SUMMER ESSENTIALS FOR 2025
SUMMER TOTES
As a mom of 3, we love to go on summer day trips, especially the beach! Having a tote is essential for packing all our kids’ must haves for the day! Here are some of my favorites.
ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR // FIVE // SIX // SEVEN // EIGHT
WHATS IN MY BEACH BAG
We love going to the beach! Here’s what I make sure to always pack in my beach bag.
Having a pop up tent to escape the beaming sun is a must have! This is especially great to have if you have kids.
This cute little zip travel case is a must have! You can put all of your toiletries like sunscreen, lip balm, hair ties, and more in this.
This is my favorite lotion to apply after being in the sun all day. Its cooling effect feels great, especially if you get a little sunburn.
Beach towels are essential! I love these colorful striped ones!
These are great for storing kids wet swimsuits!
If you like to listen to music on the beach, this Bluetooth speaker is the best!
It can get hot on the beach. I love this mini portable fan!
If you have hair that gets easily tangled, packing a hair brush is helpful!
A mini first aid kit comes in handy, especially if you have little ones!
Another beach bag essential for the little ones would be beach toys! I love this set.
SUMMER SANDALS
Another summer essential is a good pair of sandals! Here are a few of my favorites.
