Summer Must-Haves For Kiddos

Hooray for Summer being within our sites! I’ve spent the last few weeks searching high and low for some wonderful Summer options for the kiddos, and I hope to make your Summer shopping a little easier. Xx Meg

SUMMER FIND THE FUN ESSENTIALS

No. 01 / SWIMSUITS
kids spring clothing
minnow swimwear is so cute and our go-to brand for all our kid’s suits. We love their sun-kissed color palettes, purposeful details, and custom prints — and that they are produced locally and with the highest quality. H&M and Mango Kids Swimwear are also SO CUTE this season and a steal in terms of the price!!
SHOP
NO. 02 / BASEBALL CAP
protect your kids from the sun in style with Rey to Z. We love their hats, and you can personalize your hat with their simple, classic designs and choice of letter, word, shape, or symbol on the front.
SHOP
NO. 03 / COVER UPS
kids spring clothing
bundle up in this velvety soft, super-absorbent hooded coverup. with front pockets, a convenient in-and-out zip front, and a generously sized hood, your littles will stay cozy and comfortable post-dip
SHOP
No. 04 / SunshirtS
Sun shirts (or rashguards) are a summer essential. We love these because they have a lighter feel that allows for plenty of movement and a closer fit to keep your littles sun-safe. Size up!
SHOP
NO. 05 / sunglasses
kids spring clothing
taking care of our little eyes is one of the biggest gifts we can give them. Find some cool sunnies and make a habit of wearing sunglasses fun. We love these WeeFarers for boys and My Little Sunnies for girls.
SHOP
NO. 03 / flip flops
kids spring clothing
don’t forget your flip-flops. We’re huge fans of rainbow sandals because they are both comfortable and cool. Make sure you get the strap on the back for your kid’s first pair! And for the older kids, we love the Hatly slides!

We are obsessed with lake pajamas. They are butter-soft and get better with every wash. Our kids have this style in so many colors.

For Summer, we love the native shoes – they are the perfect slip-on — and make getting to the beach/pool so easy since they cane get wet and rise out really easily with no drying time. If you aren’t near water as much, we think these slip-on everyday shoes are so cute and are in our cart for the kids this year.

These are the coolest laceless sneakers that both kids and parents love! They have great support for your kid’s feet and make getting shoes on a breeze!

hey there!

Hi, I'm Meg! As a working mom who didn't always have as much time with my kids as I would have liked, I wanted to make sure the quality of the time we had together was exceptional. Easier said than done! Because life often got in the way, I found myself stressed, rushed, and making sacrifices in creating our perfect event. Our hope for All the Moments is that it will allow you to create a beautiful, fun, and curated life for the entire family. Thanks so much for stopping by!
