Back to School with GeoPalz! Review/Giveaway

Hello Neighbors!

How is everyone doing today? We are doing great! Today I want to share a product our family just recently found... GeoPalz! If you have never heard of GeoPalz, let me tell you about them. GeoPalz is a children's pedometer where they have to walk to get free prizes, awards, or game time!

We received the GeoPalz Rose (above). After it arrived, we went online and set it up for M. The registration is very easy and kid friendly (and yes, the parents do need to verify the account via email, before the child can sign in).

The next day, M. started using her GeoPalz. It took her a couple of days to remember to put it on her hip or shoe each morning, but now she is wearing it regularly. She is already planning whether she wants to use some of her points to get a prize right away, or save up her points for something bigger!

Here is a little bit about GeoPalz... "What are GeoPalz? GeoPalz are pedometers using 3D Tri-Axis Accelerometers, designed for the shoe or hip, that gauge MVPA (Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity) for tracking a child's daily activity. Each device features a unique design and kids earn points based on the overall steps/activity they have each day, and can redeem those points for prizes or time in the online arcade. Each GeoPalz pedometer comes with its own unique code that the children use for their first time registration. This process is very simple and only has three screens for them to navigate through. GeoPalz is the first activity tracker and online game that records your child’s physical activity by tracking steps throughout the day and encourages them to be active by tracking their steps online to win prizes, awards and online game time. GeoPalz are intended for children primarily ages 5-12. Check all of the cool designs below. "

One of our favorite things about the GeoPalz is that after you have been signed into the website for five minutes, a little notification box pulls up that says... "HELLO M. You have been on the site for 5 minutes now. Why not run around, grab your jump rope, and come back when you have taken some more steps?". So if your child gets distracted and isn't watching the time/etc., they will get a little reminder to go run around and play some more.

Today many children spend time sitting in school or at the computer, or in front of a TV for hours. GeoPalz will encourage your child to get up and get active. Especially after several hours doing school our children need to have some physical activity and GeoPalz will help. What do you do in your family to encourage physical activity? Be sure to visit the GeoPalz website to learn more.

GeoPalz has agreed to send 1 GeoPalz to one of my Neighbors!

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.

10 Things You Need To Do Before Moving Abroad

From There is nothing more fulfilling than travelling the world and visiting new and exciting places. If you’re a fan of travel , then you might have thought about moving abroad at some point.
