Hello, Summer!
Julie Hildebrand
Summer is right around the corner (to be exact 12 school days... but who's counting 😉) and we couldn't be more excited! With more and more places re-opening, we are ready for a big change from last year's quarantined summer. Here are a list of our favorites we'll be sure to have on hand this summer! Apolis Market Bag: We love this bag for so many reasons! First of all, you can customize it to any phrase you like! Amy has it in "Austin TX USA" and Julie has it in "Organic Food. Just Kidding. It's Wine." Also, it has a tough, spill proof inner lining, making it perfect for the pool or the beach. Most importantly though, each bag is hand crafted in Bangladesh by people who receive Fair Trade-certified wages, annual profit dividends, and a retirement fund. Tea Collection Swimsuits: While we also love their prints, we especially love the long-lasting quality and the UPF 40+ protection. Tea offers rash guards, one-piece swimsuits, two-piece swimsuits and plenty of mix and match options. Amy & Julie have both dressed their littles in Tea's swimsuits since they could fit in them, and they have yet to be disappointed. Boden also lands on our favorites list for swimsuits. The high neckline on their rash guards make a long day at the beach or pool a whole lot more enjoyable! Babyganics Suncreen: There's nothing more important than taking care of our skin, and it's never too soon to start! The Babyganics Sunscreen puts our Mama-brain at ease with SPF 50+ and a non-allergenic and tear-free formula. Straw Sun Hat and Matching Bag: This set was just too adorable to pass up! We definitely grabbed the polygon sunnies too! Wish it came in a matching Mama set! PackIt Freezable Lunch Bags: These are perfect for a lunch on-the-go or a picnic during the blazing hot summer days. The walls of these lunch bags freeze so you'll never need an ice pack again! Bunch o Balloons: These are hands-down the greatest invention ever! It's the quickest way to fill up hundreds of water balloons in just a few seconds. You'll be the most favorite house in the neighborhood! Unicorn and Narwhal Chalk: Need we say more? Your mini will love creating magical creatures with these sets! A Good Book: Some of current favorite reads are Cilka's Journey, The Taster, The Things We Cannot Say, and The Woman in the Window. busy bébés busy bags: Keep the kiddos busy and learning all summer long! Maybe you'll even be able to read that good book with these around! And snacks, snacks, snacks, all the snacks. Something about Summer means that kids never stop eating! Is it snack time yet?
