A couple of weeks ago, fear faced me square in the eye, beckoning to tackle it head on. Then, I chickened out.
You may have seen the results…
My heart was so badly wanting to do that forward flip but my head was going: “Are you NUTS??!”
I went home bummed about the missed chance. But hey, I’m not one to who likes to admit defeat.
Miss an opportunity? Pick up another!
So when the Digital Parents was holding their web-site relaunch (go check it out!) at the newest not even officially opened trampoline place, Sky-Zone, nothing was holding me back. Nothing, I tells ya.
And folks, this…THIS is how Mama G’ll make ya, JUMP, JUMP!
A big thanks to my stunt camera crew, Brenda and Mummy K for taking the footage.
Now tell me, what fears have you faced and conquered? Have you been to one of these awesome trampoline places?

I have been to one and was very disappointed I couldn’t go to this one! I didn’t do a flip but I did try running up the walls and jumping off them – with some success…but the good thing, is even if you fall, it doesn’t hurt! Will be heading there soon with the kiddos!

That looks like so much fun! I recently went to the Northern Territory and faced several of my fears – I actually held a snake (have had a phobia all my life) and a frilly neck lizard. Oh and I went into the Cage Of Death with a crocodile. Now I have a few more fears to face …

I didn’t even know trampoline places like this existed! It looks like so much fun, my kids would have a ball! I’d love it too, but my brain would be making me chicken out on the flip, the landing looks nice and soft though.

Lizzy - Muddle-Headed Mamma says
LOL – I love it! I think you are my hero! I would be so happy with myself if I could flip like that. My pelvic floor doesn’t even allow me to bounce more than half a dozen times consequetively these days. If I did a flip, I’d be worried my whole insides would flip out. Love your work Mama G!

Fort lauderdale ray pat the plumber reviews says
The kitchen is used more than any other room in the house, therefore an inviting and well laid-out kitchen is instrumental in reducing stress and streamlining your life.
In fact, drain problems also occurs during heavy continuous rains or storms.
You can also use tile as backsplash or can use them either in a traditional manner or diagonally.

I have never been a place like this before, but I think I will some day, love to have fun with trampoline. I have one indoor for my fitness exercise. I think people with no experience in trampoline should watch out playing with them. It may be dangerous, especially for children

BEST TRAMP ONLINE JUDGE says
One of your first considerations should be the pad size. As much as possible, it must not be too loose or too tight. It must simply fit perfectly into the trampoline, so you can tie the pad properly. You can measure the trampoline size yourself, or you can go online and look for a measuring guide.
