Each blogger is also giving you a chance to win a $100 gift card to Shutterfly.com! Read each and enter for your chances to win! ends 5/31

BooMama feels the abundance of kids in her neighborhood has honestly been one of the best things that’s ever happened to our her boy. "Being outside with his buddies – whether it’s at our house or a neighbor’s house or the park – has taught him so much about building relationships and solving problems."

Suburban Turmoil acknowledges that she's lucky to live in Nashville, which is beautiful and has lots of spaces and places for families to play outdoors. "My seven-year-old daughter heads outside the moment she gets home from school each day and often doesn't come in until dusk!"

Finding Bonggamom shares that with her boys, she's discovered "they are actually more prepared to settle down and concentrate if they've just had a long, satisfying bout of outdoor play, so it's good for more than just getting them to sleep at night -- it's good for their mind, body and soul!"

Cheaper Than Therapy and her family make great use of their trampoline. "Not only are they outside in the fresh air getting exercise, but more importantly, they are playing together. I couldn't pay them to play together inside."

Busy Mom is a strong advocate of keeping her kids active outdoors. "Busy Boy (age 14) is seriously considering a career in Wildlife and Fisheries science that was sparked from his experiences at camp and being outdoors!"

Mom to the Screaming Masses admits that, "when you have kids, something miraculous happens. Even the most devoted couch potato around becomes a fierce devotee of the outdoors. Or, at the very least, you become a lover of sending the KIDS out to play outside!"

Home to Three Duncan Boys shares that her boys love being outside as much as can! "They are able to use their imagination more freely. They are also able to let out as much energy as possible!"

Jenny On The Spot agrees that outdoor activity is important for her kids. "Playing outside gives a child freedom to move. It clears their lungs… and getting outside provides an escape from the potentially mind-numbing options available indoors (the television, the computer, the couch, the potato chips…)."

Find out where to donate your tabs and learn other ways you can support the Sprite Spark Parks Project.

"When they were finished decorating their Spinbrush and toothpaste, almost an hour later, they wanted to use them immediately. I pretended to think about it and was all, 'Well, I guess'...and they cheered!" ~ Said Raising Colorado.

Win $100 Visa from Blogher & Libman

Libman recently asked ten bloggers to review the new Freedom! Spray Mop in their own homes. Find out why they all think the Freedom! Spray Mop makes good, clean sense!

Each blogger is also giving you a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card and a free Libman Freedom! Spray Mop! Read each post and enter for your chances to win!

The Frugal Girl adores that the handle “swivels in all directions, which means that it's great for reaching into corners and under cabinets. Super easy, super fast, and I'm sold…it's also simple enough for my kids to use, which opens up all sorts of possibilities!”

Secret Agent Josephine is able to kiss those days of sudsy buckets goodbye! “I like it. It's sturdy, it squirts my magical vinegar solution and when I'm done mopping, I can pop the handy-dandy wash-cloth pad thingy into the washing machine.”

Sew A Straight A Line loves that she can mix her own cleaning solutions up right inside the bottle. “The opening is fairly wide and there are measurement markings down each side for ratio control!”

Home To Three Duncan Boys: despises cleaning her kitchen floors, however, she loves the Libman Freedom Spray Mop! “I can go on and on about the greatness of this product like how much time it saves, how it’s eco-friendly, how eventually it will start to save you money!”

Roots and Wings is oh so happy with how this mop works! “My tiles are very uneven and most mops do not get into the huge bumps and grooves of my large tiles. However, the Libman mop’s pad is doing a great job for me!”

Jennifer Rizo's kids have been fighting over using the Libman Freedom Spray Mop! “They actually think it’s fun. If that would only work for cleaning the bathrooms.”

The Cottage Home really enjoys that there are no batteries needed, “you simply squeeze the handle and the solution sprays out of the mop onto the floor - easy peasy! I am honestly very happy with this spray mop!”

Joyful Abode likes that you can spray as much of http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifthe solution as you want in one area, and none in other areas. “I got up some spots that had been bugging me for a while…don’t ask me how long a while is!”

Rage Against The Minivan's kids like using the mop too! “They were actually fighting over who got to use it first. Two kids fighting over who will clean the floors? SWOON!” Find out her top three fav reasons you, too, should purchase the Libman Freedom Spray Mop!

It's Twinsanity doesn't like to use harsh chemical cleaners nor the idea of using disposable products in her home. “I’ve been mopping more often and spending far less time doing it. I am not ashamed to admit that I have fallen in love with this mop!”

Kindle or some cash

I'd like to have a Kindle; been wanting one for quite a while. I think it would be fun to take on that long plane ride to and from Santiago. Or the cash can go in my trip savings account. Or the Amazon cert for my long wish list.

Wealth Information is giving away an Amazon Kindle, some PayPal cash, and some Amazon certificates. ends 5/10
