One of the things I am most excited about, in our new house, is our pool!!!
I can’t wait to have a pool because I know we will live in it on these hot summer days (it was 115 yesterday!). I still need to stock up on pool toys, and other pool stuff, but for now I have all the essentials ready for our first swimming guests.
The two things you need the most, when having people over to swim, are towels and snacks! Excited for our first swimming get-togethers I went out and got stocked up on both. I used my set of Lands’ End canvas totes to organize the snacks, and the laundry hamper makes the perfect place to toss wet towels when we are done with them.
I stocked up on white towels for the pool because they are easy to keep clean and you don’t have to worry about them fading in the sun.
Don’t you just love this swing? It’s one of my other favorite things about our new backyard. I see myself spending hours sitting here, swinging and talking to friends while we watch our kids swim and play.
We also do a lot of swimming on the go, such as swim lessons, trips to the water park, swimming at grandma’s, etc. For my on the go swim bag I used the small Lands’ End canvas tote and packed with all our swimming essentials.
Now the question is how would you use these amazing set of canvas totes from Lands’ End?
