Yes, it is finally summer! Are you as excited as I am? I know that in the summer, one of our passions is traveling. While we might not be going anywhere for an extensive time with the baby coming, we definitely plan to make weekend trips to some of our favorite places. There is really nothing better in my opinion than traveling as a family and getting to experience some great landmarks throughout the country. Getting the kids to see their favorite attractions and allowing them to play, makes it a great summer for everyone!
Some of our favorite play destinations include visiting our beloved Sesame Place and allowing them to go on all the rides! The kids love to play at Sesame Place and can spend a week there if the time allowed:
We also like to visit our local parks and pool clubs throughout our wonderful state of Rhode Island. We are only about 20 minutes from Block Island and Newport, so we try to take advantage of all that our state has to offer.
While play is awesome and we love spending time with families, ultimately we have to be careful because mishaps can happen. We have to prepare for minor mishaps by having essential first aid items on hand at all times. For this reason, we are sure to use the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® Products, to allow my family to have fun in the sun, all while keeping them safe! These wonderful products allow me to clean, treat and protect my family’s wounds, so we can get back to doing what we love in the sun- Having a great time!
Some of the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® Products include the ever so popular Band-Aid. With kids playing, there is sure to be a lot of scraped knees and we rely on these Band-Aids to get us through the summer months. Also, Neosporin is another popular product during the summer months because ultimately cuts and burns can happen. I always carry Neosporin with me on our summer outings.
Summer is also the best time to sport a healthy glow and make small changes to look and feel your best. You’re in charge of your health and beauty, so make this season all about healthy skin, hair and the essentials you and your family need in the heart of the summer. One of my favorites is the Neutrogena Healthy Volume Waterproof Mascara, which I can wear in the pool and still look fabulous when I exit. Do not worry as HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® has you protected!

Neosporin and Band-Aids are HIGH up on my list of essentials – especially with two active little boys who are always skinning their knees.
Oscar the Grouch was there!!! That is awesome!! He was my favorite.
Sunscreen, band aids and neosporin are on my essential list. That is so neat that you have a Sesame Place. I think my daughter would love that place.
Love the picture with Oscar! We go through about a million band aids a year (slight exaggeration).
I love Oscar!! Sunscreen is always at the top of my list where ever we go!
Keep enjoying your summer! I love Neosporin, it’s the only product I use for wounds.
An essential for me in the summer (and all year round) are sunglasses. Kids should wear them too.
I always stock up on Band-Aids! Especially the kiddo ones!
Neosporin, sunscreen and bug spray are three big musts for me for summer.
We go through neosporin like crazy in the summer!
Yep – I agree on those essentials. Form looking good to getting hurt you are covered.
I believe that band aids are the most important things to have for a family.
We always have bandaids (little first aid kit) in my purse. Just in case. And you got a photo opp w/Oscar. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is cool!!
WE keep bandaids and neosporin in both of our cars as well as in my purse!
Band Aids, Neospirin and Bugspray tops my list in summers
We just made sure we are all stocked up for summertime, too. Love J&J!
Love all this stuff! We stock up on many of these products for the summer! We keep one kit in the car, one in the kitchen near the back door.
What a cool event. I do need to stock up on summer essentials.
Sunscreen is so important! Looks like a fun event.
