GIVEAWAY: $100 Gift Certificate for Sun Protective Clothing from Alex & Me
July 29th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Uncategorized
It’s really easy for moms to forget about themselves when it comes to sun protection (or healthy eating, or getting enough sleep, or, or, or — fill in the blank, right?). We’re givers and caretakers who rarely take good care of ourselves. I always want to make sure my kids get the safest treatment, whether [...]

I thought, “At least he’ll understand how much of a pain reapplying sunscreen can be, and then he’ll choose the swim shirt in the future.” Now that he’s [...]
