Things have changed over the years, but the essentials have not changed! Gone are the days that I slap on some sunscreen bring my hydroflask and a towel and call it a day. Motherhood has me packing up all the goodies for the best and easiest time at ...

Hydration station and a dry rack?!

Lightweight & compact. So easy to set up!

Saltwater Picnic Co. - Picnic Blanket
It might be a SoCal thing, but these are my daily. Just remember if you're at the beach to flip them upside down when you're not wearing them so when you go to put them on they're not burning your feet. Also, you've been warned.. the darker colors do...
