It's summer and we're all so busy with the summer things we love to do. For us it's swim lessons, vacations, playing with friends at the park, BBQing, trips to the zoo, evening walks, and gardening. As much as I love to cook sometimes I just need a night off when we have a lot going on. And now 10 goodLife {eats} readers will have the opportunity for a night off as well. Head down to Sonic with family or friends (or by yourself, I won't tell) and sample the offerings from their menu - which now includes whole grain buns and the option for fruit in the kids meals.

  165. Our favorite summer activity is making homemade ice cream and enjoying it on on our front porch swing. Nothing like it. :)
