Glow in the Dark Bowling- I personally have never been much of a bowler. I always feel silly with those funny shoes, and the ball with its dirty holes weirds me out, plus, I always get gutter balls. This, however, this I would do! It’s so pretty and easy! Find instructions for Glow in the Dark Bowling at Baby Gizmo!

Glow in the Dark Water Balloons- One of the best parts about summer is getting wet. One of the other best parts is staying up late and playing in the dark. When you combine the two together, you get these Glow in the Dark Water Ball0ons from Design Dazzle!

Neon Love Note- Smile and Wave used glow sticks to create sweet love notes. I think any child would be thrilled to see a special note for them glowing from a distance!

    When did these annoying popup ads start showing up on your blog? There are too many of them occurring too frequently and blocking content until I delete them. Love the content, hate the popups.

      Deb, can you tell me what kind of device you are using that there are too many popups? Laptop, tablet or phone? We definitely want to take a look at that!
