Blog: Beating Summer Heat!

It is rare that our Redondo Beach life is under fire … but there are a few weeks every summer that I WISH we had an air conditioner. The temps seems to be coming down but it still proves difficult to get the cool evening air to enter the house! Window fans and regular fans are going … but it is still exponentially hotter inside than out throughout the evening.

The benefit of being a work-at-home mom and from being in an untethered industry is not only can I take my computer and work anywhere, I can also schedule work around my kids and the heat wave. So we’ve had the ability to take some breaks and get out of the house! I’m seeing many Facebook friends posting about water park trips and the beach. What are you doing to stay cool in this heat wave?
