* Dressing in light weight cottons and linens are good options. Wear short sleeve shirts, tanks
and shorts. People frequently comment that they stay cooler by wearing pale colored clothes.

** Use ceiling fans or oscillating fans inside your house to help with air circulation.

** Do not use your oven through the hottest times of the day. Attempt to do your baking really early in the morning. Rather than serving your family oven baked meals, attempt stove-top recipes or use your outside barbecue grill.

** Cool down with cold frozen summer favorates like popsicles, ice cream, frozen yogurts and rootbeer floats. A unique treat we like to have during the hot summer time months is frozen green grapes.
