To preface this post, when we signed with the talent agency that represents our family, I told them that NIKE was my ultimate dream collaboration/partnership. This has been 3 years in the making + I’m truly grateful lunch myself giddy over this opportunity to work with NIKE.

WORK HARD + BE NICE TO PEOPLE! Oh, + write down the goals that feel too good to be true. We are partnering with Nike to introduce their SUMMER WHITES line. I’ve been a closet tomboy all my life + have worn Nike around town since the womb. The boys ask to wear their Nike shorts everrrrrryday + Jon sports Nike SB at the skate park. Nike is a Parrish family fave through and through.
We’re one week into summer + I’m quickly discovering that I’m not the only Mom wondering how to keep these hoodlums out of trouble until school starts back up. We spend a lot of time outdoors + have plans to spend the majority of our summer out there! Nike helps keep us cool in the Utah heat.
30 things to do this Summer that don’t take a lot of planning + include comfy clothes 🙂
- Stovetop smores. Don’t forget to add a strawberry!
- Lemonade Stand
- Leave pre made happy notes on windshield
- go find find a new park you’ve never been to
- Treasure Hunt – burn the edges of the pirate map you draw for a real WOW factor
- freeze toys (we use action figures) in a bowl of water, let them chisel them out
- Go on a bike ride
- Play Simon Says, Charades, hopscotch, or annie-I-over
- Go to a matinee
- wash the car +/or wash bikes
- build legos
- make muffins from scratch
- watch older home videos
- splash pad day : do a quick Google splash pads near you search if you haven’t ever been to one – most of them that we’ve been to are free or very inexpensive
- write a letter + mail it to grandma + grandpa or cousins
- hike Adam’s canyon
- paint ice in the sink or in a bucket outside
- play around the world on basketball hoop
- make a fort, take turns reading books in it
- try one of these bike games
- put on a play or a talent show (make sure to recruit neighbors to participate + all the parents to watch
- glow sticks + night games — kick the can | flashlight tag | ghost in the graveyard
- visit the fire department
- go to the drive in movie theater | we go to the one on redwood road in slc. pack into the back of a truck or jeep or bring lawn chairs + invite your friends
I AM ALLL here for white on white, but would you believe me if I told you I started my period when I tried on my white pants for the first time. GO FIGURE. I’ve gotta come up with a BTS video to show our daily chaos in real life because I still can’t believe it most of the time + I live here.
Note to self: Keep a bottle of carpet cleaner with you, it took blood out in an instant without water!
Kids don’t need a lot to be happy. They need a happy mom to show them what it means to be a good person to myself + to others. I set out to master one skill for summer + that is to plan ahead more consistently. It’s not my strong suit, but when I do plan, I’m sooo glad I did.
