July 3, 2020

We’re all celebrating summer close to home this year. Even though we might not be heading out on all the trips we planned and to the parties we hoped to attend, “staying close to home” can still be fun. It can still be cute and stylish for the kids too! Today we’ve teamed up with 2 favorite brands and  some friends to host a fun summer giveaway. One lucky winner will get $250 to shop Busy Bees Kids and $200 to shop Elephantito. We also have a great Busy Bees coupon code!

We’ve been enjoying lots of “slow” time in the back yard. With a new baby brother to snuggle, extra time at home is welcomed. After many (many!!) weeks of no activities we just started tennis and everyone is so excited. If you’re looking for more fun activities to do at home, check out our free printable “25 Easy Outdoor Games” here.

One activity we enjoyed recently was making patriotic blowers. Here’s a simple “how to”:

Kid Patriotic Blowers

Toilet Paper or Paper Towel Rolls Cut
Red Paint (or blue would be even better)
Gold Star Stickers (or white)
Blue and White Streamers (or Red and White if you paint it blue)
Spray Glue

Use a paint brush to paint your toilet paper roll. Let it dry. Let kids decorate it with your star stickers.
Cut Streamers about 6″ to 10″ inches long and then cut in half lengthwise.
Spray glue in roll and place the streamers in the tube.

Let the kids run and blow in their patriotic streamers!

We’ve been really loving practicing golf in our backyard lately. We love to be outside and my husband found the perfect net we can practice on. It’s easy to move, and put away when needed, but we can all practice our swings together.
