We’re headed home from Miami. Thanks to some good sunblock and protective clothing, we’re as pale as we were the day we left New York! (I wonder if Sweet William will one day have my freckles.)

Before heading out to swim or play, we slathered Sweet William’s legs, arms, and face with Badger sunblock, then slipped him into a Hanna Andersson rash guard shirt or swimsuit and his fabulous rash guard hat (these items reportedly block 99% of UVA/UVB rays). I wore my sun hat and a good layer of William’s Badger sunblock. Fergus, approaching three months old, snoozed in the cabana.

Dada has his own approach to coverage.
I'm a writer and the mother of William and Fergus. Before dedicating my work to children's environmental health, I earned an MA in Cultural Reporting and Criticism from New York University and was a photography editor at The New Yorker. My family is preparing to move to New Orleans, where my husband, an architect, is building us a non-toxic home.
