Nanny to Mommy

My favorite summertime activity has always been swimming. You get to stay cool and its FUN exercise! My daughter has been becoming a little fish this summer (she is still wearing floaties), but it has been our BY FAR favorite thing to do. So, a few months back when I received the opportunity to work with Backyard Ocean, I was all over it! I received an Interactive Castle Play Pool and Jumping Gym Inflatable Bouncer to review. I also received a Splash & Play 3D Adventure Fast Set Family Pool that I get to giveaway to one lucky reader!

 

Summer is the perfect time to celebrate little girls! These girlie Summer Essentials featured by Green Scene Mom are made by companies who offer eco-friendly, quality, and innovative product solutions that incorporate adorable styles too!

Being a second time parent, I can tell you that babies don't come with instruction manuals. But if they did, "Dr. Carey's Baby Care: First Year Baby Care Guide" would be a great start. You can see my review HERE.

 I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.

 

For Hubby's work we got the opportunity to go to Six Flags for a discounted rate on June 26th. And we decided to take our 3 year old. You may remember me taking her last year. For $25 per person we got entry into the park, free parking, and a buffet from 4-7 pm. The park was also closed to everyone except us from 9pm to midnight. We could have taken her last year, but Hubby didn't think she would be able to ride anything. So when I got to take her for the Wet Ones blogger event, he knew we could this year. I told Hubby that even if we can't ride some of the rides with her in the kiddie area, it is worth it to see her face.


We started our trip on the train and then stood in the rain waiting to ride Monster Mansion. SweetPea didn't like it as much as she did last year. Then we headed over to the kiddie area where I was bummed the Willie E. Coyote "roller coaster" wasn't working because SweetPea would have been tall enough this year. But she made a friend and had fun regardless.
