Bounce Houses - Make Your Child Scream with Delight

My holiday shopping continues at SportsAuthority.com and I’m thinking about what will make a child scream with delight. My daughter loves jumping and sliding around in bounce houses at parties and other kid events.

She comes home exhilarated by the fun and exhausted by the endless exercise of running around, jumping and just being a kid at heart. So imagine how much fun a child could have with a bounce house and inflatable slide of their very own in their backyard with their little friends and cousins.

And when no one is looking, I will be tempted to do a few jumps and slides myself because I didn’t have these kinds of “sports” toys when I was growing up. But it is never to late to be a kid at heart and I can justify the expense by categorizing it as “exercise equipment” in my personal budget since I plan to exercise myself.

Tips to “tip-off” the NBA season

I love NBA basketball. It is one of the sports I watch where I actually recognize some of the star players by face and name (because my husband makes me watch games with him at home). And whether you are watching at home on TV, at a local sports bar, live courtside, or in the nosebleed rafters, the game is more fun if you get into the spirit, pick a team to root for, and purchase your team’s jerseys from NBAstore.com during the 24 hour free shipping sale on Oct. 24.

Whenever I go to a game, one of my goals is to get on the jumbotron TV screen either with a cute dancing baby wearing a kids jersey or on the “kiss-me” cam with me wearing my favorite team’s logo on stylish clothing from the “NBA for her” collection. I haven’t succeeded to get on the jumbotron TV so far, but I’m always dressed in NBA wear just in case the camera pans over to me or my daughter for that magic 15 seconds of fame in the basketball arena.

And don’t forget to buy matching jerseys for the man in your life – guys never have enough sports jerseys or sporting goods of their favorite teams and players, so you can’t go wrong with this gift. Just think how happy he will be with a KB24 or Kevin Garnett 5 Celtics jersey rather than the flowers you sent him for his last birthday! Get free shipping sale at NBAStore.

Great Gift Ideas

As I think about holiday gifts for my daughter, nieces and nephews, I want them to enjoy some of the “classic” outdoor equipment and games that I remember from my childhood rather than a “shoot-them-up” video games popular today.

I enjoyed endless summer vacation hours and weekends on my rickety old swingset and home-made teeter-totter in our backyard playing make believe games pretending to be on a boat, in a spaceship and other adventures.

But today’s lucky children can enjoy updated swingsets and teeter-totters from SportsAuthority.com which are significantly better than what I had growing up, but still ring true to the classic fun that stimulates the imagination and promotes exercise.

I want my daughter to have a well rounded childhood including a certain competency in all sports so that she is self confident. I don’t expect her to be the next Maria Sharapova, but I would like her to be comfortable playing feminine sports such as tennis, volley ball, soccer, softball, basketball and other sports which she will inevitably be asked to participate in as a child.

So what is a not-so-athletic mom to do? Join in the fun! Since I never learned how to play sports as a child, I shied away from participation. But now as my daughter takes an interest in different sports, I’m going to find outfits from SportsAuthority.com that match with her kid’s clothes so that we can coordinate our outfits when we take basic lessons together. Since our playing level and experience will be about the same, we can be “tennis buddies” as we learn how to volley the ball back and forth.

And since shopping is my favorite past-time, I’m sure to find affordable, quality athletic equipment and clothing from SportsAuthority.com.
