My husband and I loved the idea of an easy-on sunscreen when we first heard about it through a TV ad. Of course, we grabbed a bottle of the kind we thought seemed best for our family the next time we were out shopping.

Coppertone Continuous Spray has proven to be easy to apply and effective. It’s not overly expensive, as sunscreens can be, and really takes the time out of slathering our son when he’s about to hit the beach or play outside. With easy instructions, and even a warning not to spray it on your face but to spray on your hands and then rub on the face, it’s a simple solution for the mom on the go with little time to mess around with squirting bottles and sticky stuff.

Happy moms (of children over 6 months) everywhere can get it for $9.99 at Drugstore.com.

It’s never too early to teach modesty to our daughters. This sweetheart one piece Melissa Odabash Baby Trixi swimsuit is a bit of a throwback to the 1950s. The straps criss-cross in back. It’s made from 80% Poliammide which is a fabric of high durability and heat resistance, and 20% Lycra, and is machine washable.

This one piece swimsuit is available in sizes 2T, 4T, 6, and 10, and in Green Hearts, Blue Hearts, or Pink Hearts. It costs $77.00 at MilkShop.com.

There’s still plenty of summer left for one more adorable swimsuit! When I used to purchase swimsuits for my daughter, I always looked for styles that were age-appropriate. This two piece swimsuit by Kate Mack is pretty and feminine with an easy wear style. Bikini-style swimsuits for infants and toddlers are not very practical with all the slipping up and down of the material.

The Kate Mack True Love Two Piece Swimsuit is available in sizes 12 & 24 months. It’s currently on sale for $39.91 at  SandboxCouture.com.

The Baby Giraffe Monokini Swimsuit by Le Top is a fun swimsuit for little ones. The giraffe applique is cute but also serves to keep this two-piece in one piece. I remember my little girl playing at the beach and inevitably having to pull her swimsuit up or down, depending on which way it was slipping. This suit by Le Top is also fully lined with 100% nylon, the shell is made from 92% cotton and 8% spandex (a little needed give and take).

Sizes range from 12 mos to 4T. It can be purchased for $24.49 at SophiasStyle.com.
