Summertime in Charleston is H-O-T! And lucky for us, warm temperatures extend way past the standard spring and summer seasons. Therefore, there’s lots of time for the beach, pool, and outdoor activities. With this in mind, we polled our group of writers, real life Charleston area moms, to find out what they are loving at the moment and would recommend as a must. So put a little fun in your summertime routine with the “mom-approved” items below!

GoSlaz Inflatable Rainbow Sprinkler Toy
SCOUT Pocket Rocket Tote
I’m pretty sure we all have our favorite beach bags. But this SCOUT one meets all of my criteria. It has lots of pockets (easy access to suntan lotion, water bottles, etc.), a zipper on top so important things (wallet and keys) don’t fall out, and it’s waterproof. Hose it down outside. I have had my bag for about five years. Looks good as new and does not break the budget. It’s not bulky and has comfortable straps for easy toting. It fits everything I need in a beach bag.
