Soccer snacks and other things I've learned this spring
Normally, I try to keep my kids' organized activities to one per season, but this spring, those activities will be overlapping for about a three week period. Suddenly, my older daughter is very close to being over-scheduled, something I try hard to avoid. She doesn't want to drop an activity, though, so we're going to make rest, good nutrition, and quiet time a priority so that she can power through.As a family who typically cherishes unscheduled free time, we're learning how to be a family on the go. Here are a few things I've learned:
- Always have a stash of band-aids on hand. Spring is a notorious time for skinned knees.
- Take a reusable bottle filled with water every where you go.
- April is not too early for sunscreen.
- An umbrella is especially useful if stashed in your car, instead of your closet at home.
- It might not seem chilly now, but pack sweatshirts anyway.
- Always, always, have an energy-boosting snack ready.
- popcorn
- nuts
- sunflower seeds
- frozen grapes
- raisins
- hard boiled eggs
- half of a sandwich
- fruit
- chopped veggies
