Picnicking in style

One thing about having a family that you have to think about is all of the outings that are going to happen, from school activities, sports, to road trips, and vacations. 

We have been through a few picnic baskets in our days but have never had a picnic backpack so it is totally new to us. What I like most about this picnic backpack from Stanfer is that it has pretty much everything you need. A good sized blanket, the backpack to hold everything, service setting for up to 4 people, salt & pepper shakers, butter case, napkins, wine opener, as well as a win bottle holder and lots of room in the back compartment to pack all of your goodies in. 

You can also fit a 1 liter soda bottle or a bottle of sparkling juice in the wine holder. My daughter loves how comfortable the shoulder straps are, she said this will be easy to carry even while hiking which is something my older daughters take our younger daughters on from time to time.

A great way to save some money by bringing your own food from home as well as being eco friendly because everything is reusable. The blanket is water resistant on one side so that when you are sitting, you don't have to worry about getting wet from the ground. What is best is that everything fits right inside of the pack when you are done.

We have several road trips and days trips that this will be used on. Our children are excited to get going once their summer vacation starts.

This picnic backpack is available on my amazon link below.

Camping Gear must have

One of the best camping gear items I suggest is a headlamp like this one. It is rechargeable, has 4 modes one light, outside lights, all three lights and blinking lights. Great for camping, fishing, hiking, stargazing, and working in dark places. I love that this comes with a case to store it, in between uses. The only thing that could make this better is if it recharged by solar power. 

My daughter loves to use it when she builds forts in the house or when she is looking for frogs or slugs during the night time. Great for children and adults. If you are interested in this you can find at my affiliate link below.

Stainless Steel Cups

Growing up I remember going to friends or even families houses and they had these colored metal cups to drink out of. Our family was more into glass or plastic and with my own family, we had 6 children so we did mostly plastic it just made sense, but that was because I couldn't find those metal cups I remembered as a child. 

These cups from SeaTurtle are stainless steel, much more sturdier then the cups I remember from my childhood and come in a pack of 4. Two of the cups are 16oz and the other two are 10oz great for families. What I love most is that they come with a lifetime warranty which can be worth it in the long run. 

The stainless steel cups from SeaTurtle can be found at my affiliate link below.

Cold Refreshing Drinks

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

One thing I like to have on hand is a good water bottle. One that keeps my cold drinks cold all day long, and hot drinks hot for long periods of time. This 17oz water bottle from SunCraft is one of the choices out there. It is well made and will perform as stated, keeping cold drinks cool for 24-36 hours and hot drinks hot from 12-24 hours. 

When you are on the run with children in tow it is always a good idea to bring drinks along with you during the hot summer months. Stopping to buy drinks can be expensive and it ads up quickly. Bringing your own water or other cool drinks can save you both time and money. This water bottle is also available in the 25oz size and come in your choice of  black, mint, and ocean which I have pictured above. 

With this you can also reuse so no more bottles to recycle or send to the landfills saving everyone.

The SunCast water bottles can be found on my affiliate link below.

EZYKOO Mess KIt

I have been looking for something like this for a while. The only thing I see missing really are cups and plates otherwise this is a great kit for camping, hiking, or scouts. I love that the pieces are stainless steel which means no broken plastic or glassware to worry about. 

Easy to clean and care for this set comes all sealed in a nice zippered pouch where everything fits just right. In this set from EZYKOO you get the case, two bowls, 2 spoons, and 2 forks.

Muster bag for Kids

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

This Muster bag Kids Backpack is my daughters favorite new bag, which surprised me because I was only sent a traditional black camo  instead of the pink that I thought she would like more. She takes this to school, wears it while riding her bike and even when we go on appointments.  This bag is a hit with all of the possibilities from everything above to hiking, camping, scouts, etc. Lots of pockets, zip out padded seat, clasp close arm straps, and extra bag which my daughter uses for her swimming clothes or library books depending on day of week. Very versatile a bag to use for years to come. I am very happy with the quality and even with everyday use everywhere we go this bag still looks like new. 

The Muster bag Kids BackPack can be found in 6 colors on Amazon.

Running Headlamp

We have a few of these headlamps from different companies but I like that this one has reflective spots on the head so that both other can see you while you can see where you are going with the light. Great for running, camping, fishing, hiking, stargazing, and playing hide and seek during the night.

I love that this is adjustable and can fit from my youngest who is 8 all the way up to my husband who has a huge head. This is really nice to have anytime you are going to be in the dark. Think of giving this to children to have in their rooms for late night reading or when they are camping in the tent.

This takes 3 AAA batteries which are included so you are ready to go as soon as you get this. No looking for those button cell batteries because these are much easier to find.

The BoldBrite Headlamp is available on Amazon.

BYBlight 9 LED Mini Aluminum Flashlight

This is a very nice lightweight 4 pack of flashlights. The only complaint I have is that the strap can not fit around your wrist but I guess you could attach it to one of those stretchy coiled bracelet things if you had too. Great for camping, scouts, emergencies, power outages.

We really like that these are color coded so each family member knows which one is theirs. They take 3 AAA batteries each which are not included. Small and compact will fit in tackle box, purse, pocket, drawer, glove compartment, etc.

Solar Camping Lantern

This is an awesome product to have on hand. You just never know when you will need a light when there is no power available. This can be charged with a USB or you can let it charge with the sun.

Great for camping, fishing, hiking, emergencies, and power outages.

My girls love to use this in their rooms as a night light sometimes when they are pretending to camp.

I was very surprised by how bright the light actually is. Much better then expected.



This solar lantern can be found on Amazon. My readers can get a discount. You can purchase the lantern for $9.99 using the code JXGHI872



What the Bright Outdoors has to say about their product.

The Bright Outdoors Solar Lantern is a super versatile, super bright light that suits any outdoors activity. Solar powered, you can simply leave it to soak up the sun's rays or plug in to a USB outlet for 6-10 hours of light. 

The ingenious design creates 3 products in one: leave closed for a directional flashlight or pull open for a lantern that lights up the campsite or yard. If you need to charge your phone or other device, simply plug into the power bank (will charge the average smartphone about 50%) 2 different brightness modes let you control the battery life. And there's even an SOS flash setting for when things get rough.

Clever design gives big light (65 lumens) from a package that folds down to just 2 inches high and 3 inches wide. It easily fits in your backpack, cupboard, glove compartment or just about anywhere!

Survival Hax

Summer is just around the corner so it is time to make sure your First Aid Kits are stocked up or even buy a new one. This is a great one for your car, hiking, camping, biking, traveling. You just never know when an accident will happen, so it is always good to be semi prepared.

I love that this is compact and has so much to offer from a blanket, to supplies, and evena fire starter so you can stay warm if something were to happen to keep you out in the evening or in the cold. This kit is great for campers as well, think scouts to have on hand in their hiking bags.

Collapsible Colorful Dog Travel Bowl Set

This is a nice set if you have pets and take them with you on hikes or when you are traveling. What is really nice is if your dog is trained to come to a dog whistle because this set comes with three to match the three bowls in the set.

We have a Saint Bernard so these are a bit too small for her but they do work well for our three cats so they don't fight when we give them an extra special meal. Great for smaller dogs as well. I love that these fold flat for travel. The carabiner clips are an extra for being able to clip these on a belt or backpack.

This set of collapsible bowls can be found on Amazon.

Hydration Belt

This Hydration belt from Koh Fit is bigger than most I have seen and is more sturdy or comfortable then others I have seen.

I like that this hydration belt comes with metal water bottles but I wish they had a wide mouth so that I can fit ice into the water bottles, as well as making them easier to clean.

With three pockets, one in the middle and one on either side you have lots of room to separate and organize your needs, from money, music, snacks, keys, ID, you have a place for them all.

This comes in two colors, has great reflective quality and fits great without hurting your hips.
