Finally making my first blog post!
Hey everyone!, I'm truly excited to finally get the chance to write a blog post. A few of you may remember me asking about it in the Chat column. I have a tendency to jump the gun when I'm excited, haha. So, as of right now I don't have any questions and am not struggling with the training (which is great), I'm looking forward to the criteria of Lesson 3! Making Money :) doing something I enjoy.
My current and only article I've posted thus far on my website is the following;
Top 4 Ways to Stay Cool This Summer – Backyard “Must Haves of 2018”
June 12, 2018
Well folks it’s officially Summer, and as you know when that happens everyone’s dreading the harsh heat of the sun. Here we are trying to stay cool enough to enjoy the outdoors and all that it has to offer.
Personally, where I come from it’s dang HOT!. And as a mother of a 5-year-old boy, trying to keep up with him is tasking, not to mention while doing so in 95 degree weather.
I’ve done some browsing these past few weeks on what would be fun for the whole family, the kiddo, our loving and playful labrador-pit, as well as keep us comfortable in the scorching heat of the Summer. In my findings, I was quite surprised at how AWESOME, yet affordable everything was. Everyone likes that!
H2OGO! – New Inflatable Triple Water Slide
New Inflatable Water Slide Triple Slide Pool. To start off, WHAT THE WHAT?! I don’t know if it’s just me, or if I’m just slightly jealous but, one water slide was way cool when I was a kiddo. Now they have a 3-in-1 water slide with a speed ramp for an extra boost and end bumpers that collect water for a BIG SPLASH LANDING! Tough inflatable launch pad makes for a smooth landing as you glide right into the Splash Lagoon. This beaut is for ages 5-12.
Banzai Grand Slam Baseball Water Slide.
Now this one is definitely the one that will wear out those energized munchkins as well as keep them cool and happy! This baseball diamond is slippery all the way back to home plate. 14ft x 14ft diamond with Bat and Ball included. Side rails to keep the surface wet and slick! A whole new way to play baseball and an absolute great way to spend time outside. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
NEW – Banzai Geyser Blast Sprinkler
Super wacky, crazy, wet fun! A sprinkler is without a doubt the easiest way to have fun outside and stay cool as a family. This particular sprinkler happens to be an upgrade from the ones Mom and Dad set outside to help the garden grow. The Geyser Blast simply hooks up the to the standard garden hose and your good to go! It features several wiggling arms that spray water in random directions, sprays vertically from the base for running through and not to mention, it’s sturdy. Recommended for ages 3 and up.
Swimline Inflatable Shootball Basketball
Kids will have fun for hours with this unique floating game. A big 45-inch tall inflatable has multiple ports for multiple shooters and great basketball fun. It’s made of heavy-duty material, comes with 1 Basketball and all the free-throws you can shoot. No more shooting hoops outside in the driveway, take it to the pool with this creative-cool way to play your favorite game with all your friends! Recommended for ages 6 and up.
Say NO To The Summer Blues!
After chatting with the husband, over whether to purchase an above ground swimming pool, or not, we came to the conclusion that being a pool owner came with larger responsibilities than we were willing to commit to. In the end, we decided that purchasing a trampoline and some awesome outdoor water toys would be more enjoyable for our son and the surrounding neighborhood kids to come and join us.
We went ahead and bought the Geyser Sprinkler and the Baseball Diamond Slide, with not much to our surprise they all have a blast. Especially, when we stick the Geyser Sprinkler up under the trampoline for added fun!
It brings me and my husband much joy and relief that our boy can draw more attention to the outdoors and its endless adventures, instead of sitting inside, glued to the television or playing games on his learning tablet. Both my husband and I were raised to, how do you say, “entertain ourselves” as kids. Not that we were forced to play alone, but to find things to do in a time when we didn’t have electronics to sustain our interests, away from bugging Mom and Dad to death with a million-in-one questions, haha.
Whatever your family size is, be it big or small, any of these Top 4 backyard must haves will surely keep everyone happy! PARENTS BE WARNED! Side effects are known to cause a ton of fun, smiling faces, quality-time, and tired kiddos by the end of the day. From my family to yours, I hope you all have a wonderful Summer and stay cool!
PLEASE, please, please! tell me what you think! I would love some constructive criticism :)
Thanks,
Morgan

OMGOSH, I love this! As a mother of three - they're 17, 15 and 13 now but I remember when they were at those fun/outdoor/slip and slide ages - we stayed out in the water all of the time.
I'm fairly new so please take this as I am learning myself but - wouldn't it would be great if a mom (or dad or grandma or granddad, etc. :-) ended up on your website and was able to click a link to purchase directly from your site (just a thought). That way, you'd gain the reader's trust AND make a little money as well :-)
Oh wow! thank you so much haha. I wasn't expecting such a great first response :) That's very kind of you and really made me feel like I did well. That means a lot to me! I would love nothing more than to truly relate to my audience from my articles! I think being a mother is kind of my inspiration as to what I choose to write about. Mom's eye view, if you get me :).
If you ever need help or have any questions, feel free to ask :)
