Battle Boredom: Guide to Fun Stuff & Activities for the Summer Holidays

Ready for the summer festivities to begin, mama? Here are some fun activity and shopping ideas if you’re still on the hunt!

When life gets rough I like to hold on to my dream
Of relaxing in the summer sun just lettin’ off steam!

Ah, one of the most underrated songs from the hit Disney animated film Frozen – In Summer by Olaf the snowman (not like you needed an intro because we’re sure by now all our ears have been assaulted aplenty by Let It Go… but, well, just in case). School’s out for the kiddos and we’re all so ready to relax in the summer sun and let off some steam! Here’s how you can beat the imminent boredom for the littlies, mama: days of trampoline fun await; travel is always an option, especially when you’ve got someone planning it all for you; and summer toys, bits and bobs will always have the kiddos entertained.
