There are numerous reasons why you should consider an outdoor playset. There are several studies that show the physical and emotional benefits for children playing outside. An outdoor playset creates an outdoor fun place for your kids to stretch their imagination and build social skills playing with other family members & childhood friends. Fresh air and physical activity are just what the doctor ordered in a generation bombarded of video games and electronic media. An outdoor playset also serves as emotional get away and secure little hideout in those tough moments learning the walk of life.
On top of all the health reasons for your family to have an outdoor playset, it is satisfying enough to hear our children laugh and have fun! Smiles are plentiful when your kids find themselves in a land of adventure and good times on a high quality outdoor playset. It’s time to give your children a new reason to get outdoors, use their expanding imagination, and get the physical activity that every kid should have in order to be healthy.

A Patio is the perfect way to improve the quality of your home for many reasons; you could host a party, or you could have a barbecue, host a get together, or anything else that you might want to do on your back porch. But what happens if you do all the planning for big events only for it to rain on your party or your big get together? This could truly ruin the entire event that you spend so much time getting ready for, and a patio awning can truly save tragedies such as this from happening, and are perfect for protecting your patio and prolonging the life of your belongings. There are numerous different types of awnings when choosing a patio awning, and they all will fall into numerous budgets, which makes it simple for you to decide which one is the best for you.

The first type of patio awning would just be a typical canopy type awning, which would have to be put up and taken down each time that you need to use it. The main benefit of this type of patio awning is that they are relatively inexpensive and can be bought in various sizes, which helps to accommodate many different events.

This post is by my friend Kim who blogs over at Live from the 205 and tweets @KimT205 .  Stop on by her blog, give her a read and show her some love.

Kim, thanks for guest posting for me!

(I had an even better intro typed yesterday but lost it and am not pleased, so I am sorry it is so short!)

I am a weather nerd. Give me a storm or a tornado and I will stay glued to coverage like it’s the Super Bowl. I am friends with our local weatherman and if I’m not home I RECORD THE WEATHER FORECAST. Yes, I’m a complete meteorlogical goob. My dream gadget is a Davis Weather Machine thingy, but alas I now only have a Radio Shack weather radio to get my fix with.

I’m also one of those idiots that would love to chase a tornado.

The dumbass standing in the surf when a hurricane is coming? Me.

The girl who walks in the rain instead of running? <<<<

The person who has hurricane season highlighted on the calender? Me.

The person that slows down in front of you in traffic to take a picture of a cool looking cloud? Yea, that’s me too.

I have a whole folder on my iMac dedicated to the weather. I refuse to watch the Weather Channel because they started a feud with THE GREATEST METEOROLOGIST OF ALL TIME,James Spann. They are dead to me.

Here’s the thing though…I am a bad weather MAGNET !!

I was brought on by barometric pressure, I kid you not. I was about three weeks early because Hurricane Camille came ashore while my mom was pregnant and the subsequent drop in barometric pressure put her in labor.

When I was about 3 or 4 a freak snowstorm dropped a foot of snow at my house. In Houston, Texas.

I grew up in Singapore and went through many a monsoon.

I’ve been in a plane that was struck by lightning and went down to one engine. We had to make an emergency landing in the Phillipines with the foam and everything.

My parents used to have a condo on South Padre Island. Yea. Hurricane Barry.

One year while on Spring Break we left for Florida, and by the time we got there a late winter storm had unexpectedly rolled in and produced the lowest temps in Fort Walton Beach in 70 years !

I had front row tickets to see Def Leppard when I was in college…. the concert was canceled….wanna know why? Hurricane Florence.

In 2004 I was at my parents house the day before Thanksgiving. My mom got me out of bed 30 seconds before an F3 tornado tore our house in half and deposited my bed, my laptop and all of my clothes on an island across the lake from their house.

2005? I lived in South Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina anyone?

And now it is the week of my birth. Tropical Storm Ana is moving in as I type, and Hurricane Bill (my dad’s name) is churning across the Atlantic.

Might I suggest if the weather gets bad, you get the hell away from me.

You’ve been warned.
