Tips for Tuesday: How to Stay Cool

August 2, 2011 Amy Leave a Comment

Wow! It is hot here and we are searching for ways on how to stay cool this summer. It is supposed to be 108 today. This past winter I thought I moved to Minnesota. Now I feel like I have moved to Las Vegas. It is hot. I said I would not complain one day about summer during our week being below 30. That was cold and I am really thinking about those days now. Kinda wishing they were back. It is hot. I think I am going to try to lead a campaign where everyone will exhale at the exact same time and blow this high pressure right outta Dallas. I am not sure that would work, but anything is worth a shot at this point.

How to Stay Cool in the Summer

I have a few tips on keeping cool in this heat and things to do with the kids. First make Popsicles in the flavors your kids love. I have been making some yogurt, strawberry and lime popsicles. Try making your own yogurt at home for clean living. We all love these cool and refreshing popsicles. Here in Frisco we have ‘The Snow Cone Lady’. She makes the most amazing snow cones in the world. We are going to see her again this weekend for a great cool treat with the kids.

Next try taking the kids to a splash park. How to stay cool this summer in a splash park is easy with the cool water. This will cool the kids down and they will have tons of fun. I tend to stay on the outside edge and might walk through a couple of times to cool down myself. 

Today I went to the play area inside the mall and let Little Face play there. He wants to go outside, but it is just too hot. We went outside at 9:00am yesterday morning and he was dripping with sweat within 15 min. There is no humidity here either. It is just hot, hot, hot here in Texas. 

Here are a few ideas I have on how to stay cool. Does anyone have any tips on how to stay cool this summer? I need some. Please link up any tips about home, life, work, kids, family or crafting you would like to share.
