Are you ready for your summer picnics?

Summer is almost here. I’m looking forward to lazy days on the beach and bike rides and hikes with the family. As we are getting ready for the summer I’m making sure I am always ready to have a spontaneous picnic outdoors. Be ready by making sure you have the essentials at hand.

In my neighborhood I see parents creating little picnic sites in their park and on the beach by bringing chairs, blankets and coolers to enjoy the outdoors. I hope to be a little more of an organized mom this season.  So here are my tips to enjoy the picnic season more and to spend the whole day outside without having to go home.

Here is my list on what I find good to have on hand:

Plastic resealable containers

Coolers

Backpacks that are also a cooler

mini bbq grill:Bodum Fyrkat 13.4-Inch Portable Charcoal Grill, Green

Mini barbeque bodum

Wet wipes

Napkins

Coolpacks

Blankets

Shelter from the sun (umbrella,fort or a shady tree).
