Summer Fun

Here are a few fun games to play with the kids using some of Lady Mischief's favorite treats.

Enjoy the season!

Summer Smiles

Pair up a Popsicle® ice pop with one of these mini activities, and the smiles will last all summer long!

Slow Melt Beat-The-Clock

See how long the fun lasts! Using a clock with a seconds hand, time your kids as they eat their Popsicle® Slow Melt ice pops. The SLOWEST slurper wins!

Brain Freeze

For every slurp of an ice pop, ask your child to name an object that's the same color as the pop. OR name a different famous person. OR a friend or family member. You get the idea. To make the fun last even longer, use Slow Melt pops!

Pop Art

Hang a big piece of white paper on a wall in your home, and leave a glue stick nearby. Every time you or your kids finish a pop, glue it to the paper. You can even write the date and flavor on it! Pretty soon, you'll have an abstract masterpiece filled with fun summer memories.

Guess The Pop

Next time your kids reach for a Popsicle® ice pop, test their psychic powers. Tell them to close their eyes and guess what flavor ice pop they'll score from the box. If they guess right, they earn respect points for the rest of the day.

About Lady Mischief & Why She Reviews

This is a blog dedicated to the reader. The woman, or man, who spends money on a book and would like to know they are getting something worth the investment.

I am a Lady and a Mother.

I work, I shop, I budget, I read.

What I spend money on is very important to me. Every penny counts, so before I buy something I measure the value in three ways.
1. The cost of a loaf of bread.
2. The cost of a gallon of milk.
3. The cost of a pack of diapers.

If a book costs me 2 gallons of milk or a pack of diapers then it had better be worth it.

Romance readers range from stay-at-home Moms to Diplomats. From Waitresses to Molecular Scientists.

Some readers may earn less than $10,000 per year while others make more than $100,000.

The woman who works in the diner and spent half the day cleaning and restocking without a customer in sight (which means no tips) may be working 3-4 hours just to buy one paperback book.

Buying a book, even a paperbook, can be the equivalent of 2-3 hours pay for some people, when you factor in deductions.

The book they buy had better be a good one.

That is why I decided to include books which rate a 1 or a 2 ice treat in my reviews. If I had to spend my money on them and read them, then it is my duty to save the rest of the reading world from having to read the same dreck.

If I give a book 3 ice treats it means it is a good book and you should read it. I have no doubts about it.

Four (4) treats mean there is something special.

Five (5) treats is truly outstanding.

A two (2) is readable, barely, you might like it better than I did.

But a one (1), honey, I wouldn't touch that one with someone else's Kindle.

What it all means

Five (5)
