100% Family Time
It should go without saying that life as a parent gets busy. It seems that our kids lives are just as busy. During the school year we’re all frantic with homework, after school activities and everything in between. Then, during the summer even though we have a lack of restrictive schedule, it seems we’re just as busy. However, it’s important to make family time important not only during the summer but all year round. Tips For Making The Most Of Family Time During The Summer is all about spending quality time with your loved ones. Family time doesn’t need to be perfect, but it’s important to find those special moments to be 100% focused on Family Time even in your everyday routine.

The Funny Family Time
There are lots of things that we Funny Family do together. One of my favorite things to do for 100% Family Time during the summer with my kids is making homemade pizza and playing outside. Anytime I can cook with my kids in the kitchen and eat outside is a good day to me. To keep my kids engaged outside I like to provide them with plenty of playful opportunities. Such as sidewalk chalk, a blowup pool, bikes, balls and of course our two Labrador dogs too! My kids love eating pizza and drinking Juicy Juice outside.
Daily Summer Adventures!
When my oldest son was younger (he’s 10 years old now!) I used to abide by the summer time rule of “day on and day off”. I would take them somewhere like the beach or a park every other day to get them out of the house and get them active. Of course I would pack plenty of healthy snacks and plenty of Juicy Juice boxes to sustain them during our adventures. Now that my oldest is 10 years old, I have found that my children need daily activity. So now we go and do something small every morning. Some days we talk a walk around the neighborhood, we’ll walk to the park or even go to breakfast before doing errands. That way, each of my kids is active every day. We still pack plenty of healthy snacks and plenty of Juicy Juice for our daily adventures!
Just as Meredith Sinclair and Juicy Juice suggests: I always leave plenty of room for Family Time spontaneity! And thanks to Juicy Juice boxes, we’re always hydrated! Head Here For more Juicy Juice 100% Family Time Tips!
What are some of your favorite Family Time during the summer activities?
When my son was in pre-school, he was obsessed with everything that went ’round and round.’ Our daily outings were to: a diner that had a ceiling fan that went ’round and ’round, the gym with stationary bike pedals that went ’round and ’round,’ and the laundromat where the clothes spun in the dryer ’round and ’round.’ Your blog reminded me of those special days.
