I am lucky enough to work from home while we raise our three kids. We spend an immense amount of time doing all of the fun stuff and one of our favorite pastimes is spending a long day at the beach! How do I pack? Well, with the help of our favorite and convenient local grocer I can be packed and on the beach in no time at all.

In collaboration with Blind Bay Village Grocer, we have put together a super fun, easy-to-grab and go beach essentials shopping list! And because we Moms are so awesome at packing for the entire family, we have some FUN beach essentials just for Mom!

Endless fun in the sun!

Quick Tips:

- Swimmers Itch! The best way to prevent and treat it is to wear a barrier like a sunblock and towel off completely. At home, jump into an Epson salt bath and treat any bites with calamine lotion.

- Sandy bums and feet? Easy, simply dust with baby powder. The sand dries instantly and wipes off. No sandy feet messing up the truck!

- Mom’s corner! Have a treat Mom….I love that BBVG sells adult beverages in single servings and you can include these in your order! The Coppertone sunblock with glimmer is gorgeous and the smell of the Hawaiian Tropic After-Sun will leave you smelling and feeling heavenly!

- Have you tried the Dill Pickle salad? It’s amazing! Mix it in the bag and enjoy. You can even ask for a fork from BBVG in your online notes section!

- Strawberry cheesecake surprise! My favorite as a kid and now my kid's favorite. Simply put cream cheese and sliced strawberries on a graham cracker and voila! Cheesecake!
