I honestly think that finding the perfect floatation device for a little one is nearly impossible! There are so many floaties on the market for kids who are learning to swim, kids who are not quite swimming, and even babies. While most of them go by weight range and sometimes ages or a skill level, those are not always 100% accurate. When you are in the aisle at the store and you pick one that you think is going to fit your kid, you won't actually know how well it works until you get it … [Read more...]

Minimalistic Beach Days
I will never forget the first time my bestie and I tried to take our four little ones to the beach for the first time. We struggled, major struggle bus.

We had … [Read more...]

What We Do Wednesday: Sand, Fun, and Friends
This past week has been full of sand, fun, and friends, which is always good for my heart and soul. We were blessed to spend a morning at the beach with some of our closest friends followed by some adult time for me that same afternoon and evening. It's amazing what a day of fun and adult conversation can do for your mood. Our little Shrimp also had her second eat tube surgery this past week. I know that doctors do these surgeries everyday but it's always a little scary when it's your baby. … [Read more...]
