Preventing Fireworks Mishaps at Your Summer Gatherings
Although fireworks are a staple of summertime gatherings, a fair number of us need a refresher on how to properly handle them. Since a single oversight can result in personal injury, property damage, uncontained fire, or some combination thereof, safety should be foremost on your mind whenever fireworks are involved. Fortunately, proper firework safety isn’t nearly as daunting as many people make it look. By taking the following measures, you can help ensure that firework mishaps are a non-presence at your summer shindigs. Keep Children Away It’s easy to see why children are naturally drawn to fireworks. In addition to making loud noises, fireworks are colorful and closely associated with…

Six Things to Do Right Now to Get Your House Ready for Summer
People often relate the summer season with extended vacations, relaxing time on beaches, and long strolls at the parks. And while you might be waiting for the summer since January, is your home ready for it? The thought of getting the house prepared for the heat days probably sits at the back of our minds during this period. Not to forget how the majority of us have sequestered ourselves in the homes since the past year. All of this is just with the intent to play our part in declining the COVID-19 curve. It doesn’t matter if you wish to spend a vacation somewhere during this summer season. You still…

Bean Bag Bucketz – Outdoor Family Fun
It’s that time of year when we all want to spend more time outside and with the end of COVID – more and more time outside. Yard games are extremely popular and a great way to have fun with your friends and family. Bean Bag Bucketz is the perfect game for these occasions. The game contains a telescopic pole (three pieces) with legs, two large size baskets, two medium-size baskets, and three small baskets. This outdoor game can be played by 2 to 16 people – though personally, I think the most fun is with two. My box didn’t have directions. I am unsure if they were missing or don’t…

How to Keep Your Dog Properly Hydrated in the Summer
No matter what time of year, keeping your dog hydrated is critical for their health. During the summer, checking in on your dog’s drinking routine is even more critical. Not only can inadequate hydration cause bladder or kidney issues, but poor drinking habits can also contribute to heatstroke during the summer months. There is no exact measurement that anyone can give you for how much water your dog should drink each day. The amount of water needed will differ for each dog based on its size, surroundings, diet, and level of exercise. However, dog owners should attempt to give their dog between ½ to 1 whole ounce of water per…

Summer’s Coming – Get The Docks In!
It is hard to believe summer is just around the corner. We have spent the last month in Connecticut under social distancing – the kids now distance learn from home and I now work from home. Their karate lessons, games with friends etc – all online. It really seems like our lives and priorities have been turned upside down. We went from arguing with the kids to get off the technology and get outside – to having one child on technology for school four hours a day and another child for seven hours. With all of that I am expected to still meet all the needs of my full time…

Splash2o Comes to Indiegogo
All kids love splash pads and ours is no different. There aren’t many around in our area so when we can get there they are so incredibly crowded and unfortunately for us we don’t get the opportunity for long for our kids to enjoy it. We have special needs children and in particular an autistic son who LOVES splash pads but most parents don’t understand an 18 year old young man running around acting like he is 7. So I find myself making excuses so often for not going. And when he plays he is loud and can sound scary but he is just having so much fun. Splash2o is…
