July Guide: In-Season Picks and Simple Joys

Summer is in full swing, and July is the perfect month to soak up the sunshine, slow down with your family, and make memories that feel just a little more magical. Whether you’re heading to the beach, planning backyard adventures, or simply enjoying long afternoons at home, we’ve got your guide to making the most of the month — with fresh ideas, seasonal eating, and low-stress fun.

🌱 What’s In Season: July Produce Picks

One of the best (and tastiest) ways to connect with the rhythms of summer is by enjoying produce at its peak. Here's what's in season this July — perfect for snacks, lunches, or refreshing smoothies:

  • Peaches 🍑
  • Watermelon 🍉
  • Cherries 🍒
  • Cucumbers 🥒
  • Lettuce 🥬
  • Zucchini 🧑‍🌾
  • Bell Peppers 🫑

Snack tip: Let kids pick out one fruit and one veggie at the grocery store or farmers market — it’s a fun way to give them ownership and encourage adventurous eating.

☀️ Easy, Joy-Filled July Activities

The best summer memories usually come from the simplest moments. Here are a few family-friendly ideas to fill up your July days:

  • DIY sprinkler splash zone 💦 You don’t need a pool to stay cool. Set up a sprinkler or use a hose to create your own backyard water park. Pair with popsicles and playlists for instant joy
  • Evening neighborhood parade 🎉 Grab your bikes, scooters, wagons, or strollers — and host a mini “parade” around your block with neighbors or siblings. Kids can decorate their rides with streamers, chalk, or handmade flags.
  • Family Movie Night — Outside Style 🎬 Set up a backyard movie night with blankets, string lights, and your favorite family film. Add some yummy snacks (we happen to know a good one 😉) and you've got an unforgettable night.

🌞 Seasonal Tip: Prep a Summer Snack Station

Long, sunny days mean your kids are home more — and snack time is pretty much all the time. Set yourself up for smoother days by creating a grab-and-go snack station that empowers kids to help themselves.

Here’s how:

  • Designate a low shelf or basket in your pantry or fridge
  • Pre-portion cut fruit, veggies, crackers, and other healthy options in small containers or bags
  • Include ready-to-eat snacks made with real ingredients (hint hint: some recommendations below 😉)

☀️ What We're Celebrating

July is all about slowing down and soaking up the sunshine with the people you love. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, taking a spontaneous road trip, or just running through the sprinkler in your front yard, it's the little summer moments that make lasting memories.

Here's to a summer filled with sunshine, simplicity, and snacks you can feel good about.

Happy July! 🌞
