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.

Practico Outdoors Extra Large Picnic Blanket Review

With the horrible weather we'd been having in Texas, it was hard to get this thing out for a test run. Over the 4th of July weekend, we were so fortunate to have such amazing weather. Although the ground was still muddy, and pretty wet, there were parts of our yard that were just fine to bring out our picnic blanket.

The blanket is pretty neat. It's really large (60 in. x 80 in.) and is super lightweight. It's weighs only slightly over a pound. The material is 100% polar fleece, which makes it feel so soft, and really nice against your skin. The backing of the blanket is made of a waterproof cushion, which was perfect for us, because of the wet ground we had. The cushioned backing made for a nice comfortable sit, which was enjoyed by 4 little ones, and 3 adults.  The blanket also features a nice Velcro strip that fastens the blanket together making it easy to carry around. And speaking of carrying, it does have a handle at the top of the blanket, which makes it easy to transport. 

Niece's enjoying the Picnic Blanket.

I absolutely love keeping this in the black of my truck at ALL times. You never know when you want to make a spontaneous trip to the park, or to the beach. It does happen for us from time to time. Especially quick beach trips. I know that once this weather completely dries up, it'll make for the perfect summer accessory. I can't wait to have the rest of my family and friends see what an awesome blanket this is. I'll be sure to point them in the direction of the Pratico Outdoors Extra Large Picnic Blanket. While I'm at it, I'll give you the link too, so you may check it out for yourself. It's available on Amazon.com for only $34.99, and would make a wonderful gift too.

Supernova 300 Ultra Bright LED Camping Lantern Review

The frequent power outages, and the super dark nights out at the ranch make receiving this product free, in exchange for my honest review, one heck of a sweet deal.

Of all people to be reviewing this product, I find that I'm a perfect candidate. It's extremely hard to look off into the distance at the ranch and see if there is any wildlife lurking. It's hard to see what is rustling in the grass, which can often be opossum, and even rattle snakes. NOT FUN!

I love living out in the country, it's peaceful, and it's beautiful. The Supernova 300 ultra bright LED camping lantern sure has come in handy out here with it's 300 lumens of brightness. It has high efficiency LED lights, that can be used continuously for up to six days. The lantern is very compact in size. Which when I saw it, I thought, this thing can not be that great, but I was so wrong. It's amazing. It's built with sturdy rubber, and plastic molding for maximum durability, also making it water resistant.

The Supernova 300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED camping lantern retails for $37.72 on Amazon.com, and ships free with Amazon Prime. I definitely recommend this for anyone who lives in an area where power outages can be frequent. It has slow pulse LED indicator, which makes it easy to find in an emergency. This is perfect for fishermen, ranchers, and people going on camping trips. Do not go on any outdoor adventures without it.  I'll leave the link down belows so you can check out the reviews on Amazon. it's a 4.5 star product reviewed by almost 700 people. I believe it should be 5 stars, and I think you'd feel the same way too. Click below to check it out.

Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-tool Pocket Knife Review

This has been in my possession, no more than a week, and I can not count how many times I've reached for it to help me out with something. This is THAT product, I never knew I needed, but have always wanted. Does that make sense? This product was sent to me for review purposes, free of charge, and let me tell you, that it's been one of the best little blessings I now proudly own.

The Power Tek Fire Talon Multi-Tool Pocket Knife, is heavy duty, well constructed, and extremely strong. You will immediately notice the weight it has to it. This however, does not affect the performance of the muti-tool. Opening up each of the tools is tricky at first, but they lightly loosen just enough for your to open them up easily after a few uses.

The knife features two LED lights on both ends of the knife that light up brightly, not enough to project at a distance, but enough to shine on to a small task you are performing. The knife is a large 3 inch stainless steal self-locking blade, that cuts through the thickest of materials. My husband was able to cut a thick plastic cup for me.

The multi-tool also has spring-loaded pliers, that are just as strong as the best pliers in my hubby's tool chest, just as the Philips and the flat head screw drivers on the multi-tool are. Along with all these awesome tools, are wire strippers, a can opener, and a set of scissors, that are sharp enough to cut through a lot things.

Honestly, everything on this multi-tool works just as well, as the name brand products my hubsand owns. It has a sleek, and modern design, with rubber grips that make holding on to this tool very easy. One minor draw back is the difficulty I had pulling out can opener/screw driver. I know that after a bit of use it'll get easier to pull it out, but everything else worked like a charm. It also comes with a very sturdy carrying case, you can slide into your belt to carry it around. Hunting, Camping, Fishing, this thing is for you.

If you're in the market for an all in one tool, for yourself, or your spouse, (Valentine's Day is right around the corner) You should definitely consider this one. It retails on Amazon for $39.95, and ships free with Amazon Prime. This company seriously put a lot of thought into this item to create a compact all in one tool. There is not need to carry around a lot of items when you can have it all in one. Click the link below to read the reviews on this item. You will not be dissapointed.
