Are your feet ready for sandals? Mine are.

We ran our heater for months on end due to our super long winter and our skin got so dry. My son even developed eczema. I tried so many different lotions, and bath regimens to help cure his poor dry skin but nothing really worked.

I finally tried some baby eczema lotion. Not only is his skin looking better but I also found out it works great on my feet as well. I put it on in the mornings and walk around getting ready in some good cotton socks and then just throw on my sandals when I am ready to go. You could also use it at night before bed (I don't like to sleep with socks on). My dry cracked feet (thank you winter) are ready for summer and the greatest part is that it took less than a bottle of lotion and get this...it costs only $5.99 at Target (and there is a $1 off coupon inside the box). That's cheaper than my old foot lotion which didn't work half as well. Oh, and be sure to wash your hands after applying if cause it can be a little greasy.

accepting the heat

I think I am finally starting to accept the horrible heat here. Every year I complain and ask my hubby if we can move and then it passes and we repeat it again the following summer.

I grew up in southern California, moved to Tucson, Arizona, and then to Yuma, Arizona. It just keeps getting hotter as I go. I was told that Yuma is the hottest place in the U.S. year round and I believe it.

So this time around I have decided to embrace the heat and make the best of it (so far). We have broke 100 degrees already. So now we are getting outside, playing in the water, working on my tan, and just enjoying it before it gets hotter.

My son loves the summer weather and I can see why. He gets to go swimming, play outside in his blow up pool (see pic), pool parties, trips to water parks, and chase down the ice cream truck. What's not to love about that when you are 2.5 years old?
