It’s time to put the skis away and enjoy some fun warm-weather sports. If your family loves the outdoors, chances are that kayaking, mountain climbing and sailing are on the agenda. So get out the sunblock, bug spray and sunglasses, and have some fun!

Our Xtreme Sunglasses for children are just what you need for your outdoor adventures. The sunglasses provide serious sun protection and are made to stay on the most active kids. The patented mesh-lined band is constructed to be comfortable while securely fastened on your child’s head. We challenge your child to make these sunglasses fall off!

The 100% UVA/UVB sunglasses have a smart wrap-around style that blocks peripheral light. Plus, your kids will love them because they look super cool!

Real Kids Shades Xtreme sports sunglasses are available in two sizes: ages 3-7 and ages 7-12.

Special Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day

2012-05-03T17:45:08Z

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13, 2012, so it’s time to start doing some preparation for honoring your mother—or, if you are a mom yourself, you may want to share this post with your kids or husband!

Here are some thoughtful ways to celebrate the special mothers in your life:

Decide if mom might want a day off from the kids or more time with them. Let’s face it—mothers of little ones are probably happy for Mother’s Day to be a day of R & R away from the kids, while mothers of teens are sure to crave some time with their children who never seem to be around!
Celebrate all special mothers in your life. You don’t have to confine a Mother’s Day celebration to your own family. Take the time to do something special for friends and neighbors to show how much you appreciate their efforts to be a great mom.
Create something special for mom. Nothing beats a homemade gift, and particularly one that features photos of their little ones! Family Fun has great craft ideas on their website.
Honor hard-working mothers by donating to mothers in need. Many organizations help mothers and their children. Donating to this type of charity will honor motherhood everywhere.
Create a Mother’s Day Memory Jar. Decorate a large glass jar and have each child write down a special memory about mom to be saved inside. The memories can be added to year after year, and it will become a treasured family heirloom.

Does your family have any special ways they celebrate Mother’s Day? Leave a comment and let us know.
