I have to admit, I'm one of the world's worst parents when it comes to remembering to pack sunscreen for my kiddo. It probably goes hand in hand with growing up my entire life never needing/wanting it myself. Lucky for me (and her), Penny got mommy's amazing olive skin genes and tans like the perfect fire roasted marshmallow. :)

I want to try to be better though. You know, so my kid doesn't get skin cancer (on top of all the other cancers she will get from everything else that she consumes, touches breathes in and even looks at). I was happy when I got selected to try this new Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen for FREE from Bzzagent. I'm usually a buy the $15 all natural, no chemicals sunscreen for my kiddo, but hey, I'll try anything once. :)

My Bzzkit came with quite a huge pile of types and sizes to try out. One for Sunny Days you can wear on your face under your makeup, one is a spray can that goes on super fast and easy (which is stellar when trying to apply to a wiggly two year old) and one giant bottle that will last me a year. Not to mention a bunch of coupons to pass out.  So far, so good. No sun burn, no reaction and no mess. Hopefully I'm extending her life a few years, or at least her sun spots, too.  What kind of sunscreen do you use?



On a completely unrelated note, I'm so excited for this summer. Both my Origami Owl and Thirty One ventures are going to kick ass, I might actually be able to enjoy myself this summer, make some money, hang out with awesome ladies and feed my addiction to these two things without breaking the bank. I'm pretty good at being a stay at home mom. Now that I've figured out a few things, Like how to avoid a meltdown in Meijer when Sandy, the Penny Horse is Out of Order.
