BEACHMATE | The All-In-One Family Beach Bag

Sponsored with love by Beachmate

As much as I absolutely love heading to the beach with Ava, one thing I dread every single trip we take is the amount of "things" I have to carry. Try carrying a beach umbrella, towels, snacks, waters, diapers, wipes, shovels + buckets AND a 20-pound baby. Oh yeah, and try lugging all of that through the sand.

It isn't easy and in all honesty, I totally dread that part of our beach trips. Bags on top of bags and not enough hands to carry it all, it's almost not even worth the hassle heading to the beach with just the two of us.

I'm sure many of you feel my pain.

A couple of months back, though, I discovered The Beachmate System and knew that I needed to put it on my wish list. This week Ava and I got all of our things packed up and headed to the beach, just the two of us.

I brought everything I usually bring with us...but just one single bag -- The Beachmate System.

And it was glorious.

The Beachmate System is an all-in-one beach bag that includes high quality beach shovels (seriously, I couldn't break them if I tried), four beach buckets which also conveniently double as drink holders on the sand, a cooler, velcro straps for towels or umbrellas, lots of pockets for the other necessities (organization, yes please!) and there's plenty of room to spare for all of the other baby necessities.

It's genius and it's going to be an absolute lifesaver this summer for us -- Definitely the best family beach bag around...just saying.
