Summer 2012 Must Haves

The family getaway to Hawaii is less than two weeks away and I am feeling both excited and anxious...The anxiety stems from the thought of keeping a 2 1/2 year old and 10 month old entertained for 6 hours while trapped on an airplane?!.  I'll have many movies and Dora the Explorer on queue. Cars, stickers and crayons at hand.  Goldfish and cookies stashed in the seat pocket. Now what to do with the baby for six hours (who, keep in mind is on the verge of walking)?  Any suggestions are gladly welcome.

Nonetheless,  the excitement outweighs any nerves, as I look forward to relaxation, sun and cocktails on the beach. I'm excited to start the "50 Shades of Grey" series and see what the hype is all about.  Is it really mommy ronch?  In the meantime, I have actively started packing lists.   I previously compiled my favorite swimsuits here. And in addition, I have provided a glimpse of my favorite pool worthy accessories and beauty products:
