I know I usually write about  product reviews, but today I want to do something a little different and write about a great place to take your kids for a day trip. The  is a wonderful and affordable place to go because it is free. You can leave a donation if you like to.For a fee you can do  rock climbing, zip lines, tight rope walking. They  have a play area for the kids with a brand new tree house made out of cedar wood, it is built around trees.Near the tree house is a  fountain where the children can play in. There is also  a sandbox, xylophone and much more. There are animals that you can view. We didn't get a chance to see them but I heard it is nice. Just bring some walking shoes and some lunch because this park in the mountains and you are sure to work up an appetite.The staff was very friendly and helpful. My children and I had such a wonderful time!

Home Renovation Contractors


5 Practical Home Additions for the Family

Many people will have additions built onto their home to boost sales value or curb appeal. However, there are some that can be more centered around the family. Instead of merely looking at an addition as a way to increase space, why not build something practical for everyone? Finding a home renovation contractor may be your first step in providing one of the following for your family.

Swimming Pool

Not only are swimming pools fun for the family, but they are one of the greatest tools for fitness. Everyone in the family may benefit from swimming as it may save money, boost health and entertain everyone for years to come. It also makes it easier to throw a pool-party barbecue during special occasions.

New Floors

Have you ever considered what new floors can do for yourself and the family? A lot of people don't take into consideration things like mold living under older pieces of carpet or padding. Not only will a new floor look nice, but it may also contribute to everyone breathing easier. This is especially true if there are asthmatics in the house.

Family Room Addition

A room specifically for family engagement can be a worthwhile investment. From game consoles to table-top board games, having an area specifically for this purpose can offer more to the experience. This also makes it easier to play without interfering with other people. You wouldn't want a heated game of Monopoly to interfere with someone watching a movie in the same room.

Landscaping

Studies show people who surround themselves with plant life are less likely to suffer from stress and depression. Some experts believe this to be true regardless of the age group. Landscaping gives you the opportunity to improve the mindset of everyone in the house. From garden areas to built-in waterfalls, the impact to everyone's mental stability could be worth the investment.

Paving and Concrete

Safer walkways are always a bonus for everyone. Replacing paving stones or fixing concrete driveways and sidewalks could mean the difference between walking up to the door or tripping and spraining and ankle. You should never underestimate the value of a good, flat surface when walking around the property.

Home additions are a way to expand living space while giving greater functionality to the homestead. These are only a few ideas that may be the most practical. After all, you're not the only one who lives in the house. Build onto the property and allow the family to feel comfortable. It may contribute to strengthening bonds of everyone under the roof.





Mamaway Ring Sling Review



If you are looking for a great and easy way to carry your baby then this Mamaway Ring Sling is  for you.
 This ring sling comes in a plastic box that states the benefits of wearing baby. I  like products that tell you the benefits of the product.When I opened the box the carrier was wrapped up in a little pouch, to my surprise this little carry pouch is actually sewn onto the carrier so you have a convenient way to store your carrier when not in use and you can easily put it in your diaper bag. I love the fact that it is very easy to put the baby in and out, because with other baby carrieers when the baby is asleep, it is hard to take the baby out without waking it!

 I was amazed by how easy it was to thread the carrier through the rings and how well the rings kept the fabric in place. The material just glides through the rings while you are tightening the carrier for a secure fit. The Prima Cotton is a very breathable and sturdy material so even in Summer I am able to use this Mamaway Ring Sling without getting hot.

I received the Mamaway Ring Sling free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
