Whether it’s pool & beach toys and games, or backyard or schoolyard games, COOP Sports has kids and parents of all ages covered!

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!

D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor

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

I can still remember when I was a kid and our basement flooded. It was a complete mess and it took hours and hours of clean up. It is a memory that has lasted for me forever and I now that I am a homeowner, it is a BIG fear I have every time we have a big storm!

But I have gotten some peace of mind now that I own the D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor!

The Wi-Fi Water Sensor (DCH-S160) is a compact device that plugs into an open power outlet and alerts users with a loud siren whenever it comes in contact with water. In addition to the audible siren with six different customizable tones, customers will also get push notifications with the free mydlink Home app on their smartphones or tablet to ensure they're aware of a water leak no matter their location.

The Wi-Fi Water Sensor can be placed near washing machines, sump pumps, water heaters, sinks, dishwashers, refrigerators, or anywhere in the home where a water leak may occur. The Water Sensor comes with two cables: a 3.3 feet extension cable and a specially designed 1.6 feet sensing cable that detects water along its entire length. When water is detected, a 70dB alarm will sound and an LED will flash to give users audio and visual warnings.

More about the Wi-Fi Water Sensor:

* Push Notifications - Receive an alert on your mobile device and sound an audible alarm when a water leak is detected

* Simple Setup - Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button and mydlink Home mobile app offers quick and easy setup to connect to connect to your existing Wi-Fi network.

* Local and Remote Control - Controlled by the free mydlink(r) Home mobile app

* Versatile Placement - Extendable water sensing cable, with standard RJ-11 cable, allows for water sensing far from an outlet

* Pairs with other mydlink Devices - Works with other mydlink-enabled devices such as the Wi-Fi Siren, Wi-Fi Smart Plugs and Wi-Fi Cameras

* Compact Design - One-piece wall-plug design is compact and portable

Besides the great peace of mind I have using this Water Sensor, I also LOVE how easy it is to set up! Just set it up in minutes with 3 easy steps!

So if you are doing a DIY project around a water supply and are worried or are just looking for peace of mind in your house, then you need the D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor!

Buy It:

You can purchase the D-Link Wi-Fi Water Sensor (DCH-S160) for $65.99 at Amazon.com, Bestbuy.com, and throughout D-Link's vast network of retail and e-tail outlets.

Stay Hydrated and Healthy with 1907Water

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

The new year is definitely well underway!

How are you doing with your New Year's Resolution??!!

One of my resolutions was to drink more water to keep better hydrated, lose weight and sustain breastfeeding. I think I have been doing better this new year, especially since I started drinking 1907Water!

1907Water is sourced 680 feet deep at the foot of New Zealand’s Kaimanawa Ranges, resulting in pure, uncontaminated water.1907 New Zealand artesian water is bottle at the source and delivered to the United States. It is so unique because it is fresh naturally alkalined water.

Due to its natural alkalinity, 1907water helps balance the body’s acidity levels, by mitigating the negative effects caused by stress, lack of sleep and poor diet. Their pH can vary slightly because it is a natural product.

Having a naturally high alkaline water with a lower mineral content has a particular advantage that waters without this combination cannot match: taste and softness. The high alkalinity gives the feeling of silkiness on the pallet and thelower mineral content ensures a smooth finish, not a soapy aftertaste.​

I really noticed the softer, better taste. I don't normally like bottled water because of the aftertaste but I absolutely didn't taste any weird aftertaste with 1907Water. It was smooth and really refreshing, especially after a hard workout or volleyball game!

Plus, I love that 1907Water’s bottles are made of 100% recycled BPA-free PET and are 100% recyclable.

Buy It: 

1907Water recently launched to US retailers so now American consumers can taste the essence of New Zealand fresh artisan water.You can purchase in 3 attractive sizes (MSRP 2 Liter $3.99,&nbs p;1 liter $2.19, 500ml: $1.29)
