summer is in full swing, and we’re having the temperatures to prove it.  the highs for the weekend are between 94 and 101 – yowza.  having a small child forces me to be outdoors more often, which i love, but i’ve decided i should be less of a friend to the sun than i have in years past.  i tan easily, but i’m learning that it’s no longer a real mark of beauty, but premature aging – dang it!  that said, i’ve deemed it the year of the hat, so you’ll notice some extra protective stuff on my list.  here are my must haves for the summer months.

{sun hat, moisturizer, sunscreen, sunglasses, swimsuit, boys’ trunks, reading material}
