Welcome to August and the dog days of summer, where the
fruit gets sweeter and juicer by the day. I love having fresh fruit available
for my family and friends, but I over the years, I’ve noticed that kids won’t
think twice about eating fruit that may or may not be washed. Recently, Arm and
Hammer sent me a fabulous solution; their Fruit & Vegetable Wash along with
two other helpful cleaning essentials I think you are going to love as much as
I do.

Happy August and happy Wordless Wednesday! This post isn't going to be wordless though, since it needs a little explanation. Since I've been on a summer schedule here on the blog, posting about once a week, I thought it would be fun to show you what I've been doing offline besides being with my family.

Hello my friends! I've missed you. I took some much needed time off from writing and creating here to get my family and I prepped for summer, which officially starts tonight. Hello summer! Today I'm seeing red, a beautiful true red inspired from crazy good summer fruit like strawberries and watermelon. Take a look at my Color of the month for June inspiration and collab board below.

Happy Summer! Now that summer has officially arrived, my family and I are on a more relaxed schedule at home and here on the blog, so we will be serving up summer friendly posts, in an easy breezy way all season. Let's kick off our first summer Wordless Wednesday post with some fruit that's in our June Fruit bowl.
Watermelons, nectarines, apples, bananas and grapes have all made an appearance too this month.

I have always enjoyed Dole fruit products, so I was
expecting good quality and great taste when I gave Dole Fruit Parfaits a try
recently. What I wasn't prepared for was the stick my finger in the cup to get
every last drop of goodness out taste!
Readers, be warned: you will want to stock up on all three flavors of the Dole Fruit Parfaits. At just $2.79 per 4 cup package, it won’t break your budget to do so.

About Dole Fruit Parfaits:
Dole Fruit Parfaits are available in three flavors:
Pineapple and Crème, Apples and Crème, Peaches and Crème. Each parfait package
contains 4 grab and go clear cups with easy peel off lids (so your kids can
open them by themselves). This is a plus for me because some fruit cups lids
are hard to open, leading to big messes, even for my bigger kids.
Another plus is that Dole Fruit Parfaits contain all natural
fruit with Vitamin C, are low in fat and sodium and cholesterol free.
And they score high marks on keeping calories
low. The Peaches and Crème cup and the Pineapple and Crème cup have 120
calories per serving and the Apples and Crème has 130 calories per
serving. Please visit www.dole.com for more information.
Here's what the Peaches and Creme Looks like:

My Review:
I love them! My kids love them! My husband loves them!
Seriously. I have never been able to give a 4 point Love to a product before
here on My WAHM Plan, but these fruit Parfaits deserve it.
We have tried all 3 flavors and found them to be a
refreshing treat. None of us had a clear favorite. All 3 flavors will be bought
again!
The fruit is naturally sweet,
like we have come to expect with Dole fruit and the crème is light-tasting, not
heavy. You can serve these parfaits room
temperature, cold, or add them to warm cereals like oatmeal for a quick and
easy way to dress up a morning staple.
Dole Fruit Parfaits are a snack we can feel good about
giving our whole family.
I highly recommend this product.

Beautiful Summer, the season to relax and slow things down. Well, the girls and I slow down. For my hubby- summer is the busiest season of all. Work is abundant. Nobody wants to gut a kitchen right before the holidays now do they?
So our family does things a bit differently. We don’t over-book. We don’t take a week-long vacation. We don’t rush through every day. We allow the word bored to be uttered.
And then we look for simple solutions.
Like:
Enjoying the bounty of summer fruits.
Taking a dip in the pool.
Enjoying summer evenings. Complete with sunsets and fireflies.
Going on weekend Road trips.
In fact, the girls and I are busy researching our next road trip destination. Yep, we are relaxed and living our American Dream. We are thankful to have enjoyed a happy, safe 4th of July at home.
How is your summer going? Are you relaxed and truly enjoying this season?
If not, maybe it’s time to slow things down. Do less. Connect more. I promise, the feeling is well worth the effort!
