Happy Saturday

I hope you are all having a great weekend! 

It is rainy here, but I always have this little sunshine to brighten my day!






Gosh, I could just smooch those cheeks all day! 

BTW...I know this started out as a DIY blog...well, I actually have some projects in the works! So, stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.

Lake Baby

Friday, May 29, 2015

We had our first trip to the lake this weekend! Rowan loves to be outside, and I knew he was going to love the lake. He spent most of the time relaxing (he napped on my lap for well over an hour) and showing off his sweet smile! 



We were only at the lake for a few hours, but I already have a list of must haves for our next trip. Luckily, I had most of them with us this weekend. 



Sunglasses are a must with our little guy! He loves them so much, and I am glad he has something to protect his little eyeballs from the bright sun. Every time we put them on his face, he breaks out in a smile...cutest thing EVER!



Sunscreen is a no brainer! We don't want the little man to get a sun burn! Our favorite has been the Babyganics brand. 



It wouldn't be a trip to the lake without some swimming! We didn't have any trunks for Rowan this time, but it was really too cold to swim. These trunks from Carter's are just the cutest...and so are these



The KidCo Go Pod has been a lifesaver for us! It folds up and stores inside a lawn chair bag, which is way easier than hauling other stationary toys to the lake. There is also this awesome collapsible high chair that we will be using when Rowan gets a little bigger. 



So this last thing isn't really a necessity, but it really is adorable. You have to have some tunes when you are relaxing at the lake. I love that this radio keeps my phone or iPod tucked inside...and it is water resistant! Perfect for the lake! 



I will probably bring the Solly Wrap along, next time we go to the lake. There were moments when I could have used both hands while holding the baby, and that would have really come in handy. I am sure my list of essentials will grow as the summer goes on and Rowan gets more mobile...gosh, I wish time would slow down! 



What are your must have items lakes and babies?!
