Awesome Summer Fun 101






Being a Mom of 5 in Florida means lots of outdoor play all year round! We do get some cold weather from time to time but it is not out of the ordinary to be swimming in December when most everyone else has snow or cold weather! I have to come up with new ways to play and keep the kids entertained all year round!!  So rather than just show you a few examples, I will instead direct you to my four Pinterest boards that specialize in awesome outdoor play!! The four Pinterest board links that I am providing in this post will be updated with new pins quite often, so bookmark this post and FOLLOW the four Pinterest boards!!  My twins are 5 and my three older kids are 14, 15, and 17 years old.  My twins often have friends over that are 3-5 years old and have younger siblings baby- age 2. So you're getting great ideas from an experience Mom who spends most of the year coming up with fun ideas for her kids to  play outside and have lots of fun!!

  1. This is awesome, thanks! I also am always looking for new/easy to prepare/fun things to keep the kids entertained--I've got 8, ages 1-16! I find it hardest to keep the older ones entertained, especially if/when I try to curb the multimedia entertainment, ahem! Will be bookmarking and checking back!
