School is out for the summer in our household.
And that means change.
- I’ll be fixing lunches every day.
- Going to pool every day.
- Coordinating camp schedules and weekend trips.
Don’t get me wrong. I love summer. But I’m also fully aware as we slide into this new season that I need to make some adjustments in our household routine to keep up with new schedule.
Here are some tips from the folks at P&G to help make your transition to summer a great one.
- Now that your winter hats are in storage and the weather is warming up, head to your local hair salon for a shorter ‘do. Your new look will give you a boost of confidence, while helping you turn over a new spring leaf. Plus make it easier to manage in between pool times.
- With the weather heating up, you can finally look forward to showing off your legs. Use the Gillette® Venus & Olay™ razor to boost your shave and help lock in skin’s moisture* so you can wear that spring sundress with pride! (Love that I can use this with just water for “on the go” upkeep before I put on a swimsuit.)
- Using Downy Infusions™ Honey Flower fabric softener and Downy Shimmer Unstopables when washing your towels and linens. Together, these innovative products invigorate your fabrics with layered scents that last throughout day. (Which make the pool towels like a mini-spa.)
- With the kids how for vacation, make sure to stock your bathroom with Charmin Ultra Strong®. It cleans so well you’re kids can use less!
And to help make your transition to summer more enjoyable, I’m giving away one P&G Blossom Prize Pack to a lucky KCM reader.
Prize Pack Includes:
- Venus + Olay Razor
- Charmin Bathroom Tissue
- Downy Infusions™ Honey Flower fabric softener
- Downy Shimmer Unstopables
- Tide Vivid White + Bright™ Boost

I love not having to have a set schedule like we do when school is in. We get up when we feel like it and go to bed when we become sleepy. We don’t have the evening rush of making sure homework, dinner, items needed for next day, and baths are all done before 9pm.
