My fave tip was the cues on bbqs “Still, BBQs also tend to involve plenty of items that are decidedly not kid-friendly: raw meat, pointy instruments, and open flames. Make sure you have an eye on your kids at all times”

My favorite summer safety tip is to stay hydrated. I learned to clean and disinfect the kiddy pool with a solution of ¾ cup bleach to one gallon of water or as directed on product label.

Filtered Water made into Ice Cubes then added to the boys Stainless Steele BPA free water bottles, keeps things colder longer. I throw in the ice cubes, add more filtered water (sometimes I use the PUR – flavored filtered water) and away they go. It encourages them to remain hydrated throughout the hot summer days.
I also make gatorade ice cubes for their water bottles when they head to the gym. No watered down sports drink for them this way. If they don’t like it they won’t drink it. Teenagers are funny that way
Something New — I had no idea there was a Dr. Laundry blog, let alone a Dr. Laundry Stain line… why didn’t I know about this before? It’s not just the summer months that get the boys (and their clothes) filthy, but back to school, which means back to sports (football, soccer anyone?) — means stains and all sorts of food stuffs (ummm napkins boys – napkins!)….

Hope its not too late to come to the party I would love to come
I learned that you need to dump out plastic pools each time you use it. Dump out the water after each session, and keep it clean by disinfecting it with a solution of ¾ cup bleach to one gallon of water or as directed on product label. (Also, I know it can also be a breeding ground for mosquitoes if you don’t dump it out…ewww.)

My favorite summer safety tip is drinking lots of fluids..
@TippytoeMom on Twitter I’m at the party!
My tip is to keep your yard trim and free from insects (mosquitoes) with spray and reg. mowing.
From the Simple and Surpr. website:
Keep the playground playable. Playgrounds are built for kids, but they’re not always kid-ready.
I learned to use watered down bleach to sanitize everyday objects that are handled by multiple people.
Favorite Tip- The stain hotline. How cool!
Look forward to the twitter party ..Drink plenty in the summer..
