How to Make Summer Break a Success

Who else can’t believe that summer break is almost here? This school year seemed to fly by for us. Within a couple of weeks, I will have all three of my babies at home with me for summer. I always love having more time with them and planning a lot of fun things for us to do over these few months. But, I am not going to lie- summer break can get stressful! If your kids are anything like mine, it doesn’t seem to take long for them to get tired of certain things and start asking me what is on the agenda next. It can get hard to dodge the “I’m bored” remarks on some days, but I always try my best to have things planned to keep the boredom to a minimum. I have found some ways that have helped me be less stressed over summer breaks and keep the kids occupied and having fun. Hopefully, some of these ideas will work for you and your family this summer, too!

Get Outdoors

Anyone who has been following me for awhile knows that my family and I love to do things outdoors. That doesn’t mean on a rainy day we won’t pop in a movie and enjoy some snuggling. But, as long as the weather is nice, I try to get my kiddos outside every single day. There is an endless amount of things you can do outside for free or very low cost. I’ve made a list of some of our favorite go to choices!

~Sidewalk Chalk

~Scavenger Hunts

~Flying kites

~Sandbox

~Walking the Neighborhood

~Sprinklers

~Picnic Lunch

 Have Activities on Hand

I try to keep a central location in my house where I can store different activities for the kids to do when we are doing indoor play. You can find most of these items at Target, Amazon or your local dollar store! Pinterest is also always amazing for supplying ideas or printouts,  too! Make sure to follow me to see what cool ideas I have come across and hope to try out this Summer!

~Puzzles

~Reading Books

 Make Plans

Making plans can be tough with three kids. Sometimes you never know what the week is going to bring you. I do think it can be something the kids can have to look forward to and it can help you feel better prepared for that day. We try to have one day a week where we have set plans to do something fun!

 Meal/Snack Prep

Meals can be trickier during the summer since we are on the move a lot and out of our normal routine. I like to try to keep snacking and meal time as healthy as possible all year long. I find I have better success with this when I plan snacks and meals in advance. I like to keep a drawer that is easily accessible to my kids filled with yummy snacks. I check it once a week to see what items we are running low on and fill it back up when needed. This saves me a lot of time having to plan out snacks every day,

 Use Your Resources

Sometimes it can be easy to forget how much your local area has to offer. Make sure you do some research before summer break starts to see what is going on near you. A lot of places have FREE things to do with your kids every day. Our local movie theater offers extremely low cost old movies. Even though it’s a movie my kids might have already seen, there is something special about seeing it in a theater. We also love to go to the public library for story time!

 Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help

Summer break can be a lot of fun, but it can also be stressful. It isn’t always easy to come up with things to do every single day, all day long. I love this time with my kids, but I can start to feel burnt out at times. It is OK to ask for help! Reach out to your Mom friends and plan some things together. It can help having another adult to get through the day and laugh with. Have Dad take over a day while you run errands alone or take a long nap! Plan sleepovers at home and away so you can have some time to yourself to recharge. Remember, it is always important to have self care so you can feel your best!

Summer is More Fun with FabFitFun!

There are so many things I love everything about summer—warm days full of sunshine, afternoons at the pool, flowers in bloom, snow cones—I could go on for days. But one of my favorite things is the colorful new FabFitFun package that lands on my doorstep because to me, that means summer is here! I’m partnering with FabFitFun to show you what’s in their new summer box and to give you a gift code for $10 off your first box!

Use the code KKBLOG here.

Summer Is More Fun with FabFitFun!

FabFitFun is a seasonal subscription box that I’ve been getting for a few years now. It’s like getting the coolest gift on your doorstep four times a year. (Who doesn’t love gifts?)

Each box is packed to the brim with full-size fashion, beauty, fitness and lifestyle products. It’s the best surprise ever! Every box is beautifully designed to make your day.

Every single FabFitFun box is worth over $200, but you only pay $39.99 with the code KKBLOG. That’s a crazy bargain!

This is the summer box; let me show you what’s inside.

Inside the Summer Box:

Every season I think, This is my favorite box yet, and this season is no exception. Check out all of these high-end goodies!

My sister has been raving about this Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (plus, it has the best name!). There’s also the SOL Janeiro Brazilian shower cream gel, Grace & Stella Spray All Day rose spray, the coolest silicone wine glasses (yep, they are squishy!), and more.

I can’t want to try the 111Skin moisturizing mask because my face tends to get dried out in the summer.

The thing I love about FabFitFun is that it lets me try out all kinds of new and popular beauty  and lifestyle that I normally wouldn’t for a fraction of the price. It’s such a fun thing to find on your doorstep.

Wanna try it? I promise, you’ll love it! Get your first FabFitFun box for $10 off with the code KKBLOG. You can customize some of the items in your box so hop over there and check out all the options. (There was a gorgeous lotus beach towel that I eyed, along with a fun letter board.) You’ll have a tough time choosing like I did.

Again, many of the items in this box are worth more than the ENTIRE BOX combined! It’s a great deal, a fun surprise to gift yourself or a friend, and a lot of times I end up sharing some of my FabFitFun goodies with my girlfriends for birthdays.

So go ahead…give FabFitFun a try! Use the code KKBLOG to get $10 off for an even more amazing deal on a fun summer box!

Beauty Trends Making a Comeback in 2019

Even though I always appreciate an organized and clean house, I find myself struggling when it comes to throwing out anything fashion or beauty related. I’ve heard the rule that if you don’t use something within a couple of years, it’s time to trash it or donate it. But, not only does going through my old clothes, accessories and makeup give me all of the feels, it also doesn’t make sense to me to throw some of my old stuff out. I’ve found in the fashion world almost everything makes a comeback at some point (although I’m sure we are crossing our fingers that some of our “what were we thinking moments” will stay gone). 2019 has been going full force in bringing back styles that have been MIA and I’m loving it! Who doesn’t like a good comeback? Check out what has been trending so far this year- did you happen to hold onto any of these things? I know I kept a few and I’m so glad I did! Now I can try to convince my hubby that it’s just me being thrifty and not being overly sentimental! 😉

Bob Haircuts

Bob haircuts have made a major comeback lately and with good reason. They are super cute and perfect for summer time. I’ve saved a couple of my favorite looks to my Pinterest page below.

Overalls

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- I love a good pair of overalls! They are cute, comfy and stylish. I love that there are so many different ones to choose from- short, long, distressed, different colors, etc. I’m really loving these short ones for the upcoming warm weather.

Black Distressed Overalls

Denim Overalls

Press On Nails

Press on nails are back and better than ever! You guys have probably seen my videos on Facebook of this brand of nails that I’ve fallen in love with. They have the best colors to choose from and last for over a week!

Hair Clips, Scrunchies and Claw Clips 

I’m always on the hunt for cute hair accessories and I’m so glad these styles are coming back in full force. These simple scrunchies and clips are so much fun and add a little extra bling to your style. Plus, they are super affordable and easy to use!

AE Scrunchies

Animal Print Claw Clips

Hair Clip Variety

Fanny Packs/Belt Bags 

Fanny packs get a bad rep. Change the name to a belt bag, and people go crazy! Belt bags really are a practical way to store your essentials when your out and about for the day and want to pack light. These bags are popping up everywhere and are cuter than ever!

Leather Coach Belt Bag

Brown Lips 

Brown lips are one of the most requested makeup looks from celebs at the moment. They are neutral, subtle, and so pretty. This brown lipstick shade from Ulta is getting great reviews!

Matte Lipstick

Round Sunglasses 

Sunglasses are not only a practical accessory everyone should own, but they can help make an outfit. Round sunglasses have been popping up everywhere this year. There are so many options when picking out your perfect pair- you’re sure to find something you love!
