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 Hump Day,

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

having a toddler who loves the water is one of the sweetest things. It is such a joy to give a bath to Emilia. She loves splashing around in the tub and playing with the water overall. I am super happy that she never had a problem with water. Never cried in the tub and although she isn´t a fan of washing her hair it isn´t a huge problem.

So to maximize her joy I went on the hunt for some baby bath gadgets and let me tell you I have found a ton of good stuff, not only for baby.

Amazon is my one stop shop for everything and it has gotten even more during the lockdown cause where do you get the things you want and need when every other shop is closed.

Baby Bath Gadgets

….

cushion // This will do amazing thins for your bones. Most of the time my husband gives Emilia a bath. He sits inside of the tub with her but if it´s my turn I am truly thankful for this cushion cause my knees really hurt after 30 minutes.

set of 4 water cups // Got this the other months for Emilia to play and she definitely loves watching the water run through. It is the cutest thing how she tries to fill them up all the time.

toy collector // This comes in very handy if you have lots and lots of toys in the tub with your little one. Just collect them with this great bath gadget before you drain the water. It holds a ton plus excess water will run through the mesh material. The toys can dry while stored away.

hair wash wale // I have seen this at another blogger´s page and I thought this was a great idea. We do love the water around here but hair washing it not in our top ten. The concept is great and it would work but now she knows what will happen when she see´s us getting the whale and isn´t happy about it at all. 

bamboo wash clothes // These are amazing. It is a set of 10 and the little wash cloths are super soft. 

bath mat // Added this to the tub to make sure she won´t slip and fall. It works out great.

bath towel // We have a couple of these towels, they are the best when it comes to wrap your little one tight and warm.

colorful cups  // Stacking cups are a new favorite in our house. Emilia loves to play with them now. She tries to stack and fills them up with water and splashes it around.

little boats // I thought these little boats are super cute but she isn´t as interested. Maybe later, maybe never.

octopus toy // This is a real hit. She totally loves her octopus toy and I like it to. It is super cute. The ring game isn´t her favorite but she loves to play with all of the things.

 

Shooting this post was so much fun cause Emilia loves the water so much and she takes up any opportunity to take a bath or go swimming.

See you tomorrow. July is going to be very interesting as I am starting a new series calles 31 dresses of Summer. Stay tuned.

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.
