Summer {safety} Essentials

Schools out

and

Summer is just about to officially kick off!

A couple of important safety things that I think are worth mentioning...

Sunscreen!

We all know we should be using it...

So don't forget to slather it on yourself

and the kids every time you're outdoors.

I love the Neutrogena spray for my son {photo above}!

It's waterproof, sweatproof, and goof proof!

Just spray and go!

The other summer essential for us...

an on-the-go First Aid kit!

I love my little kit that was made by etsy seller, Pillow Sew Cute.

It's called - what else - but the

Ouch Pouch :)

Just fill this handy (and adorable) see-through pouch with all of your first aid essentials...

Don't have an Ouch Pouch?!
You can easily make your own little toteable first aid kit using any little bag or pouch
(a zip top makeup bag would work great or even just a plastic ziplock bag).

Some ideas to fill your own kit:

:: Sunblock ::
:: Insect Repellent ::

:: Bandages ::

:: Neosporin ::

:: Medications (Allergy, pain reliever, diabetes, etc...) ::

 :: Inhaler ::
:: Travel-size tissues ::

:: Thermometer ::

:: Antiseptic wipes ::

:: Burn ointment ::

:: Sanitizing hand gel ::

:: Sunprotecting Chapstick ::

:: Tweezers (for splinters!) ::

and don't forget the lollipop to soothe the pain!  :)

They come in a variety of sizes and you can choose your fabric pattern.

I choose a cute, kid-friendly hiking print called Happy Trails Camping.

I love that I have a handy little kit to drop in my bag or suitcase and go!

Summer fun should be(or at least seem) effortless!

And we don't want anyone's good time to be ruined by a scape, burn, cut or splinter!

If you're like us,

you'll be spending a lot of time outside this summer,
on the road, or on the go.

Simply toss one of these 
portable first aid kits
in your bag
and you're ready for anything...
camping, hiking, fishing, biking,
swimming, vacations, road trips, etc...

Make the most of every blessed, joy-filled summer moment!

And be safe while doing all of your favorite activities!!



Lazy summer days, fishing lakeside :)



The fun part about ordering an Ouch Pouch

is that once a week she holds a drawing from her orders...

the lucky winner gets their pouch delivered

already filled with first aid essentials!

(I should know - I was one of the lucky winners!!)

Have a fun and safe summer!
