Summer Brings on the Chemicals!

Summer is here, and if you have kids like me who "Sear like an Ahi-tuna" or you are just like most moms and want to protect that precious baby soft skin then this is the post for you.

Do you cringe every morning and afternoon when you spray or rub sunscreen on them...did you ever read the back of a sunscreen bottle? It's painful. Did you also know that the FDA has admitted that it has not tested sunscreens effectively and doesn't know if it's worse to not protect your kids or use chemicals to protect them???

Don't believe me? Click here to read proof of this!

I know it's wrong as it feels terrible every single day that I do it!

I consulted another mom friend who also goes by the name of Jennifer and we compared some notes.

1. Organic Sunscreens are hard to find

2. They don't work all that well.

So, what's a mom to do?

Well, we are still experimenting with brands ourselves, but here's what we know:

"Burts Bees" gives horrible coverage is not pleasant to apply. It kind of goops up on you.

(Yes, goops is a word!)

Banana Boat has a Paraben free brand! Yipee! And....it also has a Target generic brand counterpart! (Yipeee again!)

The jury is still out on exactly which ones are good and safe but here's a great article you might enjoy.

I am looking for some reviews here so please send them in if you got em!
