More about this Slushie Machine:

• 【NO ICE NEEDED】INOVIVA's innovative cooling technology eliminates the need to add any ice, enabling you to effortlessly make a delicious smoothie drink at home. Without the addition of ice, your drink won't be diluted, allowing you to relish your smoothie while still savoring the pure flavor of the beverage.

• 【UPGRADED CAPACITY】The maximum capacity of the new S2.0 model has been upgraded to 88oz, which can serve 8 - 9 people in one batch. Since drinks will expand in volume as they transform from liquid to smoothie, it is recommended that you do not add more liquid than the maximum capacity marked on the scale.

• 【EASY TO CLEAN】Add water and turn on the CLEAN mode to complete the self-cleaning process inside the bucket. The installation and removal process only takes one step, making it convenient for you to conduct a thorough cleaning after use. The package comes with a cleaning brush, so cleaning stubborn stains is no longer a difficult task.

• 【WARM REMINDER】Please note that the added beverages should have a sugar content of not less than 5%. If you want to make alcoholic smoothies, please ensure that the alcohol content is between 2.8% and 16%. Drinks without sugar are not suitable for making smoothies.

Moving with Kids? Here’s How To Make Your Home Kid-Friendly (and Safe)

Moving with kids is hard enough, but now you’ve also got a new home to contend with. This is a new beginning for you and your children. To help them adapt emotionally and keep them safe, you should furnish your home to be kid friendly. From one parent to another, I’ll show you some game-changing hacks that have helped my little ones thrive since our last move.

Rounded Furniture and Safety Edges

You might bring a lot of furniture with you or buy everything fresh. Either way, your children are adapting to a new layout. Rough and sharp corners present hidden hazards for your little explorers.

Round everything out. For existing furniture, you can buy caps and edge guards, or you can permanently modify the furniture. When selecting new pieces during your moving process, look for safe designs with soft or round edges. Walk through your home at your child's eye level to identify potential risks. The goal is to create a space that's kid-friendly and stylish.

Anti-Tip Furniture

Large furniture pieces such as bookcases, dressers, and televisions pose tipping risks for curious and climbing children. Some furniture can be mounted or bracketed to the walls or floors using widely available mounting kits.

When planning your new home layout, prioritize furniture placement that minimizes tipping risks.

• Don’t stack furniture pieces.

• Keep walkways clear.

• Keep unbalanced furniture against the wall.

Locking down the furniture keeps all family members safe, and safety is the cornerstone of a kid-friendly home.

Create a Dedicated Play Zone

But another aspect of safety is giving your kids what they need. Dedicated kids’ areas let your children play and develop—away from your expensive furniture. Look for unused spaces, like under stairs, corner nooks, or spare rooms, that can be transformed into engaging play zones. Use soft rugs or padded flooring to cushion potential falls and prevent injuries during extracurricular activities at your new home.

Kids’ play zones should include:

• Easy-to-access toy storage

• Soft, washable floor coverings

• Good lighting

• Visibility from main living areas

• Proximity to adult supervision spaces

Kid-Friendly Paint and Wall Treatments

Settling into your new home is easier when you know it can take a beating without risking your kids’ health. Choose washable, durable paint that can withstand inevitable crayon masterpieces and messy handprints. Look for interior paints that are:

• Easily cleanable

• Stain-resistant

• Low-VOC (safe for children)

• Available in multiple finishes

Choose semi-gloss or satin finishes for high-traffic areas. These finishes are more durable and easier to wipe clean.

Smart Storage Spaces

More people mean more things that need to be stored. When you’re house hunting, keep an eye out for options that feature built-in shelves and storage. These houses blend aesthetic and function.

When shopping for furniture, try these space-saving, kid-friendly options:

• Under-bed storage containers

• Modular cube organizers

• Ottomans with storage

• Low, accessible baskets

Encourage your children's independence by making storage intuitive and reachable. Rotate toys seasonally to manage clutter and keep play areas fresh and exciting during the school year.

Pool and Water Safety

Pools are one of the most kid-friendly amenities your home can have. But everyone knows that they are a serious child-safety risk. Here are some ways you can prep your pool for the peewees:

• Perimeter fencing with self-closing gates

• Pool alarms

• Locked safety covers

• CPR training for older family members

• Constant adult supervision

Modern pool safety technologies can alert you to unexpected water entry, providing an extra layer of protection during long-term home enjoyment.

Baby Gates and Stair Protection

Stairs represent a significant risk for young children during the moving process. Strategically placed baby gates can prevent dangerous falls and create safe zones within your new home. Consider:

• Pressure-mounted gates for temporary use

• Hardware-mounted gates for permanent installation

• Retractable gates with sleek design

• Gates specific to top and bottom of staircases

Choose gates that blend with your home's aesthetic while providing maximum safety for curious explorers.

Interactive Learning Spaces

Transform areas of your home into engaging educational zones that spark curiosity and creativity. Designate wall spaces for interactive learning, such as:

• Magnetic wall boards

• Chalkboard or whiteboard sections

• Height-measurement growth charts

• Gallery walls for rotating artwork

• Build-in reading nooks with accessible bookshelves

Use vertical space creatively to maximize learning opportunities without cluttering living areas. Include low height shelves and displays that allow children to independently explore and engage with educational materials.

Add Multipurpose Play to Family Spaces

Make shared living areas welcoming for adults and children by creating flexible, adaptable spaces. Use furniture and design elements that encourage family interaction:

• Convertible furniture with hidden storage

• Craft-friendly coffee tables with washable surfaces

• Soft floor cushions for family game nights

• Wall-mounted activity boards

• Designated craft and creativity zones

• Comfortable seating that invites collaborative play

The goal is to create environments that seamlessly blend adult aesthetics with child-friendly functionality so everyone feels comfortable and engaged in shared family spaces.

Outdoor and Indoor Transition Spaces

Design transitional areas that encourage active play and exploration—and keep the dirt outside. Create spaces that bridge indoor and outdoor environments:

• Mudroom with kid-height storage

• Washable, durable flooring near entry points

• Shoe and coat stations at child level

• Indoor/outdoor play zones

• Easy-to-clean surfaces for messy adventures

These transition spaces help manage the chaos of active children while keeping your home organized and functional.

Zip To Zip Made Moving with Family Fun for Everyone

Me and my husband recently navigated a complex family move in New Jersey. I can't overstate the importance of using a professional moving company. They handle all the logistics and heavy lifting, so you have time to plan out your kid-friendly home.

Zip To Zip Moving Company transformed what could have been an overwhelming moving day into a smooth, stress-free experience. Their team didn't just move our belongings—they understood the unique challenges of relocating with children.

What stood out most was their genuine rapport with our kids. The movers were patient, friendly, and made the entire moving process feel like an adventure rather than a stressful transition. If you’re planning a move in or around New Jersey, give them a shot. Good luck with your new kid-friendly home!

Preparing for Your Child's Financial Future with a UGMA Account!

I think it's safe to say that we all want the best for our kids. We want them to have good health, happiness, an enriching education and of course, financial stability when they get older. While we make sure to give our kiddos healthy food to eat, time spent outdoors for playing or reading them a bedtime story, we are working to give them that "best" we wish for them. However, there's another important thing we can do as well, and that's helping them to plan for their future financially.

If you’re looking for an easy way to give your child a jump start, a great way to do so is by setting up a UGMA account. If you aren’t familiar with what that is, it stands for Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and I am going to break it down for you.

A UGMA account is an investment account that allows you, as the parent (or guardian), to invest on behalf of a minor. This investment will be held and managed until the child reaches adulthood. Even though the account is in the child’s name, the guardian will have control over the investments until the child reaches a certain age, typically 18 or 21. This age depends on your state regulations.

UGMA accounts have no income or contribution limits and no early-withdrawal penalties or restrictions on how the funds are used for the child. Basically, these are easy-to-open accounts used to invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more… all to give a child a better future. 

A really nice feature of this type of an account is that family and friends can make contributions to the account. There are no contribution or income limits and contributions are made with after-tax dollars (meaning donors don’t receive an income tax deduction). However, please know that once a deposit has been made into this account, it is permanent. The transfer cannot be reversed once placed.

Have you ever had a family member say… I don’t know what to get “____” for their birthday or holiday gift? Having the ability to make deposits for your child can be a great option. Knowing they are investing in your child’s future would make a meaningful gift.

If there ever becomes an emergency for your child and he/she needs some money before they turn the age of majority in their state, you are allowed to make a withdrawal. There are no withdrawal penalties, but the reason has to be an expense that benefits the beneficiary.

If I piqued your interest in setting up a UGMA account for your child, you can easily do so through a bank or a brokerage institution. Happy saving!

*Please note: Since these assets are owned by the minor, they do count on their application for federal financial aid for college. This could potentially decrease their eligibility. How Does a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) Account Work? (investopedia.com)
