Hot Girl Summer? Here's how to have a Hot Mom Summer
We've heard the buzz about having a Hot Girl Summer, and we're totally on board for living your best life this summer (and well, all the time). But as moms, we can't just toss a bathing suit on, pack a cooler, and head to the beach on our very own. Because there are kids and sunscreen and pool toys and chin hairs (yay 40!) ... you get the idea. But hey, that doesn't mean we can't have a Hot Mom Summer, which is exactly what Kristen does in this hilarious new video! And while Hot Girl Summer and a Hot Mom Summer may seem vastly different, there's one thing they definitely have in common: an essential beach read. Or, in the case of our awesome sponsor Entangled Publishing, three essential beach reads (that PS are great all year long, not just in July and August).
