Summer should get a speeding ticket because it definitely flew past! It's so hard to believe that September is less than a week away. To aid in the pain of summer ending I planned a last minute beach getaway as a way to send summer off properly and cross another item off my summer bucket list. How was I able to do that? With all the money I saved by switching to Walmart Family Mobile! The $49.88 TRULY Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data◊ Plan from Walmart Family Mobile, powered by T-Mobile, helped me do more this summer by keeping more money in my pocket. Of course, a last minute beach trip would be nothing without a properly packed beach bag especially with a newborn in tow.
Along with all the usual stuff we take to the beach - a sun shelter or umbrella, chairs, coolers - there are few extra items I like to pack just for baby:
- Swimsuit with SPF - I just ordered this adorable suit for McKenna.
- Swim diapers - These water-resistant diapers are a necessity for hitting the beach with your baby.
- Sun hat - Keep baby protected from the sun's harmful rays with a wide-brimmed sun hat.
- Sunscreen - A natural, unscented sunscreen with a high SPF protects baby's delicate skin from the sun.
- Light blanket - Using a lightweight blanket to cover your baby during nap time provides extra protection from the sun.
- Baby powder - This life hack is genius: sprinkle it on and all the sand is gone!
- Hooded towel - These make it super easy to dry baby off.
- Phone/camera for memories - A trip to the beach didn't happen if there aren't pics! My favorite way to capture memories lately has been my LG L59 Grace that I purchased last month. I love documenting McKenna's milestones and other important moments using the amazing camera and with the Walmart TRULY unlimited data I can upload memories to my Instagram and Facebook so I can share them with family and friends!
With a newborn, every penny counts. Diapers, wipes, and clothes add up quickly so we spend a lot of our extra money on those things. I love how affordable the Walmart Family Mobile plans and phones are. $49.88 is truly a steal for reliable cell service! (Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to this page or your local Walmart for current pricing.) By not spending so much for coverage on T-Mobile's nationwide 4G network we have more money for making memories with our little one. She probably won't remember her first trip to the beach, but Mommy and Daddy certainly will!
