Is Your Pool Protected? Pool Alarms Are A Must Have

2009-07-01T16:50:00-04:00

Did you know that a child can drown in the time it takes to answer one phone call? And of the children that are hospitalized for near drowning incidents, 20 percent of them suffer permanent neurological disabilities. While nothing can replace the watchful eye of adult supervision, there are products that can help to prevent accidents when you weren’t expecting guests in your pool.

Fences around pools are required by many local governments. They work well as a barrier for younger children and pets. But older children can maneuver through these barriers. An innocent attempt to retrieve a ball that has been thrown into the pool area has potential for danger. A child can overextend trying to reach for an object that has fallen into the pool, lose their balance, and fall into the pool. There are alarms that can be installed on fences to bring attention to the area if someone should enter. Installing in-ground swimming pool alarms or another device that detects motion in the water can offer piece of mind this swimming season at a nominal price.

How to Keep the Kids Busy This Summer

2009-06-22T13:12:00-04:00

Kids love to be outside now that the weather is warmer, and who can blame them! There are so many activities to keep them busy; soccer, football and Frisbee get the cardio pumping and work on the eye-hand coordination.

Themed bikes or scooters with helmets like Barbie or Spiderman will help children dream up their next outdoor adventure.

Girls might want to jump rope or play on their roller-blades, while the boys play marbles or road hockey and trade their Pokemon cards with friends. And for the littler tykes, ride-on toys will help them join in the fun with their older siblings. Sounds like fun!

Lazy Days of Summer

2009-05-11T15:37:00-04:00

Well, the nice and humid weather has finally arrived .. and with that comes children playing outside and getting dirty. Our daughter, loves the sandbox and will find any sandbox within a one mile radius. She received princess sandbox toys for her birthday and they are getting put to good use.

Last year we bought water swords which were so much fun. They were perfect for sneaking up on the kids and spraying and cooling them off, The old stand by of course is the water sprinker because we do not have a pool. I picked up one last year that reminds me of our Hawaiian honeymoon. It is a volcano sprinkler and spurts water high in the air every few seconds.. the kids loved jumping over it. There are all sorts of cool water sprinkler toys now.

Our five year old son loves Indiana Jones (evverything old is new again) and is asking for Indiana Jones toys so there may be a visit to the local toys store in his future.

I know that the months before our son returns to school will be fun and full of great memories. Summer's finally here!

Making the most out of your sick down-time

2009-03-12T16:55:00-04:00

Another cold is upon me so I’ve huddled down to let it run its course. Since I feel like doing absolutely nothing, I‘ve chosen from a variety of books to read from Sophie Kinsella, Stephenie Meyer, and Barack Obama. Movies are always a good choice as well while waiting for the Cold-FX to kick in. The choices are numerous from romances like “The NoteBook” to action packed dramas such as “The Dark Knight”. Of course my day would not be complete without my flannel pajamas, slippers and blanket to keep the chill away. Hope to be back in the land of the living soon!

Silicone bakes it right

2009-03-07T15:17:00-05:00

It all started with a silicone baking sheet as Martha Stewart preached the benefits of her Silpat nonstick. Without any additional grease needed, it was easy to clean up, and claimed when used it was hard to burn your baked goods.

Intrigued, I went out and bought my first one and I quickly fell in love with it. The obsession with silicone bakeware began there. Subsequent purchases were made for traditional styles, bundt, cup cake and loaf-style “pans”.

I then became a fan of the whimsical shapes such as sunflower, butterfly and fleur-de-lis. And let’s not forget about my holiday collection of hearts, pumpkins, pine trees, snowman and eggs. My favorite, however, has got to be the giant cupcake…I’m sure you know why. My entire silicone baking collection is oven, freezer and dishwasher safe in addition to being lightweight, easy to stack and even foldable if storage space is tight.
