What do you do when it's super hot outside? Do you think about drinking a nice cold slurpee from 7 Eleven? July 11 is actually slurpee day. It is very fitting because July is the seventh month and on the eleventh day.
7 Eleven is offering free small slurpees to everyone on slurpee day. Just go in between the hours of 11am to 7pm and ask for your free slurpee. They are gluten free. Remember one per customer. Don't forget to stop in and pick one up.
In 1967, 7 Eleven licensed the slurpee from Icee. Slushed drinks came from when Omar Knedilk had a broken soda machine in the 1950s. He put his soda in the freezer and out came a slushed soda. Customers loved the taste and wanted more. It was then that the slurpee was born!
Rumor has it that the free slurpee is going to be bigger this year. Here is an interesting but random fact: in Australia 6.6 million slurpees are sold each year! Hard to even imagine.,
Slurpees are delicious ice drinks. One can choose from a multitude of flavors. It makes a wonderful treat for a really hot day.
Have fun and take the family!

Camp reminders
Talk to your kids about inappropriate touching of private areas. We hope camp counselors would never touch our children, but you can never be too safe! Talk to them now even if it is uncomfortable. It can save a lifetime of pain.
I started talking about this with Laura as young as 1-2 years old. I bring it up at least three times a year to keep communication open. One thing I always tell her is no matter what anyone does or tells her, to always tell me and I'll take care of it.

At the beach
Don't forget the buckets, shovels, and all the fun plastic sand gear. Beach play is fun, learning experience and wonderful memories. I can still remember playing in the sand as a child. I would "feed the ocean" sand.
Before our summer trip, I bought Laura a complete sand toy set. I didn't tell her until we unpacked in the hotel. She was thrilled and gave me a big kiss!
Ice cream for dinner
Pick one night a summer to have ice cream for dinner. You could go out for ice cream or buy a few flavors with assorted toppings. Make it like a buffet style. Your kids will love it and it will be a wonderful memory!
Laura likes the idea even though she isn't a big ice cream eater.

Children's place
The children's place has a big sale right now. You can get up to 60 percent now and free shipping for one more day. I often buy Laura's clothes at Children's Place especially for her uniforms. The clothes last a long time and great quality.

Sun protection
Using the proper sun protection is so important to baby's and child's skin. There skin is so delicate and new. UV rays are nothing to play with and even ten minutes can burn skin,
Use a high SPF sunscreen on your baby daily. I'd even recommend twice a day if going in and out. Use it more if outside. Don't let your child's skin burn. You don't want them to have skin cancer, premature wrinkles, skin damage and other diseases.
You can also get a hat, sunglasses and bathing suits with SPF.
Huggies vs pampers diapers
It seems like regular Huggies loses with leaks than pampers. Huggies snugglers, however, work comparable to Pampers. Pampers 24 hour work great and hold everything. Don't skimp in diapers because you will end up using more diapers and more laundry.
