Twilight Blast Frisbee Great Fun!


 Hi Neighbors!

Perhaps some of you are beginning to enjoy this beautiful weather by spending more time outside.  We have started gardening, birdwatching, and playing games outside.  So, when WHAM-O said they would send me the Twilight Blast Frisbee we were overjoyed to get the chance to try it out.  The Twilight Bast comes from their recreational line.  This is really great for those evenings after dinner when you want to spend a little time outside as darkness is approaching. Just grab your Twilight Blast Frisbee and head outside with the family.  Starting to have trouble seeing the disc, not a problem with the Twilight Blast because it lights up!



The Twilight Blast has a battery compartment directly in the center on the bottom of the Disc.  It has three settings: Off, flashing, and On.  In the Off setting if you tap the top of the Frisbee in the center and it will flash for a few seconds.  For the On setting it lights up with red, yellow and green lights.  The Flash setting the lights blink on and off.  This means you can play even longer! Sorry but the evening pictures just blurred to much to post, but it does work great!



 When someone says WHAM-O I am sure a vision of a Frisbee, Hula-Hoop, Slip and Slide or another such product pops into your mind.  WHAM-O has been around for over 60 years.  Here is just a little information on this company:





"From the off-the-wall novelty items to classic "basic" toys  and sporting goods, WHAM-O® means innovative products that spark  the imagination, give people pleasure and hold their interest. Just think about how any boy in the 1950s could have grown up without a WHAM-O Slingshot.  That was the product that gave the company, founded in 1948, its distinctive name. When the missile hit its target, it made the sound "WHAM-O"!
The zany founders of WHAM-O®, Arthur "Spud" Melin and Richard  Knerr, became known as the gurus of blockbuster fads. A look at the history of WHAM-O brand products provides an interesting and entertaining peek at how some world-renowned products came to be.
A building inspector named Fred Morrison puttered with and refined a plastic flying disc that he sold to WHAM-O® in 1955. Introduced to the consumer market in 1957 as the Pluto Platter™ (the name inspired by the country's obsession with Unidentified Flying Objects), it was modified in 1958, renamed the FRISBEE® disc,  and has become an American icon.
In 1961, Wham-O introduced the original Slip ’N Slide®, which quickly became a permanent warm weather favorite among kids around the world.
Melin and Knerr were always open to original and often strange ideas. They experimented with toys themselves and would try out products directly with potential buyers. They heard of Australian children using a bamboo ring for exercise and immediately turned out...you guessed it...HULA HOOP® toy hoop. Knerr and Melin promoted it for months in 1958 on Southern California playgrounds where they would do demonstrations and give away hoops to get the children to learn and play. Their perseverance turned HULA HOOP toy hoops into the greatest fad the country has ever seen. Twenty-five million were sold in four months!"

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
