Get a shoe organizer

Grab a clear show organizer and hang it on the bathroom door. Fill it with swimsuits, hats and sunscreen. 

Then you can just throw everything in your beach bag and leave. 

Create a car kit! 

I talked about this in this post here. It's magic. You'll want one. 

 

Carry a wet bag

This sounds fancier than it is. But grab a reusable grocery bag, stick it in your car and use it for wet clothes at the splash pad.

Get a water container for the yard

We use a large glass water container with a spigot, I fill it with ice water and as we're playing outside my kids fill up their little cups. And I think they drink more. 

Homemade owie spray is your best friend. 

Bumps, scrapes and burns happen in summer. We love this homemade owie spray. I even use it on myself. It takes the sting out and works way better (in my opinion) than Neosporin spray.

Ouchie spray: 

Two-ounce spray bottle: 
Fill with fractionated coconut oil
10 Drops each Frankincense, Tea Tree and Lavender Oils 

Get ready for quick changes

I love hooded towels to allow for quick changes by the pool or at the beach. These hooded towels allow for privacy while I help my kids change or dress my toddler.
