We live in a fast pace world these days, where it seems like we are always on the go. When you add kids, school, sports, extra curricular activities it makes our lives seem even more fast pace . So here are somethings that make my life easier trying to keep my family of 5 “on the go” experiences less stressful.
1) Having small kids who ALWAYS seem thirsty, we have small portable water bottles in the fridge ready to go OR fill up water bottles for the kids and have them ready to grab and go. 2) Sunscreen: I keep a small sunscreen in my purse and one spray container in the car. Now I am ready to protect my skin and my kids no matter where we are in a rush to go. 3) Portable toilet. I know this sounds funny, but I have a small portable toilet in the car for my two youngest kids, who always seem to have to use the restroom as soon as we get on the road, go where there are no restrooms, OR go where the restrooms have long lines or are very dirty. 4)SNACKS. This is another big one. I ALWAYS have packaged granola bars, fruit snacks, fruit, etc ready to go. Now all I have to do is grab some snacks and we run out the door. This is great when we are driving to help tide the kids over until we can have lunch, makes long drives seem not as long, and keeps the kids happy while we are waiting to pick up their older sister from her activities. 5) Portable first aid kit. Oh my there are more times than I can count where I have needed a bandaid. This makes it so nice to be on the go and not have to stop when your small kids get a scrape.
6) Extra clothing. I like to have a jacket, short, and a top for my two small kids in the car. This makes it so much easier to be active. You never know when there is a weather change or your kids fall in a mud puddle at the park. Having extras in the car, make being on the go SO MUCH easier. 7) SMART PHONE. Having a smart phone has made my life on the go VERY EASY AND VERY CONVENIENT. I can get emails, directions (navigation), check out sales online, etc. No more having to take the kids to coffee shops, grab your Seattle’s Best Coffee and your smart phone and you are set.For those of us who depend on our morning lattes to get us moving each day, Seattle’s Best Coffeemakes it easy to grab an iced latte and go with their three tasty options.
