5 Things To Do In Summer For Moms
1) Hydrate Yourself
The most important thing in summer is to maintain the hydration level of our body. And this is one most forgetful thing too. We plan outdoor trips in summer and chances are there we forget to sip water frequently and this leads to dehydration, making us feel exhausted. So keep sipping water or any juice that keeps you hydrated. If you are one forgetful mom like me, you can download any water reminder app on your phone that will remind you at regular intervals to drink water. And also make your child drink water at the same time too.
2) Apply Sunscreen
During summer we tend to spend more time outdoor and our skin is exposed to sun for longer period of time. So sunscreen is must during summer to protect our skin from ultra violet rays. No need to say no to fun moments, just take precaution to maintain your skin healthy for long time. Applying sunscreen during summer is an important part of your skin care routine. Just a reminder, sunscreens are not only for adults, there are special sunscreens for children too. So apply sunscreen regularly and embrace the summer holidays with open arms.
3) Start Your Day Early
When kids are in vacation mood, I am sure moms too feel lazy to do the routine chores. But then you can’t say no to everything. And with rising temperature, energy levels to do regular chores goes on decreasing. So the best way to beat the blues is to wake up early and start your day early. And one added benefit of waking up early is that you can enjoy the stillness of beautiful summer mornings. When you start your day early you have enough time later part of the day to enjoy and relax with your family. Or even you can plan outdoors in the evening too.

5) Enjoy The Present Moment With Your Child
I feel it is very necessary to be mindful and live in the moment. Enjoy the present moment with your child simply means spend time together without rushing to anything.

So seize the moment with your child because time passes so fast. Do whatever you feel like doing together and make it a point you both enjoy the moment.
