Rocky Mountain River Race Pool Review

We put this up in our Backyard. The kids love it! The pool at the bottom is great for parents to hang out in. My girl friend brings her kids over daily and they have a blast. She and I also enjoy going down the slides. Our water bill went up about 15 dollars the first month-cheaper than going to the pool. Set up took maybe 30 minutes at most.

Climb the center wall to the top of this enormous water slide and race down the 2 slides into the splash pool.


•Designed so parents can see all the action!
•Two slides with spray hoods keep the sliding surface slipperyand a surprise dump bucket pours water on kids climbing up the center inflatable rock wall.
•Slides lead to a wide splash pool with plenty of room for everyone.
•Stakes anchor the bouncer firmly in place, while a heavy-duty blower provides continuous airflow.
•Built of puncture resistant material.
•Includes stakes, heavy-duty blower with GFCI, repair kit, and storage bag.
•For outdoor use only.

Valeo Yoga Kit Review

My Review: I decided to start up yoga again, after many years. I was looking for a yoga kit that gave me all the essentials without breaking the bank. The Valeo Yoga Kit is great for beginners because of all it offers you. Plus, you get a handy carrying case with it. When I compared prices both locally and on-line, it became clear that this was the most bang for my buck. While a mat can be had for less, the added value of the blocks, the belt and the carrying bag (which if purchased by themselves would be another $20) make this a great combination price. All items were of excellent quality.


Product Features:
Sticky mat measures 24 inches wide by 68 inches long
72-inch long woven cotton strap features a buckle
Two firm foam blocks measure 3 by 6 by 9 inches
Nylon tote bag with shoulder strap makes it easy to transport to the gym or pack up and store
Yoga instruction wall chart is included

Ideal for beginners getting started or intermediate yoga enthusiasts, this kit has everything you need for using at the gym, yoga studio, or at home.

Naturally Playful Sandbox Review

Product Description:

The Naturally Playful Sandbox is an attractive sandbox with a unique design. Featuring outdoor textures and natural colors, this sandbox blends right in to any backyard. Made of sturdy, durable plastic, this sandy play area looks like it's made from real stone, and contains four molded-in "cornerstone" seats. The sunshine-motif lid protects the sand from weather, debris or any backyard critters. Plus, when the kids grow up, parents can even use the Naturally Playful Sandbox as a large planter. Comes fully assembled. Sand and sand toys sold separately. Measures approximately 51" x 37" x 15.5".

My review:

I bought this for my 4 year old niece and she absolutely loves it! She plays in it every day. I liked the idea of natural look so it would not stand out like a sore thumb in the backyard. It is big enough to hold my niece and a friend. The sides have little blocks on the corners for the kids to sit while in the sandbox and they are sturdy enough for an adult to sit on. The cover is high and rounded at the top so as to store all of her sand toys in the box. It also makes a great little wading pool. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this Step 2 product to anyone looking for a sandbox for young children.

Wanda E. Brunstetter's Amish Friends Cookbook Review

Award-winning, bestselling author, WANDA E. BRUNSTETTER became fascinated with the Amish way of life when she first visited her husband's Mennonite relatives living in Pennsylvania. Wanda and her husband, Richard, live in Washington State but take every opportunity to visit Amish settlements throughout the States, where they have several Amish friends.

New, from Barbour's best-selling author of fiction, Wanda E. Brunstetter, is the must-have cookbook of the season. Her Amish Friends Cookbook collection is a treasure trove of recipes and interesting facts from the heart of Amish country. With recipes divided into sections including breads and rolls, desserts, main dishes, sides, jams and jellies-and more!-you'll find only the best of home cooking between the pages of this delightful book. As an added bonus, you'll find featured facts about Amish life preceding each section of mouth-watering recipes. Topped off by one amazing package and an even more amazing price, cooks of all ages will have a hard time passing this one up!

I have really enjoyed using the cookbook. There are some great recipes in the cookbook that are easy to make for the whole family. Many of the main dishes call for ground beef, which is economical in these rough times. The breakfast section is my favorite, and the peanut butter fudge recipe is simple and delicious.
There are recipes for jellies, window cleaner, and pickles. These are not easy, quick recipes; however, I can attest to the fact that they taste better than any of the popular quick recipes.

Price: $14.97
