Momma Told Me: The only thing you get to take with you are the experiences you collect.

If it sounds like there have been crickets around the blog lately, I apologize for the week off- this past week marks the first week without a blog post, in the history of Momma Told Me. While there are a few things going on within the family I can't quite discuss yet, I, personally, have been driving up the Pacific coast with Sabrina (12) to drop her with her grandmother for the Summer, and visit my own mother here in Oregon. As luck would have it, I seem to have contracted (what we are lovingly calling) the plague and have been fighting a chest cold. Don't fret, I have meticulously documented the adventures from the past week, and there is a plethora of awesome-sauce content coming to Momma Told Me shortly! In fact, to prepare you for the action packed posts, I'm going to whet your appetite with a little preview of a brand new must have tech device for the adventure seeker, the GoPro HERO+ LCD.

Recently launched at Best Buy, the GoPro HERO+ LCD  is an all new way to capture life's most radical moments with absolutely no professional skill required at all. Seriously, if you have been contemplating investing in a GoPro now is the time and this is the model! Just in time for Father's Day, the HERO+ LCD features a vibrant LCD display to recount those captivating captures just moments after they've been shot. Whether you're looking to document a family vacation, or thinking of trying a new hobby, the GoPro HERO+ LCD is the only mobile camera you'll need. With 1080p60 video, 8MP photos, built in WiFi, Bluetooth and a touch display this GoPro is seamlessly intuitive and ready to inspire any owner to achieve new heights.

In fact, I'd like to propose just one activity a brand new GoPro HERO+ LCD would be perfect for- flyboarding. If you saw last nights episode of America's Got Talent (Extreme) you may have caught glimpse of a brand new water sport exhibited by adorable 17 year old Damone Rippy. In a display resembling a water dancing Iron Man, the 2 minute show introduced America to flyboarding, the sport of water jet-packing with 'water rockets' strapped to one's feet. If this seems a little extreme to you, try watching just one YouTube video of a pro flyboarder and not catching the bug to try it yourself. In fact, in less than 30 minutes, most flyboarding newbies can get the hang of 'walking on water' and flying through the air.

If you're not quite ready to drop $5k on your own flyboarding rig, fear not, you can rent the equipment at fairly reasonable rates, or visit one of multiple flyboarding experience day camps located across the country. Flyboarders soar over 45 feet in the air, at maximum propulsion, and one can only imagine the epic GoPro HERO+ shots that have been captured so far! How awesome would it be to book the man in your life for a one hour flyboarding experience and gift them with a brand new GoPro HERO+ LCD this Father's Day?

If you're not quite ready to take to the skies on a walkway made of water jets, the GoPro HERO+ LCD is easy enough for any age to master and perfect for capturing everyday events to action sports. Maybe your son is working on perfecting that back kick for his big soccer tournament, or you just want to snap that once in a lifetime shot of the icebergs on your cruise to Alaska. With the built in WiFi, it's never been easier to capture professional action shots and share them instantly on social media. Now through June 20, 2015, pick up a GoPro HERO+ LCD 32GB Extreme Memory bundle at Best Buy or take advantage of a $50 Best Buy Gift Card when you buy the #GoProBestBuy in Black or Silver GoPro4. What types of activities or events might you use a GoPro HERO+ LCD for this Summer?

What Daughter Says: #1 Dad mugs make great pen holders, but this Father's Day why not gift the ability to capture and share memories?

Encourage Protection With The Flavored Mouthguard From @MoGoSport #Giveaway

Momma Told Me: Safety isn't about fun.

I can't even begin to recollect all of the times I went outside to jump on a scooter or strap on skates and Momma and I had to have our traditional chats about outdoor safety. Because I was Momma's first, and only, child (and because, well, hospital fees are expensive, right?) it seemed like I was destined to be the kid on the block with the most protective padding. Heading into my teens I was forced to wear complete knee and arm pads, along with an oh-so-trendy helmet every time I took to skates. It was humiliating, but the one time I took a serious dive and landed on my elbow, shattering the growing plate, I was thankful the accident hadn't been much worse. Safety isn't about being cool, or fun, but it's always an extra piece of mind for parents when their children actually want to gear up. Few activities illustrate this like contact sports.

Whether your son's entering Pee-Wee football, your daughter's starting soccer, or your hubby just joined a pickup hockey league; protecting one's mouth and jaw seems to be low on the 'cool' spectrum. When it comes to youth, most players complain that mouth-guards are unsightly, uncomfortable and boring. But even a helmet can't protect from the shock of a core blow, or the jerk of an unexpected play. Mouthguards are not just meant to help absorb direct blows to the face, but also keep your tongue and mouth free of uncontrolled reactions during the game. And, let's not forget about preserving all that expensive dental work to keep those pearly whites clean and un-chipped! MoGoSport is all about making mouth protection fun, okay, at least appealing; with their innovative flavored mouthguard technology that imbeds the flavor within the BPA free poly-resin. The flavor is not sprayed on the guard, but built into it, which means a lasting flavor effect through months of use.

The MoGo M1 Flavored Mouthguard comes in two sizes, Child (Ages 11-) and Adult (Ages 12+), and have a special fitting process that involves warming the guard in water then fitting the guard to match the user's jaw. This particular guard model is not designed for wearers with braces, but do not fret, MoGo has a special braces friendly guard! There are also six great flavors to fit every taste; Orange, Mint, Lemon, Fruit Punch, Blue Raspberry, and Bubble Gum. My Adult M1 Mouthguard came in Blue Raspberry, though I was also sent flavor strips to sample the other flavors. I was surprised just how much flavor was released over gradual use, and favored the Bubble Gum, personally, the most. The M1 Mouthguard also has a special flavor section located at the back of the guard meant to trigger salivary glands for safe performance.

The MoGo Performance Series Mouthguard includes an easy quick attach tether for helmets, and is backed by a $10k dental warranty; which is pretty reassuring. As someone looking into joining a Roller Derby team in mid-2014, I'm very glad to have discovered these unique flavored mouth guards that once again make action sports protection just a little cool again. Even after fitting I find my MoGo to be a little snug- and couldn't determine the size based on the package I received, though I was told I was sent an adult. This snugness doesn't detour from the purpose, and the fit, it is simply a little more intense to the guards I am used to. Be sure to follow the fitting instructions provided on the website and pay special attention to fit, making a second fitting attempt if you are not 100% satisfied; however you should never trim your guard. Free Shipping is currently offered on orders of 4 or more and the MoGo is currently stocked primarily online.
