If your summer is anything like mine, it’s HOT OUTSIDE!! My kids are constantly begging me to take them somewhere to go swimming, set up the sprinklers outside, or go to the local splash pad. Anything to be able to get wet with cold water! I decided to do a little research and track down the coolest and BEST rated products that are all about water fun for kids! …and, maybe adults too.
Hey Everyone, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. If your summer is anything like mine it is full of road trips! One of my family’s favorite go-to road trip games is “Would you rather?” It can keep my kids entertained, chatting and laughing for miles and miles. I thought it would be fun to make a Disney version of the game for our Disneyland road trip, and sure enough, it was a hit! Since my family had so much fun, I thought I’d share it with you so you can make your own.
I’m always wanting to make learning fun and interesting so my son will actually get through it without complaining. Since we struggled throughout the school year, I wanted to make sure we practiced during the summer so he doesn’t fall behind once he starts 1st grade next year. Since he does enjoy math, I decided to come up with some printable math worksheets we could do this summer.
Hey friends! It’s no secret that I LOVE shopping. More specifically, I love finding gifts for people. Hence, the major collection of gift ideas on the blog (See Gift Idea Central.) Soooo…. I thought, why not try picking some gifts for YOU?? I’ll have you tell me about yourself with 10 words and whoever wins…
Who remembers and loves color by number? Some of my earliest memories as a little girl are of me waking up WAY before my parents were wanting to, and my mom handing me the crayons and coloring books. I still remember my preschool-aged little self sitting in the dimly lit, quiet house coloring while everyone else slept. Funny how things stick with you. I’m still an early-riser, and I still LOVE to color!
I think sometimes we over-complicate what life is all about. If we were to boil life down to one main purpose, it would be to learn to love one another. To learn to love like God loves. Without reservation, without conditions, without judgement. To learn to love. To really love. And to treat each other accordingly. That’s it. But how do we accomplish this? Read on to see some suggestions.
Let’s be honest here, my first visit to Build-A-Bear with my little girls was as much of a dream for me, as it was for them. Who’s with me?!? That place is ooooozing with cuteness and fun. So, when they asked me to do a sponsored blog post for them, I was all over it! AND, here’s the deal… Build-A-Bear just got even better with the introduction of the Honey Girls, namely Teegan, Risa, and Viv. These girls have it going on, in several ways, and you can find them at Build-A-Bear online July 8th and in stores July 10th!

I don’t know about you guys but at our house during summer break, we love getting our craft on!
To kick off our summer crafting fun, we decided to make some whimsical little animal necklaces. Its a simple, kid-friendly project that you can help them make in under an hour! They also make great gifts!
This is a fun activity that you can play any time, but because Father’s Day is coming, I thought I’d put a fun spin on it. It’s a game that is typically called “Don’t Eat Pete”, and we love it. It’s a great game for ALL AGES, which is always a huge bonus. For Father’s Day we’ve changed the name to “Don’t Eat Dad”.
I am currently about 20 weeks pregnant with our first baby and I am kind of really excited to celebrate my husband this Father’s Day. We find out if it is a boy or a girl the day after so pretty much his greatest gift will come a day late but I am excited to give him a few things as a thank you for putting up with my pregnant aversion to all things meat. Poor guy eats a lot of salad and fast food burgers right now.
My husband is a quiet guy, more of an observer and is really easy going. That is a great thing except when it comes to giving gifts…
Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today. In my opinion, the only thing better than a summer day is a summer night.

So I’ve pulled together some tips for summer nights at Disneyland that I hope will help you have a great trip!
