Light Up the Night with Reactorz + Giveaway – Ends 8/25

Having active kids means we like to keep them busy and encourage them to burn the extra energy they have. During the months when they can be outside, they are literally out there from morning to night and we only really see them when they need to eat or use the bathroom.

Of course, along with keeping them busy comes the struggle of constantly finding something new and exciting for them to do. This month, the kids have been enjoying burning some extra energy with all of their new balls from Reactorz by COOP Sports.

What Are Reactorz?

Reactorz are Coop Sports new line of balls made with Reactive Light Technology, so a kicked soccer ball or a tossed football becomes illuminated on contact. 

According to my kids, these are the coolest balls to ever exist and they cannot get enough of them, especially Joey.

From regulation-sized basketball and soccer to football (throws just like a real, regular football!) and disc, these awe-inspiring sporting goods are priced an allowance-friendly $5.99 to $19.99.

How Do They Do That?

The secret is the long-lasting battery life built in each ball, and the micro prism core that refracts light. Then they put their focus on the exterior. Each Reactorz boasts one of three core colors – Atomic (lime) Ice (blue) and Lava (red). Covering the balls is a contrasting shield color. The final result is like nothing else on the market!

The kids are planning on organzing some night kickball games at the ball diamond across from our house before the new school year kicks off and I am excited to watch!

Can Football Fans Help Joe Journeyman?

If you are a football fan, you will love to hunt for Joe Journeyman!

Joe Journeyman Volume 1 tells the story of “NFL legend” Joe Journeyman, “the only player to play for all 32 NFL teams.

Featuring hand-drawn, original artwork, Joe Journeyman takes you on a search adventure as Joe and his friends travel from one NFL team to the next. Readers are challenged to find more than 500 things – including characters, historical and city references, and tons of wild and wacky things – as they explore each NFL team’s two-page spread.

Of course, being the diehard Green Bay Packers fans we are, we loved following Joe on his journey through Titletown.

Joe Journeyman Volume 1 takes you to the homes of the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Pittsburgh Steelers. 

Not only is this book fun to look through with the kids, adults enjoy it too. There is so much to hunt for and the pictures are just amazing! I’m already looking into getting a copy of the Green Bay Packers spread to display in our rec room when it is done.

If you are a fan of football or are looking for a gift for someone who is, pick up a copy of Joe Journeyman: Volume One today!

 

The 2013 NFL Draft Starts Tomorrow…..

As I’m sure many of you know, we are huge football fans around here.  Tomorrow, the 2013 NFL Draft will kickoff and for the next 4 days, we will be tuned in to it.  This year however is much different for us.  This year, we are praying to hear one name be called.  This year we want to hear Mike Taylor from Wisconsin goes to……

after those words, I’m not real picky as to what is said but I wouldn’t complain if it was the Green Bay Packers.

Why does this matter so much to us?

Mike Taylor, he’s my cousin.

He’s a badass ball player and he deserves to play in the NFL.

I’m not just saying that because he is family.

He has the stats to back it up.

 

The boy is dedicated.
He works damn hard.
And he is one hell of a fighter.

So if you have a moment, wish my cousin Mike good luck!
(And please, have a few drinks for me to calm my nerves!)

Good luck Mike, we are all cheering for you!!
