Portable Shade for Families on the Go!


Umbrellas offer outstanding shade and protection to your family at home, but they are not exactly portable. Normally, the thought of dragging a heavy umbrella around on family outings does not seem possible. You also have the added dilemma of finding somewhere to support the umbrella. The perfect portable shade solution is here! Take the shade with you with the Auto-Mo-Brella. It is extremely easy to attach to your car, truck, or SUV’s hitch and will be covering you in seconds! The Auto-Mo-Brella is perfect for camping, tailgate parties, trips to the park or the beach, sporting events, or anywhere else that your adventures take you.

Get Your Family Outside With Murbles!

Murbles Game

Family gatherings offer a fun, bonding experience for family members of every age. For my family, these gatherings often include outdoor games, such as horseshoes or volleyball. This year, I am adding a new game to the mix! The Murbles Game is a great way to get everyone involved and offers both fun and exercise. Murbles requires no set up! You simply open and play! The game is simple enough that even children can understand, but is entertaining enough to keep everyone’s attention. Even if you have trees, rocks, or irregular terrain, you can still play! In fact, these obstacles can even make Murbles more interesting! You can choose from 20 different ball colors to customize the game to your liking. It even makes a great Christmas gift! Friendly, family competition is sure to ensue at your next gathering with the Murbles Game!

My daughter and I have “afternoon adventures”, as we call them, at least once a week. Some times we go to the park, sometimes the museum, but we almost always have a picnic at the end of our adventure. There is something exciting and relaxing about enjoying the nice afternoon temperatures and dining outdoors. With the amazing new picnic baskets available today, adults and children alike can easily enjoy dining al fresco any time they choose! These are not the wicker baskets of the past. They come with not only a fully insulated container that holds food and drinks, but also a full place setting for two! Plates, silverware, cloth napkins, cutting board, and even a cork screw come tucked inside. They are super convenient, super stylish, and super fun! Plan your own afternoon adventure, and don’t forget your picnic basket.

Create Campfire Fun With Outdoor Fire Pits

 Fire Pits and Fire Bowls

The nights are growing deliciously cooler, and it’s the best time of year to let your senses soak up the seasonal changes.  One of the best outdoor smells in the fall months is that of a campfire, and creating your own backyard campfire is as easy as loading up the Outdoor Fire Pit with the proper fuel and setting it ablaze.   Outdoor fire pits are an ideal place around which friends and family can gather for cozy evenings of storytelling, marshmallow toasting, and star-gazing.  Most fire pits come with spark guards so you’ll never have to be concerned about fire hazard from flying sparks.  Plus, a spark guard makes it safer to sit closer to the warmth of the fire pit when those fall temperatures turn especially crisp.
