First Time at a Long Island Beach

We have lived in New York for a month now, and we are loving it, except the traffic and honking. We live directly on the main rd through most of Long Island Main ST. or 25A and we here at least 50 honks a day, people are so impatient out here.

Anyways we finally went to the beach and had some fun. Beach on Long Island Sound not Atlantic ocean

The beach was vwry rocky and there were more rocks and shells than sand, so we cut up our feet walking around.

We had fun though!

Henson’s Place DVD Review

Product Description:  Take a peek behind the curtain with HENSON’S PLACE, the original documentary about Jim Henson, the creative visionary that brought us the enchantment of “The Muppet Show,” THE DARK CRYSTAL and more! From honing his skills as a puppeteer in college to creating some of the world’s most beloved characters in the last 30 years, see the imaginative genius like never before. Enjoy interviews with Henson, his wife Jane, long-time puppeteer partner Frank Oz and others, as they share memories of the legendary “Muppet Show,” “Sesame Street,” and “Fraggle Rock,” with a behind-the-scenes look inside the revolutionary Henson Workshop. Experience Henson’s desires to not only create new worlds, but also to celebrate the child inside all of us!

****This dvd was really cool, it’s all about Jim Henson the creator of all things muppet. His vision, and how he came up with all these creative ideas. This was very interesting to watch, I grew up with Fraggle Rock, Muppets and muppet Babies, so showing my kids how it was all done and the different muppets really excited them.

Perfect Shower with WaterPik

Waterpik shower heads are designed and engineered to combine unsurpassed performance with fresh styles and designs that make an impressive addition to any bathroom. Their exclusive Optiflow shower head technology increases water force up to 30% by optimizing water flow. They invented the first massaging shower head years ago, and continue to build upon tradition of innovation today

****This showerhead is amazing. My old showerhead shot water in every single direction and didn’t have any massage settings. With the waterpik, all the water flows directly down from the showerhead, so all the water is on you. It has several different water speeds, including massage and mist. The thing I really like is the shower head is also a handle that you can take down. It is so much easier to wash my childrens hair when I am in control of the showerhead.

Have Some Lemonade with Country Time giveawayCLOSED

From Site: What better way to enjoy the summer than with a tall, refreshing glass of Country Time Lemonade. The taste that’s not too tart and not too sweet. Why not mix up an icy, cold pitcher, sit back and drink it all in. Summer’s just not summer without Country Time.

Country time has two lemonade flavors, regular lemonade and pink lemonade. Both are refreshing and have 40% less sugar than leading soda brands.

****We make a lot of kool-aid in our house, so i thought that this was going to be exacyly like that. I was wrong making the lemonade was so much easier. No need for measuring cups and worrying about sugar. the country ime cannister has a measuring cup in the cap.  All you do is fill a pitcher with cold water measure the lemonade mix in cap, pour stir and your done. It’s very delicous too, my kids can’t get enough of it.  It’s a great summer treat.

Country Time has also been a big part of Alex’s lemonade Stand. Helping fight childhood cancer one cup at a time.  For more information please visit Country Time Website
