Camping Fun all Year Round for the Kids

Looking for a great gift for a child this Holiday Season? Look no further then this 20 Piece Camping Adventure Kit from Picasso Tiles. This is slotted for 3 years and up. We had children up to ages 15 playing with this and even the adults thought the pieces that came with it were awesome.   

There are 20 pieces in all 

• Camping Tent
• Gas Stove (2 AA Batteries required)
• Oil Lamp (2 AA Batteries required)
• Water Bottle
• 2 Walkie Talkies (3 AA Batteries required for each)
• Pan
• Shovel
• 2 Hot Dog & Steak
• 2 Plates
• First Aid Kit Box
• Binoculars
• Multi-function Whistle
• 2 Utility Knives
• Watch

The tent is great for having a little space for quite time in the corner or your child's room anytime of the year, and can be played with outside during nice days too.

We really liked the accessories and how easily the tent pops up and down for use as well as storage. We do however wish the tent was more resistant to stains. Although ours has not stained yet we know what we like in quality of items like this and had just wished for more parachute like quality of fabric for this, with that being said this is a fun product and well worth the price and wow factor in our child's eyes. Those are the real people who have to be happy with the product when the day is over.

Adventure is just around the corner. The tent pops up quickly as well as  folding down just just as easily and everything fits back into the bag that it was packaged into to store away in between use.

Kitty Play

Our family was homeless for a little over 14 months. Before we were homeless we had re homed our Saint Bernard and 5 Kitties. We are now getting settled and in a few short days will be parents to a set of sister kitties. Since re homing our pets we have bought a few items like this cat teaser from Goldween in preparation when we could start our fur family again. 

This set comes with 4 feathers and 6 balls. One ball is missing a turquoise and orange ball that my daughter took for her kitty Gummy to play with. I really love how the pieces can be played with on the teaser wand or independently on the floor. They just clip on and off so you can change up your play with your kitty for optimal fun. 

I can not wait to have fun with our new fur family members. This set can be found at my affiliate link below.

Kitty Fun

We have three kitties and they love to play around. Most of the time it is in the wee hours of the morning when we hear them running back and forth across the floor, knocking things down, but we do see them during the day as well cleaning each other, cuddling, and forever crawling on my chest or lap to sleep.

This tunnel is something we can set up and they will come back again and again to play with. They have a great time popping in and out of the holes and trying to catch each other.

Awesome fun for your active kitties. Easy to set up and folds flat for storage in between uses.



This cat tunnel can be found on Amazon.

Let your children pretend to cook

This is such a cute set. Like I said in my video I have never seen a spaghetti spoon in a kids set before so this is my favorite piece.  For my 7 years old she loves that this looks just like the set mommy has and the pot holder is also one of her favorite pieces.

This set would be great for home or school use. I think Kitchen centers are just one of the biggest and nicer toys to have for an inside toy for your children. This is where children learn to plan and make meals.

The introduce their dolls or friends playing to new foods that they sometimes are trying on their own. Hey if their doll likes it they might eat it the next time it is served to them. Realistic playware like this set here is a great addition to the kitchen center.

My daughter loves to bring me bowls of homemade pretend soup she has made, new pastries, tea, as well as all other sorts of foods for me to try. I love that this set is so close to the real thing but in a child size.

Little and Mighty

This little lantern is so bright at full strength. I was surprised. Great for camping, hiking, emergency lighting, for children to play with.

I really like that this throws off so much light. I just can't get over it. I also like that if my husband and I are not home when there is a power outage I don't have to worry about the children lighting candles they can just get this and have all of the light they need until the power comes back on.

Small but powerful. You will need 3 AA batteries for this to work. The only way to make this better would be for it to be solar or a wind up lantern.

You can purchase the Galactic Lighting LED Micro Lantern on Amazon.

The touch plastic makes this very durable and is ideal for most environments and conditions.

Fun with water balloons

Summer is here and if you have children like I do then Summer isn't over until you have a balloon fight. Everyone knows water balloons are for well water, but you can use them for so many other things, like making hair accessories, games where you throw a dart at the balloons, and of course different kinds of balloon arrangements where you need a smaller balloon, and what better way to achieve that then by using water balloons.

So get out there with or without your children and have a ball.




You can purchase these water balloons on Amazon.
