On the go with Beachmate + a giveaway!!
This post is sponsored by my friends at Beachmate and includes an awesome giveaway opportunity. Read on for the details!
When I’m out and about with the girls, I’ve been able to streamline all of our gear so that I feel like I have everything I need without being totally strapped down with bags, gear, and babies. P is riding in the Ergo, the diaper bag is on my arm, and Liv is holding my hand. We’re able to go pretty much anywhere we want to go, and all of our essentials are in the diaper bag. One of the things I couldn’t quite figure out: lugging all of our beach gear to the beach with two small children in tow. This was especially challenging after my hand surgery, since my hand is still pretty weak and I couldn’t grasp heavy items.
Beachmate to the rescue.
My friends at Beachmate sent us one of their stackable storage systems to try out, and it has been a game changer.
We can put everything we need in the Beachmate, including food, sunscreen, hats, towels, and extra clothes. You can flip the multi-purpose buckets over to use as tables for snacks and lunch, and it also includes a cooler for snacks.
We enjoyed a pizza picnic on the Turkish towel, and had everything we needed in the Beachmate.
Bonus: the storage system can be used to build sand castles, and the Beachmate also came with two shovels. This was definitely Liv’s favorite part.
Some more info about Beachmate: (you can check out all of the wonderful products on their site!)
Even fully packed, it fits easily into the car.
One thing that stood out to me was the quality of the design. Everything feels very well-made and durable, so it will last us for summers of wear and tear.
Beachmate kindly offered a giveaway for one lucky reader, who will receive their own customizable system + a beautiful Turkish towel. It will make those summer beach days less bogged down with gear, so you can pack everything up and enjoy!

Love this!! I often take my two little boys to the beach by myself when my husband is at work. It isn’t easy, but always fun. The Beachmate would be a HUGE help!
My beach must-have items are extra sunscreen, and plenty of fruit for the kids!
Love beach mate!
This would be perfect for a day at the beach!
This would be great for trips to Wilmington!
Always have to bring a beach umbrella and toys for my daughter! The beach mate looks fabulous!
My family, my cousins family, and my grandparents would rent 3 rooms right on the water every summer for the Fourth of July. We would trek down the beach to watch fireworks, light our own and swim for days. Now that I’m a mom my goal is to create those same memories every summer for my girls!

My favorite memory of the beach, I actually have many growing up in SD. BUT my fave was in 2011 when I took my husband and kids to SD to stay for 2 weeks and have a huge family reunion for my moms side of the family. My mom and her 13 siblings grew up in mission beach/Pismo ct. They are the Kelley family. we rented their childhood home for the 2 weeks (it was sold years ago) and had a huge family/neighborhood reunion. Sooo many of their old friends and neighbors came along with all my aunts/uncles and cousins and their families. It was amazing!
I went to the beach last weekend with my 3 year old and he loved it! He was running around like a maniac and rolling in the sand.

I like the ocean
Loved playing in the sand as a kid!
Going to Lake Michigan with my sister and grandparents in the summer, jumping into the icy cold water!
Spending all day in the water. I pretty much still do even though New Hampshire ocean water is FREEZING.
Sunscreen and a huge hat are definitely musts at the beach for me! What a great system…I dream of living that close to the beach. Enjoy it while you can!
This is such a great idea!!
Hm biking to swim in mine pits… Didn’t have a beach growing. Up
I love the Beachmate system! I’m a new grandmother, and can just envision myself playing in the sand and surf with my grandson! 🙂
