Now that summer is in full swing… the long lazy days of boredom have kicked in. We are truly in the in-betweens, the thrill of summer break has faded for both mom and kids and let’s face it, nobody wants to think of prepping for back to school yet!
My motto, “Embrace the day!”
Soon enough, summer will be over and the cold will set in and we will all be daydreaming of sunshine and warmth…. well today is the day….”Embrace the Day!”
With a little creativity, lets make the most of Summer. While shopping at Safeway I came across Blue Diamond® Nut-Thins and thought that these would be prefect to stock up on for the kids. These crackers are crunchy and crispy and offer nutritional value and will replace their craving for chips and cookies. WIN-WIN for all!

Here are 7 fun ideas to embrace summer with Blue Diamond® Nut-Thins!
–Take the kids on a nature scavenger hike – Before leaving, pack a backpack full of snack and create a scavenger list of items you will look for on your hike. This will really get kids young and old to open their eyes and take in nature
– Go for a NESW ride – If you are able to get out side your city limits and head out in “adventure land” you can play the North – East – South – West game with your kids. while driving around, when you come to a stop or turn option you ask your kids to pick a direction. This has lead us to some pretty amazing adventures that we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise
– Rekindle a friendship – Invite a friend or neighbor over for some ice tea and snacks (like Blue Diamond® Nut-Thins 😉 bonus if they have kids your kids age! This will give them someone new to interact with.
– Set up a bike wash station – what is more fun than soaping up that set of wheels and making them shine. Kids love getting in their swimsuits and making their ride nice and shiny!
– Let’s them make food! – My kids LOVED making homemade ice cream and homemade butter, the process is so easy and all you need is a few ingredients, ones that you probably already have in your home and and empty mason jar….. then shake, shake, shake! They will be amazed at the outcome.
– Play “wilderness” – My kids loved this game and I loved that it allowed me a little freedom to get done some much needed tasks. The theme… the kids are camping or in the wilderness and they need to “survive” of course you start there adventure with all the necessary supplies… lots of snacks, drinks, games, flashlights, radio, books and let there adventure take off. If your kids need a little help kick starting their imagination you can lay the path with a storyline for them.
–Have an “all nighter” – My kid love the thought of an all nighter and what better time of year than in summer. The all nighter consist of plenty of snacks, books, games and a good movie list. Usually they konk out by midnight but they have fun trying.
