An Organized Day Out!
Have you ever had those days where you decided to take the kids out for the day and were not prepared? No snacks packed, no water to drink, no activities planned?
I know in my home, those days turn out to be a disaster! And expensive by the time you purchase the items to fill the little bellies!
Here is my check list of must haves before we venture out for the day! Wether you are out for just a couple of hours, or an entire day, your day will be much smoother with the following!
1. A Plan.
I like to try to do new things with the kids, and visit new places. Most major cities have a family magazine which lists activities daily in your area. Look at these magazines and plan something new to do!
2. Food and Water
Are you like me and have kids tell you they are hungry the minute you get into the car? Why do they do that? A successful and wallet friendly day includes snacks packed from home!
3. Sweaters/Change of clothes
I like to keep a change of clothes in the car along with as a sweater just in case it's a bit cooler out then you had anticipated. You never know when an accident will happen. Although my kids are all a bit older (5 through 9) you can just never be too prepared! All it takes is a spill, some mud or an unexpected stop at a water park!
Just 3 simple things that do not take long to do can go a long way, and keep a day much more enjoyable and organized!
Now get out there and have some fun with the kids!
