Stay Hydrated while running or walking

Lately I have been seeing a lot of people walking and running with what looks like a fanny pack with water bottles attached, at first I thought they were weights, but later found out they were hydration belts.

Great idea for the avid walker or runner, even a hiker might find this useful. What I didn't like was how small this was. This barely fits my 12 year old who isn't fat at all, and fits my 7 year old fine but she is small for her age, so like I said in the video on my Youtube page which you can find here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH7Dl5mhV5I, I hope these companies start making products for the average to obese person to encourage them to get out and be active.

This is great for both runner, hikers, walkers, sports, or even if you are out traveling so you have your water and money near by. The pouch is super roomy enough for your money, cell phone, and ID with a little extra left over.

You can find the Amsana running hydration belt on Amazon.

Agility is key to sports

When I first recieved this I thought it was a emergency ladder, but quickly figured out it was a agility ladder, which is used to help accelerate speed, accuracy, and change of direction. Great for children who are playing sports, athletes wanting to improve their performance.

My girls are going to be doing this on their off days from sports for the year to keep them active during the winter so they are ready for the next sport on their list.

Kind of reminds me of the tires you had to run through growing up in school.

Keeps your water cool all day long

Water bottles are a big thing in our family, they are used for road trips, hiking, biking, sports, and when ever we know we will be waiting somewhere for a while, as in picking up the kids from their extracurricular activities. 

With that being said I want to make sure my families water stays cool all day long. Believe me finding a water bottle that can accomplish this is harder then you woud think. 

Futurepace Tech is one of the few bottles that we own that can live up to the claim of keeping your beverage cool. 

Think a hot car thats gets over a 100 degrees in the summer and when you get in after a day at the mall your drink is still cool and refreshing. That is my kind of bottle. 

I do wish that they had made a bigger opening so I could put ice inside as well, but the bottle still works without ice so it passes the test. I haven't put it to the test of keeping hot liquids hot but winter is coming which means hot cocoa season so it won't be long till I can give it the full test. 

You can purchase Futurepace Tech Water Bottle here.

Clever Yoga Video Review

ode=TOP32ec6877cca939596b05ed847a6af048" rel="nofollow">

Yoga Towel with Lifetime guarantee

Personally I have done Yoga on and off most of my life. I am new to using Yoga towels but what a difference it can make. Instead of slipping on the sweat that drips from my body the towel will soak it all up and after I am all done I can wipe the rest of before hopping in the shower to refresh myself.

Dries quickly and absorbs a lot of water. One of my favorite extras is that is comes with a free hand towel which is awesome for wiping your neck and fore head off with between moves. The best part is the Lifetime Guarantee, yes lifetime if it wears out rips, you just let them know and they will let you know how to get it replaced. Awesome if you ask me.

Portable 30 Watt Bullhorn/Megaphone with Siren

Being a mom for some years now I can't tell you how excited I was to be able to have this. Years of cheering in the stands has left my voice tired, now I can cheer for our favorite teams with a touch of a button without having to yell. 

All you have to do is put in 4 D batteries which are NOT included, and you are on your way to fun. I also use this for calling the kids to dinner when they are outside playing. 

Great for teachers, coaches, and to use at events. Easy to use and works great. I love that the handle folds for storage and that there is a wrist strap.

MarksvilleandMe is getting ready for soccer season, matter of fact practices have already started but my daughter won't be starting till this Thursday due to other family engagements.

Soccer cleats, shin guards, bags, foot odor sprays, soccer balls, and of course these wonderful cones are ready for the season. At home we like to use the orange cones for drills, force kick, passing, dribbling, goalie kicks, etc.

These Cones can also be used for other outdoor games and even for helping our 18 year old learn how to park. Think relay races, or even for use in the house to let others know that the floor is wet.

You can purchase the set of 12 bright orange7" Sport training Cones on Amazon.

Perfect towel for traveling

Very impressive product. A microfiber towel that measures 24" by 47" and comes neatly folded in a big that measure 6 1/2 inches by 7 1/2 inches. Yes it folds that small. The towel also has a loop that you can hang your towel by to dry between uses. 

I wash mine in cold water and hang to dry. This is the perfect towel to pack to go to the gym, on vacation, to the beach, or even to a water park. No more big towels to tote around and it dries your body quickly and thoroughly. My favorite part is that is dries quickly so for places like the beach or pool it is perfect.

Running Belt

Personally I am not a runner, never have been, never will be. It is just one sport I am not to take part in due to my kidney problems. My children however do not have kidney problems so I have always encouraged them to do the one thing I can not do and that is to run.

So far all of my children have been in youth and school sports, as well as staying active outside of school. I don't think they understand how proud I am of their accomplishments. With my children being active I try to make sure they have the right equipment for their different sport endeavors.

The DAODAO running belt is a nice accessory to have to hold your music player/ phone, as well as money or any other small items you might need for your run, like bandaids. I really like that this was adjustable for my growing 12 year old. She will be able to use this for years to come and it will adjust to her size.

This belt also is reflective to help with motorists being able to see her if she runs at night. This isn't something she does yet but her older sister who is 21 does run at night and this would also be a great item for her.

Even if you do not run this is a great belt for walking around a theme park, county fair, garage sales, etc.

You can purchase this running belt on Amazon.

• 1. Size: The bigger compartment inner space rough size: 7.87" * 3.34", the small compartment inner space rough size: 5.11" *2.75".
  
  2. Grey Reflective Stripes: The belt includes reflective tabs for high visibility so that you can running safely at night. The in front of the bag includes a waterproof earphone jack for your earphones to slide easily through.
  
  3. Material: The main body of the Running Belt consists of lightweight neoprene. This kind of material is Anti-wear, Anti-deformation, Anti-dust, Anti-static. The waterproof neoprene material keeps your belongings dry. The addition of the mesh fabric allows for a breathable, yet waterproof material. Easily washable and quickly drying.
  
  4. Outfitted with two zippered compartments that will fit your money, keys, credit cards, passport, smartphone and other valuables. Two mesh pockets in the bigger compartment will help you separate different currencies or credit cards. And the part of Zippers is waterproof.
