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.

Traveling with children isn't always easy. You are trying to keep your eyes on the road but your child wants some attention too. Unless you have other children or another grown up in the car a product like this can help out by keeping your child entertained beyond the dvd player or electronic devices. 

Print out some pages from sites like Pinterest like road bingo, spot license plates from each state, etc. My daughter loves that this comes in a bag so when she is done using it in the car she can take in the house with her. We found that it works great for when a child is sick at home, make a great tray for while they are sitting in bed or in the living room. They can color, eat, etc. 

The mess size pockets are great for pens, markers, crayons, colored pencils, water bottles, snacks, etc. What I like about this is that it has an adjustable strap so that you can have it around your child so when you are traveling and you come to a quick stop, we all know they happen at times the tray will stay in place, no more papers, crayons, etc rolling all over the vehicle.
