Mom on the Go: Cute hats to take kids from beach to playdate
For mamas, going from day wear to night wear usually takes a change in jewelry or the slipping on of a pair of sexy heels.
But what's a kid to do when going from the beach to a playdate?
A collection of cute sun hats by Purple Alex solves that dilemma. The playful beach hats are cotton-lined, machine washable and come in five sizes from newborn (13 inches) to big kid (18 inches).
But will kids LOVE it?
We gave a Purple Alex hat to a South Florida 1-year-old and here's what her mother reports:
After spending a long day at the pool in which my daughter, Madison,
surprisingly kept this adorable hat on, she didn't even have rosy
cheeks! This made Mommy very happy.
Later that evening we prepared dinner. As usual I undressed Madison and before I could get her in the highchair she ran to get her hat!
So just imagine this little bundle of joy eating dinner with nothing but her hat on! The hat kept the sun off, looked adorable on and Madison enjoyed wearing it.
It doesn't get any better than that.
Is your kid attached to a piece of clothing? Tell me about it. (My 2-year-old wants to wear her hand-me-down ladybug rain boots all the time. Rain or Shine.)
