We are huge fans of Supergoop products and when we heard they were coming out with a line for kids we couldn’t wait to give it a try. With our trip to the Bahamas in early May, we thought it would be the perfect time to see how it help us when we would be spending most of the day in the sun! Spoiler alert: We loved it. Sharing what products we used, what we loved and things to know below!

What We Loved

The babies & toddlers line at Supergoop was just released in late April. We tried the Sunnyscreen 100% mineral stick and the Sunnyscreen 100% mineral lotion. My favorite was probably the mineral stick – it was so easy to apply and honestly, the boys enjoyed putting it on themselves! I found the stick easiest for their faces, ears, neck and chest. It was so easy to reapply, too. The mineral lotion is good for their arms and legs, but I found it a little harder to rub in – I may have just used a little too much. I carry the mineral stick in my purse so I can apply during the day.

What to Know

One thing that we love about Supergoop is that they have a list of ingredients they’ll never use in their products available online. Their products are clean and the babies & toddler sunscreens are hypo-allergenic, fragrance-free and silicon-free. The products that are meant for adults are clean enough to be used on kids, too. Supergoop also is EU compliant – which means they follow the standards used in the EU – which are much stricter than the US.

Where to Buy

The Sunnyscreen is available online at Supergoop only.

Price

Supergoop is a little more expensive than your standard kids sunscreen, but I am willing to pay more for a product when I know what’s in it and that it won’t harm my babies!

What We love from Supergoop

We love Supergoop and have been using their sunscreen products for years. Here are a few of our favorite products:

Unseen Sunscreen: This is a makeup primer with 40 SPF, it’s weightless and scentless and 100% invisible. This is an everyday no-brainer for us.
Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil: Reminds of the days when we used tanning oil, but it’s SPF 50 and water-resistant. The whole family loves this one- we used almost an entire bottle of this in the Bahamas!
Poof Part Powder– To protect your scalp, this sunscreen is 100% mineral, SPF 45 and not greasy at all- kind of like using dry shampoo.
Invincible Setting Powder: This is perfect for reapplying sunscreen while wearing your makeup. We like the shade “translucent”.

You can find these products at Supergoop, Nordstrom and Sephora.

Random Thoughts for Friday

May 17, 2019

TGIF! I’m so happy for a weekend, this week seemed long to me! I plan on going to Pure Barre Saturday morning and then we have some friends coming over for dinner Saturday evening. On Sunday, Caleb is taking the boys to their first Rangers game and the girls are going to get a facial at Four Seasons Dallas – can not wait! We only have seven more weekends until baby arrives, so I am trying to get as much family time, relax time and prep time as possible!

I ordered this tiered maxi dress for our trip to the Bahamas and was so happy that it fit and worked with a bump! The tiers are fairly generous, so I was able to buy my normal size – which means I can wear post baby, too! Win/win. Since it’s Friday and we are on the verge of Summer, I thought I would share a few random thoughts over the weekend!

Random Thoughts for Friday

After our trip to the Bahamas, we are now home until baby arrives. We had the best vacation at the Ocean Club and I was so sad to come home. I finally feel like we have traveling with two little ones down to an art, now it’s time to add one more 😉
William had his last day of school yesterday and we are pretty excited for summer break! We are starting to make a list of things to do this summer and the first thing we have on our list is visit the “water park” which is at the city rec center. I took William last year and he can’t wait to go back. We’re planning to go to all the outdoor kid places now and save the indoor stuff for when it’s really hot! We just ordered this water bounce house for summer – the boys are excited to get it today!
I had my 33 week appointment earlier this week and can’t believe we are getting so close. The closer we get, the more and more I think we are having another little boy. I’ve thought that from the beginning, but I’m especially convinced now. The heart rate yesterday was in the 120s – even lower than my last appointment!
Speaking of baby, Caleb and I cannot agree on a boy name. We got so many suggestions on Instagram stories, going over our own lists and I don’t think we will decide until we know this baby is a boy!
I’m loving all maxi dresses – this tiered maxi dress, this blue and white one and this blush one! So perfect for summer.
I haven’t done a house update in a while, but we finally replaced all our windows last week. It’s made a huge difference and now our next big project is window treatments – hoping to have window treatments ordered and installed by late June!
After the last couple of days with our temps in the high 80’s, I realized that I’m basically going to have to live in the pool until baby comes. The heat is already wiping me out! I bought most of my swimsuits for Maui and the Bahamas, but this rainbow striped bikini caught my eye!

Ten Reasons to Book a Trip to Four Seasons Ocean Club

May 14, 2019

Our family has always made a big deal about birthdays. Birthday trips started when we each turned 30 and now that all the kids are past 30, we decided to continue the tradition for the parents! With Jean’s big 6-0 birthday in April, we started to talk about a birthday trip for her. She knew she wanted to go somehwere warm and relaxing! Then we realized that Zika is still in most of the Caribbean, so we crossed that off our list. When we saw there was a Four Seasons in the Bahamas, The Ocean Club, and that there was a direct flight from Dallas and no Zika, we were sold!

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the Four Seasons The Ocean Club. It is a little slice of heaven and we can’t wait for our next trip back! Sharing ten reasons to book a trip to Four Seasons The Ocean Club below and images and outfit links from our trip!

Thank you for the memories Four Seasons Ocean Club and Happy 60th Jean!

Ten Reasons to Book a Trip to Four Seasons Ocean Club

Direct flight into Nassau from Dallas: One of the biggest drivers, besides wanting to visit the Four Seasons The Ocean Club, was the fact that we can fly direct from DFW to Nassau. It makes your travel day that much easier, especially traveling with kids! We were blown away that the flight was just under 3 hours, too. Flying out of Nassau is also convenient – you clear customs right after security, so once you land in the US there is no waiting at customs!
Quick drive from airport to Four Seasons The Ocean Club: Not only is the flight to the Bahamas easy, the property is about 40 minutes from the airport, which makes it so convenient! We had a car service set-up that had car seats installed, so besides waiting for our husbands’ golf clubs, we were on our way about 15 minutes after landing.
Breathtaking views and beautiful property: When driving up to the The Ocean Club, you know it’s going to be special. It’s a beautiful drive up to the property from the main road, and the resort is tucked away at the end. Once you arrive, you check-in at the main house. It’s a cozy spot with views out to the ocean; your concierge meets you there in the library and checks you in. It’s the same place where the famous Martini Bar is located (you may recognize it from James Bond’s Casino Royale). It’s hard to describe walking out the back of the main house and just seeing the breathtaking views of the property and the beautiful color of the ocean. The grounds throughout the property are lush and full of so many tropical flowers and plants.
Butler Service: Each room includes a personal butler during your stay. Your butler will coordinate dinners, pick up clothing items to be pressed daily and coordinate housekeeping. He also brings nightly champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for the adults and milk and cookies for the kids. Your butler will unpack your luggage when you arrive and pack you up the day you leave! Another helpful perk; our butler would pick us up from different areas of the resort when the boys were too tired to walk. We took advantage of these amenities and it made our trip that much more relaxing! On our final day, when we returned from the beach and pool, our butlers had drawn up bubble baths and had rose petals strewn around in the bath and bathroom. It was such a fun surprise!
Kid Friendly: We were pleasantly surprised at how kid friendly The Ocean Club is. There are three pools, only one of which is adults only. Our favorite pool overlooked the beach, but there is a kids pool with walk in entry that’s perfect for the very little ones. There is a playground on the grounds and a kids club for kids 4 and up. We were happy to find out that kids under 5 eat free, too! When we have the boys with us on vacation, we book a sitter for at least one evening. That way we can have adult time and the boys aren’t expected to have a long sit down dinner every night. We love staying at Four Seasons properties because they have a pre-screened baby sitting concierge. Each sitter is background checked and is CPR and first-aid certified.
Spa: The Ocean Club Spa is unlike any spa we have visited. Instead of having a relaxation room that everyone shares, the spa has individual villas where your treatment is done. The villas are Balinese inspired, beautiful and so peaceful! The courtyard of each villa has an oversized tub and lounge bed. The spa uses Elemis products, which we love! Jean had a firming facial and Stia enjoyed a prenatal massage. Both were heavenly!
Beaches are beautiful: The sand is a light pink and so clean; and the water is warm and crystal clear. Plus, you are well taken care of on the beach with full service from Ocean restaurant or Dune, beach umbrellas, lounges, towels and iced bottled water! The Ocean Club has paddle boards available which made for a fun afternoon! There are also sand toys provided fortthe kids!
Dune is a must-try restaurant: Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is chef at Dune and we were not disappointed. The menu is French-Asian inspired with an emphasis on fresh seafood. We had dinner here twice and everything was just so good. We highly recommend the crispy salmon and yellowfin tuna tartare for appetizers, the local lobster tail was amazing and the steamed shrimp salad was so good as a light entree. There is also a very creative cocktail selection and well-curated wine list. We had such a fun birthday dinner here for Jean!
Infinity edge pool that overlooks the ocean: If we weren’t at the beach, we were at this pool! It has the best views and is such a great pool for little swimmers, too. We spent every afternoon here; swimming and eating lunch! The food is amazing and you really can’t beat the views.
The Ocean Club Golf Course: Our husbands typically play golf at least once on vacation and they loved playing the Ocean Club Golf Course. They said it was a beautiful, hard course and they loved it! The Ocean Club has a house car that will take you to and from the golf course.
