She picked them out herself. She is searching for her Go & Grow by Similac® Food Mix-Ins ☺️ they are a nutrient-packed powder for toddlers that you can mix in with their snacks and she absolutely LOVES pouring and mixing it,this product is available at Walmart or Walmart.com. Yesterday at the beach we mixed it with applesauce, just adding a little nutrition to the mix.Bubble time!This is to prove Kris was actually with us 😂 he is usually behind the camera. Hello 17 week bump!!
We spent another beautiful day at the beach! This is our favorite beach to visit, but it is a bit of a drive away. I can’t wait till we move (in less than a month!!!) we are going to have a beach less then ten minutes away and a pool in our complex! You guys should see my stash of beach supplies. I am not joking when I say I literally have one of those huge plastic totes full of beach gear and toys. I probably could fill another one with Zoey’s and my bathing suits too 🙈.
I always have to make sure I am well prepared when I go to the beach because we like to stay for as long as possible. I always seem to forget something or other so this summer I put together a beach bag with all the essentials so that no matter what I always have the basics when I am at the beach. I decided to put all of it into a list for future use when I move and have to repack my beach bag. Any other moms out there who plan on spending the summer by the beach or poolside feel free to use this list! It has saved me so many times.
Beach Bag Essentials
1. Diaper, Wipes, Swim Diapers
Even if your child is potty trained I find these are essential! Zoey always is so exhausted after the beach that she falls asleep on the car ride home and the last thing you want is to clean pee out of a carseat… Believe me, I have done it.
2. Water Bottle
Water is a must! It is easy to get dehydrated during a long day in the sun.
3. Go & Grow by Similac® Food Mix-Ins
I don’t like leaving snacks in the bag in case they spill or spoil, so I always have Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins. This is a simple powder in individual packets that can be mixed into almost any toddler meal. It is packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, so it gives me peace of mind knowing Zoey is getting everything she needs while we are out and about. Use one Mix-In for one serving (or ½ cup of food). Another good option is the Go & Grow by Similac® Milk Based Powder which can be added to water and comes in different flavors. Zoey loves that one too!! These products are available at Walmart or Walmart.com
4. Sunscreen
5. Sunglasses
6. Bubbles
A simple way to entertain your toddler if you forget to bring all the other beach toys!
7. Beach Toys
I always put a couple things like a small shovel and net in my beach bag just in case I forget the big bag of toys (which has happened more than once!).
8. Change of Clothes
Toddlers are accident prone! This has saved me so many times. Sometimes Zoey will run into the lake fully clothed before I have a chance to get her swim suit on… This is always helpful when that happens!
We always have so much fun at the beach and yesterday was no different! The best part about my beach bag is that I rarely have to replace anything other than the diapers so I don’t have to remember to repack it very often. Even the Go & Grow by Similac® Mix-Ins come in a box with several packets so they will last you awhile (you can purchase the product online by clicking here: http:
