Balloon Monsoon Self Tying Water Balloon Kit and Refills.

I LOVE playing with water balloons with my little ones. It's a weekend thing, out on my parents ranch. I sit by the water faucet, and tie balloon after balloon until I just can't do it anymore. My fingers prune so bad, and I find myself hurting around my fingers, where the rubber from the balloons wants to cut into my pruned skin. It's always so hard to quit making balloons, because the kids are always left wanting more.

With Balloon Monsoons Self Tying Water Balloons, it cuts out the prep time, and cuts back on the pain my fingers experience when filling and tying traditional water balloons. Not only this, but the kids can fill them themselves without my help. All that is needed, is a faucet or hose that fits in the water balloon filler. They all work, to be honest. Screw it tight, and turn on the water.

My one biggest piece of advice would be for you to keep the balloons on ground while they fill. Do not let them float above a flat surface, or they will pop off prematurely, with the smallest amount of water weight, and won't be as fun to use, because they'll be too small to pop. Oh, one other bit of advice... BUY EXTRAS!!!








Which brings me to my next topic... The Balloon Monsoon refill kit. I had no idea this existed. I thought you always had to purchase the entire kit over and over, until I saw this refill kit. Now, I'll admit it isn't the easiest thing to do. It requires a lot of time, and trial & error. You will pop or tear through quite a few of the balloons, but I do believe this is why the refill kit comes with 500 pieces of balloons, and 500 pieces of ties.

I used a stick, to push the rubber bands over the balloon on each tube, but when you push the rubber band over the balloon on the tube, it tends to stretch the balloon almost to the point of tearing through the  balloon. So you have to be very careful when pushing them in. I ripped so many, but I'm getting better. It's definitely worth having around. You can do as I do, and refill the tubes throughout the week, so that you can have them ready for the weekend.








Overall this is a fantastic self sealing water balloon kit, and refill kit.  I highly recommend them for your kids, or as a gift for any kid. They are fun, and really awesome to use. My kids and I are enjoying them to so much, and can't wait to get our hands on more.

The Wind Leverager Kite by Get Childish Review

I'm a huge fan of kites. I'm a big kid at heart, and everyone in my family knows it. It's been a few rough months down here in South Texas. The rain has been horrible since the beginning of spring, and to be honest, we lucked out tremendously with beautiful 4th of July weekend weather. Even through mud and slush, and a ton of mosquitoes, I knew I just had to let my Wind Leverager Kite take flight. I gathered the little ones, and took it out to my parents ranch. Once it went up in the air, I was instantly in love...




The wind leverager by Get Childish comes in a nylon carry case, which makes it easy to keep all the items together, and toss in your vehicle. In the carry case, is the extremely large kite, which has about a 6 ft. wing span, one resin rod that you place across the wings, and the string with attached handle.

To put your kite together, simply place the resin rod through the center loop, and across the wings. Anchor each end of the rod into their respective tubed holders. Attach the string to the front of the kite where the fabric loops are, and secure it tightly. Once you've put your kite together, you're ready to let it take flight.

This kite is made of a strong nylon fabric, which is far superior to other kites you find in stores. It's definitely hard to tear, so any crash landings could be saved by the fact that the material is so sturdy. The frame and center rod are all made of resin, which is far more sturdy that the fiber glass rods you find in other kites.





Overall, the ease of putting this kite together, the case to carry all your products in, and just how beautiful the kite is, makes this by far one of the best kites I've ever seen. I'm so excited to take this out to the local Kite Festival down by the beach. I'm looking forward to more great weather, less flooding, and damaging rains. Our summers will defintiely be brighter, more vibrant, and far more exciting with this beautiful Kite. Click the link below to see the product page on Amazon. Get your Wind Leverager by Get Childish today. It's the perfect summer toy for everyone young and old.

Hango Lunch Bag Review (Set of 2)


A few days ago, my 4 year old niece had Open Heart Surgery. I was going to be babysitting her 2 year old little sister, my niece Lucy, for the week, and knew that we'd be spending a lot of time visiting the hospital. I received this 2 set of Hango Lunch Bags for free, in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive them, as I knew they were going to arrive just in time to make sure I could pack some snacks for Lucy, and not have to spend an arm and a leg on snacks for her from the hospital.


On the day of surgery, the longest day we had at the hospital, I packed up both lunch bags, to test them out. This was going to be a great time to test them out, as I was packing cold products, and could see how long they'd stay cold in the bags.




The lunch bags are a beautiful carnation pink color, with a brown handle, and a very strong and sturdy zipper. The inside features a grayish silver liner, with a thick thermal insulation. Both these bags came in a really nice cotton drawstring bag (BONUS.) I packed quite a few items into my lunch bags, potato chips, microwaveable macaroni, pop corn, Smuckers uncrustables, and some Coconut Water. I expected the bags to buckle at the center with the weight of the drinks. Surprisingly, though, this did not happen. My coconut waters stayed pretty cold, even though they had been sitting inside the bag for a few hours. The insulation, is top notch. The padding is quite thick, so it keeps everything cold, and I'm sure very warm as well. I don't think I've ever owned any lunch bags that have this amount of padding in them.

One very small downside, which doesn't last long, was the strong plastic scent the bags have when you first open up the package. It's quite strong, but it does wear off overtime. So this is not something that'll linger, and put me off from using them. Just let them air out before you use them, and you'll be good to go for as long as the bags last. I do see them being around for a very long time, as they're so extremely well built. The zipper is very strong and sturdy as well. 

Small bag. Could hold more, but this is all I packed.

Completely full (Large) Lunch bag

I have already told plenty of family about my lunch bags. Everyone LOVED the small one, it's size is just too adorable, and my little niece Lucy loved carrying it around. The bags retail on Amazon.com for $24.99 for the two bags. Large 6L x 6H x 10W in inches. and the small 5L x 5H x 7.5W in inches. Plus the white drawstring bag, that you can use to store the bags when not in use. They're so beautiful, they're chic, and elegant, but fun. These lunch bags can be used by anyone old or young. This is a 5 star product according to the Amazon.com reviews, and I completely agree with that rating. Take a look at what other people are saying as well. I'll leave the link the product down below. I highly recommend these bags to anyone and everyone.
