Two weekends ago, my husband and I took Meyer to the beach for the first time this summer.

After we posted a video of the outing on facebook, a friend from high school offered me her best sand-removal advice: 

"Our kids always had a problem with sand sticking to the top of their heads (usually self-applied somehow). To remove the sand, apply baby powder to it and lightly rub it in. The baby powder removes the moisture that is holding the sand to the scalp and the sand will fall off. Works like a charm!"

I have already put the baby powder in our beach bag, and I'm going to try it next time out.

Anything to save our family car and the leather interior from a few more gritty grains.
