    Summer tip: water in the morning or evening, not during the heat of the day.

  13. judy brittle Said,

    My tip is to find some activities you can do with the kids for some fun quality summer fun. Make summer treats,work on crafts,go on hikes and scavenger hikes.. Do that a couple hours a day and the kids are happy to go play by themselves to give you a rest. Thank you!

    My four year old and I planted a garden this summer. We started it from seed packs for about $10 total and we’ve just started harvesting lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, squash and lots of herbs. We’ve saved ourselves money and I’ve taught him a lot about growing plants and taking care of them in the process!

  18. Michelle Said,

    Savor the sun: harvest from a dewy garden, soak in an afternoon pool, and linger in the dusk, drinking every last drop of summer.

    On the hottest part of the day its better to keep the kids in the house. That would be a great time for a summer snack and reading.

  21. Christina Said,

  22. Melanie Said,

    We use the sprinkler instead of a little pool that way he gets to have fun in the water and we water the grass at the same time!

  24. Angela Bailey Said,

    I like to take veggies out of my garden and wrap them in foil with a little butter and salt and put them on the grill for about 15 minutes. This is great to have with dinner. I especially love mixing squash, onions, and banana peppers. Garlic salt is good too. This gets me out in the garden and in a little bit of sun for a short time during the day in the summers at least.

    My summer tip is we do shopping at our local farmers market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. Everything is so much fresher and it helps out the farmers. Makes a fun Saturday outing with the grandkids.

    Enjoy every minute you have with your kids. Mine are all teenagers now and one will be leaving for college in August. Time has zipped past us.
    I’m able to be home with them since I teach high school,,,,,so I can hang out with them.
