If you’ve read my blog a few times, you would know how much I love Summer…and with what seemed like the longest winter yet in New York I am especially psyched about enjoying some fun in the sun with family and friends. So with pool play dates already booked and sexy “mom approved” bathing suit already packed, I’m here to dish on the essentials that every mom must carry at all times in order to make your “Swim Kit” complete.
First, start with an AWESOME BAG…..With all the beach gear needed to occupy your ‘Lil one plus these; change of clothes, diapers, wipes, H20 and a small portable beach chair, I recommend just using one bag for everything. Moms, I know this sounds like a lot, but your back will thank you in the end.
I really love these clear tote bags…you can almost always find everything that is stored away. It comes with several zippers and storage for loose change and your mobile devices. (Amazon, $21)
KEEP THEM SAFE AND HEALTHY WITH THE HUGGIES BRAND…. Just in time for Memorial Day, I received a fab goodie bag from HUGGIES filled with poolside must haves:
(Top first row L-R) LITTLE SWIMMERS DIAPERS, MUNCHKIN FLIP STRAW CUP, (second row L-R) CALIFORNIA BABY SUN SCREEN SPF 30+, SPEEDO KIDS FABRIC ARM BANDS , (bottom row, L-R) BEACH TOWEL, ELLA’S KITCHEN YUM YUMMY COOKIES, BEACH PAIL AND SHOVEL
And don’t forget to CAPTURE ALL THOSE MEMORIES…If you are a not willing to use your mobile devices near water, then purchase this inexpensive waterproof instant camera sold at your local drugstores or online. Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera (Amazon, $9)
Also don’t forget a killer sound system in your beach bag, for Mother’s Day I received the Beats Pill Portable Speaker (Amazon, $159) in red, not only is it a perfect fit in any bag, but its wireless…I am currently working on my Summer playlist and UK artist Sam Smith is definitely on the list. What on your Summer playlist?
Hope these essentials will get your through a fun and smooth summer with your little ones! So, what’s in YOUR BAG???
