Aloha Beach Camp…fantastic summer camp for your kids


Are you trying to figure out your kids’ summer? Jen’s List member, jspiegel98@gmail.com, recommends Aloha Beach Camp.


“Run by Eric & Teri Naftulin this is a summer activity paradise for kids. My daughter has gone to Aloha since she was 7 (now 13) & still loves it! Counselors keep close watch on the kids at all times, so I’m never worried.  Most of all they have a blast. Boards, surfing, water play. The fun starts from the time they board the buses till drop-off, sand-dusted, very happy & tired!”

Comotomo


They make fully evolved baby bottles that have been called “breast-feeding in a bottle” by some mommy aficionados. They are soft and squeezy, which makes them skin-like, when in reality they are made of 100% medical grade hygienic silicone! As an added bonus, the super wide design makes cleaning easy! Also amazing are their silicone baby-finger sized teethers that are heat-resistant, meaning you can boil them to sterilize or even throw them in the dishwasher!
