July is Here
I don’t want to face it….but the summer is passing by quickly! We just had the fireworks and picnics and the heat is on. There is still a lot of time for fun and games. So….I will continue to provide some more helpful summer tidbits for you to enjoy with your kids.
When it is hot, we think of water. Make sure you drink plenty of it. (It is a lot better for you and healthier than soda or juices.) To keep cool go hang out in the water. Look for local pools, friend’s pools (drop hints), lakes, rivers, and oceans are awaiting your visit. Heck, you can even turn on the sprinklers and have the kids run through it on your lawn. Make a slip and slide from an old shower curtain and have them splash around, with supervision, of course. Lather on that sunscreen again and again to prevent awful burns.
Think of cool indoor places to hang out in: Shopping malls, ice or rollar skating rinks, gyms, recreation sites, indoor play areas, bookstores, libraries, movies…use your imagination. Look for coupons for the places that charge a fee. Check out www.hotcoupons.com to find coupons in your area or an area that you will visit. Remember your Entertainment book, too. It is loaded with coupons and deals that we all forget we have. Keep it in your car’s glove compartment, so you always have it, while on the go.
