Always have snacks
Food is a big deal in our house. If I’m not hungry, then you can be certain that someone else is. And what this means is that we have snacks with us, at all times. The best snacks are ones that aren’t processed and don’t need to be kept hot or cold. Fruit like apples are great or even some veggies that you can grab and go as you’re running out the door.
Other great food items to have on hand are granola bars or even some homemade fruit snacks are always a hit, too!

Don’t leave your house with sunscreen
I always have sunscreen on me at all times. Why? Because you never know when you’re going to have an epic chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine. We’ve stumbled upon parks, beaches and just trails that are worth exploring on so many of our journey’s. And luckily, I’ve been able to protect our skin and lather up from the sun rays because I’ve had a travel sized sunscreen in my purse!

Part of self-care is also challenging yourself! Use the summer months as the perfect opportunity to create some amazing memories for your family.

So many people never plan any new trips or ideas because they feel as though they have to be some big ordeal. Wrong! Some of our best memories are the ones where we were literally right down the road!
