2 Tips for fast & safe Outside Play {aka Fresh Air}

Yesterday I talked about the importance of walking it off or getting some fresh air when you and yours are stressed. Today I wanna share a 2 big tips I've discovered to ease this option for sanity as well as keep everyone safe:

1. Prep ahead & keep necessities easily accessible
   • shoes, socks, & set of clothing for each child {blush from the mom of the PJ-wearing kids here}
   • outside-specific toys in a place kept outside that easy for kids to retrieve as well as clean up themselves
   • stroller ready for ride
   • bug spray & sun screen ready depending on the season
   • sunglasses & hats

   

2. Set boundaries
   • "don't go past the tree" or "stay on the driveway"
   • teach children to walk on the right side of the road
   • hook a rope to a stroller to train walkers near you on a walk
   • place something in the way as a giant physical reminder of boundary as well as to keep other drivers a good distance from your little blessings

What fun tips do you have for gaining everyone's sanity once again or for outside play?
