5 Things We Love Right Now

During my beloved summer months, I’m all about slip-on-and-go footwear. Okay, I’ll admit I wear comfy shoes all year—but I don’t look out of place when wearing them during the summer months! I knew the Birkenstock brand from their sandals but didn’t realize they also offer other options! They have several styles made out of EVA (which is like a rubber material) that come in summer colors, including white and bright pink. Comfy and perfect for a day at the pool or beach!

After Sun Lotion

Both of my girls are lifeguarding this summer, which means they are out in the sun a lot. They are diligent to apply sunscreen, and just as diligent in applying an after sun lotion. Through trial and error, we’ve landed on Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Moisturizer. It keeps their skin soft after a day of sun and chlorine and smells great! Available at local drugstores.

Hubert’s Lemonade

In our home, we indulge in several treats that are strictly seasonal. For example, I’ll only make pumpkin bread in the fall and I have an egg casserole that is reserved for Christmas morning. A summer fave and a staple is Hubert’s Lemonade. Even though it’s available year-round, it’s in our fridge all summer long and is the perfect drink to sip on a hot summer day. Available at retail stores all over; watch for when it’s on sale at Sprouts!

Psych!

I love to play games but finding one we all enjoy gets harder and harder. Enter Psych! Outwit Your Friends. My older played it, loved it and told me about it. It’s an app, and the nice thing is that everyone doesn’t have to be together to play. We’ve had several “psych sessions” with relatives in St. Louis. The game generates questions about players and you each come up with an answer based on what you know about the person. Lots of laughs! Available at the app store.

Incredible Fun

It’s July and it’s hot and you are looking for something indoors to do with the family. Well you are in luck! New to Kansas City is America’s Incredible Pizza. With a huge buffet, lots of games along with so many rides that includes go-karts, bumper cars, scrambler (fun fact, this is my fave ride), a vortex tunnel and so much more, there’s something for everyone! Be sure to bring along the ad on pg. 3 for a FREE $5 game card. IncrediblePizza.com/KC
