Summer Dreaming: Warm Up with These Hot Deals

Lori Uncategorized

Summer DreamingTurning the thermostat up to 71 degrees and switching the fireplace on this afternoon has me dreaming about summer. The warm days, the lack of laundry because the kids live in bathing suits, drinks on patios, weekend camping trips - you know what I’m saying?

These thoughts of summer are what’s keeping me going - and I wanted to share some of the things on my list to make summer better, you know, some summer dreaming. Here it goes:

Hamilton Beach Ice Shaver
If you stop for slushies a few times in the summer months, you know how expensive slushies and slushie drinks can be. Why not create your own slushie syrup at-home, and top shaved ice that you made in moments? You can get the Hamilton Beach ice shaver for $44, and you can bet that it’s going to get a workout during the summer. Get it now, while the sales are as hot as those summer days are going to be.

Kidkraft Sling Chair
We’ve used these chairs throughout the summer. At the end of the season, I gave the chairs a quick hose down with a pressure washer, and they’re ready to go for the next season. The durable and sturdy design, and affordable price means that we’re not going to be buying new chairs a few times a year as those plastic legs eventually break (and become a hazard). You can get the Kidkraft Sling Chair at Best Buy for $40, taking advantage of the free shipping. They’re well worth it, since they are the only kids chairs you’re going to buy, perfect for ages one to six.

Kidkraft Outdoor Kids Patio Set
This has been on my list for the last couple of years and this year it might just make its way into our back yard this year. We’ve got the matching chairs for the line, and how adorable would this be for those little kid lunches outside? The real wood and easily washed cushions are swaying me, especially since the sling chairs have fared so well over the course of the past two seasons. You can buy it the Kids Patio set on Amazon.

Hawaii Collection by OPI
Available now, you’re going to want to grab a few of these shades for summer pedicures. One of my favorite shades in the collection is the bright purple that reminds me of island days, lost my bikini in molokini and pineapples have peelings too. You can find these at your favorite salon store (I shop for OPI at Chatters) and get a little update with one of the twelve bottles from the fabulous collection that will have you dreaming of slushie drinks and days at the beach .

Zoku Slush Maker
If we’re going to any birthday parties that are remotely close to summer, we’re going to give the Slushie maker from Zoku. Though it takes a bit longer to make slushies than the Hamilton Beach Ice Shaver, it’s a fun way for the kids to work for it a little. We have two that we stash in the freezer for those times when the kids want to make slushies out of the regular drinks they’re eating with dinner, or lunch. They’re perfect for a hot day, as you scrape the slush from the sides until the entire glass is filled with delicious slush.

Hammock Chair
You probably know about the must haves when you’re heading to the campground for the weekend: the tent, the barbecue, the sleeping bags. What about the fun stuff though? This Hammock chair is only $65 on the Costco website and it would be the perfect addition to the weekend away, or somewhere comfortable to sit on the front porch as you sip on slushie beverages and watch the kids play. You can buy the Hammock Chair at Costco, for $65.99.
