Well, summer has struck North Carolina with a vengeance (and I know we are not alone)! Two straight weeks of temps in the mid to high 90s, plus a few 100 degree days in there AND almost no rain. Basically the moment the kids got out of school we hit a heat wave that kept them in the house all. day. long.
Finally, the high temps fell to a balmy 88 degrees and we took the opportunity to pack up a quick picnic lunch and enjoy some time outside.
The kids were so excited to play outdoors. Their excitement didn’t last long though. Just enough to eat, play for 15 minutes and then everyone was complaining about the heat.
Everyone, except Annaliese.
Her cotton FabKids Summer Tide Outfit kept her cooler than the rest of us.
Cotton fabric is soft, absorbent and breathable. It wicks moisture away from the body and removes liquid from the skin, like a towel. Best of all cotton is very low maintenance! It sheds odors more easily and is easier to wash and care for than other fabrics.
Did you know cotton has a high tensile strength, making it tough, durable and less likely to rip or tear? It’s a good thing too, because my girls prefer to climb trees and ride their bikes and scooters over having tea parties.
After an hour of everyone sweating through their clothes, except for Annaliese, we gave up and walked home where we enjoyed rocket pops.
What fun things do you like to do to cool off on a hot summer day?
For us it’s….

Stacie says
I love FabKids. They have incredibly cute clothes, and they don’t wear out. I love that because my kids are total destroyers of clothes.

Mine too, Stacie! It's so nice to find affordable, durable kids clothes. These definitely last long enough to pass down to the younger siblings!
Liz Mays says
Fabkids always have the coolest selection of outfits. I'd definitely be browsing the site regularly if my kids were younger.
Kristi says
What a cute outfit and I love that it helped her stay cool! Will have to check out fabkids and see if our girls would like anything.
Marcie W. says
My kids could really use a new retailer when it comes to clothing. They are beginning to outgrow some of our old favorites and each have their own style that I need to accommodate.

Our weather has been all over the place as well. It's either been rainy or hot. Not just an ok day to enjoy the weather.
Rosey says
FabKids makes THE best quality clothes. I love them through and through, and have been a fan for awhile now!
Ann B says
Fab Kids makes great kids clothes. They are a great quality. The kids usually outgrow them before they wear out. We like to make a huge slip and slide in the back yard to stay cool.
