What kids doesn’t love a playhouse? The problem with the big plastic or wood playhouses is either you put them outside and can’t use them in bad weather or you put them inside and have them take up a lot of space.
The Click n’ Play Knight Castle Play Tent is up and ready in about 10 minutes, when the kids are done collapse it and put it in this carrying case. Stick it in a closet, under the bud, or in a toy chest until the next time they’re ready to play. My 2.5 year old daughter and 6 yr old son are having a blast with this. It’s perfect size for her.
My 6 year old son is about 4 foot tall. You can see from the picture he’s just as tall as the tent, maybe an inch taller. He can’t stand up in the tent but he was able to crawl in and sit in the tent comfortably. They actually wanted to eat their lunch in the tent together so I let them.
The diameter of the tent is 40 inches. This is not a huge tent so it’s a better choice if you don’t have a lot of space. I loved watching my kids play and pretend using this tent. A great piece for imaginative play.
The set up…the set up…If I’m to be honest I thought it would just pop right up when I pulled it out of the carrying case. This is not the case. There are about 5 tent poles that you position inside. There are braided nylon pockets that the bottom of the poles sit in, then there is a velcro strap you loop around the poles where the walls meet the roof inside. Then you tuck the top of the poles into little pockets that meet at the point of the roof. The good news is that the pieces are have three segments that are connected internally by a string so you can take it apart to bend and move where you need but you won’t lose any of the segments.
Poles meeting at the point of the roofPoles velcro in place inside
Now this is not the most rugged of tents. It was awesome for some indoor play time. It would not be a tent you’d want to sleep outside in the back yard with. Also my 2 year old undid the velcro a couple times so a pole pole would come away from the wall a couple times but it’s a quick easy fix. Even my 6 year old could do it.
It’s only $19.99 on Amazon and free shipping if you have Amazon Prime . For $20 I’d say if you’re thinking about it, go for it. My kids have been having a blast with it.

I’ve been a fan of sleep sacks for years now. Ever since I learned about about how much safer using something like a sleep sack is for baby rather than using a blanket, it’s been my go-to way to keep my babies warm at night and during naps. Even my older kids say “why don’t they make them for us!” lol.
When Merino Kids asked me to try out one of their sleep sacks I was happy too. If I’m to be honest I never heard the brand before and was interested to see what they had to offer. The first benefits of a Merino Kids sleep sack, that I noticed, is it’s 100% organic and GOTS certified cotton. Yep, NO pesticides or chemicals used to make these sleep sacks. They are an international award winning textile company from New Zealand. It was started by a mom who was tired of seeing synthetic materials that are all over the market.
When it arrived in the mail in was packaged in a very nice see-through cotton sack. I chose the Mulberry design for ages 2-4 years old since my daughter is 2 1/2.
The organic cotton material is sooo soft. I wanted to climb in it myself but, alas, I’m too big for it. It’s made thicker then other sleep sack brands I’ve tried. Being that my daughter is only 2.5 years old there is still plenty of room to grow. We’ll be able to use this sleep sack for a few years. That’s another benefits to the Merino Kids brand sleep sacks. Yea they’re pricier but you’ll be able to use it for 2 year or more depending on how fast your child grows.
Since she was on the younger end of the product size I was concerned it would be too loose for her and she’d be able to slip right out. It actually fits very nice in the top part and has plenty of room by her feet to grow and more around in it.
Another feature of the Merino Kids USA sleep sack is that there is a built in area for seat belts. If they fall asleep and you need to get them into their car seat, no worries. You don’t have to take the sleep sack off and wake your little one. You can still use the car seat belts with this on.
The quality of this sleep sack is some of the best I’ve personally seen. I’ve put it through the wash a few times and it still looks like new.
You can find Merino Kids sleep sack on their website: MerinoKidsUSA.com (definitely check out all the 100% organic product they offer) and Merino Kids on Amazon

As a family of 6, it can be quite expensive to go on a real vacation. We only go on vacation once every 2 years. We didn’t go this year so next year should be our vacation year. We only go domestic, usually do a beach on the east coast, and we drive but it’s still not cheap. To fit our whole family comfortably we usually have to get a 2 or 3 bedroom condo or suite. We prefer to stay at an ocean front resort that has amenities so we have easy access to the beach. Then the resorts usually have extra things like swimming pools, restaurant, resort events, etc.
Last year we went to Ocean City and stayed at the Princess Royale. They had movies on the beach, an indoor swimming pool, outdoor hot tubs, a sauna, a gym, restaurant, gift shop, and we got an ocean front 3 bedroom room. That set us back $1500 just for the room for 4 days. One thing in the back of my head when you think of the southern east coast in August is the possibility of hurricanes or some other issue coming up. That’s why I consider travel insurance with our vacations. I hate to be the pessimist but what happens if we invest all this money, something happens and we’re out all that money?
Allianz Travel Insurance offers peace of mind when booking your vacations. They are the leading travel insurance company offering financial protection and 24/7 travel assistance. Allianz Travel Insurance has conducted a Vacation Confidence Index Survey every years since 2009. What they found is that more Americans will travel but plan to spend less on their 2015 trips.
They can help with things like emergency assistance in a number of areas both travel and medical, helping you recoup some or all of your money depending on your policy and more.
There’s also Concierge service for help with things like event tickets, gift arrangement, restaurant reservations, and more. There are so many more benefits that I could make this post go on for a long time but I think you get the idea.
