The 90s Butter Mom Summer Guide is for moms who want a slower, simpler, more memorable summer without spending hours planning activities or filling every day with expensive outings. Inside you’ll find screen-free summer ideas, backyard adventures, simple traditions, and practical ways to create the kind of childhood memories that last.
Does this sound familiar?
You start every summer with good intentions.
This is going to be the summer.
The summer with less screen time.
The summer with more backyard adventures.
The summer with popsicles on the porch, muddy feet, sprinkler afternoons, library trips, and childhood memories your kids will talk about years from now.
Then life happens.
The weeks fill up.
The days feel repetitive.
The kids get bored.
The screens slowly creep back in.
And by August, it feels like summer happened around you instead of with you.
You don’t need a perfectly planned summer.
You don’t need elaborate activities.
You don’t need another Pinterest board full of ideas you’ll never use.
You need a simple framework that helps you create the kind of summer you’re craving without making motherhood harder.
Dream State
Imagine looking back on this summer and remembering:
- sprinkler afternoons
- popsicles on the porch
- bike rides after dinner
- library days
- nature walks
- backyard picnics
- watermelon juice running down little chins
- fireflies
- barefoot mornings
Not because you planned every moment.
Because you created space for them to happen.
Imagine your children spending more time outside than in front of screens.
Imagine afternoons that feel slower.
Imagine creating family traditions your children carry into adulthood.
Imagine a summer that feels simple, memorable, and deeply lived.

The bike ride.
The fort.
The boredom that becomes imagination.
The ordinary moments that become the stories they tell years later.
