I’ve spent many a summer day lounging in a handmade hammock my dad brought me from Colombia. While I love the colors and pattern of my hammock, I’m not a fan of having it fold in on me, encasing me in a cocoon and making reading impossible! Somebody out there in design land shared my frustration when they created the Headdemock Hammock by Fatboy. Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. That’s a full-grown woman and two kids hanging out (and reading!). Plus, there’s plenty of room to add a husband and a Great Dane.

Fatboy Hammock

This week’s question: What’s your favorite way to spend the dog days of summer? Napping on a hammock? Working in your summer veggie garden? Running through the sprinklers?

    This looks amazing. As a brand-new, first time dad. I would love to lounge in this with my new family of 3.

  2. Malia says:

    I love to spend my summer days biking to the beach and swimming with my 11 month old daughter!! I love experiencing adventures through her eyes. A hammock would be a great place to curl up and read a good book together!

  3. Rosalyne R. says:

    Absolutely love the hammock. It's big enough to fit a family in it. I would love to lounge in this hammock and read an intriquing book while sipping on a cold glass of my favorite raspberry tea. It is extremely hot here in St. Louis so this would be a much needed neccesity to enjoy shade and quiet time.

    Since my husband is a teacher and has the summer off, I am enjoying the summer spending more time with him. Since the kids are now grown, we can just decide to go somewhere on a whim.

  5. Heather says:

  13. mizamy1979 says:

    As hot as its been lately, I like to stay inside with the AC going full blast. We also like to take the kids to the pool.

  14. Cate says:

    This midwest heat dome is a killer! I'm all for hanging out in my air-conditioned house… but I love hammocks when the weather isn't so terribly hot & humid!!

    I love to spend time with my grandchildren playing in the yard or chasing them through the sprinkler. Would love to swing in this hammock with them and read them stories.

    Taking a walk, reading a book outside while drinking some beers.

  20. Jessica says:

    At the beach!

  21. Amanda says:

    Living in Florida it's rarely truly cold, but in the summer months my favorite thing to do is to make a nice light pasta salad, some lemonade and have lunch outside in my screened in pool area. Afterwards, I love to get as comfy as i can in a lounge chair and read near the pool. Sometimes i take a quick dip to refresh myself, then its back to my book. I could stay outside for hours and hours on days like this!

  22. Sarah says:

    I'm too frugal to have a real swimming pool in my back yard, so instead, we ALL (me, my two year old and my 6 mo old) pile into the baby pool (6 inches deep, 2 feet radius). We can't move or even see that we are in water, but we sure can feel the glorious cool water underneath us, that makes this incredibly hot (109 today) summer quite enjoyable!
    Maybe the should family, including daddy, could fit on that awesome hammock

    I'd love to have this in my backyard!

  25. BethJo57 says:

    In Southern Illinois it's great to lay in the shade of the huge maple tree in our backyard with a nice cold beverage and forget about all those things on the "to do list".

    Oh the thought of relaxing in this hammock on a summer evening sounds like heaven!

  33. Joyce K says:

    I like either sitting under a giant shaded tree with a good book and a nice cold glass of sweetened iced tea with lemon or relaxing on a giant hammock (wink) under a tree.

    My favorite lazy pleasure on a summer afternoon is to pack my dinner and a book and head either to the beach or the little lighthouse park. I take a walk, watch the water, smile at the people who go by, read a little, and enjoy my book and the breeze! I am a teacher, so I LIVE for summer time!

    Kick back with a ball game on the radio. Sweet.
