Happy Thursday,

I had a hair appointment today to get a cut and color refresh. These are my favorite kinds of time-outs. Being pampered is the best isn´t it?

Since we are in the last weeks of Summer I wanted to share a round-up of all our swimming pictures. We went to the pool a lot of times. It is just so much more fun when you have a little one. 

All of the products we take to the pool with us is linked on my amazon shop page.

one of our favorite Summer activity is going to the swimming pool. Emilia loves the water and I enjoy it watching her splash around and play with her little friends and experience the water. Of couse everywhere we go I am pakcing a lot of stuff that needs to go with us and there is no exception here.

For beach bags I went back and forth but ultimately decided to get the O Bag Beach. I love O Bag and their concept of the possibility to put a personal touch on evey bag you get. 

I got the O Bag Beach in white and selected the navy blue rope handles. It looks very nautical. Perfect for a beach themed bag. 

What to pack into your beach bag

 

UV protecting hat // UV protection clothing is definitely necessary when you plan on spending the day outside by the pool. The sun is so much stronger near the water.

swaddles // I use these to cover her legs when she is sitting in the stroller. They are thin but still have the effects of a blanket.

towel // The hooded towels we got are perfect for sitting around after swimming. The towel doesn´t come off cause it is like a poncho plus it doubles as a blanket to warm up.

shovel // Emilia´s latest obsession. She is taking a shovel everywhere these days.

sun cream // SPF 50 is super important for every baby/toddler especially on pale childrens skin. We have used this sun lotion for the second summer now and we are very satisfied. Got the face lotion as well.

stacking cups // A huge hit whether it is the bath tub or the pool.

fishing net // Such a cute little game. The net comes with 4 little fish to catch with the net,

swim diapers // Definitely a must-have if you are swimming at a public pool. No one likes poop swimming around in the water.

Havaianas // Is there anything cuter than flip flops on a baby??!! This is our favorite brand. The whole family owns Havaianas so Emilia needed a pair too.

swim shoes // These have been pretty helpful cause the indoor pools are really slippery and the tiles by the outdoor pools are super hot in the heat. They are available in tons of colors and Emilia seems to like them a lot.

snack cup // Of course snacks should not be forgotten cause swimming makes hungry. This is great for your little one to pick one by one and not toss everything around.

pacifier // For sleeping in the car after all the splashing which is definitely everytime the case.

As you can see we have lots of stuff with us but the beach bag fits all of it. It is wipeable and washable in the sink which is amazing. Holds up great and the handles are thick and resistant.

Happy Monday my lovely ladies,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

it has been an eventful day today. We went to the Tegernsee near Munich today for a day trip and it was so peaceful there and pretty. I just love any kind of lake. The glittery water, the wind and the all the shades of blue. It really felt like being on vacation today.

Now that it is officially Summer, not only on the calendar but also outside we did a cute little picnic in our garden on Saturday. I wanted to do so for about two years now and finally found the time and commitment. 

Summer Picnic

Having a picnic means eating great food at a surrounding that makes it tastes even better, but what to serve for a picnic. Eating outside on a blanket means you need good finger food that doesn´t spill or makes a lot of dirt if it rolls of the plate or falls on the blanket.

What to serve in terms of food

Any kinds of fruits, bread, cheese, charcuterie, dry cake, vegetables, any kind of salad in a jar, cookies and everything that will work in the heat and won´t spill.

What to serve in terms of drinks

Bubbly is great but to be honest I don´t like to drink a lot when it is this hot outside cause it makes me sweat even more. What always works is water with a splash of juice. It is refreshing, not boring at all and can be pimped with fresh fruit as well as cucumbers or herbs. But please do as you wish.

After seeing how much fun Emilia had at our picnic I am going to try and implement some onto our Summer bucket list. I mean I don´t mind enjoying good food and have her running around with such joy.

Have you guys some fun things planned for Summer time? I would love to hear some. 

See you tomorrow.

having a baby or a toddler brings a lot of new challenges with it and for me one of them is leaving the house. I always feel like I need and extra hour to plan ahead and pack all the things and when I am on the way I am in constant fear of forgetting something. 

But now with Summer time rolling around there is even more stuff to pack and it is not so depending on the places you go. It is the hot climate and several things to be aware of.

For my summer diaper bag edition I added lots of things into my bag I am going to share with you in a while but let´s have a look at this adorable bag first. The brand is called ahdorned and their website offers so many different prints and colors you might take a while to choose from.

I have first seen the shopper bag on Jackie Giardina from Living after Midnite and immediately thought it was stunning plus it checked all my boxes. It is huge (great to use as a travel/mom/diaper bag), it is made out of neoprene material (makes it super easy to wipe clean) and it is under 100 Euro (who wouldn´t want that).

Things to add to your diaper bag – Summer edition

Snack Cup // Toddlers snack all day everyday and this cup from Nip doesn´t loose a single thing and she can reach in nicely.

Bottle // We take her tea or water in this Philips straw bottle with us whenever we go out.

extra outfit // There are lot´s of opportunities why a toddler would need a new outfit but number one in the Summer months are the water fountains everywhere.

wet bag // In case the upper thing happens but also amazing if your baby has a blowout. It also seals in smells.

towel // In case the upper thing takes place.

toys // I always make sure to pack some toys and stuffed animals to keep her occupied in case we need to wait somewhere or are sitting down for a meal.

instant cool pack // This hasn´t been on my mind at all until I read an article about insects especially bees in parcs. Walking around and exploring the world and especially having no fear isn´t the best combo to meet a bee or wasp. These cool instant when you squeeze the packaging. Great for Summer picnics or trips.

plaster // Emilia falls a lot and mostly hurts herself and bleeds a little. She doesn´t mind at all but a plaster kees the dirt out of the wound.

sun hat // There is no excuse for a toddler to not wear a sun hat out in the sun. It is very important. 

sun lotion // We are using the Hipp sunspray with SPF 50 for Emilia. It has great test reviews and I am very happy with it. It is on the pricier side but at least it is safe for our child.

burp cloth // I used these as a blanket in the Summer when she falls asleep in her stroller or even as sun protection in the car window.

diapers / wipes / lotion // Number one things I always carry with me.

disposable changing mat // I added these to our diaper bag cause many restaurants don´t have changing tables at all or the oldest crappiest changing mats and I don´t want my child to lie on there.

hand / face wipes // Very important after every dish or you will have every fly and bee around your toddlers face plus I really hate sticky fingers.

extra bottle of water // In case she is extra thirsty and her bottle isn´t enough I throw a small bottle of water into my bag. 

I hope I haven´t forgotten anyhting. If it is the case I definitely add it to the list. So much to take with you with a little child. We are going on our first vacation with Emilia this Summer and I am anxious about packing. I don´t want to pack the whole house but I also don´t want to forget anything.  Definitely working on a packing list cause I am that type of person.

Hopefully you have enjoyed your holiday today. We went to the local swimming pool today and it felt like vacation.

See you tomorrow.
