I'm getting super excited about Christmas over here. Side note, we are moving in into a new house (screams of excitement) and I'm desperate to start packing and start decorating our new place.

So, like I was saying, Christmas is just around the corner and with all the gifts shopping and decoration things can get a little stressful. 

Usually, our Christmas shopping starts around this time of year,  because we need plenty of time to shop for the 100 siblings my husband has (exaggerating) but really the list keeps going and going...

So as you can imagine the stress level gets a little too much on my shoulders. So what a girl to do??

Relax with a Sparkling Ice’s pomegranate and blackberry sangria of course!

This drink is sooo good and refreshing, it's like opening a present on Christmas morning 😍 it will make you feel really happy inside and out. 

Come on girls lets add a little fizz to your holiday festivities. While you're shopping grab some Sparkling Ice because it’s fizzy, it tastes delicious, and you can drink it all day without getting bored in the least.

Sparkling Ice’s pomegranate and blackberry sangria 

I used a combination of two different flavors, Sparkling Ice’s Pink Grapefruit and Sparkling Ice’s Black Raspberry. I added a mix of fresh berries and pomegranate and a dash of red wine Merlot.

Now, let me tell you this was one delicious sangria. Good thing a bought a few extra bottles of Sparkling Ice’s

We are a pretty active family. My kids have lots of activities during the school days. Lots of projects, homework, school sports, tryouts, presentations, schools dances, etc.  And then, we have the after school sports, of course. Taekwondo for my kiddo and he loves playing soccer, and pretty much everything he can think of, he wants to do. That's their "thing" you know, they like to participate in every school activity they can, and of course, I support them. (proud momma here)

But finally, summer school break is here and we are ready to throw out the books and the backpacks, forget about projects and homework, we are ready to have some fun in the sun. I want to have some fun with my family, lots of activities and playing outside. Enjoying every day and moment with my love ones.

So how do we have lots of family activities and how do I actually entertain the kids? 

Don't worry, there are ways to entertain the kids this summer. There are many options for summer activities that we can carry out and you know what momma, they don't have to be expensive, in fact, there are many options that are totally free. I'll share with you some tips my family has implemented to have fun during school summer vacations.

First of all, learn what your kid(s) like to do. You know, learn what's their 'Thing" 

Do they love the outdoors? Do they enjoy books? Are they happy chasing a ball? Do they like surfing the waves?  That's the key to knowing how to entertain them this summer.

Do you have a patio? Make a camp

Even if you are only in your backyard, doing a camp in your yard is an experience that every child is excited about, and absolutely will enjoy.  Let them learn the whole experience of a camp, have them build the tent, make them carry a lamp, sleeping bag, snacks if they get hungry, with your help they can prepare smore's, Prepare a cooler with refreshing drinks like Fruit Shoot® they are really convenient because they can just grab and go while they are still building their campground. 

They are a very popular juice drink for kids, mine really enjoy them.  Fruit Shoot® is made with no artificial flavors, real fruit juice, no high fructose corn syrup, and offers varieties made with real sugar, as well as no sugar added. It also comes in a durable, resealable bottle that allows your kids to take on the go, (perfect for a camping experience) wherever their adventures take them this summer.
