How is summer going? Are you surviving the first week with all the kids home? Or do you still have a couple more weeks left of school? Are you trying to get all your trips and activities over and done with or are you having slow mornings with kids sleeping in? Lately we’ve been leaning into all the little things that make summer feel fun and cozy—easy meals, family activities, new finds we’re loving, and simple ways to spend more intentional time together. I’m sharing all of it in this week’s post, from Father’s Day ideas to summer favorites and some fun activities to do with the kids!

We really love homemade bread over here! It makes life feel a little slower, cozier, and honestly better! And you can do it! And once you make homemade bread there is no going back!
🎶I’m so fed up with people telling me to be, someone else but me (Action!) 🎶

I got a couple of new towels from Geometry that everyone needs! If you don’t have a Beach towel yet you are missing out! They are so soft, a great size, and fold up so small so they don’t take up your entire beach bag. Check these out and use code moderndad at checkout for a discount!
When we were in New York we saw these shoes and we knew Emily needed them, but they were out of stock in her size. So we ordered them and they just came and are perfect. If you need a new pair of shoes this summer, and you probably do, check these out!
A few years ago I saw Get Out Passes and I thought we’d never use them. Emily ended up getting them and they have been so worth it. Especially if you are in Utah and you can add Lagoon to your pass and it more than pays for itself. They are in a ton of different states, so check out where you live and see if they have an option near you, and don’t forget to use my code moderndad for a discount!
If you saw my post from last week you saw me order card kits from Stampin’ Up. I loved them so much that I ordered more kits for me to do with my kids! I ordered:
- Best Ever Kit
- This cute Pop-Up Pals Kit
- Painted Wishes Kit
- And this awesome ribbon
- If you have a Pooh Bear lover in your house, or you love Pooh Bear you definitely need this paper as well
I love Stampin’ Up and I’m so excited to put these together with my kids this summer! Check them out, I know you’ll love them too!
I’ve been asked if you can make tiny loaves of bread and you absolutely can! And these pans are perfect for small loaves! And seriously anyone can make the bread!
Whatever you’re doing this summer whether it’s baking bread, crafting with your kids, or going out to an amusement park, I hope you have so much fun with your family! Let me know in the comments what your plans are this summer!
