summer has officially begun.
that means it's time to bust out that beach gear!
whether you are off to the beach, the lake, or the pool; it can make or break a day, depending on the gear you have busted out.
Needless to say, that's where I come in:
to figure out that day trip to (insert your destination here)
1) first on my list is a bag I spotted a mom toting at the botanical gardens. It is larger than it looks in the picture and the price is incredible! This bag comes in 3 different prints.

2) next up- coolers.
we all need them- for snacks, drinks for the kids, and of course beers for the grown ups!
Here are two much needed coolers- I think you'll know which one is for pool day with the kiddos.
cooler and speaker!?! sign me up.

at 20 bucks, I'm thinking of grabbing a few more for the pool/lake :)

3) beach towels.
you always need at least 2 per person, so why not try to color coordinate? buy all green for mom, navy for dad, and turquoise for the baby. (I called green cause it's my fav color!)
gotta catch these fast or soon the sale will end!
great site for one-of-a-kind finds!
4) we all need them, usually we have to have them. In my case- it is way better finding one for Linden than me! She doesn't even have to try them on!!
yep, we are talking about swimsuits-
how cute are these?
there is some serious esther williams going on right here-
the cutest. with linden's red sandals = perfect!
now, if I only had a little boy...
5) next up- toys!
what's a pool without all the gadgets.
Well- here is pretty much all you need (so I'm told):
This toy has all the essentials- easy packing and it comes in the mesh- enough room to add other small toys like water sticks. Just put it in the mesh, dunk it in the water, and your toys are sand free!

6) don't forget about mom!
She needs a cute cover up for packing, loading, un-loading, carrying, collecting, cleaning, wiping, loading up again...
well, you get my drift.
no reason we can't be cute doing it :)
pretty darn cute, huh?

Here's another option with the same concept, but total body "coverage"

from beach to dinner?
add leggings and sandals for a refreshed look!

If you're off this week to a beach or lake, "happy packing!"
Look for more updates on cool pool tools!
And so I leave you with this:
