Kid Entrepreneurs!

Did you know that a good number of successful entrepreneurs around the world started their journey in business as kids?  Warren Buffet the world-renowned business magnate and philanthropist built his business acumen out of selling gums. Daymond John customized pencils for his schoolmates at a fee. Mark Cuban who owns Mavericks started by selling garbage bags. Sir Richard Branson at the tender age of 11 was making money by selling Parakeets to children in his neighborhood.

Why Encourage Kids to Be Entrepreneurs?

Unlike adults, kids have an innate desire to dream and to experiment with new ideas. With the right support, many kids have been able to turn their ideas into profitable opportunities. The path to entrepreneurship prepares the kids for success in their lives, workplace, and future businesses.

Kids learn very valuable life lessons such as:

  • How to become more confident which helps develop their public speaking skills.
  • How to separate and manage finances, both personal and business. It helps kids to learn about budgets, savings and spending money responsibly.
  • How to handle rejection and failure because not everything will work how they had planned.
  • How to budget and manage their time as well as how to plan and stick to schedules.
  • The essence of accountability to their clients, investors and most importantly to themselves.

Encouraging an Entrepreneurial Mindset

Kids do not have to be born entrepreneurs; we can grow and expose them to an entrepreneurial mindset by:

  • Creating a strong support system and encouraging them in their ideas even when they sound so outrageous or impossible to achieve.
  • Helping them to identify areas they are passionate about so that they can greatly enjoy running their business.
  • Create opportunities for them to make their pitches if they need funding. This will help them to become better in their communication and to understand their business better.
  • Creating fun environments that change their regular routines and encourage their creativity to flow.
  • Kids are not exempt from the legal requirements of running a business. It is therefore important to ensure that they acquire all the necessary permits and are fully compliant with all the city, county or federal regulations.
  • Help them to create business plans and to understand their value propositions so that they are better able to sell their services to their clients.

Simple business ideas great for kid entrepreneurs

Whilst different kids may have different interests, below are some ideas that can spark or build on their entrepreneurial desires:

  • Prepare and sell art pieces such as drawings, postcards or portraits.
  • Learn how to crochet or knit scarves, hats, and
  • Collect items for recycling and make products out of them.
  • Bake cakes or cookies or prepare lemonade for sale.

Prepare Children for a Successful Future

Kids who engage in entrepreneurship gain several relevant life skills that never depart from them. The skills become relevant in all spheres of their lives – school, home and even in their careers. Adults have a big role to play in helping the children to take chances, make mistakes and learn from them and above to enjoy the process. It is never too early to raise kidprenuers!

Best Parks in South Florida

Parks and recreation areas are an important addition to any city or state. They are critical elements that help to improve the lives of people in urban settings thereby leading to better health for the residents, improved economic activity and a healthy ecosystem. South Florida is a highly populated area and so the parks are a great place for people to get away from their usual daily activities. It is for this reason that residents of South Florida value and appreciate their parks so much.

 Importance of Parks

  • They create an opportunity for people to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature.
  • They provide a great space for adventure activities.
  • Access to parks motivates area residents to exercise and thereby extend their health benefits. They are believed to be especially important in addressing the obesity crisis in America.
  • They encourage new developments in an area.
  • Parks spur economic development in an area. They help the municipal authorities to generate more revenue, increase the value of the property around that area and attract new residents.
  • Parks create an opportunity for children to have a hands-on-approach in acquiring new knowledge and skills.

Best Parks in South Florida

South Florida has many parks but we have selected the best four parks as listed below:

Spanish River Park

It is one of the most versatile parks with activities for everyone. It is your ideal stop for a walk, swim, bike ride, surfing experience and play. It boasts of having many running and biking trails, some that take you down through tunnels into beaches and other hidden trails that take you to bird-watching sites. The park has gazebos and grill stations where family and friends can enjoy a collaborative cookout. There is a children’s play area that has slides, swings and lots of space for kids to run and play.

Biscayne National Park

The tourist industry named it the ‘Watery Wonderland’ because of its tiny islands, corals and blue water. It is the only park that has over 10,000 years of human history. It creates an opportunity for water sports such as boat riding and snorkeling. If you are looking to connect with nature, you can camp here, go for a game drive or simply enjoy relaxing by the shoreline. If you are fascinated about shipwrecks from time immemorial, the Dante Fascell Visitor center will help address your curiosity.

Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park

It has been recognized as one of the best beaches around. It’s a great place for swimmers with great picnic sites or relaxation points along the beach shores. It is famous for hosting the oldest structure in Miami, a lighthouse that was built in 1825.

Everglades National Park

It is a unique park that stretches across three counties and boasts of being amongst the largest subtropical wildernesses in America. Visitors to this park get to enjoy beautiful historic trails, visiting prehistoric sites and the company of animals such as alligators.

Do not take parks for granted. They are a lifeline to improving the lives of individuals and communities around them. As the population of South Florida grows, it is very important to ensure that the green infrastructure that bestows on them several benefits also grows.

Staycation or Vacation?

Honestly, you need a break! After all that hard work and making that money, you deserve a break. The first and most natural thought when you want to take a break is a vacation to a land far away from your ordinary life. A city that is at least an hour or more’s drive or flight away. However, did you ever consider that taking a staycation would do you better than a vacation? We have compiled some benefits of having a staycation over a vacation, and let you make the decision for yourself.

  1. No packing!

The worst part about getting ready for a vacation is packing everything you need into a decent sized piece of luggage. This includes fitting your shampoos and shower gels into airport appropriate containers. So much stress getting ready to distress, don’t you think? A staycation will not need you to pack anything away since you will be staying put!

  1. A chance to explore your town

So, you have lived and worked in your town for a good number of years, but have you ever really explored all the nooks and crannies of your town? If you are a foodie, a staycation is the perfect opportunity to explore all the restaurants that you have never had time to visit thanks to your tight work schedule. How about all those picnic spots, amusement parks for the kids and basically just enjoying your town without thinking about work?

  1. Save that money

Vacationing included expenses such as flights, hotel boarding and lodging, taxi fares for a new town, car hire fees and just so much spending! When you staycation, you get to stay in your house and eliminate the need to pay for flights or any hotel costs. Furthermore, your food and drinks costs will be lower since you can choose to eat in some nights.

  1. Avoid travel stress

Travelling comes with its fair share of stress. From planning for air tickets, paying for hotel rooms, rushing around in a foreign airport searching for your boarding gate, to lugging around heavy bags and the incidence of lost bags; all these are aspects that you avoid when you staycation. Why stress out in your quest to de-stress?

  1. No need for prior planning

When need to take a vacation, you need to make lots of prior planning to make the most of your vacation days. You cannot afford to leave the days empty and hope for a spontaneous day of fun. However, when you staycation, the need for planning is thrown out the window. You can decide to go out to dinner 10 minutes before dinner. The beauty of spontaneity is best captured on a staycation.

  1. You can include your pet

This should be the number one reason why staycationing beats vacationing any day. Forget about planning for a pet-sitter and then spending your entire vacation worrying about your treasured pet. Skip the travel and enjoy some time at home with that fantastic animal companion of yours.

If these reasons why you should staycation do not work for you, then you probably need just one more vacation before your first staycation.

Labor Day Party Ideas

The Labor Day weekend is fast approaching and you probably have no idea what to do to celebrate. Remember, Labor Day should be all about food, family and fun, not necessarily in that order. If you plan on throwing a Labor Day party, we are all about getting you all the best and fun ideas for your party. Here is a list of our top 5 favorite party ideas for the long Labor Day weekend.

  1. Host a clambake

Nothing screams long Labor Day Weekend than a ton of seafood in the shade of a summer day. All you will need is your backyard and a shallow pit to do your clambake in. Additionally, you should visit the farmers market to get your fresh ingredients before your clambake. Ensure that you get loads of potatoes, clams, lobster, and some fresh seaweed to cover your clambake in. Some fresh corn is also a must for a rocking clambake Labor Day Party!

  1. Throw a pool party

Nothing beats spending the summer in a cooling pool all day, whilst sipping refreshing cocktails and hanging out with friends. A pool party is the ultimate way to end the summer holiday with a bang. And why not add some pizzazz to your pool party by renting any one of our waterslides for a splash like no other!

  1. Have a cook-out

Grilling some fresh corn on the cob, steaks and marinated chicken thighs sounds like the perfect plan for your Labor Day party. Why don’t you get some friends together and get the lads hanging out at the grill while the ladies prep the drinks to go with your grilled feast? A cook-out is a great way to host a Labor Day party as it will allow lots of banter during the food prep and it will carry on into the night as you sit down to enjoy your food and drinks.

  1. Host an outdoor movie night

Going out to the movies sounds like a plan, but why don’t you consider renting a movie and calling over a few friends? Make it a more authentic experience by hiring our food machines such as the Hot Dog Roller and the Popcorn Machine for bottomless snacks during your movie marathon. Furthermore, you can also hire our Snow Cone machine which comes with 60 servings of the cooling treat for a hot summer night.

  1. Dance the night away

Dancing the Labor Day weekend through is such a fun way to consider spending your holiday before the end of summer break. Plan a night of dancing out on the patio and let it spill over into the backyard. Do you know what will make it even more fun? Include one of our giant backyard pool slides to add to the fun. Be sure to have tons of water for hydration and a selection of snacks from our array of food vending machines for hire.

Recipes the Whole Family Will Love

Putting a meal on the table that your family will love every day is no mean feat. In fact, getting your family to ooh and aah over every meal at dinnertime is actually not a simple thing to achieve every day. These recipes that we will share with you are going to get your family taking Instagram-worthy photos of each meal before the first bite. They are easy to prepare, cook and also to clean up after.

  1. Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon and Broccoli

Which child loves broccoli? We thought so. How about bacon? We are sure all the hands went up with this one. This dish takes the spin on your good old macaroni and cheese by incorporating some broccoli and topping it off with lots of crispy bacon. Make your usual pasta following the package instructions. Then add the broccoli in the last few minutes of cooking the pasta to leave it crunchy and fresh. Next, cook a luxurious sauce with the milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and cheese over a low flame until it thickens. Pour this sauce over your pasta and broccoli with a healthy sprinkling of bacon and serve hot.

  1. Home-made meatball subs

Nothing beats a home-made sub loaded with meatballs, pasta sauce, and creamy cheese. This recipe calls for a simple meatball recipe comprised of ground beef, pork, combined with an egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper as well as some milk to bring it all together. All you need to do is knead these ingredients together and let the mixture rest for about half an hour before forming your meatballs and shallow frying them in your choice of cooking oil. Finally, using fresh bread rolls, create your subs by placing the meatballs in the freshly buttered bread and top it off with some pasta sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

  1. Crispy baked chicken tenders crusted with Parmesan

Everybody loves some chicken tenders. How about upping the ante and baking them instead of deep frying them in oil? Furthermore, this dish is made more delectable by the crusting of Parmesan cheese on the outside. Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into long but not too narrow strips. Secondly, create your batter by whisking eggs, Dijon mustard and paprika for a slight kick. In a second shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese for the crunchy coating. Dip each flour-dredged chicken tender into the batter, shaking off the excess and going into the breadcrumbs mixture. Repeat this twice before lining them on a baking sheet and baking them for 5-6 minutes on each side. A fantastic dinner served with a fresh garden salad and Dijon mustard as a dip.

These are just a few of the recipes that are out there that your family will definitely love on any day. Furthermore, for those nights you could just not be bothered to whip up an elaborate meal, you can make these quick yet healthful and tasty fixes. Moreover, the prep time and clean up time for these meals is super quick making it a triple win for family dinner times.

Host A New England Style Clambake

Nothing screams summer like an authentic New England style clambake. A New England Clambake is a tradition that dates back over 100 years and is regularly observed to date during summer. This traditional practice marks the day, hundreds of years ago, when the First European Settlers learned how to cook in a pit, a concept the Native Americans taught them. Today, to be able to host a successful New England Style Clambake, all you need is a sunny and sandy seashore, loads of clams and sausage, corn and potatoes, coal for your grill and a nice grill set-up. Here is how all these play out to helping you host a New England style clambake.

  1. Traditional Style Cooking

Look for a sandy and sunny seashore near you, whose laws permit you to grill in the open near the ocean. Once you have selected a nice spot, you can begin to set your grill up. First and foremost, you have to dig a shallow, oblong hole in the sand. Secondly, line this hole with large stones, on top of which you can then lay your coals. Next comes your wood which you should light and allow to burn for a while, about an hour or two, after which you will rake off the ashes. Lastly, set your grill up on top of some blocks of cinder and ensure that it is stable.

  1.  Loading on the ingredients

A classic New England clambake must comprise of loads of clams, sausage, some corn, and potatoes. Additionally, be sure to have seaweed on which you will pile your ingredients. The trick is to layer the ingredients, with the ones that take longest to cook being placed at the bottom. Naturally, the potatoes or starchy tubers will come first, followed by a layer of seaweed on which you will add the corn, followed by the sausage and finally, the clams.

  1. Cover to cook

After covering the last layer of clams with seaweed, it’s time to throw on a sea-water soaked burlap sack. The cooking will take about an hour, during which all the clams should have opened and the potatoes will have become tender. Remember to pour seawater over the burlap sack as needed during cooking. As you wait to feast on your New England clambake, this would be a good time to enjoy some drink as you frolic on one of our gigantic beach-side water slides.

  1. Serve

Set up your New England Clam Bake on your beach blankets and get ready to enjoy a massive feast whose roots begun over a hundred years ago.

Summertime is a great time to sample and try new ideas such as the New England Clambake as detailed above. Be sure to gather your friends around and try your own clambake, it is such fun and will get you and your friends in on the action. For more fun, contact us to hire any of our mega-sized water slides today. We deal in all types and sizes of waterslides that can be enjoyed by both adults and children.

Keeping Safe In The Summer Heat

During summer, you want to make the most of the summer sun before the chilly fall weather sets in. Summer always seems to rush by, and the colder months drag along. Understandably, this would make you want to stay out longer in the sun, getting that tan in as much as you can before you have to pack the shorts away.

As you enjoy time in the sun, be sure to stay safe in the heat of summer. It is likely that one can get sunstroke, heat stroke or even a nasty sunburn if you do not take the following precautions.

  1. Take lots of fluids

During summer, you are bound to lose more water through perspiration than in the colder months. It is wise to keep a cold drink close by and sip from it often; do not wait until you are thirsty to drink. Furthermore, avoid alcoholic and sugary drinks because they can actually dehydrate you! The best drink to reach for is a cool bottle or glass of water. However, you should avoid very cold drinks as these are known to cause stomach cramps.

  1. Stay indoors

What? Stay indoors during summer? Well, when the temperatures are really high, especially in the early afternoons, you should stay away from the direct sun. By staying indoors, you can choose to take your outdoor fun indoors to a mall for some shopping or a movie theatre to catch the latest blockbuster. A few hours in an air-conditioned area will help your body to stay cooler once you get back outside under the sun.

  1. Your dressing

During summer, choose light-weight, airy fabrics to keep your skin free from any build-up of sweat. Furthermore, you should wear clothes that are loose-fitting and have light colors, not dark colors. It is a widely proven fact that dark colors absorb heat while light colors deflect it away from you. Additionally, you should put on a wide-brimmed hat to protect your head, face, neck, and shoulders from the sun’s glare. Don’t forget to put on some sunscreen with a high UV filter to protect your skin.

  1. Children and pets

Keep children and pets in shady areas away from the direct glare of the sun. Ensure that you apply child-sensitive sun-screen on your children before you step out with them. Furthermore, ensure that they are well hydrated by keeping them on fluids continually. Do not, under any circumstances, leave children or pets in a locked car even for a few minutes, this is very dangerous.

If you observe these tips, you are sure to enjoy your summer without rushing to the ER this year. Another great way to keep safe in the summer heat is renting any one of our waterslides which come with a shaded area to protect you from the sun as you keep cool in the water. We have a wide variety of waterslides that can fit in your backyard for some cooling summer fun. Contact us today and we will be sure to provide you with what you need this summer.
