Some of the best memories made are without shoes.
From front porch ice cream eats, to pink picnic lunches, to kiddie pool splashes, almost all of these memories have been made barefooted in and or around our home.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, summer usually arrives in mid-July, so we’re extremely grateful for an early summer season! And since afternoon nap time for a two-year old keeps us home for the second half of the day, we are more than excited to go play in the backyard as the afternoon blurs into evening.
Where else can you eat half a watermelon in between sprints from your flamingo pool to your sprinkler? And as a proud girl-mom of a toddler, there aren’t too many places I can sit down and actual stay there while my little one runs arounds.
Backyard hangs are, ah-mazing.
Even though we’ve barely scratched off everything on our summer bucket list, it’s so nice to have it started! So today, I thought I'd share what we've added to the backyard space, in creating some classic kid summer fun.
Here is what we're loving.
Abby has a lot of sunnies, although this is the only pair she will keep on for a long period of time. I think it's because the lens frame is super smooth and really comfortable on (yes, I put them on too).
Truthfully, Abby constantly takes her summer hat's on and off all the time though with her fair skin, I’m comprise with it being on 50% of the day.
I really bought this for the terry cloth material since it helps keep her and the house dry while we go in and out for snacks, diaper changers and or lunch if it’s too hot. Plus, we will use it again for swim lesson’s next month.
This is my favorite swimsuit she owns because of how sweet it looks on! The little flamingo ruffles on the side, just warm my girl-mom heart right up, every time.
This is designed and meant for adult's, although when I saw it on this DIY website, I knew Abby would love playing in it since she just loves playing will all types of pool floats. Plus, we plan on using it in the pool during our little family vacation next month.
I got ours 60% off two years ago from another company and unfortunately they don't make our exact flamingo soul sister anymore, this one is very similar as shown above and only $17.85! They even have a swan pool which I'm very tempted to get.
This was a gift from Steve and I to Abby for her 2nd Birthday and she loves it! Especially she loves to try and “touch” the flowers. Plus it helps water our yard, so a parent and child win-win.
This is really helpful for lunch time! And it’s a great way to serve appetizer’s over the summer if you are hosting a lot of BBQ's, like we will be doing all summer long!
This classic sandal is our go to footwear since she can get it wet in and out of the pool, on the rocky PNW shore, splash pad, ect. Abby wears these sandals almost every day in the summer. These and or she’s bare foot at home.
And now, a few photos of our favorite things in action, because you can never have too many for a blog post on summer fun. ; )
By giving you a peek into our backyard summer fun. I hope this post helps inspires to create your own barefoot memories with your kid(s). No summer weather yet?
Go ahed and pin the "Toddler Girl // Backyard Hangs" photo for later. And happy backyard hangs mama!
Warmly, Steph
