Summertime Concerns: Sunscreen for Kids

My family has enjoyed going to the pool all summer and I have been proud of myself that noone has come home with a serious burn!  We take time to apply sunscreen before we leave the house and then reapply throughout the day.  Actually it's my 2 year old that reminds us at the pool to reapply...every 30 minutes. Not sure why, but she loves getting the sunscreen out of the bag and bringing it to us to apply.

However, last week we had a new bottle of spray sunscreen and it was a disaster.  Luckily my husband opened it first and tested it by spraying his legs.  On the first spray he realized it sprayed like a fire hose...so fast it splatter everywhere.  Despite the caution, I let me 6 year old spray her legs...only to have her screaming that it got close to her face.  That bottle went back into the bag and the trash.

This morning I read this article and agree that spray sunscreens can be dangerous around kids.  They are fast and easy to apply, but they can easily get into their eyes.  So this mom will move back to lotion sunscreen when we head to the pool this weekend!  Spray Sunscreen & Kids

Hope you and your family are enjoying a fabulous summer!!

Birds of Paradise - Chicken Recipe

Growing up, we ate a lot chicken. Chicken and rice. Chicken and salsa. Chicken casserole. I wasn't sure why we ate so much chicken. I thought it was just because my mom was on a Weight Watchers diet.  She would put the chicken in the oven and then go on a walk.  I always wanted to tag along on my bike. Now I understand. Chicken is quick and easy. Chicken is inexpensive. Chicken can be healthy. Now as a mom I also understand, my mom wanted to on on those walks alone...to have some peace and quiet time!
