Summer Essentials + Sun Bum giveaway

I am excited to be teaming up with some fabulous mama bloggers today.

 Now that we are seven days into the 'official' summer, 

we are each sharing seven of our summer essentials. 

Summer days are magical, warm and full of sunshine. 

The essentials keeping our little ones comfortable and happy, and us mamas sane + stylin'. 

 1. Sun Bum Sunscreen- Smells just like summer should smell; banana/tropical delicious smell.
     It lasts without dripping in your eyes. Sunscreen sticks are a must for baby faces, it is so much            easier to apply. (+ this packaging is too fun).
 *Sun Bum has sponsored a giveaway today!*All you have to do is comment on this post.Details below.
                                               
2. Sun hats- So essential for everyone, but especially those little kids heads.
     I love this one we have because it has a very wide brim, and stays on all day long.
3. Water bottles- When it's hot hot hot, we drink a lot! This bottle rocks because it is insulated,
     and my little one can't spill it at all. The jet-valve feature is perfect for us.
 4. Terry cloth cover up for the little one. This is seriously the most handy item. Zips so quick when 
    you get the babes out of the water. Nice and cozy.
5. I bought these flip flops about a week ago, and I have rarely taken them off since. They are the
    perfect pair for casual/pool and beach, because of the style they can be worn a bit dressed up too.
6. Dress- So, it's obvious. Dresses are the ultimate in comfy, carefree, summer style. One and done!
    I love this dress because I can wear it to the pool, or throw on some heels and wear it to dinner. 
7. Texturing sea salt spray- It's no secret, I don't have a lot of time in the summer to wash/style my
    hair. This spray is perfect!! It gives me that tousled wavy beach hair I always want. It's almost as
    good as the salt water itself... almost. The next best thing.
