Ahh, summer. A chance to let loose, load up the car, and go. As an Idaho girl, I get to see all four seasons but summer is my favorite because everything is so relaxed. Spur-of-the-moment road trip? Okay, let’s do it. Picnic at the park? Yup, no-brainer. Summer is easy and that’s why everything I wear has to be easy too. We’re partnering with Hotter Shoes to bring you some cute, easy slip-ons that will rock your summer!

Summer Slip-Ons

We’ve told you about Hotter Shoes before because they are awesome. They deliver on impressive comfort and style and are the best travel shoes. Really, I pack them everywhere because they are cute, insanely comfortable (I just wore them 11 hours at a theme park with my kids), and such high quality that they’ll probably last me a lifetime.

A cool fact about Hotter shoes: they’re hand-crafted in England in a Comfort Lab so they’re fantastic for everyone, but especially ideal if you have foot pain, knee pain, or lower back pain. Each pair has incredible arch support (I own three pairs they’re so good) and are made with care and concern, unlike so many shoes out there.

Slip on and go!

You can check out the whole Hotter collection, but here are a few of my favorite slip-on and go styles this season, including some seriously cute bags!

The Tara Daffodil

This shoe just makes me happy. It’s sunny, fun, and the perfect summer slip-on shoe to head to a parade or to the mountains for a canoe ride.

Gem Purse

I love this bag because it’s lightweight, and large enough to fit my phone, wallet, and at least four granola bars and a few juice boxes for my kids. It’s not bulky, but slim and functional.

Pair the Tara shoes with the sporty cross-body Gem Purse for the ultimate grab-and-go combo!

The Tara shoe also comes in three other fun styles and is a best-seller.

The Palmas Sandals

For something a little more resort-ish and playful, check out the Palamas Sandal. It comes in blood orange, citrus yellow, or soft silver. The knot detail and peep toe won me over immediately.

This is a cute sandal! And the heel is just high enough to get the flirty wedge look, but the microfiber insoles are plush and luxury to give you lasting comfort.

Pair this with the Harriet Handbag in blood orange (also available in royal blue and pebble gray). This has become my favorite purse of the summer. To me, a perfect purse has do three things: have plenty of storage, be light enough to not weigh me down, and have a pop of fashion. This bag has all three!

I love the surprise floral print interior. It just feels like summer when I open this bag. Plus, you’ve got to see all the pockets in this thing! The storage capabilities are amazing!

Summer is the time to be spontaneous. When a friend calls up and suggests lunch, you go! When the kids say, “Hey mom, can we go to the lake?” you throw on a swimsuit and head out.

That’s why summer slip-ons are the best. Check out all the great summer slip-ons at Hotter Shoes, including the promo they have going on right now! Here are a few other easy styles I’m loving:

Tropic Sandals

Laurel Shoes

Daisy Shoes (So many great colors.)

Brooke Shoes

Happy easy, breezy summer!

5 Important Things To Know about Getting Family Passports

More and more families are traveling together internationally and there’s plenty of reasons to do so. The memories you’ll make and the experiences you’ll have are enriching beyond any other opportunity in the world. But before you can hit the high seas on a Mediterranean cruise or catch the next flight to the beaches of Mexico, you gotta have passports for everyone in your family. Here are some things you gotta know about getting passports for you and your family.

5 Important Things To Know about Getting Passports for Your Family

1. Plan ahead.

You can’t just book a trip a month out and plan on your passports lining up. The process takes time and that timetable is very often unpredictable. A safe bet is to apply for passports at least six months before your vacation. Or even better, just do it now, even though you may not have a trip planned. You never know when the opportunity will arise that you’ll want to or need to travel outside of the country. Many parents have passports for themselves, but it’s highly recommended that children have them as well.

How do you know if you need a passport book or a passport card? A passport book is required for all international travel by air where a passport card is adequate for all international travel by land or sea to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.

Expedited service is available and costs an extra $60 + delivery costs.

2. Prepare all documents.

There are quite a few hoops to jump through when applying for a passport, let along family passports. Make sure to visit the usa.gov website for all forms and requirements. *Smart Tip: Have a manilla folder or envelope for each person in your family’s documents. Here’s a checklist of everything you need:

• Form DS-11. The easiest way to do this is to fill it out online. You can also fill out the application by hand (print here) but DO NOT SIGN it until you are in front of a passport agent.
• Birth Certificate for each family member. Heads up: your birth certificates will be taken at the passport office and returned to you via mail 2-3 weeks later.
• Driver’s License for each eligible member.
• Color passport photo. You can get this done at Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, etc.
• Check for passport fee.
• Proof of Relationship. When applying for a child’s passport, you need to provide a birth certificate or other form of proof that you are the child’s parent.
• Parental Consent Form. You AND your spouse will both need to be present to sign a consent form. If one parent can’t be there, you can have provide a notarized consent form.

3. Call for an appointment.

As you are preparing all documents, make sure to call your local passport office for an appointment. You must present all documentation and payment in person. There’s no easy way around this one. Many offices have specific hours, so MAKE SURE to find your local passport agency and call ahead for an appointment.

Everyone applying for a passport needs to be present, so bring a few snacks and distractions for the kids because there will inevitably be some waiting.

4. How long are my family passports good for?

• Under age 16: five years
• Over age 16: ten years

*Please note: some countries require a 6-month validity beyond the date of your travel. Meaning if your passport will expire six months after your trip or less, you will need to renew before your trip.

5. After you get your passports, make photocopies.

Things get lost all the time and the last thing you want to deal with on a trip is a lost passport. As soon as you get your family’s passports, make photocopies (a few, just to be safe). Take a copy on your trip with you and leave a copy with a responsible family member at home.

Once you have family passports, it opens up a world of possibilities! Check out Alison’s family trip to Thailand and Bobbi’s family trip to Japan.

And make sure you know all about wholesale travel—it will save you TONS on your family trips and vacations!

7 Reasons ALL Your Kid’s Summer Wardrobe Staples Should Be From One Store

**This post is sponsored by RewardStyle and Walmart, but all opinions are my own. Walmart is frequented by our family!**

I have 5, soon to be 6 kids, and it is literally a full time job keeping them clothed. It seems like as soon as we’re all in shoes that fit, someone complains of a pinched toe. They’re growing, and changing each and every day! Plus, my oldest kiddos are starting to get an opinion about what they wear. Now, mom isn’t as in control as she used to be.
I’ve had to learn to shop SMART or it can get REALLY expensive (not to mention exhausting!) to clothe 5 little humans.
One of my most favorite stores to stock up at is Walmart. Now, this isn’t your grandmother’s Walmart. They have some new clothing lines that are KILLING it in the style department, while still staying true to amazing value.  They’ve been bought in some awesome designers!
I love to shop there for ALL my kids (and myself!)

Here are 7 reasons YOU should be shopping at Walmart for your kiddos (and everyone else!):

1. Versatility. One thing I LOVE about Walmart’s lines are they often make the same item in multiple colors or prints. Take for instance, these shorts my daughter has on from my personal favorite, Wonder Nation line. They come in a variety of stripes, and colors PLUS a fun lemon print that is to die for. They’re super easy to mix and match with a top like these basic tees (Under $8 for 2!). This versatility makes getting dressed in the morning a less painful process, and I can allow my twins daughters to choose what colors and prints work for them individually.
2. Durability.My son had this shirt on during a BBQ with our friends and somehow managed to bathe the shirt in a nice drip line of ketchup. Such is the way with all kids right? I’ll be honest, 4 kids ago, I used to freak out a little when my kids spilled on their clothes. Now, I rest assured because I know they’re going to wash up and HOLD up just fine. Sure enough this stinkin’ cute tie dye tee washed perfectly and didn’t shrink or bleed even after the dryer (because who remembers to hang dry every little shirt?). We had the same positive experience with these $8 bright, flat pocket shorts. Super impressed. If you can hold up despite the lack of TLC from this cute 5 year old, you’re a winner in my book.
   
3. Price Points.I can’t say enough good things about the price points of ALL the kids’ clothing. Let’s be real, as fast as kiddos grow, no one wants to spend a lot of money on their clothes. I mean, I’d MUCH rather spend it on myself if I’m being honest! Anyone else? Would you believe that almost EVERYTHING linked in this post is UNDER $10? Seriously. You just can’t beat it. Be sure to also check out their shoe selection for kids. I’m always shocked at the styles, like these ones we adore, and the fact their prices are about HALF or more of everywhere else!

   

4. Cuteness Factor.
   Why is that literally ANYTHING you put on a kid is CUTE? Why is that NOT the case for me!? Seriously though, Walmart is NOT lacking in this department at ALL. Everytime I go online, or shop in store, I can hardly choose just one thing! (If you have a toddler girl, PLEASE get her THIS romper.)

   

5. Easy to Use Online shopping.Speaking of shopping online, I love the convenience of shopping online at Walmart. If you have kids, especially young ones, you know how torturous shopping in store can be. Just the other day, I was trying on a dress. In the time it took to take that dress off the hanger, and put it over my head, my 3 and 5 year old were “stall surfing” UNDER the dressing rooms next door to me. No lie. THANK GOODNESS no one was in those dressing rooms. I would have died of embarrassment! Walmart makes it easy to shop the same great brands (and lots more!) from the comfort of your bed! Happy mom, happy life.

   

6. My 10 year old deemed the clothes “cool”.

   This might not seem a big deal to you, but to me, it is EVERYTHING. This kid is so hard to please when it comes to his clothes and if I can get him out of his baggy basketball shorts, and an old tshirt, it’s pure victory. He found this “performance” type polo that felt sporty to him, and these elastic waistband shorts which were deemed “super comfy” and LOVED them. I was happy to see comfy styles for my sporty loving child that were also mom approved for any occasion. If this 10 year old says they’re cool, rest assured, that is reason enough to try one of everything!
   

   7. You can shop for Mom there too!

   When you’re done stocking up the kids each season, there’s always something for mom too! And since you’ve saved money by shopping affordable kid styles, you’ll have more to spend on yourself – and I’ve never heard a woman complain about that! The selection is fantastic (See this post), and did you know they even have MATERNITY clothing? Being pregnant with my 6th, I do NOT want to buy a ton or spend a lot, and so I stocked up on a few key pieces at Walmart and I have to say, I was so impressed again! Even the maternity jeans were A+! They didn’t fall down during the day, which is often the case with full panel maternity jeans. This bright knot tee was a fun splash of color, and I’ll be able to wear it even AFTER the baby comes as it really doesn’t have any maternity looking “features” like side ruching! Love that!
   (By the way, I got these sunglasses at Walmart too! This two pack was only $14!)

   
   So there you have it.
   7 REALLY good reasons to make Walmart your one stop shop for the WHOLE family and especially the kids! They have it all!
   No doubt, it will continue to be a staple stop for this family!
