It’s almost the official start of summer, but we have been lucky enough to experience summer weather in the Spring. Yes, I said lucky! That’s because I’m not really a winter person. Living in Canada I don’t exactly have a choice, but that’s why I soak up every single minute of warm weather and sunny skies! Pre-kids, I didn’t have much of a summer routine. It was just business as usual with the exception of changing over my clothes in the closet from winter to summer. However, summer weather presents a whole slew of challenges and changes now that I have kids. Mainly, we have to get summer ready!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leaving the house is never a simple process when you have kids, so being prepared is key. Whether we are heading out to our local park, the boy’s ball hockey, soccer or baseball game, or heading up north to the cottage for the weekend, there are a few things that we always need. Here are some of the things we do to help ensure we aren’t (always) running late or leaving home without some summer necessities and essentials.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure your bag is fully stocked! While my kids are no longer in diapers, I still always carry a bag of wipes with me. Summer usually means messy \/ dirty and sticky hands. So wipes are always handy. The other thing that I always keep in my bag is\u00a0Banana Boat Simply Protect Kids Sunscreen Lotion<\/strong><\/a>. This new line of sunscreen is made with 25% fewer ingredients, including no parabens, oxybenzone or added fragrances and oils. The gentle, tear-free formula is made especially for kids. It’s also a mineral base formula and is\u00a0also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.\u00a0\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. Keep hats accessible. Luckily my kids love wearing their hats (me, not so much). But they don’t always remember to bring them along. My solution (which isn’t fool proof – I mean we’re talking about kids here), is to keep them handy in a bin by the door. This way, we are all more likely to see them and remember to grab them before we head out.\u00a0\"\"<\/li>\n
  3. Hydration is key! While I never leave home without snacks – and I mean NEVER – including a quick run to the grocery store, I don’t always remember to bring water with us. However, it’s a must for the warm summer months. I just making it a habit to grab water when I grab snacks and it’s becoming second nature now.\u00a0\"\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are some of the ways my family gets ready for the great outdoors in the summer months. I would love to hear about your summer routines and tips.<\/p>\n
