Summer Nights

As much as I love my fall, there are few things better in life than summer nights at the beach with the family. Growing up in a coastal town, our local beach has always held a special place in our heart. And while it took me some time to find a love for the sand- I was not a fan as a kiddo- I can now think of no better way to spend a summer sunset than together by the water.

A few nights ago we packed up some snacks and headed to Tod’s Point before the sun went down. Maddie and Phil skipped rocks, as they do- he’s been teaching her how to since before she could walk, and she’s actually not half bad- and we snapped some pics before grabbing some dinner together.

MM took her new Pearl Street Swim ‘kini out for a spin- I recently found PSS via Instagram, and I was so pleased to find another amazing, female-run local brand. Their swimwear is one of my favorites for the littles- the cut and coverage of their UPF 50 bikinis is perfect for my very active girl, and their prints are just too cute. Their new print, Painted Oars, is perfect for summertime, and is part of their new collaboration with Sammy + Nat- another local, female- run brand, whose super soft PJs now come in the same print for a limited time. {And If you haven’t tried their PJs, they really are the comfiest; they’re some of MM’s favorite pairs for bedtime and one of my tried and true go-to’s for layette}.

Pearl Street Swim and Sammy + Nat are currently running a Painted Oars promotion: Buy both a painted oars swimsuit and painted oars pajama set, and you’ll receive a complimentary child-sized canvas beach tote monogrammed with matching oars.
