Sand between toes, scraped knees, sunburns, spills, mosquito bites and popsicles. Sounds like SUMMER! The first thought of summer (as a parent), after being responsible for their out of school boredom, is probably the park and swimming pools. Heading to the park for parents is like a double edged sword. You want to take them somewhere (FREE) to cure their anxiousness and boredom but you have to deal with all the drama that comes along with going to the park. Did I mention, you have to sit there and watch, I know parenting is rough! I GOT YOU, I have created a list of items you need to KEEP PACKED in your vehicle or stroller all summer long for your children and for yourself. YES, YOU! Stop heading to the park with nothing for yourself besides your phone, get it together girl, you need items too!
DISCLAIMER: I will be sharing Target as a reference a lot because their dollar spot is bomb and have most of the items at a great price.
