Having a HotSpring Spa in your backyard could save you a ton of money this summer. In this uncertain economy, many people are cutting back on spending a lot of money on overseas vacations and opting to stay closer to home to enjoy time with their families. So the concept of the ‘staycation’ has become quite popular.
For the price of an exotic vacation for you and the family, you could instead get a portable HotSpring Spa that would become a lasting addition to your family’s backyard fun and relaxation.
I suggest that you take some time to consider how owning a portable hot tub might add to your family’s fun this summer and for many years into the future. A HotSpring Spa with many models and price points to choose from has some environmentally-friendly models that are energy efficient and safe. There are also financing options available that can make it even easier to get one installed quickly.
So, what are some activities that you can do with your family to keep them entertained and engaged while you stay closer to home? Here are a few family “staycation” ideas:
Bring the kitchen outdoors
Set up an outdoor kitchen. If you’ve got an outdoor grill, try some new recipes on the grill and enjoy fun, summer meals outdoors more often. Find ways to involve the kids in selecting the recipes, shopping and food preparation. Have backyard parties and invite friends and neighbors.
Create a home spa experience
If you can’t travel to an exotic spa location, bring the spa home and hire a traveling spa service. They come to you and bring all of the supplies for the spa treatments that you request to your home. Invite your best girlfriends and have a spa party, and then invite them to join you in the hot tub after you’ve had your treatments.
Bring in a masseuse and get a massage for your tired muscles. Taking a soak in your portable spa after a good massage is a magical experience.
Outdoor Movie nights
Bring the TV out on the deck and watch movies. Pop some popcorn in the kitchen and spread blankets and sleeping bags out for some fun for the kids.
Get a Chimnea
A chimnea is a portable, contained fireplace that is made from stoneware pottery, terra cotta or wrought iron. It has legs on it to raise it up about 12″ from the ground and it keeps the fire contained and allows the smoke to flow up the chimney.
After a soak in the hot tub, sitting by a crackling fire on a cool summer evening can be a wonderful experience.
These are just a few of the ways that having a HotSpring Spa can add to your family’s “staycation” fun this year. There’s no doubt that owning a portable spa can fit in with your summer plans and bring your family together for healthy fun at home.
Have Fun,

Creating an outdoor living room
Monday, April 19th, 2010(ARA) – For leisurely entertaining this summer, take full advantage of the great outdoors and extend your living space by creating an outdoor room. Why not have an outdoor living room with comfortable seating for all or your friends, or a space where you could fire up the grill and dine out under the stars? Adding a level, low maintenance surface, like a patio, will give you not only the pleasure of living in your outdoor space, but of loving it too.
A great way to create this space is by installing pavers, bricks, or stone to create beautiful patios and paths. Whether you do it yourself or hire a professional, it can be as easy as installing a winding path to connect your home to your garden or creating a space for a cozy bench to watch the birds splashing in the bird bath.
Pavers come in many different shapes, sizes and colors, offering you ways to customize your ideas to match your house and landscaping. Once you have your patio or walkways installed, you can make your backyard inviting and appealing all summer long. Here are a couple of fun, easy tips:
*Find sturdy, comfortable seating that will withstand the elements for years to come. Try wrought iron, wood, or even resin (often made from post-consumer bottle waste such as milk containers) for low-maintenance options. These are readily available in your local garden or specialty stores.
*Seating is even more comfortable with the quick addition of colorful cushions and throw pillows. Swap these out for a change of scenery and store pillows in a clean, dry space (like a garage or storage bench) when not in use to extend their lives.
*Plant flowers, herbs, and vegetables in containers to add a pop of color to your outdoor living spaces. Keep these lush and lively all summer by planting seedlings in a good quality potting mix like Miracle-Gro Potting Mix with Moisture Control.
*Keep unwanted grass and weeds from popping up between the pavers by using Ortho GroundClear. This weed control can be used early in the season between the pavers to kill the weeds you see popping up, and will keep new weeds from growing for up to one year. What a great way to spend less time working and more time enjoying your yard!
* Use an edger to trim the grass around the walkways and the edge of your patio for a more finished appearance.
*String some twinkle lights for a festive party atmosphere and use inexpensive, solar powered yard lights to illuminate your outdoor spaces. These usually require little or no installation; just stake in the ground along paths or in pots for added interest.
With the addition of patios or paths and a trimmed, designer look in your backyard, you’ll be able to enjoy spending time in your outdoor living space, and not have to worry about a lot of maintenance to keep it looking beautiful. Start living in the outdoors and loving it.

Owning a Hot Tub Can Improve Family Relationships
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010Could owning a hot tub really be the answer to improving family relationships? In today’s rush around and “hurried” world of juggling school, work and family relationships, family time is often sacrificed, causing these crucial relationships to suffer. But family time is important and needs to nurtured.
Hot Tubs are great opportunities for family bonding
As parents, we’re always looking for opportunities to do things together as a family. Family bonding time should feel natural not forced. Spending time in your own hot tub with your spouse and/or kids is not only a lot of fun, it’s a great way to just be together as a family.
If the idea of getting a hot tub or portable spa for the backyard sounds like a good one, have a family meeting and see if everyone agrees. If your kids are old enough, let them help choose which model and which features the portable spa will have. A visit to our dealership could be a fun experience for the whole family.
But what about the price? Aren’t hot tubs expensive?
The first point to consider when you are thinking about a portable spa is the fact that it’s an investment. When you spend money for a vacation for the whole family including airfare and hotel, food and entertainment, all you have when the trip is over is the memory of the experience. Not a bad thing, but…
When you invest the money in a hot tub for your backyard, your family will be able to enjoy your one time hot tub purchase for years to come. And you might be surprised at the selection of environmentally-friendly hot tub models that are available now. In addition, we offer finance plans that help make the entire purchase process easier on you and your budget.
Your family can also enjoy the health benefits of a portable spa
Soaking in a hot tub can be blissfully relaxing, and help bring families together, but did you know that there are a whole host of health benefits that can be derived from using a HotSpring spa?.
Here’s just a few that you and your family can look forward to even as you relax and have fun together. A HotSpring spa..
* Reduces stress and increases relaxation
* Reduces anxiety improves sleep
* Provides relief from achy, stiff joints
* Decreases muscle tension
* Improves circulation
* Research studies has shown that soaking in a hot tub can actually decrease blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes.
Time flies by quickly and children grow up right before your eyes. That’s why it’s so important to stop and make time to be with them, laugh and do fun things together as they grow. We can’t always find the time to go to a ball game, or a Sunday afternoon drive, but who can’t find 20 minutes at the end of the day spend time together in a hot tub that’s right in your own backyard.
Happy childhood memories will warm your family’s heart for the rest of their lives. The memories you create with your family while relaxing and literally soaking up the healing and relaxation power from a HotSpring spa will be remembered for a lifetime.
Relax – It’s a HotSpring,
Kevin
