My 2024 Summer Essentials

• The Bogg Bag is everywhere this summer and deserves the hype. Easy to clean and comes with clear pouches that attach into the holes so you can put important things (or snacks) and not have them buried at the bottom!
• My kiddos live in Crocs. I adore these glittery ones that we have for my daughter.
• The Lululemon Align shorts are so comfortable and perfect for chasing the kids or wearing under dresses. Love them.
• We've spent hundreds on sunscreen this summer and are huge Supergoop fans. It goes on clear without a white residue. This pump bottle is big and convenient for the whole family.
• Screen time can get out of control in the summer. I like to use the Tonie Box instead for listening to stories and songs as an alternative to the TV. My almost 6 year old still loves it.
• Kid size Yeti water bottles are great for camp and are dishwasher safe. You can even get them customized!
• Layers for chilly nights at the beach are essential which is why I love the Cub Sweatsuit that we made here at Jhula. It's lightweight and with beautiful prints, my kids love them and use them often.
• Board games are so fun at this age and the Pete the Cat games are great introduction. Easy for the kids to understand and follow the rules.
• I know Lifetime Fitness is not accessible to everyone and it is $$$ . BUT - did you know they include 2 hours PER DAY of childcare in their membership fee?? I had no idea. We signed up and I've already started exercising more knowing that my kids are having fun and I can take time for myself. It's been a game changer for me.
• Hedley and Bennett make great aprons and even ones in kids sizes. My kids love to help in the kitchen and the apron we have from this brand is very well made and high quality.  

PS - I get no commission on any (non-Jhula) products listed here. These are purely recommendations out of my own experience of what's been helpful for me and my family.
