Mom Hacks

Beach Necessities

Tent, towels, toys, a TON of snacks & baby powder.

The list of necessities obviously decreases as your kiddos get older but we live less than a mile from the beach and when the kiddos were younger, I felt like we would pack enough for a weekend vacation. Needless to say, it was a process. The diapers, change of clothes, every type of sunscreen, some sort of shade coverage, towels, blankets, it was excessive.

If y’all are planning for long beach days, I would grab a tent. Pacific Breeze has one that is great, small, portable and an easy setup. The Pacific Breeze Easy Setup Beach Tent is great! Check it out here.

I find that the tent is easier than the umbrella. It’s long, you can never predict the wind, and I just can’t put it in the sand right.  Who knows, maybe it’s just me. ‍‍

So now for stuff, I’ve really gone down to the bare minimum.  I’ll do one towel per kid at least & maybe one for me if I’m feeling ambitious. For the toy department, each kid can have a bucket and fill it with whatever. As long as they can carry it, I’m down. Baby powder is ALWAYS in my beach bag. Natalie has an issue with being sandy which poses a little bit of a problem because, well, we’re at the beach!  It doesn’t matter how wet or sandy you are, baby powder on the hands and a quick rub and they’ll be ready for the 7th round of snacks.

My favorite beach snacks are pouches. They’re mess free and easy. The issue is that they can go through them in a minute.  I bag or compartmentalize every snack because undoubtedly something spills or gets sandy and the next kid (minus Travis) won’t touch it. The sun makes my kids 10x hungrier than normal, so I end up packing tons of sandwiches, pretzels, cuties, grapes. I try and think of things that could potentially be rinsed off. Just in case, ya know?

Beach romps are becoming more frequent for us, I leave a suit in the car for each kid, jean shorts for me, hats & sunscreen. Sometimes the best beach days are the ones that aren’t planned.

They Call Me: Mom, MOM, MOMMAY

Hey there. I'm Kelsey. I live in sunny Manhattan Beach with my husband, Brendan, and our 3 kids- Natalie, Zoe & Travis. Natalie is almost 8 and is in the second grade. She is seriously a carbon copy of me.. Poor B. It's amazing at how fast she picks up on my likings and disliking, my mannerisms & sayings. Zoe is 5 and has the cutest little munchkin voice that can make you melt. Don’t be fooled because that girl is so strong willed and will fight you for what she wants and to top it off she’s blonde. Travis, my Dino loving three year old has really made our family complete. He is the perfect playing companion and is loyal to the bone. He’ll tell you how it is. As you could imagine, my life is nothing less than chaotic and though I can’t wait for 5 pm to hit-- I love my kids and my life.
