The perfect kids' party has a lot of games, fun food and plenty of sweets. There are few things kids enjoy more than eating junk food, having a great time and running amok with their friends. Let them do just that for one day and they will go to bed happy, just like you want them to be on their birthday or other occasions. A good idea for a kids' party is to have it outdoors if possible since you don't want to have to worry about furniture and glassware getting ruined. Make sure there is plenty of food that is easy to make and eat, since they probably won't sit still long enough to eat a lot off of a plate. Easy décor Put up cardboard cut outs, paper trains and streamers, and in summer, an...

If you want a snack, just reach into the pouch of the...

Heat, insects, swimming pools and other outdoor items can present a safety hazard to your baby that you don't have to worry about any other time of the year.

Pool design has come a long way over the years. With advancements in technology and endless possibilities in modern engineering, swimming pools have become marvels of modern day design. No longer is a pool just a hole in the ground, with cinder block or poured wall construction. Yes, pools have gotten rather fancy. Swimming pools date back to 2500 B.C. in ancient Egypt and later in ancient Greece, Rome, and Assyria. Swimming pools became popular in the middle of the 19th century and have not looked back since. The standard backyard swimming hole has been outdone by unique design and elaborate construction. Who would have thought swimming pools would end up protruding over the side of skyscrapers...

In winter I get up at nightand dress by yellow candle-light. In summer quite the other way I have to go to bed by day. ~Robert Louis Stevenson I bet you are thinking of how to spend your summer vacation- your summer whereabouts.

Certainly you'd go for a resort that is all complete with swimming pool supplies. Too, you'd check if you and the rest of your group would have...

My husband and I felt the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary was to get a bite to eat and spend a day at the beach. Therefore, we drove out of Key West on US Highway 1 about 20 miles north to Mile Marker 25. We heard positive reviews about the Key West FishCutters restaurant in Summerland Key, and were dying to try their Lobster sandwich. Having never been there before, we were pleasantly impressed.

The food was excellent, and needlesstosay, we felt like stuffed whales when we got in our car and headed for the beach 12 miles north near...

Lake James is one of the loveliest lakes in Western North Carolina. An easy drive of less than an hour, Lake James State Park lies east of Asheville. We packed up the two eager dogs and went there one beautiful summer weekend. There is no entry fee. That was a welcome surprise. Leashed dogs were welcome, that was another welcome surprise. The cordoned off swimming area did not allow dogs, though. That made good sense to us. Instead, the park rangers aimed us up a gorgeous trail over a hill and through the woods. About a quarter of a mile up the trail was a little trail turnoff that led to a small lake inlet. We were happy to discover that we were the only ones there, that day. We set up blankets and...

ve it or not, you really can save money almost everyday of the year! Here are some of my secrets to saving money on almost every thing you buy. SEPTEMBER Cars. Auto manufacturers release their new models in October, so a lot of dealerships have to clear out the lot and make room for the new models by discounting the older stock in late summer. Those that car shop in September, should get up to $2,000 off a car with minimal negotiating. If you want to save money at any time of the year, you can ask the dealership about a “program car”. They are cars that are driven by the staff for up to 10,000 miles normally kept in extremely good shape. They are then sold at a very steep discount. You...

The school holidays are finally here and that means: quality time to spend with your kids. Relaxing time hopefully, at the beach or in the park. How about camping where the evergreens reach for the skies, and where occasionally you can see a wild deer nibbling away on the sparse grass that grows in the few places where the sun touches the ground. Listen to squirrels darting along branches they use for roads, as they clamber over the trees collecting their pine nuts and acorns. See the birds darting between the leaves, picking up insects as they go. Watch dead leaves drift lazily downwards, in the soft breeze that somehow managers to filter through the seemingly impressive wall of huge brown tree...

One of the leading causes of death and injury to children under the age of 14 is drowning according to the CDC. A swimming pool cover can prevent these needless tragedies.

are a few tips to help you get started with decorating your child's room. The best part about this is that your child can help you do it this time around, unlike when they were yet to be born or an infant. So this can be a fun project you can do together! 1. Wall colors should be determined after you purchase the bedspread set. This is because it is easier to mach the material to the color; than the color to the material. Select a new color to paint the walls, a color that your child likes and is from the material. If you have a strong objection to it, though, negotiate with perhaps a lighter version of that color, or limiting their color choice to only one wall. You can always use simple faux...

7 Tips for Decorating Your Child's Room If you're not sure where to start or how best to tackle updating your child's bedroom, you're not alone. In a lot of families, the baby nursery takes a lot of planning and decorating time but there's often less thought and energy put into decorating the same child's room as they grow older. It's common for baby toys and furniture like diaper disposals, rattles, pull toys and cribs to get removed, but other things often seem to stay around for quite a bit longer than the growing child might wish. For instance a wall paper border with prints more suitable for your baby or younger child's room, may not be as enjoyed by your now older child (or teen?!). Here are...

There is something thrilling about being on a boat. Whether in a little canoe out on a quiet lake or on a sailboat out in the middle of the ocean, boating is a beautiful way to enjoy God's creation. The Bible has some interesting ship stories. Here is a list of 9 Bible passages about boats. You will use them for the following activity: Genesis 7:1, Exodus 2:3, Jonah 1:3, Luke 5:3, Matthew 13:2, Matthew 8:24, John 6:21, Acts 27:41 and Matthew 4:21-22.

It's a beautiful day and your toddler or preschooler is begging to go outside. What to do when you get out? Here's some simple ideas: Walk to Park The walk alone is enough to keep them busy.

Childhood just isn't complete without a plastic pool on the patio or in the yard to splash around in. The great thing is that the parent on duty can lounge in a chair supervising and reading or listening to music while the children splash around and wear themselves out in the water, meaning that afternoon nap time will be peaceful in the house. Perhaps the most common plastic pool is the small, 6-foot or so diameter pool made of heavy plastic with a ridged floor to help prevent slip-ups. It is amazing how much fun little children have with this inexpensive thing that's not much bigger than their bathtub. Something about splashing around outside with the warm sun through the leaves making dappled...

It's vitally important to teach children to enjoy the outdoors. It's also important to teach children to use their imagination and to play creatively. Spending time with your child in the backyard can help you accomplish both of these lessons. Toddlers tend to be imitative than imaginative. This means that your toddler is more likely to spend his or her outside time copying something you do, or something others have done. Toddlers often enjoy doing simple "cooking" in the sandbox, for instance. Wild fantasies about knights, mermaids, and space ships will come later in childhood. However, simple imitative play during toddler sets the stage for effortless (and hours long) imaginative play later in...

Chlorine has been used to disinfect pools for over one hundred years. Chlorine is used in almost all pools that are open to the public. In addition, most private pool owners, as well as many spa owners, use chlorine in order to keep their pool water clean and safe.

There are many reasons why chlorine is used to disinfect so many pools. First, it works consistently to disinfect pools and has been proven over many...

An advantage of traveling on a domestic plane is the view from the clouds. I realized this when the Cebu Pacific plane took off from the international airport in Pasay City, Philippines. Our journey to Boracay island literally began in the clouds. The sky was clear and the sun was bright from my window seat in row 2. Suddenly we were flying over Taal Lake and I could see the famous Taal Volcano in the distance. At 21,000 feet, the plane flew directly over the crater of the adjacent Volcano Island, and for the first time, I glimpsed the blue waters of the Crater Lake. It was a glorious sight that only God could create. From that moment, I could not go back to sleep. Instead of heading south to...

Today I would like to talk about a topic I think every one of us can relate to. Fear. The dictionary defines fear as: noun 1. an anxiety caused by real or possible danger 2. pain, apprehension, concern At one time or another we have all experienced the emotion of fear. There are so many variations of fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of events outside of our control, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of intimacy, fear of people who are different from us, fear of ______(fill in the blank)_______. I have found that at it's very core, fear is simply a signal or a call to action. The ultimate purpose of fear is to serve you. There are two kinds of fear, what I call Stage 1 Fear and Stage 2 Fear...

When I think of the term waterpark, visions of Great Wolf Lodge, Busch Gardens, and Six Flags dance in my head. I envision yards and yards of splishing and splashing, so imagine my surprise when I pulled up to the Chesapeake Beach Waterpark and peeped that it was actually the size of a Brooklyn block (that's Brooklyn, NY, not Brooklyn, MD). Needless to say, it wasn't quite what I had expected. Constructed in 1995, the waterpark serves as the community's scaled-up pool area complete with two large water slides, one of which uses an inner tube for its spiraling decent. There are six other smaller slides, a kiddie pool, fountains, a waterfall, and a lazy river. The entry fee for non-county residents...
