My son has one of these LCD Writing Tablets and it’s a hit, especially for car rides.  You can doodle and then erase with just a click on a button and draw again!  Snag a 4 pack for just $8.99, making each tablet just $2.25 each!  What a great price!

We love that Barnes & Noble has such a fantastic and fairly easy summer reading program.  For 2025, children in grades 1-6 can read any 8 books and score a free book!

Reading logs can only be redeemed between July 1 and August 31st, 2025.

Enjoy!

We love having a pool at our house, but with a pool comes mosquitos!  The only thing I’ve found that works well is this Thermacell Mosquito Repeller Patio Shield.  It comes in several fun colors and is easy to take with us on the go to parks or other outdoor adventures.

 

 

We absolutely love the Turkish Beach Towels around here!  Since we have a pool in our backyard, we go through a ton of towels.  All we have to do is hang these on the fence and they dry super quickly!  They are also lightweight, so perfect for taking on the go.

Currently on clearance at Walmart.com, you can get a 4 pack for just $21.99!  That’s the lowest price I’ve seen in a long time!  6 colors left at this price, but selling quickly!

It’s time to switch out your photos for something new! Through 6/15, you can get  1 FREE 8×10 Photo Print from Walgreens with code PICWITHDAD and also score same day pickup.  I love getting free photo prints!

Need other photos printed?  Use code ALLSUMMER50 to save 50% off your photo purchase!
