Hello everyone! My name is Camila and I’m super excited to be the new voice of the K105 Station Blog.
I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself to break-the-ice and help us get more acquainted. I come from a BIG family of 7 girls. I live on a farm. I was home schooled for the majority of my schooling, so family is very very important to me. I love animals, crafts, and expressing myself. I love music and have played piano for over 10 years. I look forward to sharing more about myself and some awesome tips/ideas to stir-up your creativity!
My favorite summer memories from my childhood are the ones I’ve spent with my family. Because I have such a large family, we never really went on “Summer Vacation” or to amusement parks during the summer. Instead, We would stay at home and spend quality time together in a more affordable way. Whether it was using chalk to draw masterpieces on the sidewalk, sliding down a hill on our homemade slip-n-slide, or hosting an outdoor movie night with friends. We would always have a blast every time. I think it’s good for families to spend time getting to know each other better without the distraction of work, school, and everyday life.
Recently, I’ve been searching for some fun activities/crafts to do before the summer is over. I’ve been looking all over Pinterest and other websites.. and I’d say I have found some pretty great suggestions. So I thought it would share with you a few of the awesome ideas I found!
Kiddie pool stargazing in your backyard.
Spend time with your family enjoying the stars comfortably.. by turning your inflatable kiddie pool into a luxurious grass/bug free sitting area.
Build a bonfire.
Gather up the kiddos and throw a bonfire bash. Enjoy time talking, singing, and making s’more around the fire.
Whip up squirtable chalk.
Imagine being able to play with chalk, without the messy/chalky hands. You can make Squirty Chalk with just a few items from you kitchen. All you need is corn starch, baking soda, food coloring, and vinegar!
Host a neighborhood potluck.
A potluck is an affordable way for your family and friends to get together to catch up and socialize. All you have to do is provide the main dish!
Make your own Water Blob.
Move over, sprinklers. This great idea uses plastic sheeting and duct tape to create a bubble of water your kids can run, jump, and roll around on.
Make an aquarium.
These super cute homemade aquariums are a great way to bring the beach to you!
Host an outdoor movie night.
Make your own DIY Movie Screen! Nothing is better than sitting under the stars enjoying a movie together.
I hope these ideas give you some inspiration! I know I’ll definitely be trying a few of these before the summer is over. Will you? Leave a comment telling me which of these ideas you like the most.. or tell me one of your favorite summertime memories!
Until next time!
