5 Ways to Use Your Monkey Mat

August 18, 2016 By Callie Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Monkey Mat. I received a Monkey Mat to review and all thoughts and sparkles are my own.

Have you seen those Monkey Mats? I had been eyeing them and thinking to myself I can totally use that in so many ways. Monkey Mat is a water resistant self storing travel mat if you will that’s machine washable! It folds down into a tiny pouch-which it’s attached too and is super easy to store.

How can you use your Monkey Mat…..well

How about when you are out and about on those long days for kids sports? I know so many people who spend all day at the field with their kids. The Monkey Mat can easily be laid down for littles to play on and for those in between game breaks.

Amusement parks. So if you read my blog you know we love amusement parks. The Monkey Mat folds down inside it’s attached pocket and can easily be stored in a backpack or for us our stroller. Perfect for placing down on wet sidewalks for parades or just to save your spot. We will definitely be doing this.

Beach days! The Monkey Mat also has anchor hooks-sold separately….but I would get them! You can lay the weighted Monkey Mat down on the sand and anchor it with your stakes. What if it got wet-no worries this baby dries up quickly and don’t worry about spills either just throw some water on them and let the Monkey Mat dry.

Outdoor Concerts-we are lucky to have several venues in our area where we can go and sit outside and listen to concerts. The Monkey Mat is lightweight and much easier to carry than a blanket.

A Cover! Monkey Mat should not be placed over heads but guess what it can be placed over…wagons-cover and tie with your anchors in the rain, your stroller, and oh boy I wish we has this on our last vacation, a scooter since the control panel can’t get wet. Wish we has known that while we were on a ride and Grandmas scooter was parked outside and got rained on…not fun, not fun.

Monkey Mat works for our family and travel needs. I especially love how small and easy to store it is because less is more!

How would you use your Monkey Mat?

Keeping Sun Safe

October 22, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Can I just start this post by saying it’s literally still in the 90’s in the Houston area. It’s crazy! We Row is a big outdoors person and as a result I’m out there too. She literally wants to be outside everyday which is wonderful. I’m also worried about the affects the sun has on her skin. I noticed this past year when looking for swimsuits and outdoor wear I just couldn’t find many long sleeved options and then I stumbled upon UVSkinz.

UVSkinz is a company with sun protection as it’s main focus. UVSkinz offers a wide variety of cute, colorful and comfortable clothing and swimwear for all ages and their clothing has a UPF-ultraviolet protection factor of 50+. Think about that for a minute….

Check out how cute this get up is?

The clothes went easily on Row-no fussing and they felt really nice. The top was not heavy but rather cool and allowed her to move freely for outdoor play.

How cute is the skirt with built in bloomers-easily fit over her diaper too.

Row was able to be comfortable and play in and out of the water and I knew she was protected. I really appreciate the fact that her UVSkinz outfit can be worn for outdoor play and for swimming. It looks just like a sporty little skirt set and yes we completely ran to the grocery store in this outfit after she played in the water. The top and skirt dried quickly too.

UVSkinz also offer bucket hats that are reversible for outdoor play. Now as a Mama I really appreciate this because apparently retailers only make bucket hats for infants. I’m so glad I found a place that is concerned about protecting Row from the sun as much as I am.

Now I do have to say that while wearing your UVSkinz you still need to apply sunscreen because obviously they don’t cover everything…..but they cover more than anything else and are darn cute. I love the variety of options and the quality of their products.

I may have my eye on a cute sun hat for myself now. Just saying.  I mean it’s still 90 in Houston.

Happy Fall Ya’ll! Oh and stay sun safe.

I received products from UVSkinz to review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
