Ideas for Making Parenting Easier

February 28, 2018 sfbadmin

When it comes to things like rewarding your kids, don’t make the mistake of not satisfying yourself. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs any person will undertake, why not make it as easy as possible? We at South Florida Bounce have some tips to help you do just that with these daily habits steering you in the right direction. Tip 1.) No Yelling. When we make the mistake of yelling at our kids, we think our message will come across more efficiently. However, by speaking methodically and quietly, you become more powerful because your child will hear your communication rather than just the sound of screaming. Tip 2.) Be Grateful for What You Have. Since kids are extremely impressionable, it only makes sense to make a good example. Teaching kids that you’re grateful for what you do have or the little things are invaluable and a must. Don’t forget to include them in your blessings by telling them each day how much you adore them. Tip 3.) Don’t wait until the end of the week to do the laundry. Wash a load a day. It doesn’t cost you any more than when you do it all on the weekend. Save yourself time and money by doing one per day and see how much extra time you just added to your calendar. Tip 4.) Tackle a massive task a day. Whether that means filing your taxes or cleaning the kid’s game room, many necessary evils are lurking. By taking each day and using your time efficiently, you will be more organized and will accomplish more than you can imagine. For instance, purging toys is always a daunting task. But, by not overlooking that task and tackling it before it gets out of control, you’ll be having an easier time. By the way, it always sucks picking up toys before company shows up, is never fun nor easy. Imagine how cool it would be not to have to worry because the deed was already done? Awesome! Tip 5.) Plan a weekly menu and stick to it! As we all know, kids can be picky eaters. But, there’s plenty of benefits to having a list even when your son or daughter wants to have a party. Besides, there’s a lot of time management when you hear the words “I don’t like that” or “Ewww gross, I’m not eating that.” Sit down with your kids and show them recipes and pictures to get a good menu down. By doing following these excellent tips, you’ll save time, money and will make your job as a parent much more comfortable.

The Best Mermaid Birthday Party

February 28, 2018 sfbadmin

Event Bloggers Who Love to Throw a Party in South Florida Event planning has become a huge business. That couldn’t be a more accurate statement when you live in a place such as South Florida. Since the weather is almost always ideal for outdoor planning, there’s parties, bah mitzvahs and a variety of other celebrations where event planning is practically necessary. It seems nearly every weekend; this demographic is booked with making the party a gigantic hit. In this blog, we quote a few of the event bloggers who give you some valuable insight on how they threw some of the best birthday parties around town. Event Blogger April Tan hosts a blog called “Catch My Party” where she gives a plethora of tips on throwing child themed birthdays. Here’s what she had to say about coming up with the concepts, “With mermaids, it’s all about the decorating. I created a visually stimulating fantasy world using pastel colors such as lavender, turquoise, sea foam green, and pink. I also used the color white as my base to keep the aesthetics feeling light and airy. Accents with pearls, starfish, and fish kept the theme from under-going. The kids just loved it when they walked into the backyard and seen lots of pretty decorations”. Next event blogger, Lenzo is more of a one-stop shop for party planning that includes blogs from ghostwriters. Nonetheless, their mission is always to know what the trends are connecting with outside suppliers who want to sell goods. One of the bloggers caught up with us to talk about Glamping Parties for any Diva Troop. “The theme was inspired by the movie “Troop Beverly Hills,” and we focused on keeping the color palette in line with green, different shades of pink and white. This sparked quite a host of fun with the many hues of pink we found. Besides these smashing splashes of color, one very popular kid party favor is the tent. Girls love homemade shelters as much as boys, and they can be easily made. Tents are all the hype and what’s popular at most of the events we see currently. The last blogger we connected with was from Southern Blue Celebrations. The charming writers who create content on this blog have a million grand ideas for you to try. But, we did speak to one of the phantom writers who told us the “Alice in Wonderland” novelty is what everyone is raving about for 2018. “Last year it was Minions, this year it’s Alice. The girls loved the finger sandwiches and tea party lunch along with the mobile we handcrafted pointing the confusing directions. Nonetheless, our girls wanted to have an outdoor party, so we hung decorations from the tree and set up the table to look like a scene from the movie. Also, we asked the parents to dress the girls like Alice or one of the characters which made the photos super cute and timeless”. These event bloggers all have the right idea which is to make a point of being innovative but sticking with the trends to keep the children at ease. We hope these were some helpful tips for you as well for your daughter’s next birthday party. Best of luck!

Health & Fitness Made Fun

February 9, 2018 sfbadmin

Health and fitness are two of the most important things you can teach your children today. With childhood obesity being at the forefront of every child physician’s to-do list for a cure, it makes sense to educate our youth on how to combat such things. With our latest series of blogs, we focus on how you can teach your kids about health and fitness that will have you bouncing for joy! Just about every ‘Mommy Blogger’ in South Florida is reading this post by now saying “Hmmm, maybe I should do that topic too.” Why? Because as responsible parents know, we have to combat our kids with tools they can use while we aren’t there. Kids either like things like sports, or they don’t. Either way, there’s most likely a program that is right for your child that can help them boost metabolism. Find things such as little league organizations and indoor parks that can help your child to become more active. Limit the time spent gaming and get them outdoors to celebrate fresh air, along with strong muscles. Children tend to stay indoors way too much these days. It just makes sense to get them outside where they can enjoy a solid foundation of living well. Some things you can do to get your kidlets off the couch and motivated:

Take the Stairs Whenever You Can
Walk with Your Kid to the Store
Ride Bikes Together
Visit Indoor Gyms & Yoga Events
Look for Recreational Activity that Involves MOVING

Instruct Your Child on How to Select Healthy Foods Your children distinctively know the difference between eating marsh mellows versus yogurt. But, it’s up to you to further their education when it comes to making healthy food choices. Introduce them to colorful veggies. Show them how to tell if something is full of GMO’s or food preservatives and then tell them the truth about such things. The more you expose them to, the easier it will be passing on stuff like sugar and soda. In addition, look for venues where kids can make their selections in a simple way. Even places like fast-food are including apples and other garden veggies to their meals. These tips will help to keep your kids fit as well as in better health. The more they learn at a younger age, the better their chances are avoiding disease like childhood obesity. Hope you found this article enlightening. We’ll see you soon!

Rentals For All Ages

October 16, 2017 sfbadmin

Sometimes, when planning for an event that involves different age groups, it can be quite a challenge identifying activities that will be fun for everyone. The best approach is to find something that appeals to a particular age of people, and then get the one activity that is acceptable and fun for all. This way, no one feels left out and everyone gets to have their own fun. It can be a little frustrating finding all these things in one place. This is mostly because most rentals only stock activities that cater to one or two demographics at a time. At South Florida Bounce & Slide, however, we are as close as you will ever get to a one-stop shop for all your event rentals. We have rentals that cater to all ages and for a variety of activities as well. These include:

Kid’s activities

We understand that activities that appeal to kids will not necessarily appeal to the other people at an event. We have different rentals that cater to kids all the way from toddlers to fourth graders. We have bounce houses and combo units that appeal to this demographic. The Candy Land Toddler bounce house is more popular with the younger children, while older kids will enjoy the Disco Dome Bounce House. The Disco Dome allows them to freely express themselves in tune with the latest music and flashing lights.

Young adults

If your event is centered more towards young adults, you will definitely want to look at our ‘young adults’ catalog of rentals. We have a large variety of activities that would appeal to young adults including water slides, carnival games, obstacle courses, and other more exciting options as well. Activities such as Sumo wrestling in the Sumo Arena, competing in the Xtreme Sports Arena or trying to win something in the carnival games stand will appeal to this demographic.

Adults

Adults are forgotten when planning events that incorporate different age groups. They are mostly left to fend for themselves. At South Florida Bounce, however, we have activities that cater for adult entertainment. They range from the adrenaline-paced games to laid-back options for those who do not wish to break a sweat. Whether they are flying in the bungee trampoline, climbing the 25-foot rock wall or playing a fun game of human hungry hippo, we have you covered. As if that is not enough, we have an action-packed game of total meltdown where you and 7 of your friends can test each other’s agility and reaction times.

Universals

Even as everyone is having fun on their own, there are certain universal activities that everyone can enjoy. These include the Velcro wall which is loads of fun for everyone involved. Other fun all-rounders include the human foosball and the wipe-out, where you and can feel like the contestants on the TV show.

Fun food machines

What is the point of having all this fun if no food is involved? We have different fun food stands including a cotton candy maker and a snow cone machine. Both come with 60 servings although you can add more. We also have popcorn makers and hotdog makers as well. For those who would like to have memories of their event preserved, we have photo booths as well. Book your event rental and give everyone at your event a chance to have a memorable time.

Host a Labor Day BBQ Right!

August 18, 2017 sfbadmin

Ahhh the smell of food grilling and the excitement from the last of the fireworks, you know Labor Day is here once again. If you plan on hosting a barbeque this year, then we’ve got three excellent tips to make your event incredible. From the corn on the stick to a good dessert, South Florida Bounce has the answers to do it up right! First tip: Be Prepared! Since we are knee deep into hurricane season in South Florida, be sure to have a weather app with notifications. Apps such as Accuweather help to keep you alert when there’s rough terrain ahead when it comes to rain or shine. Be sure to plan your party centered around things like the heat index and any other issues that could arise. We Floridians know and plan accordingly with an alternative to taking the fun outdoors. Don’t limit your fun, just be sure to prepare to host indoors if you get washed out. For instance, host a Wii tournament or some other contest that’s suitable for the indoor activity. Next tip: Invite old friends and get re-acquainted. If there’s someone you haven’t had the time to see in a while, then ask them to join. Keeping friendships is important no matter who you are, and a BBQ is the ideal setting for sparking up some memories and conversation. Don’t wait until the other holidays when life’s events can get hectic. Besides, everyone loves a good backyard celebration. Third tip: Include games, swimming, and waterslides. The difference between a good BBQ and a GREAT BBQ, is always the entertainment. In fact, we may be guessing a bit, but not too many people enjoy hearing from their kids “Mom, Dad, I’m bored.” Be sure to keep them occupied with more than the grown-up talk. Having the right mix of activities and people makes all the difference in the world when planning a BBQ. Make the last big party of the summer, one your guests always remember. Don’t be alarmed with back to school plans or anything else. Just grab a tall cold drink, eat some char-broiled grub and stay happy. Afterall, it won’t be long now before you can start planning for the holiday parties. For more information on renting one of our bounce houses and waterslides, call now.

Parenting by Example: Imagination, Creativity, & Relaxation

June 28, 2017 sfbadmin

When children grow up in a world that is full of electronics and other distractions it can be difficult for them to use their imagination. As parents, we need to encourage our kids in thinking outside of their current surroundings to explore other avenues. Let’s face it, without imagination and creativity, the world would be a much grimmer existence. You’re job as the mom or dad is to give your kids the green light to use their imaginations. Here’s how you do just that. First, if you’re a busy parent like most of us, take the time out to explore your own imagination. Meditate, daydream or just lie quietly with eyes closed and erase all day to day stress. Encourage the kids to try this as well. Everyone can benefit from a little quiet time. Allow new thoughts to come in and old ones to move out. Think of nature, taking a ride on your bike or even planting a garden. The point here is to allow your mind to be free enough to get your imagination flowing. Next, set a good example. We are just as guilty of spending too much time on our devices. Kids notice this. Make a rule to take a break from all electronic devices for a period each day. That includes you! Since we spend way too much time looking at Facebook and email, and a plethora of other interrupting activity, it’s hard to come out with a clear mind. By learning to go without, you’ll be gaining within. Other than distractions caused by mobile devices, iPads and the like, try to avoid anything that makes you anxious. Anxiety can cloud your imagination making things impossible to flow gently in and out. You can avoid this type of mind boggle, by putting on some old music or just jotting down what comes to your mind. The trick here is to quiet the anxiousness and fill up your mind with new and interesting thoughts. No room for worry here. Besides letting go of restlessness, take the time to try new things. Whether you explore a new food or a different way to do your hair, the idea here is to just do it! Let your kids see the excitement in you when you try something new. If you don’t like it or fail, laugh it off and show the kids that it’s okay. Embrace these teachable moments. How can you teach your kids to develop creative and adventurous minds if you don’t know how to first? Now that you know the secrets to sparking your own imagination, try these things on your kids.

Unique Gift Ideas for Girls & Boys Birthday Parties 2017

June 20, 2017 sfbadmin

When it comes to your children, there may not be a lot of guessing on the type of gifts they want. Kids tend to be very vocal in letting parents know what they want as their first gift choices. But, for another child, it may be a bit more challenging. We’ve compiled a list of some of the hottest gift ideas for both boys and girls that might give you some grand ideas and look like a complete hero. Girls 4-6 Pull up any Walmart or Target ad and your choices are overwhelming. However, some of the hottest trends you’ll find for girls between the ages of 4-6 is are Shopkins and anything from Disney’s movie “Frozen.” One tip to keep in mind is to contact the parents before purchasing these items since there may be a good chance they’ve already got them. Also, either one of these brands does offer a wide selection with this theme. Any young girl will be dazzled when opening these gifts as they are two of the biggest toys to sell this summer. Girls 8-11 It seems like girls in the age category enjoy crafting. Bead kits can be found on places like Amazon, or your local craft store like Michaels. You really can’t go wrong with this type of gift at this age, as young girls enjoy working with their hands. Girls 12-16 This age group is a bit trickier as this is also the time where gifts become pricey. If you’re looking to get a gift for a girl between 12-16, think about gift cards. Gift cards are always a good selection because the kid can buy what they want. Boys 4-6 Kids between the age of 4-6 are practicing things like hand to eye coordination as well as their motor skills. These children tend to enjoy working with their hands and building things. Lego Blocks, toys with gears or pieces where they must think and make are most enjoyed. Another idea for your consideration is drawing or painting kits. Children of all ages love to be artistic, and at this age, their minds are free to imagine and explore. Art Boxes tend to be great presents for both boys and girls in this age category. Boys 8-11 These little tikes are more advanced than the other the post-toddlers. They enjoy sports, video gaming and a variety of other activities. The key word is ‘active.’ This year we’ve seen many kids wanting Drones and Quadcopters to fly around. Although it’s a great gift, you may want to check with the parents as these toys can sometimes cause a problem. Boys 12-16 This age group presents a little more challenge. But, one item that is flying off the shelves is GeekerCity’s Mini Flying RC Drone. This cool gadget changes colors, and it’s safe to use. The price point is excellent too under $20. While these are just a few of the toys listed for boys and girls, there’s plenty of great ideas you can explore. We hope you find this blog helpful.

The Ideal Pajama Party for Kids

June 20, 2017 sfbadmin

Who can forget the fond memories of your first pajama party? When it comes to being a kid, these are one of the most exciting events you’ll ever remember. As parents, it’s our job to be sure these sleep-over gatherings are safe, fun and memorable. In this blog, we point out how to throw the pajama party of a lifetime that’s also ideal for you. Plan Your Child’s P.J. Party Carefully When it comes to planning your child’s pajama party, plan carefully. Things like snacks, where to sleep and who to invite are part of what makes your son or daughters slumber party a success.

Make a list of what the night will entail such as watching movies, playing games and serving snacks are all a part of the organization for a big success. Designate a Time for Pick-Up and Delivery of Each Guest Everyone in the neighborhood has that one kid who moves in temporarily. While one extra child may not seem all that bad, if 12 kids were hanging out at your house hours after the party is over, you may get a bit cramped. Be sure to facilitate appropriate times for pick up and drop off so you can get on with your life! Think Outside of the Box or Your Child’s Bedroom Sleeping arrangements can be ultra-fun and easy if you think outside of your child’s bedroom. Pitch a tent in the backyard, or on the living room floor, make tepees and use decorative lights to make it more festive, throw sleeping bags on the floor, whatever you do, be sure to make it special. You’ll be much happier as your kid’s room might have a chance at staying clean! Planning any child’s birthday party can be fun and enjoyable when planned properly.
