Summer is officially here which means everyone is spending a ton of time outside in the sun. Staying indoors is totally out of the question, and we all know how pooped kids get when they play all afternoon in the pool.  It’s never a bad idea this time of year to opt for swimming and playing outside. When Jake goes in the pool we are adamant that he wear a swim shirt and we apply lots and lots of sunscreen to him.

Let me tell you about my must-have for summer: Babyganics.  A great brand with organic products for everyone in the family!

The Babyganics SPF 50+ sunscreen lotion has the best consistency of all sunscreen lotions – and trust me: we have tried them all!  It’s not at all greasy and is very easily applied.  It’s also really useful when applying to larger areas like back and legs.  The lotion contains zinc oxide – the most important ingredient for a sunscreen – and has a slew of oils that help to moisturize the skin. The lotion is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.  Don’t forget to re-apply it thereafter!

I also love the Babyganics SPF 50+ sunscreen stick because it’s just so easy. It’s extremely compact and goes on very smoothly. I like the stick especially for little kids because, unlike lotion, it is extremely unlikely to get it in their eyes.  This is a great alternative if you have a fussy child  (like I do) who makes it difficult for you to put on sunscreen. Kids can even use the stick themselves without help: Jake took the stick and applied it to both himself and Chloe. It takes two seconds to apply and is great to keep handy at all times because it can’t spill.  The stick is the easiest way to make sure that Jake and Chloe wear sufficient sunscreen just like I do.

Mosquitoes are a big problem in Miami… but it seems like I can’t escape them anywhere because when we were visiting my sister in Wisconsin this past weekend I gotten bitten up there too!  The Babyganics natural insect repellent is perfect to keep the critters away because it doesn’t smell chemically and it is deet-free – so won’t harm the kiddos. It’s made from plants and essential oils and really gets the job done. I always keep insect repellent in my bag because getting bitten up by mosquitoes is no fun for anyone.

Thanks to Babyganics for helping us stay safe out there this summer!
