Indoor Fall Fun: Crazy Forts Review

As Fall approaches and the weather starts to turn here in Washington we start looking for more and more things to do indoor to keep the kids busy. My boys love to build and play in tents so when I heard about Crazy Forts , I knew that we had to get one! We have built many forts at our house with blankets and sheets but they were lacking the structure to keep it up properly.

Crazy Forts gives you easy instructions and some pretty cool design ideas that take 5 minutes to put together.

Liam is so excited about the new Crazy Fort they will build :)

The boys "helping" Dad.

Ready to go!

The finished product! Can you see Liam poking out of the blankets? That was our first attempt, next time we will use lighter bed linens like the sheets they suggest.

My boys have enjoyed building and rebuilding their forts, it has been great. It is cool to see what JJ will create next, maybe I have a little engineer on my hands? If you are looking for a cool way to make a tent or a fort when the rainy weather hits Crazy Forts is the way to go!

You can learn more about Crazy Forts on Facebook.  You can join the facebook page and upload your photos of new and creative Crazy Forts designs. You can look at their website to see who carries Crazy Forts in your area. You can also shop at home online at Shop In Bliss for a Crazy Fort. It would make a great gift.

9/11 Remembrance: 11 Years Later

This year I have decided to share some stories from fellow bloggers with everyone. For me I will remember seeing all the happened on TV at a car dealership. We were getting the oil changed to have the car ready to drive to Lake Tahoe to get married later that week. The emotions of that day are still so fresh in the minds of all Americans. Hug the ones you love and honor the lives lost that day by living your life with kindness and love.

I thought it would be touching to see how different people experienced that horrible day. As Americans we all were affected and here are some stories of what happened that day for them.

Resource Natural Spring Water Review and $25 Spa Week Gift Card Giveaway

I really enjoy drink water. I don't like the ones with added colors or flavors, I love the taste of good old fashion water! Over Labor Day weekend we went to a outdoor event and it was a hot day. I decided to bring Resource® Natural Spring with us to drink to stay hydrated. There is no flavor of this water, thankfully, but it is very refreshing. Not sure if its the natural electrolytes or what. I read the label and was curious about how the water had natural electrolytes so I asked! This is what they said:  "Other water brands actually add in electrolytes to their water. However, the water we source resource Spring Water from has naturally occurring electrolytes. Our source is a natural, real spring in North America." Love that!! I want my water to just be that, water!

 Resource® Natural Spring water. resource is a 100% natural spring water with natural electrolytes for taste, sustainably sourced and packaged in a bottle made of 50% recycled plastic.* resource water is good for you and mindful of the Earth. With natural electrolytes for taste, its recycled bottle helps you keep nature in mind too. *excludes cap and label

"It is more than just hydration, it’s Total Electrolytenment™. Electrolytenment™ is about living a more enlightened and holistic life.–"

Resource Natural Spring Water wants you to have a relaxing time before you grab a bottle of water so they are offering a $25 Spa Week Gift Certificate to one of our lucky readers!

Its a Great Pumpkin.....in September

Ok so I know we are early on carving pumpkins lol. Its been several years since we have grown our own pumpkins for Halloween but this year we decided it would be fun to grow for our son. Funny thing is I thought it would take a lot longer for it to get big enough to carve, looks like I planted too early!

My son wanted to draw on it and have me carve the pumpkin as soon as he saw it has turned bright orange on the vine. We are in the process of changing the garden around so I figured we would cut it off the vine and carve it.

My son would not touch the slimy pumpkin insides which I knew he would not, he likes to have clean hands. But he loved it when I put a light in the pumpkin and turned off all the other lights. This is going to be a super fun Halloween this year. I am eager to see how he will react to costumes and trick or treats this year.

Have you started planning for Halloween? 

Pinterest has me thinking I will do new stuff this year. I am excited for it!
