outside toys do you have?

Sexy Ma

what outside toys do you have for your kids in your yard? I have a little tykes climber with slide attached, a big little tykes slide, an angel fish rocker, coupe car, power wheels jeep, a trampoline, 2 kiddie pools and a 9ft inflatable waterslide

Answer
We have two kids (3 and 7) and a yard full of neighborhood kids in the spring/summer.

We have a swing set, a seesaw, two inflatable bouncers (because the 1st one broke and the co. sent us a new one. We then patched the 1sst one) We have a barbie jeep and a hot wheels jeep. We have a couple of bins of balls and smaller outside toys. We have a soccer net for my daughter. We also have a slip and slide and an inflatable pool. We're pretty much set outside because we spend MUCH of our time out there in the summer.

Can anyone reccommend a good kid freindly beach destination in the southeast?

rockliz200

I am trying to figure out were to go on vacation this year I know I want to go to the beach but to one that is not overcrowded, and it needs to be kid friendly and affordable in GA, FL the southeast

Answer
Clear Water Beach Florida was rated one of the best FAMILY beaches in the US.

At nights they have a festival on the pier where your kids can get their faces painted, watch performers with fire, theres usually a monkey and lots of fun crafts to look at and buy.

They also put up trampolines and those big inflatable slides (it looks like a shark)

Plus in the summer the ocean water is insanely warm

Help with Sweet Sixteen Party?

Raquel

So, my 16th is in October, and my house is pretty small. I have a basement, but it needs to be remodeled. The floor is cement, the walls are brick and the overhead beams are visible. My backyard is middle sized and I have a trampoline and a small pool (Like 10 ft diameter).

I wanted to invite like 17 people (assuming all of them can come) and celebrate during the end of the summer, like September, so we can use the pool and trampoline? I have an iPod and speakers I can set up to play music. My mom wanted a smaller number and just a sleepover because we really can't afford much, but I figure that all we really have to buy is food, and I was thinking when it gets dark we can pile into the basement and watch a movie.

How does this sound to you guys? Do you think it could use anything else? Or any other ideas? Any suggestions would be great! I just want this to be enjoyable and within my budget.

Answer
Hey! congrats on the sweet sixteen. i have planned budget parties for me and my best friend combined every year since i turn 15 (i will be 18 this year). this year will be the ultimate. we keep our budget about $50 or less (trust me, this is an incredible feat) and this year, there's gonna be about 70 people (no typo. as in SEVENTY). trust me girl, you can do this too. 70 may be way too much for you but you can at least do 20-30 for a good sized crowd, not too much for your mom to handle either, all while staying in your budget.

here's how you do it:
- decorations = $0. that's right. don't pay for decorations. you're playing in big girl territory at 16. we're not 7 anymore. no balloons. all you need if you want a pinch of pizazz, grab those christmas lights and tastefully light up the place

-food = very little. start the party at about 7PM. this is late enough that people are not going to come hungry. obviously you need some, i mean, when was the last time you went to a party with no food? never. get some chips (not too much. chips aren't a big seller). the big seller (surprise, surprise) veggie and fruit trays! don't buy them pre-made. that's a ripoff. get some fruit and vegetables at the grocery store and cut it up, and put 'em on plates. people love this option (i'm a chip girl myself, i don't get it).

- drinks = max $20. again, a word of advice from past experience, pop doesn't go. what does? BOTTLED WATER. head to costco or ALDI (definitely visit aldi, it will blow your mind!). pick up a few cases. wanna mix it up? buy those little crystal light drink mix powder packets, the single servings. you want pop? go for it. but be super prepared for extras.

- cake = $2. have your mom, or do it yourself, make the birthday cake.
trust me. YOU WANT A CAKE! you can't have a party with out the cake. cake mix at aldi is $.89 and frosting is even cheaper.

- music = $0. never a dj, always an ipod. its a great idea. everyone can change the song to what they want, and people will have a blasty-blast!

girl, if you can pull this off, you will be a savvy party planner!

you can do it!

Does anyone have any tips on how to feed and cloth a large family? I have 9 children and I need advice!?

emmarose

We live on a tight budget. Can anyone who has a big family give me some of your tips about penny-pinching ideas. How can you afford clothing? What is your monthly food bill? Any advice is good advice for me! Thanks so much!

Answer
You can get school clothes for the kids to grow into after the season ends and they go on clearance sale.
Yard sales for summer clothes, play clothes, bicycles and things like that.
I grew up in a family of nine, we ate a lot of beans and beef stew, spaghetti, things we could make large amounts of that were healthy but economical. Chrismas our main gift was a group thing like a trampoline or something all could use then a little personal gift.
We shopped at costco or places we could buy all toiletries and food in bulk so it cost about half of the regular price grocery stores.
We went to day old bread stores for all the cookies and goodies for sack lunches and of course bread. We bought extra for the freezer to stalk up when they had a lot of the things we used.
We clipped coupons and once a month took all our glass cans and plastic to a recycling center and redeemed them for cash.
We did all our wash in cold water unless it was rank and used a clothesline to dry them.
I don't remeber the food budget but it wouldn't be relevent because I am middle aged now.

Consider planning a scavenger or treasure hunt. You can design one yourself or you can purchase one. Check out http://www.mastersofthehunt.com/buy-a-scavenger-hunt.php for hunts that are professionally designed with cool graphics. They can all be customized for your location, time frame, etc. Many to choose from for different age groups.

You could also have a sand sculpture contest. Bring sand shovels and different shaped containers for people to pack sand in. Bring squirt bottles and food coloring so you can maked colored water to spray on the sand to make designs. Have everyone vote and give a prize to the best one.

ALSO!!! On Tuesday and Wednesday I'm doing a presidents challenge and On tuesday I will be doing a bunch of crunches, sit ups, push ups, wall sits, ect.
And on Wednesday I will run one mile! So will any of this help me lose weight?

Answer
This diet does not seem to have enough calories for someone your age considering your height and weight.
You will lose weight, but you will most definetly be malnurished which can lead to a large amounts of medical problems.
You should always base every diet on carbs. Also, 4 glasses of water is not enough. You should drink about 2 liters of water so you don't become dehydrated from all that working out (about 10 glasses depending on your glass size)
Please consult a health-instructor or nutritionist before going on any extreme diets.
The government's website is a very good place to find information on weight loss and healthy ways to do it. They also have a calorie tracker.
The best way to lose weight is to gain muscle. Eat between 1200-1500 calories per day with 60% coming from carbs (bread, pasta, cereal), 20% from protein (lean meats, nuts, beans), and 20% from healthy fats (olives, avacados, fish, egg-whites). Excercise your largest muscles (leg muscles) first since they are the largest and will burn the most calories. And get plenty of rest (your body can not heal and build muscle if you aren't getting enough uninteruppted sleep).
Also, ask your parents before you start any exercise programs to see what advice they have. The best diets are not the quick ones. The quicker you lose weight, the more likely it is just water weight or muscle weight. Good weight loss (by burning fat) generally takes longer since it is actually much lighter than muscle or water.

need help in losing weight please?

Gabriel

Ok i need some help to lose 10 pounds in 13 days, by nov 5th. i started working out about 2 months ago, im 5'6, i started at 200 lbs. now im at around 178, jeans size went from 38 to 33/34.
im joining the navy, thats why i have a time limit.

ok so my goal is to lose 10 pounds in 13 days, for some reason im hardly losing inches around my waste ( at the belly button) only went from 41 inches to about 38. right now i go to the gym, i do about 45 mins of cardio ( 3-4 miles) and then some weights for 30 mins, thats in the morning, about 4-6 later i go back to the gym for a boxing class or two. i run on about 500-800 calories during the week, and around 1000-1800 on the weekends. during the week i mainly have oatmeal and v8, maybe 100% whole bread, and on the weekends maybe ill have subway or a burrito bowl ( mainly beans and meat)

so im looking for any tips that will help me lose about 10 pounds by nov 5. i understand i am also losing muscle but thats fine for now, i will do muscle building when i hit about 150-160. as of today i can still curl 30 lbs pound dumbbells, do about 5-10 pull ups, and 50 push ups all at once. safety is not an issue if its within reason, i will not go throw up lol.

also i did start wearing a waist trimmer as of last week and a thigh timmers this week, so i use them both now.

so im looking for any tips and tips only people, i dont want to hear how i should eat more, becuz i tried that and it doesnt work for me, when i hit about 185 i stayed there cuz i kept eating "healthly." my body can run on very little, it would be nice if it ran on all the fat it has now lol,

so thanks for anyone that can help me

Answer
You should run on the treadmill at 6mph for 1 hour each day. Make your daily calories under 1800. And yes, drinking water is great. If working out gets boring, then you may try something fun like swimming or jumping on trampolines for 2 hours a day.

What are the best places to take a family with young kids on the southern Oregon coast?

Brandi C

I have two daughters, almost 3 and almost 4. We will be moving to the southern Oregon coast. I am looking for stuff to do in and around Brookings, Gold Beach, Port Orford, Bandon, Coos Bay and the surrounding areas. The cheaper the better, but we're willing to pay for cool stuff. We're looking for great places to hike, good beaches, good parks and other attractions. We're also looking for family friendly restaurants or cools shops. We'd also love to find a place where the girls could ride model trains. There's a great train park in Medford and we'd love to find one on the coast. We're on a budget so we're not looking for anything expensive, just cool stuff to do on our days off. THANKS!!!

Answer
If you're in Coos Bay there is a great place for young kids called "Outdoor Inn". They have an indoor inflatable jumpable and several of the larger plastic castles for the kids to climb and play in. They also have quite a few of the push cars to ride on. Little ones outgrow this part of the facility by about 6-7 years old, but for your girls, it's perfect. Cost is about $2 a day per child when last I checked. I found a youtube video of the facility which shows you what it looks like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Lbl2aP5Zw
The business is located on 4th Street in Coos Bay, just two blocks off Highway 101.

Another good place for kids in the area is the West Coast Game park which is 7 miles south of Bandon on the Oregon coast. This wildlife park bills itself as the largest petting zoo in the United States with over 450 animals and birds.
http://www.gameparksafari.com/

Here is another good site which lists things to do an see in this area: http://www.oregonduneskoa.com/oregoncoast.html
For girls your age, I recommend the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and the tide pools at the end of Cape Arago highway. You might also look into Gymnastics Plus in Coos Bay, which is located at the Boys and Girls Club. They offer frequent children's classes in gymnastics and have a lot of fun toys and trampolines for the girls to play on. Prices are very reasonable.

As to places to eat, Outdoor Inn serves a wide variety, but you might also look at Dave's Pizza in Coos Bay, Denny's Pizza in Coquille and any of the Kozy Kitchen restaurants in Coos Bay, North Bend and Myrtle Point. I'm not as familiar with the towns to the south, but I'm sure you will find all are kid friendly and enjoyable.

Here's a great list of our local activities - many of which would be fun with kids:
http://www.visittheoregoncoast.com/home.cfm?dir_cat=15359. Don't forget to ask when the various local Christmas programs are in any of the towns - most have some kind of free celebration, with petting zoos, free photos with Santa, arts and crafts - even treasure hunts occasionally. All great fun.

Is it lame to have a sweet 16 luau party, in your backyard, without a pool?

ECHAN

I am looking for a cheaper alternative for throwing a big party. I want it to be fun &memorable but at the same time I don't want to bankrupt my parents in the process:) My party would probably be the beginning of September so, the weather could be rainy, and I would like there to be about 60 people.

I was thinking it could be an inside/outside party with lots of food and games. I do not have a pool, which kind of makes me think a luau party without a pool isn't a good idea.

The activities would be including: xbox, dancing, eating, volleyball, limbo, trampoline, movies playing inside &more.

I would greet every guest at the door with leis, to make sure everyone knows how much I appreciate them coming to my party.

I would have a ton of decorations around the yard and in my house including:
personalized banner
lanterns/tiki torches
inflatable palm trees
flowers
beach balls
candles
streamers
pineapple centerpieces
balloons
etc.

For food, I would have a hollowed out watermelon to hold fruit salad, mock-cocktails, Hawaiian pizza, &the usual chips, candy, etc. I would put the food in sand buckets, instead of just bowls.

Some other ideas I was considering is a photo backdrop so I can have a lot of memories from this party and possibly hire a DJ, a local band, or just stick to a play list I make. Both of those might not be possible, but they are in the air.

My whole party theme and location is still undecided at the moment and I really don't want it to be a lame party, so any ideas and your honest opinion would be greatly appreciated:) I want everything to be perfect on my special day.

Answer
Your party sounds great and well thought out. We have had a luau party without a pool. Not everyone has a pool in fact most people don't. So have your party and your friends will have so much fun!

In-ground Trampolines

Shimpler

Do I need to buy a special type of trampoline to put it in the ground?

Answer
The three web links below will show you the best kind of trampoline to buy to put in the ground and exactly in detail how to install it in ground:
http://mgoin.com/Trampoline/
http://www.backyardpro.com/InGround.html
http://www.backyardpro.com/Video.html

You can dig a hole and put your entire trampoline in the hole as your other answers suggest but this has disadvantages. The trampoline will rest on the bottom of the hole. Water tends to run into the hole after a storm and often, the hole becomes quite muddy. Then one leg of the trampoline can sink further into the mud than the other legs and the trampoline will not remain level. Also, you have to dig a very large hole to bury your entire trampoline legs and all. Most of the better in-ground trampolines do NOT use legs and are SUSPENDED over the hole rather than sitting inside the hole on legs. This method allows you to more easily dig a much smaller hole and keeps your trampoline perfectly level and evenly supported.

It is also best to have a trampoline mat that is woven rather than a one piece black fabric bed like most home trampolines have. When you bounce, you depress the bed which compresses the volume of air beneath the bed. When the trampoline is above ground this volume of air escapes out around the open steel frame. However when your trampoline is in-ground the air can no longer escape around the frame. It is trapped by the pit and it now can only flow up through the bed and springs. If you have wide safety pads that cover the springs as many trampolines do, then the air that is compressed on each bounce can only escape directly up through the bed. It takes this volume of air longer to escape through a solid black bed like most home trampolines have than through the more expensive woven beds which have a more open weave with holes through which the air can escape. With a regular mat, your trampoline may not bounce quite as well when you put it in the ground but with the more expensive woven bed or mat there will be no drag on your bounce.

Question about water trampolines.....Does anyone have any info about them?

foxygirl29

We have been looking and want to buy a water trampoline to take to the lake....What we are looking at is a 12 foot one by Watersports...the price is around 325.00....Does anyone have one of any kind that might can help us decide and if so how much fun was it???
My biggest question I suppose is how high can you jump??..Don't want just several inches or a foot...want good spring in the bounce...

Answer
you cannot get ANY air on a water trampoline. they just dont work. its kind of stupid because i think they recently started making trampolines with straps instead of springs, so you cant jump as high. i think they did that because of some dangerous stuff. or somthing. water trampolines use those straps, but they arent even very stretchy. if you can, get a regular trampoline, with springs not straps, and put it on land, next to the lake, and you can jump off it into the water, that would be better. or, put a regular trampoline on a big open area, away from the lake, because that is even more worth it then getting a water trampoline. unless you can find a water trampoline with springs. good luck!

Hit the walking path, get with your man /grins, get some rasp tea into you or bounce on a trampoline lol Jk about the last one but GL you will not go till the 11th imo but anytime now. I hated being told 'any time now' lol lol.

Sudden large amount of discharge?

Lola

Ok so as i was jumping on the trampoline the other day, i suddenly felt like a large amount of discharge came out of me, i thought it was the normal amount. Then i felt wet, and when i looked down, i had a wet spot in my jeans, as if a little bit of pee had leaked out of me. I went to the bathroom to check, and it wasnt pee, but it seemed like a gush of water mixed with normal discharge. I never had this before, is it normal?


On a side note, im pretty sure i have yeast infection, it goes away after i get my period, which is the case right now, but i get the cottage cheese like discharge again the rest of the month. Does that have anything to do with what happened to me?

Answer
This should help you decide.

Once you start puberty a white and/or clear, non-foul smelling discharge (mucous) is normal. The vagina is self-cleaning. You will also have your own 'scent' (musky) and it will smell stronger to you than to others. This same discharge increases the closer you get to ovulation and when you are sexually aroused. Trust me, you don't ever want it to go away.

Different Types of Discharge:

White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Different types of infections:

Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching

Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

Signs of trichomoniasis
A watery, yellowish or greenish bubbly discharge
An unpleasant odor
Pain and itching when urinating
Most apparent after your period

We just bought a house and need to put in the backyard, it's going to take a lot of money and work. We would like to get the kids swing set and trampoline up as soon as possible but we don't have the money to get the yard put in right now. Does anyone know what we can do to make our yard look nice, be kid friendly, and very inexpensive? Thanks!
There are no sprinklers, or any water for that fact, in the backyard and it needs grass and a patio as well.
This is a newer home with nothing but dirt, the ground has never been touched.

Answer
When I moved in this last house, I simply knocked on doors and asked for a start. There were so many succulents and tropicals that could easily be started. I watched for sales and mark downs and brought them back to life. At least now you have the internet to research how to start what plants. Do some interesting things. I met a lady before I moved and she had gotten an apple tree and then grafted different apples on different branches. You can do that with many other things. I was so broke when I moved in I used to go down the side walks and pull the strings of carpet grass and take them home and plant them. Don't laugh...I had a good yard within a year and it didn't cost me anything. The other thing you need is to figure out how to get water to the back yard. I didn't have water in the front so I poked a hole through my house and ran pipe over to the front with a shut off for water stealers or cold weather. I ended up with a washing shed...I guess they call them here...but an small place for the washer and places to hang clothes to dry in the fresh air but sheltered. I also found a small plant with white flowers that looked like an expensive purple one but was wild. I have a bed of them across the back fence and they are indigenous so they simple bloom and bloom and bloom. I also drove around and still do looking in the heaps of plant people put out to be picked up. I've gotten all sorts of plants and certainly a lot of banana trees and lots of ivy and yuccas. People laughed at me because I didn't use a color scheme. Actually I did but they didn't get it at first. It's myriads of color but in a way so that each color area always has something blooming and one color compliments the next and I bet I have one of everything that will grow here.

what are your favorite things to do in the spring/summer????

Rainbow Ki

i'm trying to get ideas for a huge list i'm making of fun things to do :]

Answer
My favorite seasons!!! :D I get so happy in the spring and summer. Just reading this question made me feel a little cheerier! lol. Just a few of my faves:

- going swimming. Having your own backyard pool is a must in Phoenix, so a lot of my summertime memories revolve around swimming. : ]

- picnics! There are some really great mountains here that make for good dayhikes, and a little picnic at the top enjoying the view is so fun. Or there's always the picnic-in-the-park, or even your yard. There's just something about eating outside that makes it taste so much better!

- playing at the park -- sports, games, or just monkeying around on the playground :D

- having a neighborhood "Relive Your Childhood" party, with everyone running through the sprinklers, eating cherry popsicles, blasting good "summertime" music, etc. Or, if the adults prefer, sitting in lawnchairs sipping strawberry lemonade, getting some sun while watching through their sunglasses as the kids play. lol

- barbecues! This goes well with the last one. They must include certain foods, though -- ESPECIALLY cracking open a watermelon for dessert!

- having a watermelon seed spitting contest :D

- water balloon fights!

- flying a kite (best in spring)

- having a driveway art exhibition, sharing you & your friends'/family's/kids' sidewalk chalk creations, awarding prizes for most creative, most colorful, most abstract, and whatever other awards you can think of -- but everyone must get one, if kids are involved! It's more fun that way. : )

- playing Cowboys and Indians

- 'camping out' in the backyard, either in a tent or, if the weather is suitable & you feel it's safe, sleeping bags/blankets on a giant trampoline. It's fantastic for stargazing. We've done this many times, but! You have to remember to put a blanket UNDER you as well as over, otherwise you'll freeze even if you pile on the blankets. Yes, we really did have to find this out from experience! lol (Idk how cold it gets at night in other places, but it can cool off quite a bit at night here in the desert)

- if it's too hot to camp outside in your yard, build blanket forts inside! We used to have sleepovers in our blanket fort under the dining room table (I have 8 siblings, so it was a big table) and the various other forts we set up all throughout the house. For some reason, scary ghost stories were always more spooky INDOORS than out! We'd even microwave S'mores for the occasion. : )

- hide and seek/tag -- with squirtguns, if you're adventurous! ; )

- going to a water park

- making fun hot-weather treats: frozen kool-ade pops, pudding parfaits, homemade ice cream or sno-cones, that sorta thing (then enjoying them together, of course!)

- planting and tending a garden <3

- going to a museum or amusement park

- garage sale crawls at 8 AM

- going to the zoo and letting the kids take pictures with a cheap disposable camera

- taking a daytrip to a nearby state park or local attraction. Here in AZ, some ideas would be any of the nearby ghost towns, the Grand Canyon, Sedona (for the creeks & the touristy shops), Montezuma's Castle & other ruins, or any of the state's lakes (I can never get enough time in/near the water!)

- speaking of lakes... FISHING! If you live someplace where there isn't really a good natural fishing spot (like I do : P), look for artificial lakes that allow fishing

Those are just some examples of the stuff we do in the spring and summer that ALWAYS make for good times and great memories! <3

What is the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer? 10 points for best answer!?

gymnast

I want to buy a water trampoline and was wondering the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer. I am a competitive gymnast and need a lot of bounce. My budget is tight. I do not want to spend over $400 dollars. Can you tell me which one is cheaper. Thanks for your help! it would be very helpful if you include links.

Answer
I swear I answered like 10 of these exact questions. A few by you. I don't get it. Why are you posting the same question over and over again? Anyway...

Q: What is the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer?

A: A water trampoline and a water bouncer have a few distinct differences. Water bouncers tend to be smaller, less expensive and also do not produce as high of jumps. This is because water bouncers have netting that is attached directly to the inflation tube whereas water trampolineâs netting is attached by springs to a frame which allows for higher bouncing and can support heavier weight loads.


Water trampolines and bounce platforms look very similar and indeed are similar. Both water trampolines and bounce platforms are have a bounce surface and both can be used for hours of fun. Attachments are offered for both water trampolines and bounce platforms. Attachments can include slides, logs and ladders. Water trampolines have a bounce surface supported by a steel frame and trampoline springs, bounce platforms have jump surface supported by a spring-less interlocking webbing connected from the floatation tube to the jump surface. Water trampolines can hold more weight and will have a higher jump compared to a bounce platform.

Bounce platforms are a great family recreational product and costs less then a water trampoline. It will support a good amount of weight and will provide a short bounce. Generally a bouncer will not require any assembly other then inflating and anchoring. A water trampoline requires assembling the framed jump surface. This will take about 30 minutes additional set-up time. Because of these differences water trampolines are generally higher priced then bounce platforms.

I hurt my back on the trampoline?

Avvy

I was supposed to be doing stuff for gymnastics,but I got distracted and started to play around instead.I was jumping,then I landed on my back in a weird way and now it hurts really bad.

What can I do to make it feel better fast?
I have gymnastics again tommorow,and I want to be able to do it.

Answer
Run it under hot/warm water for a while. then put ice on it then some more hot water.
Like the icy hot patch except for cheaper.
The heat should relax the musicles. if that doesn't work take some advil and keep it under warm things. Hope you feel better.

Please
