Staycation there is a few lakes around here to go to. Will work on my baskets and a Norwegian sweater repair for a friend (he got it from a friend who didn’t take care of it and has lots of moth holes).
My husband and I will be doing some camping this summer and this would sure be nice to have!
I am so excited this year to get out and camp as much as our schedules allow. We have already gone once. Our next trip is next week with my sister and her family. We are heading our to Mohawk State Forest. Planning or meals that will be cooked over the fire over the next couple days as well as our trails to hike! Can’t wait. I also planned another camping trip to another state campground or our 19th anniversary in September.
I am waiting to get this boot off my foot, then I am going to float in the river. Every day. For at least 9 days, one day for each week I have had to wear the boot :).
Since my day job keeps me cooped up in an air conditioned office, I make a point to have my lunch outside. I’ll sit on a park bench and soak up some precious summer rays. Of course, I have to be careful not to get burnt!
Floating Rivers. Gardening. Hiking. Reading.
Fun in the Sun this summer will include keeping up a garden even though our home is up for sale. Taking a wonderful trip to Montana visiting family while celebrating our 30th wedding annniversary and driving our son ( last one at home ) to work each day. It can’t get any better than that!!
My summer in the sun will be in my dreams. I am not allowed in the sun/heat because of health issues. But I still use sunscreen and take special care of my skin. I used to be in the sun. As a child I roamed our East Texas woods, pine trees, and Daddy’s cotton fields. We went to the Gulf Coast and enjoyed the water and breezes. That was in the olden days of the 40s and 50s when sunscreen wasn’t around and the only protection was a Granny Hat. Yes, I blistered, and blistered over and over. Thank the Lord I have not acquired skin cancer. Others have not been so fortunate. Wanda 🙂
Fun in the sun this summer! My family and I took a trip to St Augustine, Florida (with our 2 pooches!) to celebrate the 4th of July in the oldest city in America. Later this month, we’re going camping in Michigan for the weekend, then we are spending a weekend with my parents and siblings near Petoskey, MI. We end our hoorah campibg with friends off Lake Huron over Labor Day weekend.
Living in Florida I plan to try to stay cool and go to the beach as much as I can!
While I work an indoor job, I hope to get out on the water as much as possible this summer. And near the end of August, before my daughter starts her Senior year of HS, I’m taking her to Disney World and I believe the sun is rather intense in FL.
Summer plans include a visit to Bella Coola, British Columbia to visit daughter and grandson. Did a lot of hiking. Visit Olympic National Park, more hiking. Present a Hiking 101 presentation to a teens at risk camp. Go the the Appalachian Trail Biennial in Maine with more hiking. So, it is a hiking in the sun summer!!
So far this summer has consisted of a lot of yard work and gardening, but I’m not complaining. Hoping to add in more hikes and patio time at local breweries.
Summer, it’s time to spend time in the garden tending to our fruit trees and veggies.
I also love to spend time by our peaceful pond.
I am an avid sunscreen user and , recommend it to all our patients. It would be great to try natural products that , I could then recommend to our families.
On the ranch in the summer your always outside and I try to squeeze in my gardening wherever I can. Sometimes the gardening happens in the moonlight due to being so busy with animals and haying etc…..
I am working outside in the Southwest Missouri heat, sun and humidity doing yard art and painting projects.
The old place is looking refreshed.
I am out in my flower garden all the time.. I am finding I am getting brown spots all over my arms and now my fface nose,hair line..probably other places I haven’t discovered..i liked what your products had to say.. I am 72 and never before had this.. thank you for your time..i am an original hippy..means make it out of your garden..
Find a new path after the loss of my husband of 45 years. A new journey!
My vacation is a “staycation”…to just enjoy my little nook in the world with my grandkids, gardens, and fur/feather babies. We will be outside playing on the sidewalk, tramping through the woods and cooling off down by the creek. In my heart there is no place like home!
Find a new path following the death of my husband of 45 years. A new journey!!
I walk for exercise every morning and try to keep the weeds from taking over my garden. A friend and I also have a booth at a local flea market once a month.
I am a true advocate for the use of sunscreen. After years of sun exposure, I was diagnosed with skin cancer. It is not a risk I will ever do again. I am stressing to everyone who steps out your door, do not leave home without it.
Would love to try these products. My outside fun is working in the garden and yard. I hope to go fishing with my grandchildren also.
We are building our tiny home, we are outdoors most of the time building, gardening, kayaking, and hiking and just love being outdoors all the time. It is important to be protected. We would love a chance to win and try these products.
My summer fun includes a trip to South Carolina to enjoy the mountains.
Work in my garden, that’s where I get most of my sun and vitamin D.
We are retired and grow a big garden plus I have lots of beautiful flowers and herbs. We spend a lot of time outside and sunscreen is a must!
Planning to make time for using my stand-up-paddle board (SUP) as my husband goes fishing.
Also do lots of gardening and tending chickens which involves fun in the sun.
We use our neighborhood pool, so there isn’t a lot of shade. Plus my grandson comes to swim, so I protect him as much as I can.
We’ve recently moved from the 4 seasoned Idaho to Albuquerque, New Mexico with around 340 days per year of sunshine. That’s a LOT of sun, so much so we’ll probably play outside in cloudcover, rain, snow, you name it, just to experience a change. We love hiking ancient trails where petroglyphs canvas the rocks, discovering springs in the mountains, or journeying on the backs of horses…..especially my daughter whose taking Western riding lessons. To refresh ourselves from the desert sun, we often go swimming and let’s just say, the air is thin up here so our pale skin can take a beating if we’re not prepared. Beyond the everyday gardening and activities, we plan on taking day and weekend trips around the southwest to get to know our new state.
Even though I am in between jobs right now, I try to stay busy with my blog posts, writing to our service members via Soldiers Angels. Plus I spend a lot of time outside working in my garden, walking my terriers Jake and Buddy, and taking my tractors to antique tractor shows.
Between gardening and when I have free time rafting and/or hiking I am outside 24/7 in the summer. Would love to try this product out.
what a great package to offer all of us. Yes, the sun is so damaging but with
wearing hats as we get older and protection creams hopefully the skin damage
will lessen. I love being able to share with other readers of this wonderful
magazine. I get great recipes and inspirations in my crafting world. Most of all
I really enjoy the articles written in the magazine. With life comes relation in the day.
We all need to live in the moment and remember to relax once and a while. count ones blessings each and every day and appreciate people we have in our day.
I work at a children’s summer camp. Having this kit would be a blessing. Thank you
Being fair-skinned with red in may hair makes me burst into flames whenever I step out into the sun. Kind of like a vampire, but cuter. HA! I would love to win this package.
Well my summer in the sun may not consists of beach…pools or amusement parks but I am in the sun everyday working in my garden tending veggies and flowers as well as lawn matainance! Lots of sunshine and I usually go through my sunscreens pretty fast! This Would be a welcomed package for sure! I might even get away for a couple of days hiking! 🙂
A week get together with our three grown children at a lake house and the rest of the time, playing in the dirt – garden and flower beds.
Our summer fun will be making hay and cutting wood, winter is when we relax, a little.
Can’t wait. 6 nights, 7 days camping lakeside in upstate New York in tents. Friends and family make it all worthwhile.
I plan on going to the Black Hills in early August with my daughter and her family. Then over Labor Day in September I am going to the beach with my son and his family. I have already spent time with my 2 sets of grandchildren that live locally.
I always look for 4 Leaf clovers Summer, Spring, Winter & Fall, just enjoying life counting my blessings!
Summer if 2017 includes a trip to Maine to frolic in the Atlantic, kayaking in the Adirondacks of New York, walking the hiking trails of the Wilton Nature Preserve near my home, and spending evenings in my yard swing with my MaryJanes Farm magazine and an ice cold lemonade. So I’m going to need to protect my skin because I plan to be in the sun every time it decides to shine!
Sweating it out here in sunny AZ then headed to Carlsbad beach for 2 weeks 🙂 Looking forward to some cooler weather and the sound and smell of the ocean.
Headed to Boise for our 55th class reunion. Plan to spend time in the sun with old friends!
Basically, working in my garden, working on my Shasta and doing some traveling to visit family.
Our busy lives up here on Cedarhedge ranch in Northwest Wyoming can call for long days in the sun building fence, feeding and caring for our small herd of cattle, three user friendly horses, five laying hens, and Hank the cow dog!! Summer heat demands much irrigation which in turn illicits too many prosperous weeds, causing irradication! ( Is that a word?!) Oh my!! My husband and I certainly enjoy our lives here where we are surrounded by ten mountain ranges all in full view. Panoramic really! Now that the Fourth of July has passed, Christmas plans aren’t far behind!
Happy Trails.
Diane Whitlock

Summer will be spent watching granddaughter competiing in Riding events around the state outdoors! On rainy days making quilts for Quilt for Kids organization.
Enjoy your magazine & so does my daughter-in-law.
A lot of time outside with my chickens and their babies. Lots of chores with goats, cattle, ducks, quail and chickens…..and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Riding horses and gardening.
