We’ve already talked about what’s going in mom’s suitcase for South Carolina, so now how about the boys? Here are some seasonal essentials for your boys at the beach this summer.

1. This hat says it all.

2. I am so that mom at the pool who never has goggles for her kids. That changes this summer.

3. B is obsessed with these; obsessed. Perfect for plane rides and dinners out.

4. Ah, too cute, right?

5. I’m trying to keep L excited about reading this summer. I so loved the Nancy Drew series; hoping he will get into the Hardy Boys.

6. Loving this all organic spray sunscreen for kids! Maybe this will entice me to actually put sunscreen on them more (I am so that mom as well).

7. Our toes hit the pool deck and this goes on B. Peace of mind, man, peace of mind. And woohoo for him swimming without mom in the pool!

8. Just ordered L’s new Rainbows. Apparently he’s grown 3 sizes since his last pair – whoops.

9. Ah, a classic! Little boys in lacoste makes my heart swell. 

These are just a few of the items going into my boys’ suitcases this summer. What are your must-have items for going to the beach with boys?

Anyone dreaming of summer vacation? For a girl with a torn up kitchen, it can’t come soon enough. I’d escape already if it weren’t for L. He’s always the problem with school, sports, etc. Ha.

Anyway, in T minus 26 days, we are out of here and back to the beach at Isle of Palms, South Carolina. A new little tradition started by M’s side of the family, this will be our third time going with the whole crew. So much fun.

And without further ado, here’s what’s going into my suitcase. I hope it gives you an idea or two for any trips you may be jetting off on this summer.

1. When all you basically wear is a swimsuit, a new one must be on the agenda. I’m loving this diffused floral print, such a refreshing change from my typical navy stripes. Still deciding on bottoms but don’t worry, there will be some.

2. A trip to the beach without Rainbow sandals? It just can’t be.

3. I am drooling over this Stella & Dot necklace. The turquoise beading is removable, so can be worn simply as a layered gold necklace as well. Genius.

4. Fresh pajamas are always a must when you’re traveling with extended family. 

5. J Crew made a killer version of this dress two summers ago. Luckily I grabbed it in both white and orange. I’ve gotten so many compliments and always felt bad telling people it was from a few years ago. I saw this version recently on Boden and it’s almost identical. The absolute perfect dress for when it’s completely sweltering out and you literally feel like wearing nothing.

6. Can’t wait to start reading this book by Paula Hawkins.

7. A completely organic spray sun screen for me and the boys? Loving everything about this brand.

8. When it’s 1000% humidity I completely give up on any blow drying or straightening of my wild wane. There will be a lot of braids, messy buns, and beachy waves. This spray helps it all come together.

9. I don’t leave the house without this product, ever. The boys’ hands get sprayed often and I spray down the airplane armrests and tray tables before we sit down. Because you know no one else has. Gross.
