The ONE Thing You Need For Summer

I am a member of the buybuy BABY babyhood influencer network, however all opinions expressed in this post are my own. #buybuyBABY #babyhood #sponsored

SUMMER!!! Raise your hand if you are ready for Summer! You can’t see, but I am raising both hands super high and doing a happy dance. This will be our first summer on a “teacher schedule” so with Kevin off for two months, we have lots of fun plans and new routines to try out. We are counting down to pool days and spending time at the Lake. While we have been extremely busy the past few weekends, we stopped at buybuy BABY two weekends in a row to stock up on essentials for Summer. While we were there, I kept telling Kevin we just need ONE thing for Summer. He rolled his eyes as I filled up our cart.

But, there really is ONE Thing You Need For Summer….

Sun Protection!

I don’t know about your family, but we spend way more time outside in the summer months. And, I expect to spend even more time this year, so I am really focused on protecting my babies, and myself and Kevin from the sun!

buybuy BABY had everything we needed to stock up for our fun summer activities. They had a great section of summer items right when we walked in the door. We found sunscreen, seats with umbrellas, hats, full cover swimsuits, towels that drape over the babies with a hood, you name it!

They had such a great selection of items to keep our babies protected. They even had all types of floats and toys to enjoy as well. Lets just say Brooke was begging for all the bubble guns, pool toys, sunglasses and even a new water table!

Don’t forget to head to buybuy BABY for your sun protection needs this summer and to stock up on the latest and greatest Summer toys! Their friendly staff will be their to help you find Baby Kevin’s awesome Astros hat to celebrate another great season. (I’m kidding, these are in the Katy store though!)

  • 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! 📚✨

  • Save or splurge? 👀

I finally compared the viral Amazon shorts to my Vuori favorites... and here’s my take. 💕

The Amazon pair is a great budget-friendly option (just make sure to size up!), but when it comes to comfort, Vuori still takes the win for me.

If you’ve been debating between the two, this side-by-side comparison should make the decision a whole lot easier.

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links! 🎀 And tell me... are you team save or team splurge? 👇🏼

  • Okay Target... you really got me with these ❤️✨

I found 4 maxi dresses that are cute and easy to throw on. You’ll keep reaching for these all summer. Great for running errands, heading to brunch, vacation, or just trying to look put together without thinking too hard. 😂

Now help me decide... which one’s your favorite? 1, 2, 3, or 4?👇🏼
