How about a pool party with family and friends and a beautiful new pool!
Well that is exactly what we did... and it was AWESOME! We were fortunate enough to be sent this 22ft pool from @Tryazon and @BestwayUS to try out and share with our family and friends. This pool is The Coleman Power Steel Swim Vista Series II. The pool comes with a Filter pump, Pool Cover and Safety Ladder.

You can visit this link here to read all the features for this beautiful pool and see what other great products are available from Bestway.
My favorite feature of the Swim Vista Series Pool is the Portholes. My boys love to make silly faces and wave to me while they are swimming under water. My littlest guy loves watching his big brothers in the pool. Besides this being a fun thing for playing in the pool, it is also a great safety feature.
We planned a fun pool party to celebrate with family and friends and everyone had a blast. The weather was still a little cold since it is March after all, but that didn't stop the kids from jumping in. If you are anxious to get started with fun pool days, you can get some tips for heating your pool water here.
Just look at how much fun the kids were having! These are some of my favorite shots from the day. I'm sure there will be many more pool parties and priceless pictures to go along with it this summer.
Most of our party guests jumped in for one picture at the end of our party and then helped us put the pool cover back on. We are already looking forward to our next pool party with our family and friends.
A big thank you again to Tryazon and Bestway for giving us a summer full of super fun family moments in our new pool!
It's Here! It's Here! The Finale of our new favorite family show Secrets of Sulphur Springs. If you haven't been watching, you can catch up now on Disney Plus or DisneyNOW. If you love suspense, mystery, time-travel and trying to solve clues... this is the show for you! And the best part is it is one you can enjoy with your kids. My boys are 6, 9 and 11 and we all anxiously await the weekly episodes to see if any of our theories are correct. Let me tell you a little more about Disney Channel's first ever time-traveling mystery series.
A little background on the show:
Set in the fiction Louisiana town of Sulphur Springs, the series follows 12-year-old Griffin Campbell whose world has been upended by his father, Ben. Ben has moved the family from Chicago to take ownership of an abandoned hotel property, The Tremont. The Campbell family, which also includes Griffin's mother, Sarah, and his younger twin siblings Wyatt and Zoey, moves into the Tremont in hopes of restoring the lively vacation destination it once was. On his first day at his new school, Griffin hears that the hotel is haunted by the ghost of Savannah, a girl who disappeared decades ago. He soon meets and befriends Harper, a thrill-seeking classmate, and soon they discover a secret portal that allows them to travel back in time and uncover clues about the town mystery.

We also had the chance to interview a few of the actors from Secrets of Sulphur Springs through zoom this week. We were joined by Elle Graham (Savannah), Preston Oliver (Griffin) and Kyliegh Curran (Harper) after we watched the sneak peek of the finale with a great group of mom bloggers and their families. My son Link had a great question to ask the Disney Channel cast. See the video below for the question and the very cool answer they shared with us.

A special thank you to Disney Channel PR and Kristin Cruz for this weeks special delivery. Did any of you have a caboodle growing up? I know I did and I loved mine! This time though, I'm sure mine will be used for an army base or legos thanks to my boys. Life sure has changed for me, but I wouldn't want to share my new caboodle with anyone else. 💙
