Summer is here, and that means a lot more family time, and outdoor activities! Whether you're hitting the beach, hiking the mountains, or just hanging out in the backyard, there are a few items you'll want to keep on hand to stay safe and healthy!
Here's a roundup of 5 summer essentials we recommend always having ready to go:
1. SPF
The sun's UV rays are no joke! They can be very harmful to our skin. Regardless of the activity you're partaking in, if it's in the sun be sure to keep a bottle of sunscreen nearby at all times. Aim for an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every two hours, or more often if you're sweating or swimming!
2. Snack Storage
You're guaranteed to have snacks on the go with toddlers and small children. We've got just the thing! Our glass breastmilk storage jars are perfect for keeping all their favorites ready to go. If out for a long period of time, we recommend keeping a couple snacks packed for all their adventures this summer!
3. A Water Bottle
Hydration is KEY, especially when the kiddos are out in the hot summer sun all day long. A water bottle is definitely an essential to keep on hand during the warmer season. Our stainless steel straw cup in particular is made durable for little hands and will keep their drinks nice and cool.
4. Sunglasses
Summer is all about the sunshine so it's no surprise our next recommendation is related to it! Pack some sunglasses for you and the family when going out to keep everyone's eyes protected from the sun's UV rays.
5. A Sun Hat
Lastly, to continue with UV protection, it's nice to keep any kind of hat that will shield your head and face from sun rays close by! A hat is an essential that is easy to keep in the car, or by your house entryway at all times so you're ready whenever you need to step outside.
