5 Ways to Simplify Summer {and a chance to win a $110 prize pack}

With my boys' busy schedules, I feel like we are constantly on the go during the school year. So, when they are on summer vacation, I try (not always successfully) to slow things down a bit. Today, I am sharing 5 ways to simplify summer... and I am letting you know how you can enter to win a $110 prize pack.

1) Make meals easy - Who wants to spend a lot of time in the kitchen during summer months? Scrambled egg wraps, pre-cooked chickens, raw veggies and fruit are summertime favourites in our house. We also love to barbecue.

2) Limit organized activities - It's fun to be part of summer sports teams and camps, but I try not to over schedule the kids. There is nothing better than free time in the summer.

3) Opt for a stay-cation - Summer fun doesn't have to be a lot of work or involve travel. Stay-cations (e.g. outdoor movies at home and backyard campouts) can be a tremendous amount of fun.

4) Focus on the simple things in life - To help focus on the simple things in life, it is a good idea to take a minute to write down a little thing in life that you appreciate and why it makes you happy. It's also a wonderful exercise to do with kids. I did it with my boys, and it was a good reminder that the simple things in childhood are what kids will remember.

5) Find products that do double duty - Double duty products are wonderful time savers and are perfect for busy parents. For example, the Schick Intuition Simplicity Curve 3-in-1 razor is great for vacation. You can have a quicker shower in the morning, and you can pack more efficiently because the razor contains shaving lotion AND moisturizer.

For a chance to win a Schick Intuition prize pack (valued at $110), share what simplicity means to you.

1) Follow @IntuitionCA on Pinterest and create a board called "Simplicity Curve".

2) Pin your ideas (or a photo of the note you made about the simple thing in life you appreciate and why it makes you happy) using the hashtag #IntuitionSimplicityCurveContest.

3) Copy and paste (up to 3) URL links of your Simplicity Curve Pinned Photos, and enter them at SimplicityCurve.ca. Don't forget you can enter every week.

I can't wait to ready about all the simple things in life that you enjoy. Don't forget to simplify your summer, and good luck with the contest!
