Sports You Should Try As A Family

There’s a wide range of activities that are family-friendly, but nothing beats sports. Sports are a great way to get everyone together having fun. It’s as competitive in nature as you’d like it to be and everyone’s able to participate. The idea is to unwind and get exercise at the same time.
If you’re not sure where to start, then it’s time to start researching ideas. There are plenty of options out there for families to participate in and break a sweat. It’s always good to get the input of the people involved, but you also want to have a few ideas in your back pocket. See sports you should try as a family.
Baseball
Baseball is a fun game to play in the backyard or with a group. Have people in the infield and outfield and assign a pitcher and catcher. Take turns batting, and that’s all you need for a decent game of baseball. Set bases out so you know where to run after you hit the ball. Feel free to keep score or not during these games. It depends on your family dynamic and how many people you have playing.
Kickball
Kickball is a pleasurable game that only requires a large softball and bases. Instead of throwing the ball like in baseball, the pitcher rolls the ball on the ground to the batter. All you have to do is kick it as hard as possible and run the bases. Kickball is nice because the ball doesn’t hurt when it hits you. It’s a good game for kids. Ask the neighbors to join in if that’s an option.
Jet Surfing
Head to the water and spend an afternoon on a jet surf. Jet surfing is a fun activity that’s done in any condition of water, and the boards are easily transportable by car. Surf through the water on your board enjoying the sun on your back, water in your face and wind in your hair. The motor is powerful and has the ability to make this one of the most fun recreational water sports around. You’ll have a great time cruising the water and racing each other.  
Soccer
Grab a soccer ball and head to your backyard or the local fields. All you need is your ball and a soccer net or two. Split up into two teams and start running and passing. Scoring a goal is a big deal, so celebrate as a family when this happens. You’ll get lots of exercise playing soccer, so prepare yourself to do lots of running.
Skiing/Snowboarding
Another idea is to head to the slopes for a nice day of skiing and snowboarding. There are hills of all sizes for different skill levels. Choose to ski or snowboard depending on your preference. Have fun in the snow and challenge yourself on each hill. Later, take a break a warm and cozy lodge and sip on hot chocolate.
Conclusion

There are many activities that are fun for families if you’re open to new ideas. Put on your thinking cap and take a group vote. These are a few of the sports that you should try as a family.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video:   "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review:  Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.  I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
