Mama Loves: Balloons

Welcome to another week of Mama Loves! So glad that you've stopped by!

Mama Loves is a linky party where mamas can share anything that has made your life easier as a mama.

Maybe you've found: 

• a toy or book that captivates your child(ren)
• gear you just can't live without
• a recipe your choosy toddler gobbles down
• a parenting book that you've found perspective changing
• an activity that wears your kid(s) out (these lead to good naps, which we all love)
• an outfit that flatters your post-baby body and makes you feel fabulous
• or anything else you're loving--creativity welcome!

Share it with us! Blogging has made me a better mama, because I've learned about all kinds of great things, like those listed above, from mamas just like you. Here's your chance to share it with all of us!

To link your post up, click on the linky tool at the bottom, and follow the directions, it's really easy. You can also add this beautiful button to your post. Just grab the code in the box, copy and paste it into your post. Easy.

Our girls love balloons.

They only first saw/experienced a balloon for the first time at a birthday party.

Just look at our little Brynne's face! That's what I call a party!

If that isn't pure delight, I don't know what is.

When I was a little girl, my grandparents used to get us those punching balloons. You know. The ones that are attached to a rubber band. You hold the rubber band, and punch the balloon. 

So, I found some of those and bought them right up. They were stocking-stuffers for our girls.

Yeah. They love those punching balloons:

See? Brynne is making almost exactly the same face!



Hadley loves them too.

Here are some of the great things about punching balloons:

• they are sturdy--it takes a lot to pop these
• when the air gets low, you can untie them, and air them back up
• the best part is that they are cheap--I got a set of two for $1.50

I do recommend supervision. Our girls don't play with these without supervision.

Lots of supervised fun for $1.50. Totally worth it!

Can't wait to see what you're loving!
