JULY 2026

There are so many ways to stay cool in July. You can take a swim, move

your sports-viewing inside, or enjoy a beloved summer treat. Along the

way, there's plenty of reason to look out for the people you love, your

home, and the planet.

July 11: Swimming Pool Day. Here's your excuse to go swimming! Create your perfect pool day, whether that includes a rousing game of Marco Polo or a relaxing float in the sun.

July 19: Global Soccer Final. Join hundreds of millions of fans when you tune in to one of the world's most-watched sporting events. Which country will bring home the trophy this year?

July 26: Parents' Day. Thank your parents or guardians for guiding and protecting you. If you're a parent, give yourself a pat on the back. It's not an easy job, and you're doing great!

National Ice Cream Month. Mint chocolate chip? Cookie dough? Plain vanilla? Cup or cone? Celebrate the frozen treat with extra scoops of your favorite flavor.

Did You Know? Not all home projects deliver the same payoff — some boost happiness, while others boost resale value. Homeowners say they get the biggest happiness boost from interior renovations, like upgrading the kitchen or adding a primary bedroom suite. But exterior projects, such as installing a new front door or windows, tend to offer the best return on investment. The sweet spot? A new roof scores high for homeowner happiness and checks a major box for today’s buyers.*

One Smart Move for July: Get Water Wise. With all the lawn watering, car washing, and pool filling, summer's heat can lead to higher water bills. Plus, in areas impacted by drought, wasteful water usage can affect the larger community. What can you do?
Audit your water usage. Repair dripping faucets or leaks. Install water-saving shower heads and fixtures. Schedule irrigation or other water-heavy tasks outside of peak hours.
