A week of Mommy and Grandma tips:
"To-Go" bags can be sanity savers for everyone in the family. They will reduce the frustration that can often precede what should be a fun event because everyone is searching for a missing item. Determine what the frequent activities are that you and your family are engaged in outside of the house and pack tote bags containing the items that you always need to take with. If you live in a beach community like we do, beach "To-Go" bags are essential. We have a bag of towels and the beach blanket and a bag with sun screen and lotion, bug spray, and handi-wipes. Another great thing to keep together are all of the bathing suits and flip-flops for the family. Rather than having each family member keep their suits in their own dresser drawer, designate a drawer, or a bag located in the laundry room for everyone's suits. After each washing place in the bag and you will always know where to find them. This method works great for everything from sports equipment and uniforms to library books. A great "To-Go" bag is coloring books and colored pencils (not crayons since they can melt) and a few car-toys that you can grab as you head out the door. Put some fun back into all of your "To-Go" activities and save yourself some time and frustration.
