As the temperatures rise, it's time to think about sun safety for little ones! These tips will keep the whole family happy and healthy in the summer months.This last weekend, it reached 94 degrees here in Los Angeles.  It was HOT!  And I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't prepared.  Somehow, I thought we had another month or so before the heat hit…..and I was wrong! So, in anticipation of a hot summer……we're talking about sun safety today.sun safetyAs temperatures rise, be sure to be prepared.  That uncomfortable heat? Can be dangerous for babies and toddlers!As the temperatures rise, it's time to think about sun safety for little ones! These tips will keep the whole family happy and healthy in the summer months. sun safety4Sun Safety Tips:

  1. Hydrate: Keep a water bottle with you.  In high temperatures, it's easy become dehydrated.  I always realize how thirsty we are when we're out and about and then can't find water bottles.  Bring an insulated water bottle with you filled with water and ice.
  2. Avoid Direct Sun: Middle of the day sun is the WORST.  Try to avoid sun during peak hours (between 10 am and 3 pm), or to at least stay in the shade.
  3. Shield: Be sure that you are prepared with a hat, coverup, and sunglasses.  I keep an extra of each of these items in our diaper bag during warm weather.
  4. Apply sunscreen frequently: This is HUGE.  We keep sunscreen in our bathrooms and our diaper bags.  Our sunscreen of choice? Blue Lizard® Australian Sunscreen.  Blue Lizard sunscreen was originally made in Australia, where standards for sunscreen are some of the highest in the world.  Housed in a BPA-free bottle, it offers UVA and UVB protection.  Our favorite thing? The bottle changes color when it contact with harmful sun rays.  It's a great reminder to reapply sunscreen.  Their Baby sunscreen is perfect for Lydia's sensitive skin, and I use it as well!  Don't forget to reapply sunscreen every few hours, after swimming, or after excessive sweat.

    What an adorable post! I def hear you, being in LA with the scorching sun on a summer day is no fun for kids. My son actually have gotten pretty bad sun burns from school because they didn’t apply enough sun screen through out the day and poor little guy was hurting for days after!! Super great meeting you this past weekend, we def should get together with our little girls and have a lunch or even a collab post with more mommy bloggers? 🙂

☀️Favorite thing you did this summer?⠀⠀✨How it started…….these moments.⠀⠀📸How it ended…..we aren’t QUITE there yet. But, I’m packing the rest of the summer full of memories.⠀⠀☀️We still have:⠀- a Disneyland trip for my mom, Lydia and I this weekend (we started a girl’s trip tradition last summer and I’m excited to do a disney weekend together)⠀- a few beach days planned⠀- 3 more Padres games to go to⠀- the touring production of the Lion King⠀- and…..I have a grown up on my own Disneyland trip with my friends at Undercover Tourist (aka @themeparkfrog ) at the end of the month (I’m super excited to go with their team and a group of creators…we’ll be doing some special activities and sharing a TON of special things you can do at the parks)⠀⠀✨I can’t believe it’s almost over. This summer has been a gift.⠀⠀📸Now, tell me what your favorite summer moment has been!
🐾 Friends…….meet Frodo. Frodo, meet our fri 🐾 Friends…….meet Frodo. Frodo, meet our friends. 🐾💕We adopted Frodo last week through the Rescue House here in San Diego (highly recommend for anyone local)…..and he’s already become the king of the house.💕I had a TON of pets growing up (cats, a dog, rabbits, lizards, fish, chickens)…..and I’m so excited that Lydia will get to have this experience.🐾Do you have a pet?
💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming righ 💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming right now……..’Tis the season.  When we bought our house, I envisioned Lydia having all her friends over to swim….and this summer? We are FINALLY getting to have all the pool party play dates we’d hoped for.I just added this bucket game to our pool toys and OMG it’s so much fun (Robbie and I have used it more than any of the kids, ha!)While we picked up the game, we also did a water check.  Just an FYI, Leslie’s also offers “always-free” water testing at all their locations. You bring in a sample of your water to any Leslie’s location for your free test, and they can help you come up with a plan to treat any issues.Well…..who wants to come over for a pool party?!?<LesliesPoolPartner>#Leslies #WeKnowPools #LesliesPoolSupplies, #LesliesPoolCare #LetsPool @lesliespoolcare
📢My Dimpled Thighs have Entered the Chat. Phew 📢My Dimpled Thighs have Entered the Chat.Phew. There was a time when I would have never shared ANY of these…..because…….cellulite. Dimples. Veins. Marks.Just a reminder that dimples, veins, cellulite, and stretch marks are a normal part of a lived in body.Here’s to beach days, feeling free, and learning to let go of things that held us back.Is there something holding you back right now?

Do you have any special back to school traditions in your family?⠀⠀🛏<zulily partner> One of our favorites? We always pick out brand new pjs for First Day of School Eve.  I did this as a teacher too, as silly as it seems, it’s a fun way to celebrate and…..we all need new comfy pjs a few times a year anyways!⠀⠀🛍Want to start your own Back to School pjs tradition? These pjs are a KILLER deal in Zulily’s Back to School Shop that we helped curate (as in……less than the cost of a movie ticket which you never see for 100% cotton pjs).⠀⠀❤️I’m sharing a link in stories, and will be sharing a few more Back to School tradition ideas throughout the week!⠀⠀@zulily #zulilyfinds
