Kids Bowl Free= Free Bowling All Summer Long= I'm Sorry, WHAT?

You guys. YOU GUYS.

In honor of the first day of summer, I'm doing [awkward] backflips to tell you about this simply unreal summer event.

It's called Kids Bowl Free, and I'm fairly certain you're gonna find a participating bowling center in or near your town. (Yes, even you, darling Canadians.) Ready for this? Once you sign up- for free- your kid gets to bowl twice a day, all summer long. For free. There is, quite literally, no catch.

It is insane. It is wonderful. It is free bowling all summer long for your children.

Kids Bowl Free is an awesome program designed by bowling centers and community groups to provide safe (and fun) places for kiddos to be all summer long. Also- for my friends who are educators/parents/folks who value intelligent American students- Kids Bowl Free is sponsoring a 100k classroom supplies grant program. In case you needed another reason to think these people are terrific. Check out their feature on NBC Nightly News.

Personally, I can't wait to take the girls bowling. Zuzu is already showing mad athletic ability, and Nora happens to be ridonkulously competitive. I've already signed them up, so it's a recipe for awesome. (All summer long.)

Seriously, pals, go register your kids and receive your free emailed vouchers. It's really that easy. And hey, want to join them? I happen to be giving away a family four-pass of bowling vouchers good in the U.S. and Canada. Tell your nieces and nephews and neighbors and friends and people you don't even like that much because hey, this is a really good deal and it's open to everyone.

Want to win 'em? Enter via the totally-non-scary Rafflecopter below and it'll pick the winner by next Friday. Either way, make sure to get your kids' free bowling passes ASAP. Because we all win.

Especially me. Who gets to introduce yet another type of cute footwear to her children.

While I was provided a family pass for writing this review, I wasn't compensated in any other way, shape, or form. So you can rest assured that my barely-contained glee and opinions are my own.

Happy First Day Of Summer (Eve). (Observed.)

Summer is practically- finally- beating down our [screen] door. And what better way to celebrate than with the girls' best friend- and favorite neighbor gal!

One of us is veeery thrilled to be sitting with the Big Girls.

Tell us another one, Em.

I swear I did not pose this.

It's not summer until you visit the ice cream truck and the fish pond in the same trip.

Sittin' on the stoop, housing some soft serve.

And I just added this pic of Zuzu 'cause I want to eat her face- ice cream-covered or not.

Happy Just-About Summer, everyone!

May it be filled with besties, ice cream trucks, and unabashed food stains.

Especially that last one.

We Don't Wear This Shirt For Just Anybody.

The Flynn Girls wish their Pop all the awesome in the world as he awaits his results:

(Thanks to Kate for thinkin' up this whole idea, Emily and myself for taking it to the Cover Girl level, and Rachel for being the only one posing like she has an actual mustache. Okay maybe my nephew Garrett- pictured with belly mustache- posed with one, too.)

(P.S. Can you see how my little Roo has started to show him/herself? Yeah, this was taken close to a month ago. I AM LARGER.)

Rock out, Pop. We love you. 

Obviously.

ProudOn TV And The Cutest Videos In The World. (Yours, Obviously.)

This is a sponsored post on behalf of ProudOnTV. Opinions (and adorbs Nora vids) are my own.

As a ton of you may already know, your "private" videos on Facebook aren't very private at all; all it takes is one share from someone in your own network to spread that video far and wide. And uh, unless you make a living broadcasting your kids' every taste preference and hilariously mispronounced phrase- ahem- you probably don't want your kiddo's bathtime vid (meant for Grandma and your first cousins) to be viewed by total strangers.

That's where ProudOn TV comes in: a free, simply laid-out website for sharing videos. And the best part? It's as private or public as you'd like it to be. The default settings for each ProudOn TV website is set to be extremely private, meaning the only viewers allowed are those whom you personally invite via Facebook or email with individual codes. And by private, they mean private- no tracking or cookies are employed, and they'll nevereverever broadcast your personal info. (Hey, bloggers/entrepreneurs/people who dig being on camera- ProudOn TV websites can be customized for businesses, too, or as an extension of a blog! For instance, check this awesome gal's site out.)

The most important part of any website set-up is the picture of one's shoes as the background. Obvie.

I dug setting up my page with pix, videos, and color schemes. (And I'm not kidding about the "simply laid-out" thing, either. One of ProudOn TV's slogans is Grandma Tested, Kid Approved. Brilliance.) And I gotta tell you, it's rather cool to see my videos lined up all purty-like. Kind of an OCD lady's dream.

How would you feel about starting one of these awesome websites for yourself (or your extended family or for reunions or for besties with the cutest kiddos ever or to showcase your terrific vlogs or or or...)? And in case you're completely iPhone-addicted (*cough*), there's also an app for that. Check that out.

ProudOn TV is super easy to use and has a fully customizable design to suit everyone’s tastes, which provides a fun and sentimental experience for all involved. Fun, easy, and free to start: go here to learn more, open your personal account right about here, and use this rad code (FAMILYWEB14) for my readers to get a $60 credit (for future storage, for upgrades, sky's the limit)!

Signing up today using this special code automatically gets you $60.00 in credit on your ProudOn TV account, which may be used towards a future increase in data storage or an extended traffic plan.
