I am allergic to sunblock; it sucks! It took me awhile to figure out because it does not happen the very first time I put it on, it takes a few applications before I break out into a rash. Argh!!! This only happens with chemical sunscreens, I can use ones with physical barriers like zinc. I’ve been aware of this for some time now, but I screwed up and did not read all of the ingredients on the Trader Joe’s sunscreen that said, “zinc-oxide formula” on the front. Apparently, it has all sorts of other junk in it. I am an itchy, bumpy mess right now.
Man-date Update!
Last week, I wrote about Unknown Papi picking up another daddy for a man-date/playdate. Well, the date went so well they’ve already had another one. The daddies get along great and so do the daughters. Everyone’s happy.
In early May I shared a picture of these guys:
This is what they look like now:
And I thought my daughter was growing fast!
I’m giving away a $60 gift certificate to CSNStores.com and it is super easy to enter. If you are interested, click HERE.
And that’s all she wrote!
Have a great weekend!

My husband needs a play date! Can he tag along next?
I'm not allergic to sun screen, but I need about an SPF of 9,000 to keep my freckles from burning to death.
Aww, the ducklings have reached their awkward teen years … so many memories of my own, which are still going on.
Damn! Those ducks blewup!
What do you do when you are allegic to sunblock? I am guessing they sell types for allergies right? Hopefully your little one is not allergic too!

I love the man/dates. Nice that he has someone to spend time with, though. Being a stay at home parent can be lonely for either gender!
happy weekend!
super happy unknown papi has made a friend!
cute little ducks–my kids love these pictures!
oopsy, forgot….
sorry about the sunscreen allergy–that definitely makes life in CA a wee difficult.
Vibes for Bump-freeness soon!
What? Allergic to sunscreen? That bites. So, do you look like Braveheart with your zinc? That's totally what I would do.
I hate sunblock period! Unfortunately i have to use it. Why does it have to be so aromatic!!
What are duck years???? 7-1? like dogs?
I´m so glad you´re hubby found a guy friend, as well as a play date for your daughter. Win/Win situation! 🙂
Bummer about the sunscreen… some kinds do that to me too. Soooo cute about the man-date! Glad it went so well. Awe now they will be buddies… until the girls are old enough to get in fights & then the daddy's will have to take sides. ha ha ha. I'm in horrible trouble with 3 girls… ohhh the drama that is bound to come yikes!
I need to use SPF 50 if not I get burn, ouchhhh!!!
Enjoy the weekend.
Shock, I tell you, shock. The ducklings grew so quickly. Great photos of them.
Papi play dates! I love it! What a great guy you have! Love the growing ducks/geese/birds! Thanks for sharing!
so sorry about the bumpy/itchy, that's the worse
love the man-date…i've not been up to speed with the blogs recently, i'll have to check that post out
that sucks about the sun-block!
Those ducks are so cute! even big!
So glad the man-date worked out and that they're moving forward in their relationship. 😉
UGH, that is such a bummer. I'm allergic to most face makeup. Totes break out in hives. Very pretty. HA!
I'm sorry you are itching.
I am glad Pappy is happy.
Quack, quack, quack.
Awww…I love that they still huddle up together!
Dang, those ducks grew fast!! LOL! Isn't it great when a man date has a happy ending??
Oh Mami I'm so sorry you're allergic to sunscreen! That stinks, especially since you do live in a sunny place. As for hubby, I didn't even know you could get play dates for hubby's. Who knew! Maybe I can get one for the mine. And it's great to see how much the ducklings (or are those goslings?) have grown. Thanks for sharing!
If you're too busy, come take a gander over to my blog, I posted a sort of 'public service announcement.'
Man-dates…. I gotta hook my husband with a couple of those to get him out of the house more 😉
The ducks are amazing! What a difference and so beautiful.
Have a great weekend. See you Sunday.

Cool 🙂 (about the man dates) and I love that the ducks, wait, they're geese, are still huddled up together – that's great.
Dang, what are those ducks eating!
Man date? That's a new one for me. But if it creates a new friendship here and there, then great.
Good luck with the lumps and bumps!! I think I'd have to move if I were allergic to sunscreen… and that is one fast growing family!
Love your hubby's play dates!
Allergic to sun screen? What are you doing for this? I mean not to get harmed by sun rays?
Happy weekend!
B xx
Allergic to sunblock eh? I'm afraid I can go one better than that. I'm allergic to the sun. Yep. The sun. After a fairly minimal amount of exposure it makes me come out in a bumpy, itchy rash… which is pretty SuckyMcSuckSuck, except that I should have *fabulous* skin as I age. 😀
I was wondering about the man-date! Thanks for the update. So glad they are hitting it off! Have a great weekend.
Sounds like fun, the mandate/playdate thing. In the animal kingdom, babies grow kind of fast. Still it is amazing to watch….
Hi! You know I used to be allergic to sunblock. Then I picked up the coppertone for babies one. and no hives. it's the pink bottle, it says for babies.
that's the only one that doesn't give me that itchy bumpy rough red rash.
have you tried it?

Oh how fun! And what a bummer you are allergic to sunscreen, not fun! I'm going to enter your giveaway now.
I love the ducks and the man-date. What a great thing for a Papi to do. Not so much to love about a sunscreen allergy, but I hope yours goes away fast.
Could those feathered friends be any more cute:)
Good for Papi, everyone needs a play date once in a while 😉
That just warms my heart that Unknown Papi has a Daddy Buddy! Have a fabulous weekend!
Oh, that's gotta suck! 🙁 I have really sensitive skin on my face, but the rest of it seems pretty resilient. Rashes are awful: hope you get some relief soon!
sunscreen allergies must be very inconvenient in CA, especially! Hope your itchies clear up soon!
Congrats on the second man-date. Bromance is in the air!!!
😉
Ohhh bummer on the sunscreen. And boo to TJs! They're usually so good about things being natural and good. Fingers crossed you heal soon.
So glad the man-dates are working out. That has to be really nice. My husband could use a few more of those, too!

I hate allergies. Especially skin allergies. Always with the scratching… Boo!
I love love love pictures of your family.
Getting real and personal : ) That is what I am all about.
And good daddies!
Totally into good daddies : )
Those ducks are so cute! They grew so fast. 🙂
And yay for your husband getting a man-date!
Yay for man-dates! 🙂
How cute and beautiful those geese are! I'm always hearing from dog people that they wish their dogs would stay puppies forever. Puppies are great, but I prefer dogs. With adult dogs there's less work and more time to share playing and petting.
I hate sun screen too! I'd rather cover up more. Which, considering my figure, probably pleases other people. LOL
That is so neat that Papi found a friend. Guys don't have enough friends generally.
Love your goosey photos!
