Living in Saskatchewan, my boys and I are forced to spend a fair amount of time indoors when winter weather arrives. So we spend as much time as possible outside in the beautiful summer months. The fresh air and sunshine are such a treat, but on the hottest days, being out of the direct sun is a good idea. So how do I ensure my boys can have a solid day of outdoor play without having to retreat indoors? With the Coleman Youth InstaClip Screen House!
This handy youth-sized shelter provides a shaded place for kids to play. I love the screen walls of the shelter since it means the boys can stay outside at dusk without dealing with swarms of mosquitoes. And with a five-foot height, both boys can play inside the screen house without having to bend or stoop! [Read more…]
We head out camping every summer and to make our experience more luxurious this year, Coleman sent us the fabulous new Coleman Instant Tent 8. Remember those days of juggling tent poles, forcing them through the tent’s fabric and desperately trying to get the rain cover fitted on properly…all just so you could sleep crushed together on the hard ground? Those days are no more with this fantastic eight-person tent! 
I was lucky enough to receive a few fun and useful Coleman Canada products for our recent trip and I couldn’t wait to try them out. I received a Coleman 4-in-1 Mini Quad Lantern with Marker and a Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe to review. The lake we were visiting for our vacation had an absolutely gorgeous long sandy beach, so I was especially excited to see how the Puddle Jumper worked for Zackary.
Everyone in the family loved the convenience of the lantern, but the feature that we all loved best was the fact that we could put the included snap-on coloured lenses over the lights to create a fun rainbow-hued light for our campsite! The red, green, blue and yellow lenses snapped over the front of the individual lights quickly and easily and when we wanted proper lighting instead of just fun ambiance, the lenses stored conveniently in the screw-off bottom of the lantern.
