We had such a nice weekend...it went by way too quickly though! It's always nice when Scott is able to be home with us so we can do some things as a family!! Saturday he and I decided to take Kaelyn to the local pool for the first time. It's been something that we wanted to do for a while now...and are really happy that we finally found the time!! She had such a good time. The water was a little chilly, but she got used to it quickly. They had a zero entrance area for kids...and she enjoyed crawling around in the water there. She also liked walking along the chairs as well....always on the go no matter where we're at! It was such a nice time for us to spend as a family. We stayed for a couple hours and plan on going back again this summer hopefully! More info on our exciting trip to the zoo coming soon....

Isn't it funny the things you learn to do as a mom?? Before I had Kaelyn I never imagined that I could do laundry with one hand while holding her in the other. Even more...I could never imagine that I might water the flowers while holding her on my hip. It's amazing the strength we women have and the things we can do. I suppose this is called multi-tasking which many of us do on a daily basis. Learning to do more than one thing at a time is crucial in motherhood...this is definitely a lesson I'm learning with each day that passes!

Many of us have heard or believe that it's important to protect our skin from the sun when we can. But what some of us may not have considered is that many of these sunscreens that we put on ourselves and our children actually can cause problems of their own...birth defects and even cancers. The chemicals, like benzophenone, paba (in some), Parabens, and more, in many popular brands like Avon, Banana Boat, Neutrogena...even Aveeno...can have side effect when used.

As summer approaches I began thinking about this more and more . I want to find the best sunscreen for Kaelyn that will be as safe as possible for her skin and little body that are natural and fragrance free...and in my search I have found a few safer possibilities when it comes to sunscreens. I'm looking into California Baby (sunscreen and bug spray) and Lavera baby and children sunscreen.

What do you think? Do you have a suggestion for as safer baby sunscreen? I'd love to hear your thoughts and own experiences.

We had such a nice weekend. Scott didn't have to work at all...so we were able to hang out with my family and just enjoy our time together. On Monday Scott did some work in the yard, but also made sure to spend some quality time with Kaelyn and I!! We had such a nice time together. It was so beautiful out that we decided to go to the park just down the road from our house. Kaelyn had never been to the park before, so it was a lot of fun being able to take her there for the first time. There were a lot of kids there and she enjoyed watching all of them as they played. We pushed her in one of those baby swings and also went down the slide with her a couple of times. She thought it was pretty neat! I'm looking forward to more nice days that we can all go to the park together again!!
