For the "Best Summer Ever"? Get on the boat!

“I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Banana Boat® Sun Care. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

Get on the boat...
Do you remember those commercials? I can still hear the jingle, "get on the boat, the Banana Boat®", sung by a happy man with a Caribbean beach vibe. The advertisements used to make me dream of the beach, a place I could only be for one week each year. Ultimate summer memories.

Fast forward to 2014, I'm all grown up and a mom to two. The beach continues to be one of my favorite destinations for all ages. We splash in the surf, build sand castles, and search for shells on leisurely evening walks. If the tide is too high for beach play, we retreat to the pool for splashing water battles or pull out the board games on the condo balcony. We play outdoors, read outdoors, relax outdoors, and eat outdoors. If it can be done in the sunshine of a summer day, we are there. With our sunscreen applied and reapplied, of course!

At age 36, I've already had a pre-cancer excision, and I don't want to press my luck any further. Sunscreen for all! I am loving the new Protect & Hydrate Sunscreen Clear UltraMist from Banana Boat, and I've often relied on Banana Boat kids' products to protect Amelia's young skin. Did you know that the  Kids Free Clear UltraMist® Sunscreen from Banana Boat is the only alcohol-free, tear-free, sting-free kids clear spray? And that it is pediatrician-tested? 

This year, I am also excited to announce that I am a Banana Boat® Ambassador! I will be bringing you a few posts and social media tidbits about summer play and some of Banana Boat's products and brand fun. Banana Boat sunscreen and actress and mother of two, Busy Philipps, are bringing fun-loving families the tips, tools and excellent prizes they need to have the Best Summer Ever! 

This could mean exciting things for you! 

Visit www.facebook.com/BananaBoatBrand to learn about the Best Summer Ever Sweepstakes. The Sweepstakes ends on July 31, and you could win one of several summer fun prizes - or the grand prize, a family vacation to a Treehouse Resort. It sounds like so much fun! I may need to add "treehouse vacation" to my family travel wish list.
