The Secret to Happy Kids - NO SUNBURNS!

Okay, so I might not have a real SECRET but for sure your kids will happy (and you too) when they survive the day without being sunburnt.  That whining is worse than any pain you could experience yourself. 

I can’t admit to being the best mom in terms of ALWAYS lathering my child in the SPF but when we went to Oklahoma last summer it was SO hot we made sure to wear SPF 45 every day.  We were the only family to not get severe sunburns.

What I wish I had for that trip, and will have in the future is a swimming suit that covers a lot of the body, reducing my sunscreen time. 





GrUVyWear makes swim suits that have an SPF of 50.  They have a ton of cute options to choose from and we got to try out this adorable black and grey camo shirt and shorts.

Jett loved his, all the pictures I took of him outside running turned out blurry!  This is him wearing it later in the afternoon.  This is his best “muscle man” pose.  Little Turkey.

GrUVyWear is also giving a discount code to all of my readers!  Simply enter in SAVE1512.  (The outfit I got is on sale right now too!)

  1. Adorable, your son and the outfit!

    My kids wear long sleeves all summer long because they're so fair. I'm a bit weray of sunscreens as I've read about all the chemicals in them (great article in EcoParent, new Canadian magazine) so this kind of clothing is ideal. Thanks for sharing.

  2. love it, we were on the hunt for cute swim options with matching shirts for the boys before our trip to Sesame Place, i was surprised by how little there is out there that both match and look fun for boys.

  5. Are the suits cool enough? Like a wet suit?

  6. My mom got my daughter a swimsuit similar to this - longer arms and legs and SPF value. It's awesome, especially when we go to the splash park. This one looks really cute and I like the two-piece idea for young kids (easier for potty breaks!) so I'll have to look into this for my younger daughter. :) Thanks for sharing.
