Always wear sunscreen when going outdoors.
Use LOTS of sunscreen! You may want that tan to make you look good but if you end up with skin cancer, it won’t look so good anymore!
Thanks for the great giveaway!

Hang a dryer sheet on your waist to keepbugs away-I also hang one from my umbrell handle- works great
After a nasty bout of poisin ivy, I am learning to be more cautious & aware and teaching the kids to be also.
Prepare your own meals… and summer time is the prime time! Given the economics and the way food establishment employee’s (often part-time teenage help) desecrate your food – note: bugs are the least of your concerns – it’s more than common sense to eat at home.
Take snacks, we are out a lot during the summer, and fast food can add up quick. Oh, and drink a lot of water!

I have you faved in technorati, mom2anutball!
keep hydrated ty
The best summer tip I have is use bug repellent. Especially where we live with west nile virus being so prevalent it’s really important.
My favorite summer tip is to relax! and enjoy, it goes by much too fast.

Wear pants and long sleeved shirts when walking in the woods to help keep the ticks off your body.
i read somewhere that you take a dish of joy lemon dish detergent and put it away from the party and the mosquitoes are drawn to that and fall in…hey it works! have fun
drink lots and lots of water
I keep watermelon chunks in the freezer for a nice cool snack for the kids.It is a great alternative to sugary popsicles.Thanks!
To eat outside! It is so much easier to hose off the sitting area (and the kids) rather than wiping up, sweeping, mopping and bathing!
.-= Lori Z.´s last blog ..A Vacation from Vacation =-.
Frozen grapes (and other fruit) make great snacks on hot days and are much healthier than popsicles and candy.
Also, freeze iced tea or lemonade in ice cube trays to use in those drinks, will keep them cold without watering them down
I always carry sunscreen, water and snacks with me in the summer. The sunscreen protects our skin. The water hydrates us. The snacks nourish us. The sun and heat will wreak havoc if you’re not careful.

I love sangria, but it always loses flavor when the ice melts. Instead of adding juice to the wine, I freeze juice into ice cubes and pop a couple in before guests arrive. Then I serve them their drinks with a couple extra cubes and some fresh fruit! Keeps the drink from watering down and the colored cubes add interest!

My favorite summer tip is drink lots and lots of water to stay hydrated.
Each family member has their own reusable water bottle and all are filled with mostly ice and a small amount of water prior to any outing.
Always drink lots of water and carry GERM-X!!!
A summer tip is to freeze juice boxes/water bottles before going out so they are still icy cold by the time youre ready to drink them

Keep plenty of water on hand for the kiddos!

I often can my own foods and dehyrate others so
‘i can be really sure of what my family is eating.
Favorite summer tip: Wear the least amount of clothes you can get away with to stay cool!
.-= Kristi´s last blog ..Your lovin’ can’t pay my bills, I need money! =-.
My favorite summer tip is to limit exposure outside to the sun.
I keep a constant supply of Bourbon Slush in the freezer for a cool down without having to make extra drinks. It’s easy and quick.
use sunscreen every day
Plan activities befroe 10am and after 5pm to avoid heat and sun exposure.
have a backpack with water change of clothes and first aid kit thanks eaglesforjack@gmail.com
i subscribe to your blog thanks
My favorite summer tip is to “wear sunscreen”! This is so very important for everyone, from the young to the old.
Take summer as ‘relaxing time’ to enjoy with your kids. Take it a little easier. And yeah, bug spray and sunscreen for those activities!
Follow you on twitter and just tweeted! http://twitter.com/soundofsilence7/statuses/2637034910
Slow down.enjoy the moment.Carry water and wear sunscreen
Put on your sunscreen as soon as you get out of the shower so there’s no chance to forget when you are rushing out the door.
