Now that school is out, summer has officially started at our house. My kids are so excited about getting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve had lately. Through the years I’ve found several baby and kid products that have made my life as a mom much easier during the busy summer months. We tend to do a lot of traveling and spend time at the ballpark, pool or beach and these products have really helped me stay organized, as well as keep my kids safe, comfortable and happy.
