Sweet sunshine and clear skies – summertime means getting out of the house and enjoying the beautiful warm weather the season brings. But are you making the most of it? Here are 5 tips to ensure that you’re spending your summer in style!<\/p>\n\n\n

Waste Some Time<\/h2>\n\n\n

Sometimes it’s important to take some time to do… well… nothing! Be sure to set some time aside to relax and unwind in a meaningful way in your busy schedule. You could read a book, give a friend a call, or even take a nap on your outdoor furniture<\/a> underneath your patio umbrella! After all, time isn’t wasted when it’s spent doing something you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n

Put Down the Devices<\/h2>\n\n\n

We’re all guilty of spending too much time looking at screens all day. In fact, the average US adult spends 3 hours and 43 minutes on their devices per day! Put down the devices and take advantage of the warm weather by fishing<\/a>, kayaking<\/a>, or dipping your toes in the pool<\/a>. For those looking for a little more excitement, you can always bring out the water blasters<\/a> or water balloons<\/a> for some extra summer fun!<\/p>\n\n\n

Become a Grill Master<\/h2>\n\n\n

What kind of summer blog would this be if we didn’t suggest firing up the grill<\/a> and spending some time in your backyard or on your patio<\/a>? Invite some friends and family over and show off your grilling skills with any of these delicious wing<\/a> recipes or by throwing a rub or marinade<\/a> on your favorite meat or veggies. Did you know you can even use your gas grill as a smoker<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n

Plan a Trip<\/h2>\n\n\n

A trip can mean many things to many people, but we encourage you to set some time aside to grab the people you love and do something adventurous! Whether you choose to go camping<\/a>, hiking<\/a>, road trip, or travel somewhere tropical, we know you won’t regret it. Another great option is having a staycation by pitching a tent<\/a> and enjoying a campfire<\/a> in your own backyard!<\/p>\n\n\n

Prepare for Fall<\/h2>\n\n\n

Take advantage of summer break and get ahead of the ball by preparing for fall! Make a list of projects you’d like to finish outside before colder weather arrives, such as touching up your lawn with a late fall fertilizer<\/a>. Prepare for the school year and avoid the back-to-school frenzy by getting your school supplies<\/a>, clothes<\/a>, shoes<\/a>, and more at your local Blain’s Farm & Fleet. A well-spent summer will set you up for a fantastic fall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
