Toddler Activities for Summer!

I can’t even tell you what a relief it is that it’s now summer here in Utah. Do I sound like a broken record if I tell you, once again, that this winter was rough? The bad air that gets caught in the valley where I live makes it smoggy and it’s hard to go outside because it’s freezing. We are living the summer of our lives right now and enjoying most minutes of it! I was about to say every minute, but we all know that life can’t be enjoyed every minute so we’ll stick with the vast majority of minutes in the summer.

This summer is a lot more fun for us because Harris and Goldie are so much more active and able to do fun activities with me outside. I wanted to share with you what we have been up to so far this summer that they have enjoyed the most. I love getting tips from other moms on fun activities that their kids are loving!

  • We bought this water table and they have loved playing with it literally every single day. My cousin got some fun sand toys from Costco that all the babies love to play with.
  • Since our backyard faces west, we like to enjoy our backyard in the mornings, and the front of our house in the afternoons so we can get some shade. They like to play with sidewalk chalk on the front driveway.
  • Walks to see the neighbor’s animals! There is a large pig (if you follow me on Instagram stories, you have probably seen him. Him name is Kevin Bacon…), horses, goats and dogs that live really close to us. They love seeing any animals, even if it’s just a sweet neighbor’s dog further up the road!
  • I googled “splash pads” near me last week and ended up finding the coolest splash pad that is only 15 minutes away from us! Harris and Goldie LOVED it!
  • We got a pass to the local aquarium last week and the babies really enjoyed it! They were so fascinated by the fish. I got home and immediately ordered these backpack leashes. One baby was going one direction, and the other was going the other direction, and I’m telling you these things are going to save their lives!
  • We have a pass to Thanksgiving Point where they have some fun museums for kids. Museums are a mama’s life saver!
  • I bought these Color Wonder markers and coloring books and they are a lifesaver. I put the babies in their high chairs and they love to color, mess-free!! If they didn’t have these, the markers would get everywhere. Clothes. Furniture. You name it, sister.
  • Setting up a blanket outside and doing things that we would normally do inside, like playing with cars, is something that is fun for them because it’s different.
  • We are thinking about getting a library card because my kids love to read new books. Do any of you have a library card for kids this young?

When I say that I’m sweating and out of breath a lot, I’m not exaggerating. Harris and Goldie want me to hold them both at the same time a lot and it takes a powerful deodorant to keep up with being a twin mama! I recently discovered a new deodorant that I’m loving called Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid. Use Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid just once for all-day strong wetness protection. It offers faster, extra effective protection from unexpected sweat which is what I need because at any given moment, Harris and Goldie are going to want me to pick them up at the same time which is a workout! I pick mine up at Walmart here, and I love doing the online ordering where I can pull up, text them and have them bring out my order when my babies are in the car. I’m all about ease this summer!

    I’ve seen those little backpack leashes before and you can get them in so many cute and fun designs. I think they must be an essential item with twins!
    Gorgeous photos!

      I agree! They definitely are so they get lost since they love going two different directions 🙂

Favorite things I heard this week: Goldie genuinel Favorite things I heard this week:
Goldie genuinely asking Harris: “Who has your heart been waiting for?” asking him about who he thinks is cute at school.
Harris: “I haven’t decided yet.”

Goldie walking into my closet before bed last night: “How is my pretty pretty one?” referring to me 😂 Yes, I will read you another book, Goldie.

What were some things that lit up your week?
Make us smile!

This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

16 weeks tomorrow! Feeling great!! #16weekspregnant #ivfsuccess
Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things yo Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things you focus on teaching your kids? 👇🏻

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

Fun times in the Parcell house right now! 😂 #parcellsundayselfie 5/15/22
