— Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring today’s post —

Summertime means crazy hot weather here in Texas, so for us, we’re poolside as much as possible — grilling, gathering with friends, catching up on reading and relaxing. And with how busy life is during the work week, Walmart+ has really made weekend prep easier, so my friends, family and I can make the most of our moments together.

Over the past year, our Walmart+ membership has helped us save on time, gas and groceries with free same-day delivery on everything we need for summer weekends.

We love inviting our friends over to grill or make homemade pizzas, and when we’re by the pool, I love setting out fruits, snacks and cold drinks for them to enjoy. We recently ordered groceries, a bunch of pool floats, towels, sunscreen and insulated wine and drink tumblers for everyone to enjoy over Fourth of July!  Walmart+ made getting together at a moment’s notice totally easy with free same day delivery ($35 order minimum, restrictions apply).

As you prep to host your own summertime gatherings, I’m sharing some of our favorite essentials. I especially love the super comfy flip flops, tote and drinkware. Plus, don’t forget to add some reading material to your cart for some rest & relaxation time.
