Baby Georgie is the nick name my son had for about an hour today. It was so cute when we took him to the mall play area. Two little girls a few years older than my son decided his name was Baby Georgie and that he was their new playmate. He smiled so big as they had him chase them all over the place. They would yell at him "Chase us Baby Georgie" he would get an almost embarrassed look on his face and take off chasing them.
Its interesting to watch my son interact with other kids. With boys is growling, swinging fists and yelling things about super heroes. With little girls they are more gentle, thankfully my son knows this. Last time we went he was punched in the face when he got too close to a girls face, he looked over at me and cried. I was just glad he did not hit her back like he does with boys.
The little girls who nicked name him Baby Georgie were sweet to him, encouraging and helpful. Funny enough when we asked him if he had fun after we left, he said he was a Baby Horsie! LOL he thought they were calling him a horse, I did see him kind of skip hopping while they were running, he was trying to gallop like a horse. A Georgie or Horsie I am just glad he had fun.
For my family the backyard is an extension of our home. I love to sit outside near the garden, put my feet up and relax. Nothing is more fun to be in the fresh air, birds chirping and my son running around the yard with the dog. As the summer comes to an end we are happy for the memories and love to celebrate the summer with one last party. Labor Day marks the official wind down of summer but since we have great weather until late September it also is a reminder to have as much fun as we can until the rain starts. Many of our friends have kids that start school and Labor Day is a great time to have a last fun party of the summer.
Before my son was born a few years ago we would have a Labor Day party at our local river. With a toddler and friends that also have small kids its much more fun to have an at home Outdoor Party. Having the right outdoor living items can make a party a success. For my family we have a small bbq but for a party we would love one of the big grills from Kmart. I read a few reviews of the items and would love to have the red Kennmore 4 burner grill. Red is my favorite color for this summer and Kmart has many great items to go along with my color scheme.
Right now my back yard has a pool, two garden beds and scattered
seating. For a perfect party a new dining set, a gazebo, a grill and a
swing would be wonderful. A nice grill is the prefect way to serve food at an outdoor party. Ribs, steak, corn, veggie kabobs and even grilled watermelon are delicious grilled summer food. For the kids a croquet set, shaved ice maker
and a smores basket would keep them happily entertained. I have
wonderful memories as a kid using our shaved ice maker and playing
croquet. Classic outdoor fun!
We loved playing this as kids. I forgot about this classic game until I saw it in the background of one page in the Kmart Catalog. The catalog was full of ideas for summer fun.
I looked online at the Kmart Outdoor Living Catalog to get ideas for items we would need for our Perfect Outdoor Labor Day Party. Another great place to get inspiration for your outdoor living space is the Kmart Outdoor Living site that is full of ideas from real people in all design types.

The color selection at Kmart is great. Many colors to inspire a theme to your outdoor decor.
With all of the great items I found at Kmart for a Perfect Outdoor Labor Day Party I created a Polyvore board and a list on List.ly. Its a fun way to share ideas for outdoor living inspirations. #KmartOutdoor

7 months old? How is this possible already? Wow time flies!! Miss Ashley is 7 months old and is already chasing down her brothers by crawling everywhere and she is even cruising around the furniture! She pulls herself up to everything and walks around it with ease, we call her Superbaby!!! This girl is so sweet and so loving. Seriously she the best baby ever! Ashley is a joy and everyday with her gets better and better :)
Today's typical home includes many electronics, including computers, laptops, game systems, Smartphones and more. With all these pieces of equipment comes wires and the endless problem of how to deal with them. Having my grandkids come over often I want to make sure the cords for our entertainment will be out of the way. I want to be able to easily take my laptop to the kitchen to use a recipe and then onto the patio to read an eBook. My daughter has recommended I try a Cisco Linksys product since she loves the one she has. Since I rely on the internet for work and entertainment I thought it would be best to go with a brand my family trusts.
The Linksys EA2700 wireless router is the perfect answer for making the ultimate connected home possible. This would also be a great item to get your family in the back to school mode. College, high school and even grade school kids need internet connection and a router like the Linksys EA2700 will help you easily create your own home network for all your devices. Linksys has a few Back to School specials and Free Shipping on some items on their Online Store.
Benefits of the new EA2700 include unrivaled speed and is ideal for:
• Creating a powerful wireless network, plus, share files and game at wired speeds 10x faster than Ethernet.
• Networking larger households and home offices
• Surfing the Web, emailing and printing wirelessly
• Connecting multiple users and devices at high speed
• Transferring and downloading larger files
• Streaming multimedia and gaming
Being new to setting up a wireless internet system I found the Linksys FAQ page to be very helpful. I suggest reading it if you have any questions before or after your purchase.
