1.Pic’s Peanut Butter: We love to try new foods over the summer. Peanut butter is a staple in our household. The Pics peanut butter is one of the best natural peanut butters we have ever tried. The ingredients are peanuts and salt, a perfect combination of 2 ingredients. If you like natural peanut butter without all the oil on top, this might be a perfect find. The slug, single serve packs are perfect to pop in the lunch box for a high protein snack. You can find Pic’s on Amazon here. Add Pic’s really good peanut butter to an apple, banana bread, or a slice of toasted sourdough bread, yum!

Munk packs oatmeal fruit squeeze, on the go snack, healthy snack, lunch box snack

3.Munk Pack Oatmeal Fruit Squeezers: I am always looking for a delicious on the go snack for the kids. These squeeze packs are great to pack in a lunch box or a travel bag. These oatmeal fruit squeezers taste great and are gluten-free, made with whole grains and are vegan. They come in 5 delicious flavors and are a great source of Omega 3s and fiber. These are a great on-the-go breakfast when you are in a rush! I love that all the ingredients are verified Non-GMO and they have no added sugar.

iphone x, iphone x from verizon, iphone x makes a great gift

4.iPhone X from Verizon: Summertime is the best time to upgrade your cell phone and learn how to use a new electronic device. Your kids are likely not in school and can help you figure out all the features of your new phone. The iPhone X from Verizon is a phenomenal phone. Understanding how to use an iPhone is very intuitive. If my Mom can understand how it works, so can you. We tested an iPhone X this past month and these are our favorite features so far:

  • Face ID: When you look at the screen, it is so easy to just open the phone with a flick of your finger. Face ID can also log you into certain websites. How cool is that?
  • Switching between apps is seamless and takes seconds, and so does the opening and closing of apps.
  • One handed keyboard is awesome for those of us who love to text.
  • Games in iMessages are so much fun and a great way to communicate with quiet teens or relatives who live far away.
  • Easy to access the camera quickly. With a swipe to the left on the home screen, you can have your camera open in seconds.
  • The camera takes incredible photos and videos with fancy lighting, editing, and even a stage spotlight. The camera and video camera on the iPhone X are spectacular. Your photos will come out looking like you used a professional camera.
  • Speakers are loud and the screen is crisp so watching movies on your phone is an enjoyable experience, especially when you are away from home.
  • Screenshots and editing photos is a breeze.
  • Verizon network is powerful. The 4G has not faltered and can host a powerful hotspot as well. I highly recommend the Verizon network in the DC metro area. We have had excellent connectivity.

gizmotab from verizon, kids tablet, verizon 4G network, kids learning apps loaded on, kids earn free play time, can also be used by parents as a regular tablet

 

5.GizmoTab from Verizon: If you are traveling this summer and you have children, you really need to buy a GizmoTab from Verizon. This tablet is so nice to take on a trip. My daughter tested one on the train from DC to Boston. She played math and spelling games, watched a movie, and took some cute photos. Never once did she say she was bored, or lose connection. The best features of the GizmoTab that we found were:

  • The sturdy case keeps the tablet safe from inevitable falls and drops.
  • Over 300 apps are preloaded and your children can have different profiles, along with age-appropriate learning apps.
  • Parental controls dictate how long each child can play, and how much free play they earn. Parental controls can also keep the child from being able to access anything except the learning apps.
  • You can program up to 3 children with 3 different learning profiles per tablet.
  • Aimed at ages 3-8 but my daughter who is a bit older learned a lot and enjoyed the games and apps.
  • You can download apps from the Google Play store for your child or for you. Kids can play learning games during the day, and you can watch Netflix at night.
  • Verizon connectivity was excellent up and down the East Coast.

5 snacks to try this summer including Waterloo Waters, Bokksu Japanese Box, Jordan's Skinny MIxes, Softer than Brittle and Simply Sunrise healthier candies

6. Summer is all about trying new Snacks! I love to find healthier snacks that my kids can enjoy. These 5 snacks were delicious and healthier for you.

  1. Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Pumpkin line is awesome. All of these products have zero sugar and flavor your coffee. These sugar-free gourmet mixes add tons of flavor without any of the extra calories. The mixes come in syrups and foams and also in other flavors.
  2. Bokksu: My second oldest son is a Japanese major in college. He has never been to Japan and he is fascinated by all the snacks they eat there. The Bokksu box is such a cool concept. It is a monthly box that is filled with genuine Japanese treats. Each box has a theme and the authentic treats are so much fun to discover. My son loved reading the Japanese words on each item and tried to figure out what they were. This month was a citrus theme and each treat had some kind of citrus in it. We even learned about a Japanese citrus fruit called the Shiquasa, which is a flat lemon. If you have any interest in Japan or Japanese foods the Bokksu box is a wonderful surprise in the mail each month.
  3. Waterloo Waters: We love flavored waters! No sugar, salt or calories A bigger flavor and better ingredients makes Waterloo waters a delight. 8 delicious flavors with a hint of real fruit flavor. Our favorite flavors were watermelon, mango, and lemon. It is hard to find zero calorie beverages without Splenda, artificial colors, or artificial flavors. Waterloo sparkling waters are a great way to celebrate summer.
  4. Softer than Brittle candy: It is hard to tell you how much my family loved the Softer then Brittle candy. To be honest, we do not eat much candy at all. I am quite picky about the candies I allow in our house. When I do allow candy, it has to be pretty special. Softer than Brittle is a really unique candy. It is a flaky consistency with a delicious flavor. This brand uses healthier ingredients and only 6-7 ingredients total. Each of the flavors does include nuts, so be careful if you have any nut sensitivity or allergies. This candy is also gluten free, kosher, dairy-free and vegan! The name of this candy is perfect, it is much softer than peanut brittle but has all the lovely characteristics of a brittle without breaking your teeth on each piece. You can find Softer than Brittle on Amazon here.
  5. Simply Sunrise Candy: These candies come in fun flavors and shapes. Sour neon worms, gummy bears, peach rings, and lots more. This entire line of candy is peanut free, gluten free and dairy free. It is made with no artificial flavors, no synthetic colors, and is mostly healthy. Yes, it is a candy with lots of sugar, but it is much better for your kids than regular candy. My kids loved the peach rings best! You can find Simply Sunrise on Amazon here.

Clean Well antibacterial spray, keep germs away, keep hands clean, perfect for lunch boxes

7.Clean Well hand sanitizer: This natural hand sanitizer is always in my purse, the kid’s backpacks, and in their lunch boxes. Keeping germs off our hands before eating is really important. This spray kills germs naturally. The orange vanilla flavor smells so good, not like your typical hand sanitizer. The Clean Well sanitizer smells better because it is made from a botanical formula.

Arctic Zero ice cream, light ice cream, eat the whole pint,

8.Arctic Zero Ice Cream: This lighter ice cream comes in 7 awesome flavors. Each pint is between 280 and 360 calories. I love when the ice cream pint lists the calories for the whole pint because often members of my family eat the entire pint in one sitting. These pints are lower in calorie than most ice creams and are made with clean ingredients. Every single flavor was delicious and a few fights might have broken out over the peanut butter and chocolate cookies flavor. If you are craving ice cream but do not want all the fat and calories in regular ice cream, give the Arctic Zero light ice cream a try.

singing machine, karaoke at home for kids, bluetooth karaoke machine. fun summer indoor activity

9. Singing Machine, Karaoke Machine: I need a lot of fun indoor projects for the kids to do when it is too hot or rainy outside. The Singing Machine works with Bluetooth so you can stream songs from your devices. The glowing karaoke machine keeps the kids smiling while they are singing. We have had many fun singing parties this summer and you should too!
