Summer is in full swing, and I couldn’t be more excited to share some of my absolute favorite discoveries that have added a little spark to this season for both myself and my family. Let’s face it – as moms, even when we try to shop for ourselves, we end up buying for everyone else. So, I’m excited to highlight some delightful finds that have brought a smile to my face this summer.
Target Flip Flops – The Ultimate Comfy Companion!
Oh, how I adore these trusty Target flip flops! They’re not only stylish and affordable but also incredibly comfy and supportive. Whether running errands or strolling on the beach, these flip flops keep my feet happy all day long.
And for my son, (who can’t keep slip-on sandals on his feet), this pair with adjustable straps was perfect. Quick and easy to put on, he pretty much wore them all summer (and they’re still holding up and looking good).
2. Trader Joe’s Facial Sunscreen – A Sun-Kissed Glow without the Grease
Summer calls for sunscreen, and Trader Joe’s facial sunscreen has become my go-to for protecting my skin from harmful rays. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and goes on like velvet. This stuff is seriously amazing!
3. Turkish Towels – Versatile and Cute!
Turkish towels have been a game-changer for our beach and pool days. They’re super absorbent, lightweight, and dry quickly – perfect for lounging on the sand or wrapping around ourselves after a dip in the pool. I love how small they fold up too!
4. Hammock-Style Chair – Relaxing Beach Vibes!
This was a game-changer for Logan at the beach this summer. He spent hours in this chair. Being able to rock it by himself was awesome, and the high sides made him feel very secure. This chair will be a staple for every beach trip to come!
5. My Stanley Cup – Hydration on-the-go!
Staying hydrated is essential, but if it’s not in front of me, I’m likely to forget about it. So, filling my Stanley Cup in the morning and taking it with me is key. Especially in this summer heat, I am amazed at how cold my water stays in the Stanley Cup. And all the cute colors are fun too : )
A while back, I started to panic when my son was about to outgrow the disposable swim diapers from the store. But don’t worry, I found a solution. These reusable swim diapers are great quality. We have 2 pairs that we wash and rotate. Definitely a must-have if your big kid loves the water and needs extra protection.
7. Polarized Sunglasses from Amazon – Sunny Days Made Stylish!
Who doesn’t love a great pair of sunglasses (especially for less than $15)? I was really impressed at how well these shades protected my eyes from the sun’s glare. Because they were so inexpensive, I wasn’t even mad when my first pair sunk in the lake and I had to order another pair.
I hope you’ll like some of the little things that brought joy to me and my family this summer (ok, mostly me). Now it’s your turn! What are some things you’re loving this summer? I’d love to hear your favorite finds and see what’s making your summer extra special. Sometimes it’s the little things…
