long-lasting SPF 30 sunscreen is made with sheer minerals that reflect 97% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Goddess Garden’s line of organic suncare products is water resistant, non-greasy, absorb quickly and nourish sensitive skin with the highest percentage of organic ingredients available in a sunscreen—over 82 percent! Goddess Garden continues to innovate by recently introducing the first organic, chemical-free sunscreen in a spray.

Nickelodeon Summer Products Review

Summer is finally here and with school out kids will be spending much of their time outside in the summer sun. More time outside means you and your kids have to be prepared for everything, and Nick is here with some great summer toys to help you and your kids through the summer season.

Below you’ll find toys and protection products that I received featuring some of Nickelodeon’s favorite characters – SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer!

Band-Aid Dora the Explorer Adhesive Bandages transform Moments of Hurt into Moments of Healing. BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages are the products your kids will want to put on. Helps make healing more fun!

SpongeBob SquarePants Nylon Kite is a specially designed kite made of durable poly construction is sure to impress your friends and family. Comes with line, handle and is ready to play with easy assembly.

I also received the SpongeBob SquarePants Kickboard which makes a great addition to any pool party or beach outing this summer!

My Opinion

Summer is here and so are the fun outside activities! Some of my family's favorite outings are to the beach!

These Nick products, especially the kickboard and kite are perfect for the beach this summer. My son loves the kit and watching it fly high in the sky! And he especially loves being in the water and the challenge of laying or sitting on the kickboard in the lake waves!

The Dora band-aids are really useful for all the little owies my son gets and he wants to keep the band-aids on because they have fun characters on them!

I recommend the Nick products for all children this summer! Help them get active outside with the kite and kickboard and when they fall down or get hurt, soothe them with the fun Dora band-aids!

Buy It: You can purchase all Nick toys and products at the Nick shop online!

Sea Squirts Life Jacket Review

Unfortunately more than 900 children drown each year in the United States. It's the second-leading cause of unintentional death among children 1 to 14. In the case of drowning deaths from boating accidents, 90% of the victims were not wearing life jackets. That's why it's so important to carry life jackets that kids want to wear.
