Praises of a Wife and Mommy

We finally hit 70 degrees this weekend!!!  Spring has been so cold and miserable but the last weekend in April it finally showed up and we sure hope it stays.  One thing to remember when the warm weather shows up is sunscreen.  Buying sunscreen today can actually be scary when you realize all the chemicals that are in them.   No need to fear when you order all natural sunscreen from Sun Grubbies .  This weekend was my first weekend to use Tropical Sands All Natural sunscreen.  The sunscreen protected us from sunburn while we were outside for majority of the day.  The face stick was easy to apply and rub in.  The regular sunscreen has a fresh citrus smell.  I learned quickly that this sunscreen can go a long way. My daughters arms were a little white from using a bit too much.   Thank you Sun Grubbies for sending me product in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions expressed are my own and I was not paid for this ...

S-SUNSCREEN!!  The sun can burn your skin in under 15 minutes so always were sunscreen!  I usually stick with at least SPF 30 but at least use SPF15.  Check the expiration dates, reapply after swimming or after 2 hours of being in the sun.  Also apply 15 minutes before you go out in the sun to allow the chemicals to react with your skin. S-SUNGLASSES!  You want a pair that will block the UVA and UVB rays to protect your eyes from cataracts H-HATS!  I always put a hat on my baby boy for protection. C-CLOTHING!  You can wear light and breathable clothes that cover much of the skin.  This is the hardest thing as a mom to find light clothes that breath for my little man. Remember that even on hazy or cloudy days you still can get sun burn.  BE CAREFUL and use some of the above tips for...

I was a bit of an idiot today!  I was outside from 9:30-2 and never applied sunscreen!  I usually am very good at remembering to apply it, and its not like I forgot I put it on my daughter but I had Titus in the Moby and did not want to get any on him so I said to myself I would wait till we got to the park and take him out of the Moby and apply some... never did!  DUMB mistake by me! LOOK at ME!!  I look like a big raccoon since I was wearing sunglasses!  LOL!  My hubby came home from work today and I did not get a "hi sweetie how was your day" I got "hahahaha, you forgot your sunscreen" followed with a even bigger laugh.  I usually get one little burn to help me remember to apply sunscreen the rest of summer but this year I got a bad burn!  :(  ICKY! Even my neck is red and the back of my legs!  LESSON LEARNED!  I will not forget sunscreen!  I have to admit this is the second time this year I have gotten sun ...
