How Did We Survive Before Free 2-day Shipping?

This post contains affiliate links.

About once a week, I spend a few hours scanning through Amazon looking for products that intrigue me and I think might intrigue you as well. Today, I'm fixated on how we really kind find ANYTHING we need and have it shipped to us in just two days with Amazon Prime Free Shipping.

What in particular has caught my attention today? This Kidcraft Backyard Sandbox...

We have an in-ground sandbox at our house and my boys spend hours there contentedly playing together. What I love about this particular version is

1. It would conveniently fit in a smaller backyard, yet be big enough for more than one kid to play
2. It comes with a mesh cover to protect the sand from critters while the kids aren't playing

Inflatable Swimming Pools for the Backyard

Summer is here and I have it in my mind that this is the year we get the kids an inflatable swimming pool for the backyard. Yes, the cousins have a real in-ground pool less than a mile away, but I want the kids to be able to put on their swimwear in the morning and run around splashing whenever they want.  Amazon has so many options, I don't know which one I will choose!

Preparing For Summer Mosquitoes (And A Fun Giveaway)

This post is sponsored by Orkin and solely for the purpose of sharing information.

Are you prepared for the summer? It seems like it is coming so fast this year! Playing out in the backyard yesterday with my kids I was looking around at all the places I know bugs and mosquitoes will love to hover when the warmer weather gets here. I had already started thinking about what I could do to the yard ready for them to carelessly play, and then this information from Orkin landed itself in my email...

I can remember a time as a child when Orkin would come to the house trying to get rid of a cockroach problem we had, but as an adult I'd never thought of how they might be able to help me and my own little family. But they have actually put together some great resources on dealing with mosquitoes and other summer time pests that taught me a thing or two. I especially liked the information in this short video...
