#UFCGymPerimeter Now Offering Kids Classes!

It's no secret that my boys are active. They love to run and play and wrestle. Constant movement. Needless to say, I try to keep us busy. Between baseball and parks and errands, we are always looking for some fun and excercise is always an added bonus.

This week, the boys got to try out a new kids gym class. UFC Gym Perimeter is a new addition to the Atlanta area and has something for every member of the family. The gym recently started a kids program with classes every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. Taught by a staff of rockstar, attentive professionals, UFC Gym kids classes help your little one learn self-confidence, coordination,discipline and self-defense. Plus, it's fun!

The boys tried out the kids class and they had an absolute blast! At UFC Gym, boys and girls learn self-defense, self-confidence and discipline while having fun in a safe and entertaining group class format. It's also a great way for them to burn energy and have fun! The instructors were fun and energetic and kept the kids entertained through the warms up, lesson, and cool down that is included in every class. They got to do some fun races and spend some time in "the ring" learning some new moves.



Of course they dont only offer kids classes. UFC Gym Perimeter features boxing, kickboxing, and MMA classes;private and advanced training; and kids classes; offering something for every member of the family.

Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is Now Open!

Its no secret that Summer in Atlanta gets hot. Hot and sticky with very few breezes. Of course that means we are always looking for ways to cool off and relax. A way to make the Summer a little less brutal.

This year, one of Atlanta's favorite places to hang out and have some thrilling family fun is also the newest place to have some water fun! Six Flags Over Georgia opened its Hurricane Harbor attraction this Summer! With over 7 new acres dedicated to Hurricane Harbor it is sure to have something for everyone.

For starters, Calypso Bay is a 38,000 square, zero entry wave pool second to none. Stay at the entry and enjoy the waves gently lapping at your toes or brave the true surfside experience closer in. The boys had a blast splashing and jumping in the waves that were just their size around the middle of the pool. They even provide the life vests for the less aggressive swimmers and tubes for lazy floating.

Then there are the two new water slides for those that crave a little more of an adrenaline rush! Tsunami Surge is the worlds first zero gravity hybrid slide, which drop kicks you down five stories, swirls you around, and gives you that weightless feeling that is both terrifying and fun at the same time. Then there are the Bonzai Pipelines with 180 and 360 degrees turns which you can ride solo or with a friend.

For the smaller ones in your life, be sure to check out the Paradise Island attraction. With slides for everyone from the most adventerous tots to the slightly more cautious, this is a structure with a whole of opportunity. Rope ladders, spray guns, and huge water buckets dumping galore, my boys had a blast exploring all the different levels and slides.

My biggest tip for those going with kids would be to invest in some water shoes. The concrete gets hot between the attractions and running around on it all day can leave sore tootsies! I would also plan on renting a locker to store your dry clothes, cell phones, etc so you arent worrying about them while enjoying the fun. I was pleased to find they were generously sized!

If you are planning a trip to Six Flags over Georgia this year, definitely be sure to make time for some water adventure at Hurricane Harbor. It definitely adds to the experience and gives you the chance to cool off and relax between roller coasters!

Mosaic Photo Book App: Quick, Inexpensive Photo Memories

When was the last time you took an actual camera with you every where you went? I know for me, its been years. Most of the moments I have captured, have been with a cell phone camera. Ever since I got my first smartphone, where I could easily share pictures with a couple of buttons, I haven't taken the big camera out near as much.

Problem is, I also don't get most cell phone pictures printed and organized into books or frames any more either. One look at the pictures in my hall way and you will see that its been a minute.

Then, I got an email from the people at Mixbook last week offering to let me review their new app Mosaic. Mosaic is an iPhone and Android app that allows users to effortlessly create a 20-page photo book in 5 minutes for only $20, and delivered to your doorstep in 4 days. It uses the
called
photos on your phone and prints them with insanely good quality in a 7" square book. It sounded too good to be true.

I downloaded the app and was surprised at how quick and easy it was to create my photo book. All I did was pick the photos I wanted to use, chose if I wanted a black or white background on the pages, and then complete the order! It seriously took less time than it would have to print the pictures at the store.

Once ordered, my photo book was on my doorstep in exactly 4 days. I opened it up and was immediately pleased. They take the time to properly box and protect your photo book. Like a ready to give gift. The quality of the images was surprising to me too. I used all Instagram photos but you can use regular shots too.

If you are looking for an easy way to create a memory of a special occasion or a quick, cheap gift for the grandparents, Mosaic is definitely the way to go.

To download the Android or iPhone app, check the app store on your phone or just go to the Mosaic website and they will connect you with the right place.
