Aug29Carrie’s 2 for 1 End of Summer Fun!
Carrie

I’m starting to feel panicked as the summer winds down. Have I had any fun yet? With a new baby and a toddler, fun isn’t as easy as it used to be.  I need more time. I went on a hunt for products that could serve two purposes at the same time–kind of like an ad hoc mom herself—so I can maximize what’s left of these summer weeks.

1.    Flip Flop/Bottle Opener – The Reef Fanning Sandal $44
There’s a built in bottle opener on the sole of this summer sandal! Now I can pop the top off of a beer at a moment’s notice. It’s just the pick-me-up I’ll need after exposing my decimated pedicure to the world.

2.    Sun Hat/Nap Cabana – San Diego Hat Company XL Brim Hat $36.75
The 10-inch brim on this giant hat will keep my head and shoulders protected from the sun. I can also pull it down to completely cover my face as I sneak in a nap while “watching the kids” at a Labor Day picnic.

3.    Vitamins/Vodka – Lotus Vodka $27.99
This vodka has an infusion of vitamins so I can meet my recommended daily intake while sipping summer’s last cocktail. This beats Flinstones Chewables hands down.

4.    Head Massager/Avant-Garde Head Piece – OSIM uCrown 2 $199.95
I’m going to sport this head massager from Brookstone at the playground to melt my stress away. The kids will be so embarrassed, they won’t want to be anywhere near me. Avant-garde head piece equals more “me time.”

5.    Pacifier/Baby Finder – Flashing LED Pacifier $4.99
With all of the napping, head massaging and vitamin imbibing that I plan on doing, I may not be very alert. Luckily for me, forgetting where I put the baby down for a nap will be no problem with this flashing light pacifier!

    My two-fer this summer was a dance. And that dance was the macarena. It enlivened the post kids supper/parents ready for cocktails withcing hour and stood in for the pre-child days of dance parties in our summer house. Ayyy Macarena! It turns out my hatred of it during my wedding guest days was total snobbery. It. is. a. blast. And, yes: “fun for the whole family.” (And our kids don’t dance to Journey) BTW: I want an AD HOC mom devoted to making a list of things that are legitimately “fun for the whole family.” It’s harder than it sounds.
