The dog days of summer are
upon us and most of America is experiencing a major heat wave. When it gets this hot, even a dip in the pool
doesn’t sound as refreshing as staying indoors with the AC on. To combat boredom
during these long summer days, our family enjoys playing video games together; but
we need to upgrade our gaming system and accessories badly.
My thanks to today's post sponsor, Groupon. While I will receive compensation as a thank you for my time, I only share products/services I feel will benefit my readers. All opinions are mine.
My husband is more of a gamer
than I am, but I do like playing Zelda and Mario Brothers with my girls.
However, now that they are older and are more experienced gamers, their skill
levels outpace mine. We were talking about which games we liked over dinner
recently and we all agreed, we had to get serious about our gaming system
upgrade. We’ve been watching out for a great deal on the Xbox One system and
luckily just learned that we can save a bunch by shopping with Groupon Goods!
Most of the time we use Groupon
for food and entertainment savings, so we were pleasantly surprised at the
variety of high quality games, controllers, systems and more you can find when
you check out the video game section at Groupon. It’s easy to find. Just go to
the Groupon site, then Goods and then look for video games under Popular categories.
My husband discovered he could purchase the Nyko Xbox One Controller Charge Base for just $21.99! This cool charger
keeps your controllers ready to play with a dual-port dock that can charge two
controllers at once, which is perfect for playing multi-player games on a
family fun Friday night.
If your gaming system needs an upgrade too, I invite you to
head on over to Groupon Goods and get shopping, or at least dreaming of the
upgrades you want!

Whether it's your local county fair, or big state fair- the season for all things fair is upon us!
Here's a few pics from our previous visits to Tennessee fairs. I'll be sharing more from this season soon.
Happy fair season! Stay cool and hydrated out there!
Ah, Summer! How we love you. When you aren’t here we dream
of your warm days and perfect star filled nights. We long for juicy peaches and
messy popsicles. July is half over and we still happily look forward to summertime fun like swimming, taking road trips, picnics at the park, family cookouts, gardening, morning trips through the farmer's market and bonfires, just to name a few. The
one thing we don’t plan and dream of is summer chores. Today I'm sharing 15 chores you can tackle in 15 minutes or less to help you get back to enjoying this amazing season quickly.
I don’t know about you, but at my house, once the kids are
out of school my chore time increases. From sticky kitchen tables and counters
to the ever present need to sweep up tracked in grass and dirt, I felt like I
could not keep up until I made this one simple change.
When I'm home, I take a break from work every 30 minutes or so and do a
quick chore. Taking these mini-breaks helps me be more productive, helps
increase my energy while decreasing my seat time and helps lessen my chore list
when I do switch gears and stop working for the day. You’d be surprised how
much you can get done in 10 - 15 minutes!
Here are 15 quick chores that I do. Feel free to copy my
list to get you started.
- Fold a load of laundry, put it away and start a new one.
- Sweep the kitchen and mud room floor.
- Wipe down bathroom counters and mirrors.
- Water plants on front porch.
- Clean out trash in car.
- Go through mail and recycle junk mail.
- Dead head flowers and pinch back herbs.
- Check pantry supplies for weekly meal plan.
- Dust a room and put away discarded items.
- Unload dishwasher.
- Wipe down kitchen table and chairs.
- Clean out Frig drawers or organize shelves.
- Clean photo frames in the hall.
- Update coupons.
- Wipe down glass doors.
If you work away from home all day, you can still use this
list to tackle your chores. Taking a break every 30 minutes to do something you
enjoy like sipping a cool drink while reading will help you feel re-energized
once you do return to your chore list.
Be sure to delegate some of your chores to your kids if they
are old enough and especially if they find you mid-task and tell you they are
bored! I always find a task my daughters can handle. Just remember to be good
to yourself and step away from work too so you can fully enjoy this special
season.
