This summer is a SCORCHER!

Earlier this year we were complaining about the never ending winter, but once summer finally arrived it seemed to want to let us know that it had TRULY arrived! It is HOT!

Today, I'm sharing some simple ways to keep cool this summer, while still enjoying that much needed outdoor time--- and sharing some great products that can help!

Have a Water Fight!

Nothing can cool us down faster that a good ol' fashioned water fight! Squirt guns, water balloons, etc... a friendly competition and a great cool down too! The great thing about water fights are that you can do it to fit whatever budget you have this summer... go all out with crazy blasters, or keep it simple with basic water guns!

   

Timing Is Everything!

Consider doing your outdoor play in the morning, before the sun is at its fullest! It might still be hot, but it might be a little more bearable at least!! Plus, if they get the energy out in the morning, it might make for an easier day...

Hey, a mama can dream, right?

Backyard Water Park

Whether its a pool, sprinklers, a slip and slide... or just a plain ol' water hose... consider making several different water play areas available for your kids to choose from! You can search Pinterest for DIY ideas, or keep it simple with some great water play products.

   

I Scream, You Scream... We All Scream For ICE CREAM!

I must admit, this is my personal favorite way to cool down in the summer. Of course, we can wait for the ice cream truck, which is always fun... but in my family, nothing beats homemade ice cream... and cranking it by hand is half the fun!
