Get Out And Play! #SummertimePlay @Voice_of_Play #sp

Today is officially the first day of Summer!  Get out there and have some Summertime Play! This post is sponsored by the Voice of Play. 

 Check out Benefits of Play from http://voiceofplay.org/

There are many benefits to Free time play, and expression while running around having fun on the playgrounds.  From Exploration, Cognitive Skills, even to Social Interaction with other children. Or just alone time while using imagination.  It's all important.

IPEMA likes to think of playgrounds as "nature’s many colorful, open, hands-on classrooms that provide tremendous learning opportunities to kids of all ages."  I agree 100%.

Do you have a favorite Park? Whats the reason this makes it your favorite place to take the kids?

Our favorite park has a huge Ship, which makes sense since we are close to Jamestown.  It also has a fenced in younger kids section that is perfect for Sy.

His sensory needs are met by the mini rock climbers, the embedded faux wall with old time tools, and camp ground. A lot of built in's under to pirate ship to spin, and on top.  Even a Crows Nest.  For the older kids, there is a Mini Zipline, and Higher Climbing wall with a Slide at the top.  It's an amazing park, and experience.  Great for Summer Time Play!

I challenge you to go out to a park, and play! :)  

BK Creamery Blueberries & Cream Waffles #Recipe #GlutenFree #sp

Recently I went to Giants for a BK Creamery In-Store Event.  I'm one of those people that also love to save money using coupons.  So I was excited to be able to use a ,60 cents off coupon towards Bk Creamery. 

There are a couple more events this weekend at a few Giants, and Super Shop & Stop, Check here and see if any are in your area for BK Creamery In-Store Event Testing.  I tried Strawberries, and Cream at mine.  I enjoyed just the fruit, and cream so I decided I wanted to do a simple recipe with just a fruit, and cream.  

Breakfast is my favorite part of the day.  I decided to make Blueberries over top of a Gluten Free Waffle.  Easy, delicious, and not costly.  Heres how I like to make BlueBerries & Cream Waffles.

Ingredients

• 1/2c BK Creamery Extra Thick Double Cream
• 1c Fresh Picked from the Garden Blue Berries
• Gluten Free Waffles

Bring the blueberries to a simmer, and cook until berries break down, about 4 minutes. Let cool a little.

Whisk in a bowl some Blueberry Syrup with BK Creamerys Extra Thick Double Cream.

Toast your Gluten Free Waffle (Or make from Scratch, I just use my favorite brands premade Gluten Free Blueberry Waffles.)

My blueberries were sweet, but if yours are too bitter, try a touch of lemon to get rid of the bitterness.


I am a fan of this cream, and how well it mixes with just a whisk.  It wasn't tangy, and I was dipping blueberries in the cream to eat as a treat.

Hint of Honey Vanilla Fruit Freezy Pops Recipe! @AlmondBreezeUS #Ad

This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk. All opinions are my own.

Almond Breeze Almondmilk Hint of Honey Vanilla is something I personally believe every pantry should have in it.  Not only is it shelf stable, it's also delicious in a lot of different recipes.  I wanted to do a fun, and easy recipe that my 4 year old could participate in too.  So we are making Honey Vanilla Fruit Freezy Pops.  They are extremely easy to make, and delicious!




Recipe for Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Hint of Honey Vanilla Fruit Freezy Pops

Ingredients:
1 cup Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Hint of Honey Vanilla Almondmilk.
3 cups frozen fruit (I like using Mixed Fruit with Mangos/Pineapple/and a few Strawberries
1/2 cup of Shredded Coconut
3 packets of Monk Fruit Sugar (we like extra sweetness.)

Directions: Blend 2 Cups of Fruit, 3 packets of Sugar and A Cup Almond Breeze together (I use a Nutribullet.)
Cut into smaller chunks the remaining cup of Fruit, Add that, and the 1/2 cup of Shredded Coconut to the Blended Mix. Stir with a spoon, and pour into the Freezer Pop Mold.

Makes 6 Freezer Pops.

Remember to just have fun with it, and enjoy. The Freezy Pops can always be changed to personal preferences. If you like Blueberries, do blueberries and Hint of Honey Vanilla Almond milk too.

There really is no wrong way! Hope your enjoyed! I know my little man had a blast.
