All it takes is a good plan and some savvy shopping skills. Here are nine tips for celebrations that are frugal and fun. Keep it Small. The easiest way to reduce your birthday party spending is to limit the number of guests. Let your child know the limit, and be firm. Don’t Schedule the Party at a Mealtime. You’ll also save money by holding the party at a time of day when you will not be responsible for providing a meal (from 2 to 4 in the afternoon, for example). Serve simple snacks or stick to cake and ice cream. Find an Inexpensive Location. Have your party at home, if at all possible. Otherwise shop around and find a venue that is budget friendly. Don’t Go Crazy with a Theme. If you have a theme, keep in mind that not every little detail needs to be theme-related. Instead, use colors to carry out the theme throughout the party and focus on the theme in a few general areas, such as table toppers and the cake decorations. Make Detailed Lists. The more organized you are, the more you …

I am going to focus more on childhood physical inactivity, since childhood obesity is such a broad and involved subject. Although one is linked to the other, childhood obesity involves not only physical inactivity but diet, eating habits etc, which will be a different article altogether. Children being Over-Weight is not only unhealthy, it inhibits the proper development of good health and well-being patterns. In regards to childhood obesity, no matter if the child is ten pounds, twenty or more pounds overweight, stern lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) need to made ASAP and as childhood obesity is an ever increasing problem, the extreme Inactivity of today’s children is a serious, dangerous and alarming problem facing parents (and their children) in the United States. Childhood obesity and childhood inactivity are obviously very connected. Being a well-seasoned personal trainer at The Fitness Underground-Los Angeles, I find this rapidly developing trend and grim health hazard very …

Whether you are looking for men women or children, there are some popular themes from the summer that will run through Halloween. Additionally, the major fancy dress costume manufacturers have been waking up to the fact that there is continued (and rapid) growth in the Halloween costume market and recently there has been a surge in the number of new fancy dress costume ranges specifically targeted at Halloween. So rather than simply identify and repeat what the most popular themes have been for the last few years, we should also be looking to predict which or the newer ranges will be taking this Halloween by storm and challenging for the position as most popular. Pirates This theme should take the number one position due to the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the excitement that they have created. This is a fun costume theme and allows the whole family to be involved. The films popularity has also ensured that there are costumes across all price ranges and if you …

The Wiggles are an Australian singing group who sing songs geared towards toddlers and preschoolers. Many of their songs are about simple household tasks and are very upbeat encouraging young ones to sing and dance along with them. Let the little ones pick out the invitations and help with planning Mom’s wiggles themed party by making up a guest list and helping to fill out the invitations, even if it’s just licking the envelopes and putting stamps on the letters. They’ll also have just the right music for the party in mind, The Wiggles, of course! Maybe you can sneak in a few tracks of some more laid back adult music for later on in the party. The wiggles each wear a certain color when performing and you can use these colors in the decoration of your party area. Use lots of green, blue, red and yellow in the form of balloons, streamers and metallic dangles. The Wiggles theme can often be found in paper supplies so take advantage of this and pick up tablecloths, napkins, plates and cu …

This mat actually saved $$ on gymnastics classes. My daughter has always been active in dance and wanted to learn gymnastics to compliment her dancing. She started taking the class but didn’t progress as fast as she does for dance. I realized that she needed to practice at home as she always has for dance. After getting the mat she made great progress and even her instructor commented to us about her rate of improvement. If your child(ren) is/are active in gymnastics, then this mat is a must. It is large enough to safely practice everything they learn in class at home.
Customer Review: great mats, great company

Rolling along the floor demands care in setting the hoop off into the roll so that it remains vertical and in a straight line. When it is in motion, the gymnast performs a variety of body movements, having to travel at some stage to catch up with it and collect it. In order to achieve this, the arm must be swung vigorously forwards to achieve the roll away, but the wrist pulls up and back equally vigorously in order to put the back spin on to the hoop. This is fun to do, and creates great amusement when the action is not quite true, and the hoop rolls off towards someone else instead of coming back to the sender. Of greater difficulty, because of the size of the hoop, is the roll on the body. The technique is basically the same as that used for rolling the ball which is identical for the actual roll itself, but the difference lies in initiating the movement. The hoop must be gripped more tightly to ensure that it is placed in a vertical position on the body. The fingers open and the h …

Running should be analyzed, broken down into smaller parts drills, and then taught correctly. Foot alignment, knee lift, heel lift, arm swing, and even where the athlete is focusing should be trained individually, corrected, and practiced frequently. Perhaps during training, each portion of the run or the drills should be used as a warm up for training or for a more enjoyable experience, as relay races. For a relay race each movement of the run can be performed by a different teammate. Another idea is to have every participant in the race perform a certain portion or movement of the running technique. A great contest idea for athletes is to use the arm swing for the run; once the correct elbow angle and swing (alternate motion of forward and back) are learned, the number of arm swings per 30 seconds can be timed. Coaches must watch that the athletes keep their arms bent throughout the swing rather than bending and straightening with each swing. The “karate chop” motion is popular a …

Airzone 38-Inch Mini Band Trampoline Airzone 38-Inch Mini Band Trampoline Lots of jumping fun for one! Mini, 38″ trampoline features tension bands, a durable powder-coated steel frame and a sturdy polypropylene surface. Measures 38″ in diameter x 13″ high.
Customer Review: Fun but could be sturdier.
It’s a good trampoline for little kids. Two 4 year old can even jump on it together. It can hold an adult fine, but I noticed after using it VERY lightly for a couple of weeks that one of the legs is no longer straight. It’s not bended, but is at a wrong angle to the circular frame. I am quite disappointed by this.
Customer Review: Tough to assemble
I expected that the legs would not be on; but I never expected the difficulty I encountered assembling the rails and mat.
The instructions have a warning:
“3 adults in good physical condition are required for the following assembly. Wear proper shoes and maintain balance to prevent a fall.” Good advice, but there is no way of knowing the problems you can encounter until you get it out of the box and see the assembly instructions.
I got the rails and mat together; and it did take 3 adults.
I never could get the safety pad to fit.
