Beach Preparation

It's Summer time and let's face it, the beach is the place to be. What to pack? If you're taking your family use bags that are easy to carry around. Also, make sure when you pack your sunscreen you pack at least 2 bottles and reapply. Always make sure your little ones are hydrated. 

Truly consider investing in the two piece suits that have sleeves for little ones. This helps to avoid sunburn on the shoulders. I truly love them! It helps! Here is a list of what I take.

1. Sunscreen (2 bottles)

2. Beach mats (bamboo rollups) easy to clean

3. Ice Chest (full of water)

4. Umbrella (trust me it helps)

5. Towels (take at least 1 per person plus 2)

6. Snacks

7. Diaper bag with extra clothes (optional I have little ones)

8. Water shoes for everyone plus flip flops

9. Gallon of water (use to rinse off feet when you get to the car)

10. floats or tubes

11. A smile and a water proof camera

Have fun and enjoy yourselves. Make sure you build a sand castle and hunt for sea shells. Enjoy the family time. 

 

Stay at Home Mom/Working Mom

Whether you're a Stay at home mom or a working mom the job is never done. Let's put it this way its never easy to do either one. As a stay at home mom all I want to do is get a little me time and as a working mom I just want to go home.

Both are challenging and it's a balance. I am a stay at home mom and I have worked from home too. Only to learn you will never be completely satisfied but, I have found both can be fulling rewarding. We all make sacrifices of all kinds. Whether we put off school/career to start a family or we sacrifice our family offer them better opportunities later. 

It's a struggle. Either way, remember the grass is always greener on the other side.
