If you have kids you know how hard it can be to get them to do anything education related in the summertime. I am always looking for ways to incorporate fun and learning and it's not an easy task!

It's Day 12 of our Fun in the Sun summer blog party and I'm pretty sure that I may have saved the best (at least the funnest) for last! I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who entered the giveaways! I hope that everyone has a safe and so very happy 4th of July!
Now my children all have scooters and bicycles and while they love to ride them they also can get BORING (or so they say). I'm always looking for fun and exciting new outdoor toys that they can ride on and when I came across the Skitter I knew that I had found the baddest (in only the best way of course), most coolest mode of summertime transportation there is!
Skitter Toys (makers of the Skitter) is an American company based in Southern California. The Skitter is a very unique ride on toy that will chase away every ounce of boredom your kids may have this summer! The Skitter is for everyone aged 2 to adult and trust me you'll have as much fun as your kids with this one!

We received a red Skitter to review and let me just say that this toy has single-handedly entertained all of my children almost every single day! Of course my oldest daughter's love the Skitter and would ride it all day if I let them but my son (who is 23 months old) loves the Skitter as well, he sits on it and pushes himself around the house and loves every single minute of it. My youngest daughter (she's almost 8 months) loves to sit on her sisters' lap and cruise around the house as well. This is a product that you must check out! And while you're checking out the Skitter make sure you check out Three Peas Co, boutique the absolute coolest place for urban chic apparel and accessories...seriously this stuff is adorable!
Check out the videos below of two of my girlies riding their Skitter...and a little shameless self promotion of my blog too!
Buy it!!! The Skitter can be purchased online at SkitterToys.com!
Now here's the cool part! The crazy awesome people at Skitter Toys are offering one of my Misadventurous readers a Skitter of their own! How totally cool is that!!?!!

Today's giveaway is for the Trendy Tadpole the coolest, hippest place to get the cutest t-shirts you've ever seen! Here is the original review I did for them.

When it comes to clothing I do not always dress how you would expect a mom of four to dress. I love fun, funky clothes that make me smile. When it comes to the clothing I dress my children in I tend to go for the same fun, fresh styles that I choose for myself.
When I found the Trendy Tadpole I fell in love with their t-shirt designs. The Trendy Tadpole offers hip, funny onesies and t-shirts for only the trendiest of tots! Their designs range from funny to seriously charming so you are guaranteed to find something to fit every personality! They have so many cute designs that you'll have a hard time choosing just one. You can also choose which style and color of shirt with most deigns.



My son received the "King of the Playground" t-shirt to review and I must say that he definitely had a edge on the competition with his adorable shirt! The t-shirt was so soft and very well made and the design on the front was done exceptionally! The first time he wore his shirt was on a visit to the gorcery store and I can't even count how many times people came up to me and commented on how adorable his shirt was and asked where I got it from!

Buy it!!! You can purchase all of the adorable styles pictured above and many more at TrendyTadpole.com
Now the ultra hip people at Tendy Tadpole are offering one of my fabulous readers an awesome shirt of their own...can you say "That rocks!" One winner will receive any 1 shirt from the Trendy Tadpole website!
Win it!!! To be entered into this giveaway all you have to do is head over to Trendy Tadpole, look around, come back here and tell me which t-shirt design you would choose if you won...it's that easy! This is mandatory and must be completed before any extra entries count!!!

My son lives to play outside, every morning when he wakes up he walks to the gate by the front door and says, "Outside Mommy!" Since summertime here in Ohio is nothing if not scorching I always worry that my kids will get too hot while they play outside. Finding toys that are fun and will keep my babies cool on a sweltering summer day is a must for me.
I have always been a big fan of Step 2 and their great children's products, they are one of my go to brands. The Step 2 family of products offer affordability, great craftsmanship, and loads of fun. The Step 2 product that my family received to review was the Arctic Splash Water Table and let me just say that my son was thrilled when it arrived at our house and even more thrilled when we put it together and filled it with water for the first time. The Arctic Splash water table was very easy to put together my fiance spent maybe 5 minutes total putting the water table together. Some of the features of the Arctic Splash water table include:

- Multi-level water wells.
- Raised design which keeps your kiddos feet dry.
- Includes an ice castle, ice slide, tunnel, and dumping bucket.
- Very cute animal squirt toys (a penguin, a walrus, and a polar bear).

To find the Arctic Splash Water Table and lots of other great outdoor toys visit Step2.com!

Now on to the review!
The one thing I dislike about summer is having to buy sandals for my son, he's almost two and while he's usually pretty good at wearing tennis shoes he hates sandals. Last summer it was a battle lost trying to get him to wear flip flops and sandals were not too much easier to pull off. Needless to say I am always trying to find cute new sandals that he will actually wear, which is not an easy feat.
I've seen several reviews for See Kai Run on other blogs and I always wondered what all of the buzz was about, so when I decided to do the Fun in the Sun blog party I knew that I wanted See Kai Run to be part of the festivities since they have some of the cutest sandals ever. Here's the low down on See Kai Run. See Kai Run was born from one moms need for comfortable shoes for her son. See Kai Run and Smaller shoes offer comfortable, flexible, and hip shoes for babies and older children. All of the shoes take a classic design and give them a modern, fun, and funky edge that leave other brands in the dust! There are so many unique and fun designs that you'll have a hard time choosing just one style!


Buy it!!! You can purchase See Kai Run and Smaller shoes online at SeeKaiRun.com and at boutiques and retailers nationwide.
Now the great people at See Kai Run have offered a pair of shoes in their choice of style (from the See Kai Run or Smaller lines) to one of my readers...you know you like that!
Win it!!!
1. To be entered into this giveaway please visit See Kai Run and look around, come back here and leave me a comment telling me which style of shoe you would choose if you won. This is mandatory and must be completed before any extra entries count!

Today's giveaway is for the tweens and teens! My oldest daughter is closer than I'm comfortable with to becoming a teenager and the number one issue we seem to get into the most arguments about is her personal hygiene. It's not that she doesn't want to take a shower or any of that, it's that she doesn't always wash her hair as well as I would like which usually means greasy, dirty looking hair that doesn't smell too nice! The most frustrating part is that there are no hair care products for tweens in my local store which means she is using my shampoo or baby shampoo and neither are designed for her specific hair care needs.
About a month ago I found out about Totally Texty shampoo and conditioner which is made specially for teens and tweens. When I had the opportunity to review both the girls and boys version

We received both the YTMN shampoo and the DDG shampoo and conditioner to review. Of course my daughter got very excited when she saw the shampoo and conditioner (yes she got excited about shampoo) because she knew that it was something made just for her! I have to admit that I was skeptical about how well the shampoo and conditioner would actually work but as soon as she finished blow drying her hair after her shower I knew that my reservations were unfounded...Totally Texty worked great! Taylor's hair was soft and manageable and not at all greasy looking, which I was absolutely thrilled about! And while the YTMN shampoo is for my step-son I use it on Gaige (who is almost 2) every night he comes out with great smelling hair that is soft and looks great! My favorite thing about Totally Texty is the fact that it makes the kids hair smell great!
Buy it!!! You can purchase all of the Totally Texty Products online at TotallyTexty.com.
Now with summer in full swing and smelly hair in it's prime how would you like to try out some of the Totally Texty products? The amazing ladies at Totally Texty are giving one of my readers their choice of either the YTMN (boys shampoo) or the DDG (girls shampoo and conditioner)! Can you say heck yeah!
Win it!!!
1. To be entered into this giveaway just go over to Totally Texty and come back here and tell me something you learned about the company or the products! This entry is mandatory and must be completed before any extra entries count!

Today's giveaway is for all of you hairy dads out there...lol! My fiance is hands down the hairiest man I have ever met. He spends more time shaving than I do! And he is always asking me to help him with the back of his neck which drives me crazy! That's why when I got the chance to review The Swerve I was very quick to accept!

The Swerve is a unique full body groomer that is designed to give you a smooth, clean shave! It's ergonomic design is patent pending and is built to give you the comfort and control to shave in hard to reach areas including the back of your neck and upper body. The Swerve contains a triple-action blade and lubricating strip which glides oh so smoothly over the contours of your body.
I have to admit that my fiance was a little leery of The Swerve when I first showed it to him (he's a typical "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of guy). With a little urging and promises of getting him something really special for Father's Day he tried it...and was impressed at how well it handled and how smooth his skin was after shaving (he should listen to me more often). Of course I would be the biggest liar ever if I told you I didn't try The Swerve as well because you know I did (for whatever reason we just can not resist men's razors). I was also very impressed by how smooth my skin was after shaving and at how effortlessly The S

Since the people at The Swerve are so totally awesome they are giving one Misadventures in Baby Raising reader the chance to try The Swerve! One winner will receive a Triple Pack of The Swerve...I'm jealous!

If the man in your life is like the main man in mine then he loves sports! Every Father's Day I struggle to find my fiance something that is unique, fun, and fits his personality and every Father's Day it gets harder and harder to find the perfect gift. If you have this problem no worries I have the coolest Father's Day gift ever for all of the sports obsessed Dads out there!
When I first heard of the Cooperstown Cookie Company I thought that it was the coolest gift idea ever! But before I tell you how much I love them let me tell you a little bit about them. The Cooperstown Cookie Company hit a home run when they debuted their Classic Baseball Shortbread at the World Series Gala at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in October of 2004. Their cookies have been featured on the Food Network's show Unwrapped as well as being named the "Snack of the Day" on the Rachel Ray show! The company was founded by Pati Grady who is also the president and the original recipe (still in use today) was inspired by Grady's own family recipe. In addition to the Classic Baseball Shortbread the Cooperstown Cookie Company also offers Boys of Summer Lemon Shortbread , and Mudville Mudball Chocolate Chip cookies to tempt your baseball lovers sweet tooth. Aside from their awesome cookies the Cooperstown Cookie Company also works hard to give back to the community! Their products are made in cooperation with Pathfinder Village, which is a residential community for adults and children with Down Syndrome and a place "where each life may find meaning". The Cooperstown Cookie Company also teamed up with the National Baseball Hall of Fame to create a line of baseball gifts called, "Baseball...Anyone Can Play" all of the gifts promote the universal appeal of the game of baseball and all profits from the T-shirts and mugs which feature the amazing artwork of Lonni Sue Johnson benefit Pathfinder Village...I told you this company was awesome!

Now on to my favorite part...the cookies! We received the Celebration Cookie Tower (pictured above) , which is just one of many gift options, emblazoned with our favorite teams logo (Go Reds!). We are huge baseball fans in my house and any excuse we can find to talk about (or in this case eat) baseball we are all over it! First I have to tell you that the cookie tower was so adorable that I almost didn't want to unwrap it...almost! I envisioned sending every Dad I know cookie towers for Father's Day...seriously they are that impressive! The cookies were of course just as impressive as the tower itself, my personal favorite was the Boys of Summer Lemon Shortbread (yummy). The baseball cookies are baked by hand (which is undoubtedly what makes them so great) and the Boys of Summer Lemon and Classic Shortbread varieties are made using all natural ingredients the cookies are also made in the USA just minutes from Cooperstown! If you are looking for a fun, unique, and yummy gift for the man in your
