Blast Zone Makes It Easy To Have A Water Park In Your Own Yard

Summer is just about here, if you’re like me you’re probably busy making summer plans. We have some nice day trips planned and since we live on a lake, we really love the summer! Keeping the kids active and cool all summer long may seem like a huge undertaking especially if you don’t have a pool or lake nearby.  How about your own water park in your yard?  Wouldn’t that be a great way to keep the kids busy, active and cool all summer long?  It is so easy with Blast Zone’s Inflatable Crocodile Isle Water Park with 2 Slides!

This huge inflatable is only about the size of an extra-large folded sleeping bag when deflated.  The magic occurs when you attach the UL listed blower, in mere minutes, before your eyes, it inflates into a child’s dream-their own water park!  With a large pool area and 2 long fun slides, climbing wall, lookout platform and spraying water they will have hours of fun, playing and keeping cool.

Simple to set up, and one tip we want to share to make things easier is  to get a very large tarp to put under the inflatable. The tarp makes it easy to move the deflated water park on the tarp to different areas of your yard. The other advantage with the tarp is that it is easy to cover the deflated and dry inflatable when it rains.  We keep our inflatables out all summer and using this method our inflatables are in great shape year after year.

To set up, all you do is unpack the inflatable, quickly attach the water hoses and sprayer to the handy velcro holders, tie the little air out take and hook the included blower to the yellow intake and turn it on.

When inflated you can secure with the included stakes to keep you inflatable safe and secure and there are even stakes for the blower.  Then simply attach your garden hose to the hose that extends down the back of the inflatable and secure.

Turn on your water supply and the water will spray out of the spray heads located above each slide  and eventually fill the pool area,  Now you could fill the pool area too if you like and then connect the hose to the back as well.  We do it the first way and it works fine.  now if you live in the mountains like me and do not have truly level land you  will find areas of the pool that are deeper and areas where it is very shallow but my kids never really care about that and given we move it around all the time the changes in the water of the pool is fun.

One big advantage the Crocodile Isle has  over the Ultra Croc we have is that with the climbing wall in the front they kids do not exit the pool to climb up to the platform and go down the slides.  This means that they will not be tracking grass, leaves and dirt back into the water and slides.  I really like that!  This is a huge inflatable, 14′ D by 22′ W by 8′ H  with room for up to 6 kids to play at once. The rugged Crocodile Isle Water Park is constructed according to Blast Zone’s strict quality and safety standards, using double and quadruple stitched, reinforced polyester oxford. Commercial-grade vinyl is used on the climbing and slide surfaces, adding extra strength and longer life to the unit. As with all our products, the Crocodile Isle comes with Blast Zone’s industry-leading warranty and customer support.  There is a handy storage bag to hold the inflatable at the end of the season for storage.

Please note, we just turned the water on that is why it is not showing much in the inflatable. The water fills it very nicely and creates a refreshing splash pool!

As a blogger I have a brand relationship with Blast Zone and have tested many of their products over the last several years.  I  can tell you that when you are making a purchase like this, you want a quality inflatable, one that is not just going to last for one season.  Over the years we have reviewed many inflatables from Blast Zone and do you know that all of the ones we reviewed we still use and they are in excellent shape.  Multiple years and they look great and provide year after year of enjoyment. As a parent it only makes sense to invest in a product that is going to last and not one that is trashed at the end of the season.

You can see some of our other reviews of Blast Zone products HERE!  There are videos to show you the products in action.  If you have any questions please ask.  I have a lot of experience with the products and would love to assist you with your questions.    The Blast Zone products are available for purchase on Amazon. Recommended for ages 3 years and up. Max weight on inflated structure is 300 lbs. If you have a Blast Zone product I would love for you to tell me what you have and what you love about it.  If you are looking to buy one, share with me which you think you will purchase.

I can’t wait to share this with you because if you are like me, I was not even aware there was such a fan. Since I found out, I am amazed at how easy it now is to stay cool and refreshed outdoors.

All you need to do is connect it to a garden hose and it adds a refreshing cool mist to the cool breeze it emits.

Vacu Vin Carafe and Citrus Press Review and Giveaway!!!

Vacu Vin logo
We all know how good water is for us and if you are looking for an easy way to add  natural flavors to water, the Vacu Vin Carafe and Citrus Press is what you need.  Not only is it aesthetically pleasing  but it is so functional as well.  Just fill the carafe with ice-cold water and add fresh herbs like mint or parsley if you like and then use the handy press to squeeze the juice from lemons, limes or oranges.  Keep the carafe in the refrigerator for refreshing flavored water to quench your thirst.  The carafe is unbreakable and dishwasher safe so care is a breeze!  Below you can enter to win a Vacu Vin Carfe and Citrus Press and also check out our review and giveaway for a Vacu Vin Instant Marinater and the review on the Vacu Vin Pineapple Slicer.

The Carafe & Citrus Press has three components, each with a unique functionality. The beautifully shaped plastic carafe is unbreakable and will not crack when he falls. On top of the carafe, the bowl of the Citrus Press can be firmly attached. If the carafe is filled with water with mint leaves, lemon wedges or ice cubs, the filter in the bowl will hold them back when you pour the water. In order to squeeze a citrus fruit, cut them in half and place the fruit in the bowl. By turning the press into the fruit, the juice is released and runs through the bowl and into the carafe. The shell will remain on the press and can easily be thrown away. You can also use the separate press for squeezing a lemon over a salad or baked fish. The carafe and bowl can be closed off with the press making sure that flies or dust will not reach you lemonade.

  • Unbreakable carafe
  • Screw closure between bowl and carafe
  • Bowl works as a filter
  • Press can be used separately
  • Press can be used as a lid
  • Dishwasher safe

Batter Babies Review & Give-Away!!!

Kimber Cakeware (http://www.kimbercakeware.com/) sent me some products to review, and yesterday I tried out one of them.  I used the Batter Babies.  Batter Babies allow you to make one of a kind cupcakes of two flavors or colors.  This neat little gadget works really well and is very easy to use.  You just put the Batter Baby in the cupcake liner that is in the pan.  You put one kind of batter on one side of it and another kind on the other side and remove the Batter Baby and bake.  The result, is a cupcake that has different colors, flavors or both.  It is really neat for making special cupcakes.

You could do pink and purple for a princess party, or use school colors for a sporting event, the possibilities are as vast as your imagination.  To make this really neat and easy you can put the different batters in squeeze bottles and it makes filling the cupcake molds very easy.  I did not do that because I was in a bit of rush and my cupcakes still turned out great.

Kimber Cakeware is sponsoring a give-away for my blog readers.  We will be giving away 3 sets of these to 3 lucky winners.  Each set contains 6 Batter Babies.  So get ready to bake some cool cupcakes and your friends will be wondering how you did it.  All you have to do is leave a comment on my Mommy Ramblings FB page ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382) of what you think would be the first combination you would bake if you won.  That will get you one entry, you can earn another by visiting Kimber Cakeware on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kimber-Cakeware/146735632016017?ref=ts) and liking their page and leaving me a comment that you did that on my Mommy Ramblings FB page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382).  Give-away will end Monday March 21st at 12am.  Give-away is open to residents of  USA & Canada.  Good luck and happy baking!!!

A friend let me know she really wanted to enter this give-away but gave up Facebook for lent.  So I am modifying the rules that you can leave the comment on this blog of what combo you would bake first if you win the give-away.
