Essentials For Outdoor Family Fun

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CVS. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have to admit that I was nervous that having more time at home would equal more screen time for our boys. Don’t get me wrong, the screen time has definitely increased BUT so has the time we have been spending outdoors.

From daily walks through our neighborhood, to drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, I’ve learned that if you’re going to spend time outdoors, you have to be prepared. Thankfully, our local CVS, or as I like to call it, ‘my convenience destination’, is only minutes away and they ALWAYS have amazing deals on my favorite health and wellness products for the boys both in-store and on their website.

I’ve been a loyal CVS shopper for over 10 years! You can simply look at the wear and tear on my ExtraCare card and tell that it’s undergone quite a few scans. Since the weather has warmed up significantly, I decided to order a few things from CVS.com that would help the boys and I be better prepared to enjoy our time outside. Moms to the Rescue

At the top of my list was something to protect their sensitive skin from the sun. So I added my go-to babyganics sunscreen spray to my cart. I’ve been using this mineral-based sunscreen spray since my oldest was a baby and it has been a must-have ever since. Babyganic Sunscreen Spray is water-resistant (for up to 80mins), tear-free, and best of all, it has an SPF of 50. Not to mention, it smells lovely!

I use it daily on the boys so that I can rest assured that their delicate skin is protected.

Water activities are one of our favorite things to do outside. Whether it’s taking a cool dip in the pool or running through the water sprinkler, my boys love the water.

Since my youngest is still in diapers, it’s important that he can enjoy water play without being slowed down by an uncomfortable, swollen diaper. That said, I also made sure to add a pack of Huggies Little Swimmers Disposable Swim Pants to my CVS.com order.

I initially discovered these disposable swim pants last summer and since then, I always keep a few pairs in our diaper bag during the warmer months. I love that they’re soft and stretchy – plus they have leak guards to help prevent any accidents! A true ‘must-have’ for any parents with little ones that spend a lot of time in the water. Not to mention, as an ExtraCare member I always find the best deals on diapers and wipes so it’s a win-win!

After hours of outdoor play combined with the high temps outside, it’s important that the boys are properly hydrated. Thankfully, CVS has the best digestive health products for children!

The pedialyte electrolyte powder has been one of my secret weapons to prevent dehydration. It’s medical-grade hydration that quickly replenishes lost fluids and electrolytes. We love the strawberry lemonade flavor – yes, ‘we’ because my husband and I drink it too!

By now I’m sure you can see why CVS Pharmacy is my ‘convenience destination’ – and it can be yours too!

So if you don’t already, I highly recommend shopping at CVS for all of your baby care needs – and don’t forget to sign up to get rewarded for shopping as an ExtraCare Rewards member!

So the next time you and your family get outside, make sure that you’re prepared with the best baby care products from top brands at CVS Pharmacy.
