2. "Water" Shoes. If your kids are anything like mine, they are outgrowing their shoes faster than I can keep up with! Each Spring, I like to get my kiddos a pair of shoes that can be used in and around water. We are constantly going to Splashpads, the beach, etc. and having shoes that can slip on and off make life so much easier!

3. How to Draw Anything. I LOVE books on how to draw. Not only for the kids, but for myself! These books are so fun to pull out and have everyone in the family draw the same thing, and then we vote on who did it best! It is crazy to see their adorable creative minds do more with the drawings to truly make them their own!

4. Adding a Swimsuit to my son's basket is always a must! I also LOVE the one-piece suits for littler boys. My son is a red-head, so we like to cover him up as much as possible.
