4 Ways to End Out Summer Fun

“This post has been sponsored by Sparkling Ice® . All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

The end of Summer is upon us, and there are just a few short weeks left to enjoy the fun of Summer weather. Our family loves being outside (especially the kids), so we are spending a lot of our time with a Sparkling Ice® Water (17 oz Bottles) from Randalls in hand relaxing in our driveway and on the back porch. Spending the evenings outside is just one of the ways we are ending our Summer fun. Check out 4 Ways To End Out Summer Fun, plus here is a great coupon offer below!

 


Sparkling Ice

First up, sipping on Sparkling Ice outside. I love sitting outside with my husband, watching the kids play in the yard or ride their bikes on the driveway, while we drink a Sparkling Ice and just talk. You can make this fun by playing 20 questions, sharing your highs and lows of the day, or even just talking about dreams/goals. This is one of our favorite times together when we get to enjoy the outdoors and one of the best drinks. Sparkling Ice drinks have zero sugar, natural colors and flavors, only 5 calories and real fruit flavor!


Frozen S’mores

Another family favorite is a special Summer twist on S’mores – Frozen S’mores! This is so easy because you don’t need the “heat” of fire in Summer, and they are just as tasty and delicious as traditional s’mores. I grabbed all my ingredients from Randalls – graham crackers, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate chips. All you do is split the graham cracker in half (I used Signature SELECT Honey Graham crackers) so you have a top and bottom for your s’more. Then scoop ice cream onto one of the graham crackers and place the remaining graham cracker on top. Finally, place chocolate chips around the sides of the ice cream to complete your easy, delicious Frozen S’mores.

Outside Dance Party

Bring on the music! Everything is more fun with music, so we we like to bring out our music player outside and listen to tunes or even have a dance party in the driveway. The kids love this so much and think we are the coolest when we do this. It’s just a fun way to spice up the evening.

Family Walk

Another fun thing we do is take a family walk! We grab our Sparkling Ice and go on an adventure. The kids like to play “I Spy” and scavenger hunts along the way, which make it really funny and interesting. We also love being active together, and our neighborhood is really great for a pretty walk looking at the lake.

I hope these helped you spark more ideas to make the end of Summer fun for your family. And, don’t forget, you can hop on the Randalls mobile app and easily shop plus use their coupons for great products like Sparkling Ice and items to make s’mores!

A huge thank you to The Home Depot for believing in creators, creating such a meaningful experience, and making us feel so welcomed every step of the way. The memories, connections, and experiences from this trip are something I’ll carry with me for a very long time.

Grateful beyond words for this opportunity and and so thankful for every brand that trusts me to share their story. 🧡⚽️✨

  • Day 2 of The Home Depot Unmatched 🧡⚽️

We had a full day of hands-on demos and learning about some of the top brands and products in The Home Depot lineup.

We also enjoyed incredible food and ended the day with a dinner celebration that felt like something out of a dream. We were spoiled with gifts, and I left feeling so inspired and excited to bring new ideas to life for all of you.

One of the best parts of this experience has been connecting with such an amazing group of creators and learning from one another along the way. The conversations, encouragement, and shared creativity have made this trip even more special.

A huge thank you to The Home Depot team for creating such an unforgettable experience. 🧡
