This Toddler T-Ball Set is perfect for your budding all-star!

Ball toys like this Toddler T-Ball Set are a great way to build confidence and get your kids excited as they learn sports. Whether they will be playing softball or baseball, T-ball usually comes first. Getting them ready by teaching them how to hit it off the tee has been a long tradition for many families.

Why Choose The EagleStone Toddler T-Ball Set?

This T-ball set is made up of top-quality non-toxic material.
The oversized bat in this lightweight set is easy for little ones to hold and swing.
EagleStone’s beginning Tee-ball set includes an adjustable height “T” that adapts to a child’s developing skills and height.
They provide you with SIX oversized balls so that you can have more fun before you have to collect your baseballs!
Designed for quick taking apart and storing. It is storage-friendly and takes up very limited space in your kid’s room! In fact, this T-Ball Game Set features a special “hang-on-the-wall” design!
Simply store all the toy set contents in the provided case and take it with you everywhere you go.
Not only will this baseball toy set improve your boy or girl’s batting skills, but it will also help them master their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination!

A Great T-Ball Set for Toddlers

This is a basic T-ball set that has two height adjustments so it can grow with your child. I would have liked to see the threads extend further up each piece so that we could have a little more flexibility in the height. One of the things that we love is that this set came with six balls for them to play with. With six balls my grandchildren can keep batting longer, before having to run collect their balls. As an added benefit of getting them outside running and playing, they will burn off some of that extra energy they have stored up. Wearing themselves out while having fun and learning to hit a ball is a WIN-WIN in my book.

The bat is a good size for little hands. The quality is as expected and it is lightweight so that relieves some of the worries about the two of them getting hurt while fighting over who’s turn it is. I mean playing and sharing; like we know all toddlers do so well. 🙂

Everything is convenient.

With so many toys in their toybox, this set having a “hang-on-the-wall” design for easy storage is awesome! When it’s time to play we just have to grab the bag of balls, take the rest of the set off the wall, and we’re playing in a matter of minutes.

Although many sellers of t-ball sets mention using these sets indoors, I would caution against it. You’d be surprised at how much damage a toddler with a plastic ball and bat can do to your television set and windows.

Overall, we are very pleased with this toddler t-ball set and would recommend it for anyone who would like to introduce their toddler to sports.

We’re Going To See The Harlem Globetrotters!

During the ‘70s and ‘80s, the Globetrotters entertained us on Saturday’s with “The Harlem Globetrotters” cartoon show, which had some of the highest ratings Saturday morning television history, and a live-action Saturday morning variety show, “The Harlem Globetrotters Popcorn Machine.” Along with millions of others, I was captivated by their energy. Although we grew up on opposite sides of the U.S., Marcus and both still remember the excitement and awe we felt when we got to see them live more than 40 years ago! My children were also thrilled with their live performance and still get excited when thinking about the time they got to see them. Now, I get to take my nephew and twin grandchildren to their show here in Charleston this weekend. I know that these 12-year-olds will be awed just like we were.

OUR VISIT TO SEE THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS!

I haven’t seen the Harlem Globetrotters for many years and it was more show vs game and basketball tricks than I remember. However, the three 12-year-olds I had with me loved all the antics and showmanship. They were frequently laughing throughout the event and were excited to get to meet the players after the show. The autograph session after the game was a bit chaotic as every youngster wanted to get their balls and jerseys signed. The players took time to pose for pictures and some even talked with the kids.

The Harlem Globetrotters are very talented, hilarious and entertaining as they spin the basketball on their fingertips, seem to defy gravity as they fly into the air for a slam dunk, and toss that the ball between their legs back and forth with lightning speed.

How Far Do You Go? With the Ozeri Pedometer - You'll Know

How Far Do You Go?
With the Ozeri Pedometer – You’ll Know

We’re two weeks into the new year and our new year’s resolutions. I’ve had some good days and some not so good. However, I’m determined to stick with it and finish 2018 healthier than I started it. I’ve looked to some of the great items I’ve reviewed over the past years to help me stay on track. Some I’ve used off and on since receiving them, some I set aside and said that I would start using them next week. Next week, came and went. But no more!! I’m going to do this and so can you! Here’s one of the items that’s going to help me reach my goal.

Presenting the newly updated 4x3razor Digital Pedometer by Ozeri – the world’s thinnest and most advanced 3D activity tracker. Unlike traditional pedometers that do not work accurately unless secured vertically, the 4×3 razor pedometer utilizes a new advanced 3D Bosch sensor from Germany with Tri-Axis technology that provides superior accuracy in any orientation, whether up, down, flat, on its side, or at any angle. The 4x3razor’s Bosch Sensor is a digital accelerometer which is far more accurate than mechanical sensors found in other devices.

New 3D Tri-Axis Bosch Sensor from Germany (with X, Y, Z vector detection) provides superior accuracy in any position.
Designed for high-performance athletes, the 4x3 razor is the world’s thinnest and lightest pedometer — 0.5cm (less than 0.2″) thick and weighs just half an ounce.

How Far Do You Go? With the Ozeri Pedometer - You'll Know

Records steps, distance, calories, fat burned and exercise time with the most advanced Tri-Axis technology.
Counts up to 1 million steps with 7-Day Memory, and includes a built-in Clock and Sports Timer with Auto Sleep technology.
Razor thin design that fits in any pocket. Ships with a belt clip, extra battery, and detachable lanyard included. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

My Thoughts:

When my pedometer arrived all I had to do was pull the tab to activate the included battery and set it. I found the instructions simple and very easy to follow to enter the information needed to use all the features that this pedometer offers. I like that it is very slim and lightweight. It recorded my steps with no problem when I just popped it into my pocket and walked to the mailbox. The lanyard securely attaches the unit to your clothes so that it won’t be lost even with the most vigorous activity. I would highly recommend this quality product to anyone wanting to track their activity.

A Dry Bag That Is Competent For Crucial Containment

Lately, we have been experimenting and testing this 20 Liter Waterproof “Dry Bag” from ForlifeStore. This company is new to us and yet it was founded in 1989. That’s a long time with our current here today and gone tomorrow business environment. We have several dry bags as we know the value of having a competent weatherproof place to stow our vulnerable gear. If you’re like us you will have important items that you will need to keep dry. Like clothes and survival necessities; GPS, fire starter, maps, compass, etc. At 20 liters this bag has ample size to accommodate all the vital equipment that we need. But before heading out with our gear, testing of this dry bag needed to be done first.

For the sake of science, we used newspaper in place of our precious cargo for testing. It’s a great moisture indicator and much cheaper than our sensitive gear to replace. After loading and properly sealing the opening, it was test time. We left the newspaper laden bag sitting by a tree with inclement weather coming. Living in the south with high heat, humidity, and torrential rainfall that pops up without warning a dry bag must be able to survive a summer thunderstorm to be useful here. We are pleased to report that after three solid days of rainfall that we found no sign of water permeating the ForlifeStore bag. The newspaper was as dry as the day it went in. We now feel confident exposing this dry bag to the extreme environments we will subject it to while camping, rafting, and exploring.

This bag has a couple of features we both really like and none of our other bags offer. The first is the clear window that the bag has down its side. Great for visually inspecting and locating its contents without having to open the bag and dig through it. Especially, nice when it’s raining and you need to retrieve something. The next feature that the shorter of the two of us really likes is the two padded straps that came with it. These removable and well-constructed straps allow the taller of us to carry the sometimes heavy payload of the shorter one. Last but not least is the clear waterproof pouch that was included. Perfect for an extra layer of protection for our water sensitive electronics. We are very pleased with everything that we received and found that overall, this product delivers what it promised and walks its talk with confidence.

BURBANK, CA (July 22, 2016) – It’s the golden anniversary of Charlie Brown’s All Stars, the beloved Peanuts television special, which earned two Primetime Emmy® Award nominations. To mark the occasion, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) will release this delightful story in a deluxe, 50^th anniversary edition, completely remastered in beautiful high definition on October 4, 2016. Charlie Brown’s All Stars follows the bittersweet story of Charlie Brown, who won’t give up on trying to bring his baseball team to victory, in spite of facing great criticism from the team’s players. This release will be timed to the culmination of the World Series. Charlie Brown’s All Stars 50^th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will retail for $19.98 SRP.

In Charlie Brown’s All Stars, it’s summer and baseball season gets underway. Charlie Brown is put in charge of managing the Peanuts’ baseball team again, which in the past, has only suffered crushing defeat from its opponents. The disillusioned players blame Charlie Brown for the team’s past poor performance. When a sponsor offers Charlie Brown real baseball uniforms and a chance to be part of an actual league, he is thrilled. He believes the new uniforms and acceptance into a real league will motivate his players. His excitement however, soon turns into disappointment when he learns that if he accepts the offer, Snoopy, Lucy, Patty, Violet and Frieda will be kicked off the team because the league’s policy prevents girls and dogs from playing. Poor Charlie Brown, not only is he criticized by his teammates for being a bad manager, he’s now faced with a difficult moral dilemma. Should he accept the uniforms?
