I simply cannot believe this is the last week of preschool for my boys.  Ross "graduates" from preschool tomorrow.  I can't believe I will soon be the mom of a kindergartner!  Where does the time go?  Luckily for me, I still have a 3 year old and 1 year old - but poor Katherine.  I'll be a basket case when my last baby heads off to Kindergarten in just four short years.

So Summer is almost here.  I thought the end of my kids preschool year was a good time to focus on all things summer.  Especially fun!  We have lots of fun things planned for this summer.  From trips to the pool, summer camps, a high school reunion, a trip to Hershey, PA and a family reunion.  I am ready.




Hydrochic Mom

I don't know any woman, let alone any mom that looks forward to shopping for a swim suit.  I remember reading a poll years ago that said most women would rather go to the dentist then spend an afternoon trying on swimsuits.  That's pretty bad.

To the rescue is HydroChic Mom.  Their water sportswear, designed by women for women, offers a mix-and-match line of swimming tops and bottoms in vibrant colours and designs. You choose the size, style and coverage that best compliments your figure. The HydroChic line provides a high level of protection from the harmful effects of the sun with a UPF/SPF 50+ rating.  The line includes plus sizes, maternity and suits for women who have had a masectomy.


Azula

Now that you found your perfect bathing suit that flatters you (yes, it is possible!), you don't want to snag it on the side of the pool.   The Azula® is a water resistant and flexible mat that women place on the edge of the swimming pool to keep their bathing suits from snagging. Whether a woman spends $20 or $200 on a bathing suit, the Azula keeps it from getting snagged.  At just $14.50, its a great deal and saves your investment in your bathing suit.  After summer, you can use your Azula  for damp stadium bleachers, hot leather car seats, the beach (sand does not stick!), outdoor festivals, indoor water parks and more.

There is even a time out mat - great if you aren't having so much fun this summer thanks to a temper tantrum or two :)

Fairycakes
Faircakes EBay Store


I just found this mom owned business on the Marketmommies Facebook Fanpage.  I immediately fell in love with Fairycakes!  They feature fun, flirty, whimsical and euro designs.  I just love this dress in particular.  You can find more of their items by going to http://www.ebay.com and searching "Fairycakes."


The Boys Store

Boys generally get the short end of the shopping stick.  How many times have you heard, "the girls stuff is just so much cuter!"  That is not the case at The Boys Store.  As soon as you land on their homepage, you are greeted with an adorable collection of t-shirts and short perfect for any boy looking for some summer fun! 


Cedar Valley Publishing

Just because school is out, doesn't mean the learning stops!  I love these books from Cedar Valley Publishing (probably has something to do with Ross starting Kindergarten - sniff, sniff...)  Let’s Get Ready For Kindergarten! & Let’s Get Ready For First Grade! are award winning, state approved books are geared for ages 2-8 and were created by a mom to help get kids, parents and teachers ready for school.

What would summer be without a splash of color.  I'm one of those women that is guilty of buying too much black, even in the summer.  This beautiful neckalce from ShaBang will add a needed punch of color to anyone's summer outfit.  You have to check out the rest of the Etsy store for more summer fun pieces.

That is it for this week!  I wish we could include every product in our list - and I'm sure we missed some!  Please link up your amazing products for summer fun!
