Summer Survival Shopping Guide

This shopping guide is the companion to our Summer Survival Guide.


Hey Mama!

My hope with this shopping guide is to help take away some of the stress in finding the right products for our kids.

I’ve been there – up late, staring at my phone, reading endless Amazon reviews, all just to find the best hat for my toddler.

Being a mom is exhausting. And as you know, the job is never done.

Our Summer Survival Guide (For Life with Toddlers & Preschoolers) is your playbook for thriving this summer with your little one – and this Summer Survival Shopping Guide is here to help you even further.

This is by no means a full list of everything you might need (or even all of my favorites), what it is is a starting place. The basics. The things I won’t live my summer life without – and you shouldn’t either!

Need a handy checklist to make sure you’re ready for summer?

It’s those last few weeks before school gets out that I start realizing I’m going to need to check on summer camp registration, load up on sunscreen, sidewalk chalk and recycle all the broken toys in the backyard.

Instead of a mental to-do list, I love a good written one! Nothing beats the satisfaction of crossing something off a list, right?

After hearing from so many of you on Instagram on this very topic, I decided to create a free printable Summer Ready checklist just for you!

There are 2 pages to the PDF.

  • The first page is pre-filled with ideas
  • And the second page is left blank so you can fill-in with your own needs

Download your free printable checklist below!
