School’s Out…Soon!

The countdown is on….8 more days until…..the kids are out of school!  We are lucky and have a fun transition as we immediately head to our timeshare on the beach for a week.  For some this time of year is a hard transition with questions of what to do and statements of, “I’m bored!”  as some camps have not started yet. My advice is to take a breather! We have been going non-stop with all the activities my kids are in and while they may not sleep late at a young age you can encourage them to linger in bed a little while longer or finish that craft they were working on.

Since I work from home and the kids are in camps part of the summer every bit of time off I have I try to take into consideration that it is their summer vacation. Try to be flexible if you have some time off – ask them what they want to do.  Routine is always good so if you have special trips you take together each summer continue that. We start the summer at the beach and we head to beach again the last week of August. What we do in between is not really planned yet but I am sure it will be fun with my two girls leading the way!

Product Review: Swim & Sport babo BOTANICALS

Our friends at babo botanicals sent us a few products to test out.  We love babo! All of their products are sulfate, paraben and phthalate free. They are also dairy and soy free and made with pure flower and plant extracts.

We tested the swim and sport line which will be a welcomed, must have product this summer season, especially if your kids are in chlorine and salt water all day!  Their Clean Sport Shampoo and Wash helps replenish and hydrate both the hair and skin after a day at the beach or the pool. My kids are on the swim team and this gets rid of the chlorine smell and leaves a nice, fresh scent.  Made with soothing organic aloe vera and cucumber it also leaves their hair shiny. It is great for moms and I love that I only have to bring one bottle to the pool with me.   It is also safe for colored treated hair (bonus for those highlights!).

My older daughter has very blond hair so we have an issue with it sometimes turning green.  We sprayed the Cucumber Aloe Vera UV Sport Conditioning Spray before we hit the pool and it kept her hair soft and not dried out and of course no green.   It helps to resist chlorine, salt and sun! And again, perfect if you want to protect those highlights.

If you are sending your kids to summer camp these upcoming months make sure you send along the babo Rosemary Tea Tree Lice Repel Shampoo and Lice Repel Conditioning spray with them! We used this all year long and I loved the smell of it. It contains Rosemary, Tea Tree and mint which the critters avoid!  According to the babo web site it is clinically proven 95% effective.

Oh the weather – Kids Rain Coats

Summer is here in New England but it’s hot one day, cool the next and a whole lot of thunderstorms in between. Especially when it’s hot outside but still rainy it’s hard to know what to send kids to school with or for the summer to camp with.  Here are some items that might fit the bill.

Especially for older kids a rain jacket that is not too cute is a must and make sure it’s lightweight and packable for those 80 degree thunderstorm days. I like the Land’s End Girl’s packable navigator rain jacket – well because it’s packable and lightweight.

LL Bean’s trail model rain jacket also packs up too! I like how the taped seams seal out moisture

If you are looking for cutsie rain gear try Mini Boden and their anorak jacket.

There is also a site called kidskiandrain with cute rain sets

The Comfy Kid has great them raincoats and rain sets including the Space Hero Rain Coat, Kidorable Ballerina Rain Coat and of course Lucky Cat Rain Coat!
