Hi! I’m Melanie McGonagle, aka Mama to my 2 kiddos. I started this blog site to write about what I love and care about the most. Motherhood & Wellness!

Enjoy!

Melanie’s Invention

I’ve always wanted to make something meaningful. To have a positive impact on the world – somehow. When my kids were toddlers, I noticed a century-old problem that no one had yet to solve. Blazing hot swings, slides and seats! My kids love parks, but on hot days there were a lot of pout faces and disappointment. Hot pants are impractical and towels didn’t work. So I invented the No Heat Slide Seat™! Since launching in 2021, Slide Seats have been a huge success all over the country and even as far as Australia!
