Are you enjoying your Summer? Although it is coming to an end, we have certainly enjoyed ours! We have spent quite a bit of time at our vacation home on the lake and we have done some other fun things. Of course, one not-so-fun thing for me was my neck surgery. But I am on the mend now, and I plan on enjoying the rest of Summer as much as I can!

When I think of Summertime, I always think of an ice cold glass of Coca-Cola. To me, it just means “fun in the sun” – things like concerts, BBQ’s, beaches, Disneyland. I have fond memories of when I was a teen/young adult and my friends and I would head up to this huge park (Tilden Park in Berkeley, CA). We would hang out at the lake there, snacking and drinking Coca-Cola. On our way home we would stop at the merry-go-round and get cotton candy. Ahhhh, the good old days. Of course I still enjoy this beverage these days too – it is always something I look forward to, especially during the hot Summer days,as it is SO refreshing!
When Coca-Cola contacted me* about sharing their Best Summer Moment campaign, and hosting a really fun giveaway, I said, “Of course – my readers will love this!”. Coca-Cola would love to know about your Best Summer Moment. They also want everyone to get out, be active and “get the ball rolling”. Their goal is to get 3 million people inspired to get out more and maybe even find the joy in things they used to love to do outdoors, but haven’t done in awhile.
As I mentioned above, Coca-Cola would love to hear about what you did this Summer. Did you go on any fun vacations? Did you see family and friends that you haven’t seen in a long time? Maybe you got married or welcomed a new addition to the family. Whatever it is, Coca-Cola wants to know!

I can’t get to a lot of my kids sports/other events due to illness. So this year I was able to make ALL FOUR softball tourneys of my daughter’s. I missed some games, and had to sit sometimes a bit farther from the field, but I saw most of all the 4 weeks of tournaments. That is HUGE for me. I got to see her accept a personal medal at one of the games and that kid was all dimples. umm…and so was I!

My best summer moment was back in 2010. I had my son in May and my hubby stayed home for over 4 weeks with us to be together and bond with our baby and each other. It was a great time, the best time in my life (well one of the best times I have 3 kids) I never had anyone stay home like that. He actually began saving leave when we found out I was pregnant (4 weeks along). His boss paid him for 2 full weeks because he was a first time dad and they believe in bonding with your child and spouse. He was home probably for around 6 weeks not 4.
No car, we walk a lot :o( But we find all kinds of money on the ground :o) Over $300 this summer alone!
