The Perfect Summer Kiddie Pool & our Favorite sunscreen

Foldable PVC kiddie pool… perfect all summer long!

We searched for the perfect baby pool for awhile. Our yard isn’t big, we have a lab that loves to swim, and we couldn’t find one that lasted more than a season. Alas, we came across this one, which is advertised as a dog pool, but really, who cares?! My lab can enjoy it without popping it, my kids love it, and we’re on summer #2!! A miracle in itself! The kids also love to put it at the bottom of the slide in the hot weather! See our cute video of those creative little kiddos! Click the link to get yours today!

Blue Lizard Sunscreen

To go along with our favorite pool, we’re going to give a shout out to our favorite sunscreen for us AND for the kids. Blue Lizard Sunscreen is chemical free, and has been our go to since we’ve become moms. Sun exposure is unavoidable, especially in the summer months. Blue Lizard is a No. 1 Pediatrician recommended mineral-based sunscreen brand. For years, their sunscreens were available almost exclusively through dermatologists’ offices. Now, lucky for us, it’s widely available to keep our kids skin safe.

Mineral sunscreens (sometimes called physical sunscreens) use Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide to block harmful UV light from reaching the skin. Instead of absorbing into your skin, mineral sunscreens stay on the surface, deflecting UV rays. It contains no Oxybenzone and no Octinoxate. Further, they are a good choice for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or even rosacea.

Sunscreen is SO important. Studies have shown that by using a quality sunscreen, like Blue Lizard, daily, you can reduce your skin cancer, premature aging, melasma, and dark spots.

Did you know… Children experience a lot more sun exposure than adults. In fact, researchers estimate that we receive up to 80% of our total lifetime sun exposure BEFORE we turn 18! Make sure to apply, and REAPPLY sunscreen throughout the day. Click below to order your Blue Lizard sunscreen!
