Summer is finally here and the weather is getting a lot nicer out. My whole family loves summer and we are excited because there is so much you can do during the summer. Since most kids are now out of school and on with summer break, it can get hard to keep them busy, as well as ourselves. I have a summer guide I made of some great items for all to enjoy for the summer. Some are for all ages, and some are not. It’s got a wide variety for everyone.
Carnivals are always fun to attend during something. It’s something that my entire family does each year. If your kids love the carnival, how about this great carnival play set! This is such a cute set and it’s very well made too. My daughters have been loving playing with their set. If you have kids who love to play pretend, I think they’ll really love this set. They can have some fun pretend playing at the carnival! My kids do this very often, so this was the perfect set for them.
Take three animal friends for a ride on this beautifully designed Carnival Play Set! A unique gift for children ages three and up, this stylish wooden Ferris wheel features a colorful handle that, when turned, rotates the adorable furry critters ‘round and ‘round. The Carnival Play Set includes a wooden abacus to count rides, ticket holders or number of spins – making this unique gift perfect for growing minds and imaginations!

Maybe you’re looking for something to sip on this summer. How about something with a great kick from Beatbox Beverages. This does contain alcohol, so this would be for anyone 21 or older. They have some wonderful flavors to choose from too. They’ve got blue razzberry, pink lemonade and fruit punch. Of of which are great flavors!
“The World’s Tastiest Party Punch” or BeatBox Beverages, is meant for all outdoor activities and any adult looking to sip on something with just the right amount of kick; while watching their kids tumble around in the grass or splash each other in the pool. There is a flavor for every taste palette, each one being the perfect refresher for Spring and Summer: Fruit Punch, Blue Razzberry, Pink Lemonade and Fresh Watermelon.

How about something fun to keep the kids busy this summer. ORB Slimi Cafe has these great products for children. If your kids love both slime and squishy toys, they’re going to love these. It’s a combination of the both. You can create your own foods with the products. You can use the slime to put over the squishy toys, and they will not stick, so no worrying about that!

Summer time is the perfect time for masks and scrubs. This is my favorite season of the year to use products for my face. You can grab all your friends or family and do some masks. I love doing these with my daughters. They have recently gotten in to more of these products, and they love them. We like to do masks together, and love a good scrub too!
Sprout Mask has these amazing masks to choose from too. Their collection of masks & scrubs come in travel-friendly and re-sealable packaging for up to 3 uses. They have many different choices to choose from too. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect ones for you. I actually think that having some friends and family members over for a fun facial would be so much fun with these masks and scrubs! I always love a good girls night out, and what a great way to celebrate, then with some masks and scrubs from Sprout Mask!
Have you ever been out somewhere and an emergency came up, but there was nobody you could really contact? Maybe you didn’t have your phone on you, or something bad may have happened. There are always emergencies, and we never know when they’re going to happen. I would hope that nothing bad would ever happen, but you just never know. Luckily there is this great product called Silent Beacon that can really help out in situations like these.
Silent Beacon is a wearable, wireless panic-button device that connects to smartphones, tablets and other compatible Bluetooth™ devices. Unlike other safety devices, with one button push the Beacon can place a call to 911 while simultaneously alerting up to 6 additional contacts with a text, email, and live tracking GPS location — so you can use the Beacon to talk to emergency responders while also letting your loved ones know you need help immediately.
Silent Beacon users can easily customize the device’s call and alert settings through a free app in just a couple of seconds. No other wearable safety device does so much for so little — and so simply. Silent Beacon offers features not available on other wearable devices, at a much lower price, including:
-
Allows two-way talk communication and has a built-in microphone for easy communication, without touching your cell phone
-
Ability to program any number into the one-push emergency call
-
Works internationally
-
GPS live tracking
-
Multiple customized direct contact options (911/EMS)
-
Customizable contact list
-
No monthly payments or hidden fees. Special additional services can be activated upon request.
Whether traveling the world or taking a walk around the block, your readers will be glad you helped them discover this hot new wearable!
How about a fun outdoor game to play with the whole family this summer. If you haven’t heard of disc golf yet, I would say you’re really missing out. This is a really fun game to play with everyone, even kids! Our local park actually has this game set up, so it’s perfect for my family when we want to play a game. You just have to provide your discs and they have all the other pieces you may need. If you’re looking for a nice disc golf set, Kestrel Sports has a great beginner or advanced set you can grab.
Disc Golf is the perfect sport to enjoy the outdoors as actively as you want. I’s a great game for parents to play with their kids outside. Disc Golf is a sport that can be played at any level with courses nearly in every city of America. For a few dollars, parents can obtain a few discs and spend some time with their children outside.
Disc Golf is incredibly fun while enjoying the outdoors together as a family or with friends. It can be competitive but usually is not. Children can become really passionate about playing disc golf and will want to spend less time in front of screens.
If your kids love the arts and drawing, I have something that they may really enjoy. Chalk markers! My daughters absolutely love using these, and they love all kinds of art projects too. In my opinion, this is a much more fun way to enjoy using chalkboards because you can use these chalk markers instead of just chalk. They have such great colors too! If you have any summer trips coming up, these would be great for in the car. It gives kids something to do while on those long car rides.
- 30 COLORS – One pack containing all our Neon and Pastel Chalk Markers – Use these Liquid chalk pens to decorate any Non-Porous surface including mirrors, shop storefront, metal, blackboard, whiteboard and more – as you want them in your own canvas.
- FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION – Chalkola’s chalk paint markers work on virtually any non porous surface you can think of: Great for Restaurant Menu Boards, Bistro Boards, White board, LED Writing Board, Wedding parties, Window markers, Car Windows, Kids art, School work, Marking dates on food Containers and much more.
- A BLAST FOR FAMILIES, STUDENTS, AND CUSTOMERS. Whether you’re a mom looking for holiday decorating with children, clean alternative to standard chalk or paint, a teacher on a quest for the most sought-after education classroom supplies, or a business, office owner trying to advertise new products, our markers make creating beautiful, fun messages and designs effortless
- COMES OFF AS EASY AS IT WENT ON. Our rich, high quality water based ink is washable and delivers dust free – saturated, clean, flowing fine lines that go on smooth and quick dry within minutes.

Every three months, they curate unique items to keep your home feeling comfy, on-trend, and perfectly you. And then they’ll send ‘em right to your doorstep for you to discover!
How about some outdoor water fun for the kids to enjoy! My daughters love to be outside often in the summer time, and it can get hot out too. They love all kinds of water activities, so we are always looking for something fun for them to do. I’m sure by now, most of you have heard of Ryan’s World, but if not, you must check out his YouTube videos and his awesome line of toys! One that you can enjoy this summer with the kids, is called Head Splat.
Far Out Toys has developed a flip on classic Splash Out play with the new Ryan’s World Head Splat – a new water challenge game with epic splash outs… on your head. The concept is simple: players use their heads to flip a water balloon into a wacky looking hat. The challenge is to keep the balloon away from the rough edges of the cup otherwise they will SPLASH OUT! Head Splat is great fun for the entire family! Challenge moms, dads, grandparents and little siblings to water balloon flippin’ fun! Head Splat comes complete with the Head Splat hat, adjustable Head Splat cord, and 24 water balloons.

I know many travel a lot during the summer, or maybe you just do a lot of camping or picnics. Whatever it may be, when it comes to food, I want to have the best for storing my food in while I’m out. I’m not a fan of those plastic bags, I love anything that is reusable. I have recently switched over to a lot of reusable items. I love using reusable bags from Stasher. They have many sizes to choose from, and they work great for wherever you may be going and need to bring along some food.
Stasher is the perfect companion to summer camping trips, picnics or even as a travel accessory. Stasher bags come in a variety of sizes to suite a variety of needs.
For camping in particular you can use Stasher bags as a lightweight alternative to store and even easily cook your food while you’re on the trail or at a campsite. For a summer picnic, you can easily store various picnic essentials like fruit and sandwiches without the concern of off-gassing from plastic. And in travel, Stasher bags can be the perfect solution to transport toiletries, cords as well as various personal items like IDs, money and passports.
I personally cook a lot more in the summer. I just think it’s a fun time to get together with my daughters and cook up some great goodies. We love baking all kinds of treats and just having a great time in the kitchen. It’s one of our favorite things to do together. I know you’ll need many different ingredients this summer if you are going to be baking. C&H sugar is always a wonderful choice, and in my case, the only choice for us when it comes to baking and sugar.
Beat the Heat with Baking — With school out of session and the hot Summer sun raising temperatures beyond comfortable, parents are on the hunt for activities to entertain their kids all while avoiding the hot summer heat. What better idea than baking! No matter your age, physical abilities, looks, hobbies, etc., baking is an activity that all can enjoy and creates sweet memories that last a lifetime. C&H Brown Sugars create a flavor that’s deep, rich and real, while being ideal for baking full-flavored or savory recipes. C&H Brown Sugars are ideal for baking of all kinds— especially cookies, shortbread, candies, fudge, chocolate cakes, brownies and crumble toppings. What better way to beat the heat and entertain this Summer than by enjoying time together baking? Let C&H Sugar sweeten it up!
Motorola Talkabout T600 H20 Two-Way Radios
Looking for something fun to do this summer? Or just need a better way to communicate with someone? Cellphones are not always the best because of their cell service. You won’t always have reception, so that’s why I love having two way radios. They can be both fun and live saving. You never know when you could be a in bad situation where one of these may come in handy. I love these along on trips, because they’re extremely helpful and they really do come in handy. These two-way radios from Motorola Solutions are amazing! They sure are great for my family and our road trips!
Motorola Talkabout T600 H20 two–way radios are ideal for water adventures when out of cell phone range. Two–way radios are important for communication and safety. These feature NOAA weather updates and alerts and the T600 H20 is completely WATERPROOF and FLOATS, so no need to worry if it accidentally falls off the boat when dad is fishing. It also comes equipped with a handy water-activated flashlight, which includes a white and red LED (to preserve night vision.) I thought these would make great Father’s Day gifts or for summer gear as we get into the summer months.. These are perfect for fishing, hiking, camping and the weekend trip to the cabin.
If you cook a lot like I do, you are probably going to want some nice items to have in the kitchen. Something I use very often, are frying pans. I’m always in the kitchen cooking something up with a frying pan. Whether it’s something to snack on or dinner, I’m always always using my frying pans. I love my copper pans the most, but I also enjoy the non-stick ones. Almond has some very nice frying pans that have been great for cooking with!
Copper Frying Pans:
- DURABLE CERAMIC NONSTICK COPPER FRY PAN. Almond’s ceramic nonstick coating is rigorously tested to make sure it is durable and reliable. The nonstick surface is also very slick, so food releases easily and doesn’t stick while cooking. Great for eggs and omelets.
- HEAVY-DUTY ALUMINUM PAN. This fry pan is a thick 3.0 mm gauge vessel that provides better heat control, even heat distribution and long-term durability. It is safe for gas, electric and induction cook-tops.
- COMFORTABLE STAINLESS STEEL HANDLE. The handle is ergonomically shaped so it’s comfortable in your hand. The stainless steel handle is riveted to the pan to reduce heat transfer while providing great durability and strength. The entire pan is oven safe to 420 F.
- TEMPERED GLASS LID. The beautiful glass lid allows for easy food monitoring while cooking, without losing heat. The lid provides faster cooking results by keeping foods hot. It is oven safe to 500 F.
- HEALTHY CERAMIC NONSTICK COATING. The ceramic coating is healthier because it requires less oil while cooking. Almond’s ceramic coating is PTFE and PFOA free, which means it doesn’t contain any toxic chemicals It is also dishwasher safe.
Nonstick Frying Pans:
- HEAVY DUTY: Some skillets can’t stand up to daily wear & tear in the kitchen; this pan is oven safe to 450 degrees F with a thick 3.0 mm gauge design for even heat distribution & added durability
- STAY COOL HANDLE: Far too often, frying pan handles get hot & break down after repeated use; the ergonomically shaped handle is riveted to the pan to prevent heat transfer & is comfortable to hold
- TEMPERED GLASS LID: The see-through glass lid allows you to keep a close eye on your dish while it’s cooking & will keep food warm until you’re ready to plate; our lid is also oven safe up to 500 F
- DISHWASHER SAFE: These days, too many skillets have to be hand washed, adding just another task to your post-dinner cleanup chores; the Almond pan, which is free of harsh toxins, is dishwasher safe

Wriggly Toes-Organic Kids Bedding
Now is a great time to fix up children’s rooms. In fact, my husband and I are working on my youngest daughters room this summer. We have already started, and she is pretty much getting a whole new room. I think summer time is the perfect time to get children’s rooms done. If you’re planning on switching up some stuff in their room, how about some great bedding for the kids. My kids love it when they get new bedding. It can really complete their rooms too.

Better Smile Toothbrush Company
We all know that oral hygiene is extremely important. I always make sure that my children are brushing their teeth twice a day as well as floss and use mouthwash. I’ve always been very up on making sure everyone is doing what they can to keep up with great oral hygiene. It’s something that has always been extremely important to me. I know that with kids it can be hard to get them to brush their teeth too. I think having the right toothbrush can make it fun for them too.
These toothbrushes from Better Smile Toothbrush Company are great for boys and girls. They have both boys and girls toothbrush packs. Just like a subscription box, you can get them every three months or once a year. The subscription helps avoid toothbrush build-up. Their toothbrushes have the season & year imprinted on the toothbrush so that when new ones arrive, parents know which ones to discard. Isn’t that amazing?! I know it can often be hard to remember when to throw out your toothbrush and get a new one. These are great for helping kids and parents remember when to switch to a new toothbrush.
WHY TOOTHBRUSHES?
1. There’s a connection between oral health and overall health
Do you spend much time thinking about your toothbrush? If you’re like me, there’s a million OTHER things on your to-do list. However, after reading study after study on the effects of oral health and toothbrushes (such as infections, gum disease, decay and bad breath), a habit we perform 2x per day suddenly became an important preventative measure for our family.
The ADA (American Dental Association) recommends changing your toothbrush every 3 months.
Make sure to check them out for your own kids toothbrushes. I think kids are going to really love these too!
Looking for some fun activities for the kids to do this summer? I know they can get bored easily, so it’s nice to have some activities for them to do. I usually have a lot at home just so that my daughters can keep busy. It’s not often that I hear the words I’m bored, but I do sometimes. That’s why I love having all these kinds of activities around so they can keep from being bored.
This paper dolly pouchpad is a great idea for kids who love to use their imaginations.
MY PAPER DOLLY POUCHPAD contains a pre-cut PAPER DOLL and 6 illustrated sceneries, representing some daily living activities. The sceneries contain the slits to insert the DOLL. Your little one can put Mimi to sleep, feed, bathe her and even try on some outfits. All designs are cute and simple. Remember, children benefit from simplicity and our PAPER DOLL GAME does offer that.
- Recommended age: 3+
- Thick durable paper.
- No cutting/punching out needed. At all.
- Safe corners.
- And our favorite: NO GAZILLION PIECES around your house.
This is a fun set for kids and I think they’re going to really love this. I love that they can switch up the doll to different places. My kids really liked that.
