What’s In My Lake Bag?

Its Lake Time! Bust out those lake bags and stock them up. Since moving back closer to our parents, we have been spending a lot of time at Kevin’s parents’ lake house. Today, I am sharing our Clarke Family Lake Bag Essentials. Our lake bag essentials have changed a lot this year due to a little one and toddler, but that makes it all the more fun. It is such a blast watching Brooke play in the water and enjoy time outside.

Towels

Towels are a must have for any lake bag unless you want to ride all the way home wet. We pack two adult towels and one toddler towel. I’m sure next year we will have to bring brother a towel of his own. I love big beach towels, so that I can spread out on the dock and really relax.

Life Jackets

Everybody needs life jackets! We all love riding on the boat and jet skis, so it’s life jackets all around for this family. Brooke wears her life jacket for swim time in the lake too. It’s so important to make sure you have the right life jacket for your child’s age/weight range and for yourself.

Hyland’s Earache Drops

These are a big essential for our family. Growing up, I struggled with earaches a lot during summer and Brooke does as well. We had tubes put in Brooke’s ears right before she turned one because of all her ear issues. Hyland’s Earache Drops really help relieve symptoms of earaches such as fever, pain, irritability and sleeplessness, so we make sure to use them after each day of non-chlorinated water fun. Hyland’s Earache Drops are a natural, homeopathically-prepared blend of botanicals and minerals. We love and trust the Hyland’s brand and Hyland’s Earache Drops are such a lifesaver in summertime.

Sunscreen

Our whole family lathers up with sunscreen to protect their skin.  I also make sure Brooke and Brother have their baby sunscreen on every inch of their skin that’s showing. And, Kevin always puts some on as well.

Snacks

You can’t have a successful lake day without good food! I always get an appetite at the lake and I love bringing fun snacks for the whole family. Brooke is a big fan of snack time just like mommy.

Water

Water is a huge must! It is so easy to get dehydrated in the summer heat. We each bring our own bottle of water and normally end up wanting more when we get home. It’s really important to be sure you hydrate all day long.

  • Life with you is certainly never boring! ❤️

Through every hard season and every joy, you’ve been right by my side.

I’m so thankful for the man and husband you are. You encourage me, push me, lead me and always serve our family. 

You are an amazing example of Christ’s love to us and I’m incredibly proud to call you mine.

You’re my very best friend and doing life with you is so fun. You always bring the smiles and the laughter.

I love the life we’ve built and I can’t wait to experience the rest of this life with you. I love you so much, Happy 15th Anniversary @kevinclarke15!
  • The older I get, the more I realize wellness doesn’t have to mean a complicated routine. 🤍#BarleansPartner

I’m focusing on simple habits that actually fit into my everyday life — morning walks, staying hydrated, and adding @Barleans Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil into my routine.

I love that it’s a liquid format, tastes great, and feels like an easy swap instead of adding another pill to my day. ✨

You can find Barlean’s at Walmart!🛒

  • Back-to-school shopping for a junior high girl is about so much more than checking supplies off a list. ✏️🎒✨ #pOpshelfPartner

As moms, we know it’s about helping our kids feel prepared, confident, and excited for a new school year.

Brooke and I found so many cute, affordable back-to-school finds at @popshelf — from school supplies and organization must-haves to accessories and fun extras.

I love that we could find everything in one stop, and at prices that let her pick things that fit her personality without blowing the budget. 🤍 Those little details really do make the first day feel a little more exciting.

Visit your local #pOpshelf for affordable, stylish finds that help your kids feel ready for a fresh start! 📚✨
