With the 4th of July right around the corner, I’m diving into how to make your beach or pool day with the kiddos absolutely unforgettable. Whether you’re lounging poolside or hitting the sandy shores, I’ve got you covered with all the essentials for a chic and fun-filled day under the sun.
Morning Surprise Basket for the Kids
Start the day off right with a special basket for your littles! I love gifting my kids a new swimsuit, cool sunglasses, and fresh beach toys to kick off the festivities. It gets them excited and ready to hit the waves with style!
Packing Snacks and Cooler Essentials
Snacks? Check. Aperol Spritz for mom? Double check. I always pack a mix of healthy treats and some fun goodies in our snack containers. Don’t forget to chill those drinks in a cooler for a refreshing sip under the sun. 
Mom’s Stylish Outfit
For mom’s outfit, I’m all about comfy vibes. Think linen pants or shorts paired with a cute swimsuit that matches the kiddos’, big sun hat, stylish sunglasses, and comfy sandals. Coordinate with your little ones for that adorable family photo op!
Packing It All Together
I swear by a big tote bag and a stroller wagon to carry everything we need. Throw in those fun floaties (matching, of course!), a life vest for the kids’ safety, a cozy beach towel, beach chairs, and an umbrella or canopy for shade.
