Summer Fun Guide!

Finally, we are experiencing some warmer weather in Delaware! At the first sign of sun each year, my kids beg me to get all the outside toys out of the basement. We love spending time outside in the warm weather. Last year we had our deck finally outfitted with some furniture and it quickly became the hang out space!

We love our deck furniture! It's sunbrella fabric, easy to wash off and dries really quickly after rain. Similar deck sofa , similar deck set,  Similar umbrella

The kids really enjoy all things water, playing with water toys and swimming. 

I really like the toys pictured here because multiple kids can play with them together! No fighting it a key component of summer fun (well, for this mom at least). The Step 2 WaterFall Discovery Wall Playset is a lot of fun! Each kid can use a side, and there are attachments that plug into holes in the wall to create different waterfalls. The kids pour the water in the top and then see how it falls. The water collects in the bottom and is ready to be poured again. It comes with 13 pieces to keep kids busy! The water tables we have are the Step 2 Big Splash Waterpark Table and the  Little Tikes Anchors Away The splash water park table is smaller and a better fit at the grandparents house. All 3 kids play with it though (ages 1-4). I recommend it for smaller spaces and smaller kids. The anchor table is big enough for a kid to sit in. My son climbs right in like it's his own little pool. It also has a squirt gun and a pump so that water can flow to the top and overfill and splash down into the boat. Both come with accessories. 



When the kids do need to move around, we have some favorite transportation picks. The Step 2 Wagon for Two  is easy to pull and fits two kids easily with some room in the middle for all the blankets they need on their walk even in the summer heat. Perfect for when we visit grandparents in the city and decide on a walk to the park. My son at 1 could easily get around on his classic Radio Flyer Trike when he has to make the round during block parties. I think this bike is best for 1-2 year olds.



There are times my kids need to run around and get a lot of energy out. They keep busy cutting the grass with their toy lawn mower or get out energy on their Little Tikes  Rock Climber and Slides.   



When we are ready to beat the heat, don't jump into the pool without a puddle jumper! These are the best for kids who are learning how to swim and are not content with being held in the pool. All family members love to swim in this house, even the dog! He's like a little lifeguard that needs to keep an eye on the kids. 


 If your little ones are too little for the pool, consider something like this. We actually have been able to grab one last year and this year at TJMaxx for around $5. Similar to the item here:

  The Nordstrom anniversary sale went live today for card holders to access the sale before the general public. The sale opens to the public on July 15th, but you can still preview the sale online and add items to your wish list!  It’s a rainy day here in Delaware, so my daughter and I decided to check out the sale in store and here are some of the kids items we snagged during the early access sale:  Boys : The North face Peril Glacier is an item I buy about every other year during the sale, and we’ve just been sizing up! This is a toddler size item so it goes up to 6T. If you have older boys check out the other north face options in bigger sizes . The Nike star runner 3 sneaker for my little guy is perfect because it’s lightweight mesh and has a Velcro closure. Toddler and little kid sizes for this one!  The Quicksilver kids rainy season long-sleeve cotton graphic tee comes in sizes from toddler to big boy it’s a great item for a rainy summer day like today, th...

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is just days away for early access!  Cardmembers  can access the sale Friday, July 12th with public access starting on July 19th. The sale runs until August 4th and after that date, prices increase. Find all the details here! I love this sale because by this time of year I'm planning for fall and back to school clothes for the kids. This sale is different than other sales going on now because it's fall and winter items, not just a sale on summer styles. All categories include select items that are part of the sale. You can shop the sale in store and online . In store, the selection is more limited vs. online, but you get to try and see the items, so that is a bonus. Last year was my first year shopping in store and I made an appointment with a personal stylist to help me out and to navigate the sale. Each section of the store has a subsection just for the sale items. They are easy to spot and navigate through. You will only be able to purch...
