Favorite Summer / Out Door Toys

  • Disclaimer 
These are some of my favorite summer/outdoor toys for kids in no particular order. I am not affiliated with any of these links or being paid to promote these products. There are my honest opinions that the Little Tikes, Step 2, and Radio Flyer brands are good brands due to positive and real experiences with these products. 

Favorites List

1. Step 2 Arctic Splash Water Table...Amazon (Discontinued)
4. Step 2 Sand Castle Play Table...Walmart (Discontinued)


Reasons 

  • Durability
One reason some of these toys make my list is because I have had them for over one year. For example, the Little Tikes Turtle Sandbox, I got since my 2010 baby was a toddler and it's still going strong. She is almost 7 (2017)!

  • Crowd Pleasers
Also, they seem to be a crowd pleaser. All three of my kids like being pushed around in The Cozy Coupe Car. My niece and youngest nephew also enjoy it. In fact, every child I have babysat 8 years and under have also enjoyed playing with this toy car. It hasn't met a child who hasn't liked it yet. 

  • Can Find Gently Used
What I have to be true, is sometimes you can find these items used at consignment stores, garage sales, classifieds sections online, and sales through social media websites, such as Facebook. When you find them gently used, sometimes you can get them well below retail, just because they are used. This is especially true if the item is in a decent or fair condition, and have some scratches and scrapes. I bought the Little Tikes Fold n Store Picnic Table with Umbrella for $20 dollars used. I saw the same day, Amazon was selling a brand new one (8/24/2017) for $128.43. We had saved $108.43!

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

My Laparoscopy Recovery Essentials: What’s Actually Helping Me Heal

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
