Why This Compact Power Strip Is My Ultimate Summer Sidekick (And Should Be Yours Too)

Summer in our house is go time. Between chasing two kids, planning backyard BBQs, beach days, road trips, and late-night s’mores sessions, our house—and our gear—gets a serious workout. And you know what never seems to keep up? Our chargers. That’s why this summer, I’ve officially found my secret weapon: the TESSAN Compact Power Strip.

Mom Life = All the Devices, All the Time
Let’s be honest, we’re charging everything these days. Phones (mine and my husband's), tablets (because each child needs their own, of course), Bluetooth speakers for our backyard parties, and even those cute little portable fans we clip to the stroller.
Before finding these power strips, it felt like I was constantly hunting for outlets or untangling a web of cords. Now? I just plug in the sleek little TESSAN power strip, and suddenly we’ve got enough charging spots for everyone—and their gadgets. Seriously, it’s like giving our summer chaos a power-up.
Perfect for Family Travel, BBQs, and Beach Trips
This summer, we’re taking a road trip with the grandparents, and I already know the TESSAN power strips are coming with us. Hotel rooms never have enough outlets, and with all of us crammed in one space, being able to charge phones, tablets, sound machines, and maybe a laptop (because… #workingmom) all at once is a total game changer.
I also keep one on our patio for BBQ nights. With string lights, portable fans, a Bluetooth speaker, and multiple phones in rotation, it’s the ultimate cookout companion. No more arguing over who gets the charger first.
Sleek, Safe, and Seriously Handy
I love that the design is sleek and compact—it fits in my travel bag without taking up space, and it doesn’t look like an eyesore sitting out on the counter. But what really gives me peace of mind is the surge protection. We’ve had a few summer storms already, and I’m not about to let a freak power surge wipe out my devices. TESSAN’s got my back.
Creative Mom Hack? Keep One in the Car!
One more little tip from me to you: I keep a second TESSAN power strip in the glove box for road trips and car camping. With a car inverter, we’ve turned the backseat into a mini entertainment zone—kids charging tablets while I charge my portable pump or plug in a bottle warmer. It’s like parenting on pro mode.
Final Thoughts: One Simple Gadget, So Much Sanity
If you’re a busy parent juggling 1,001 things this summer, TESSAN charging products will simplify your life more than you expect. From keeping the family plugged in on beach days to avoiding meltdowns over dead tablets during road trips, it’s a small thing that makes a HUGE difference.
Trust me, you’ll wonder how you managed summers without it.
With love (and a fully charged phone),
