From spectacular views of downtown St. Petersburg high towers to iconic Tampa Bay, EVO apartments have everything to offer. And now that summer fun is over, you must be gearing up for back-to-school. Since EVO is strategically located inside a great city—ST. Pete, parents have endless options for shopping for end-of-summer essentials.

Ready for School with Essentials

Now that it’s the onset of the new school season, you must ensure your kid is equipped with all the essentials. Shop for quality mechanical pencils to ensure they last for long. Don’t forget binders, notebooks, and anything else on the teacher’s back-to-school list.

Music and headsets are also a unique trend for students in St. Petersburg. Buy your kid headsets with adjustable volume to ensure they are not left out. You may also opt for air pods, which is the most popular trend. Have a talk with your kids, highlighting your expectations in the coming academic calendar.

New Routine

While your kids will be adjusting to the new school routine, you, as a parent, will also have to make some changes. For starters, apartment living shouldn’t stop you from making school-friendly changes that will allow your loved ones to adjust quickly.

One of the adjustments you should consider is creating studying spaces for your kid free from distractions. This will allow them to complete their homework and other studying undertakings on time. Create a peaceful minimalist bedroom to ensure they get a peaceful night’s sleep and wake up early. If you used to have many guests or parties during summer, those habits must go. After all, your children are the most essential part of your life.

Help your Kids Transition from Summer Fun to School Routine

Your kids should now understand that summer fun is over, and now it’s time to go back to school routine. Non-verbal cues such as changing the tone of your apartment help to communicate the message loud and clear. And with the EVO community presenting exemplary schools, the changes need not be overwhelming, as many people think.

Summer is practically synonymous with parties, outdoor activities, and games with friends. Even with apartment living, you can have your own summer fun and host a memorable event for friends and family. Throw some food on the grill, serve up some mocktails, and enjoy the warm summer weather.

Mocktail Recipes

Enjoy the refreshing, summery flavor of guava–and the beautiful pink color–with this simple recipe from Mindful Mocktail. Mix three tablespoons of guava nectar and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Muddle six to eight mint leaves and add to the guava and lemon mixture. Pour the mixture into a glass with ice and fill it with soda water, about one cup.

A cocktail shaker is helpful but not necessary. There are also plenty of easy ways to make changes to this mocktail. If you can’t find guava nectar, you can substitute mango or apricot nectar for a drink that’s just as delicious, and you can also substitute mint syrup for fresh mint and lime juice for lemon juice. For an adult twist, use rosé or sparkling wine instead of soda water or kombucha.

Games and So Much More

The simplest way to enjoy games is by hosting a game night with friends or family, which can easily be moved outside to a porch or patio when the weather is warm. You could also host a movie night. Turn your apartment into a cozy home theater with plenty of blankets and pillows, and pop some popcorn and get takeout from your favorite spot. And, of course, you can always enjoy your apartment’s outdoor amenities like the pool and fire pit.

 

Apartment living doesn’t have to mean sacrificing summer fun. There are still plenty of great ways to host a party and entertain. With these simple yet delicious mocktails and great games with friends, you can enjoy the long summer nights with your loved ones.
