Your Official “School’s Out” Survival Starter Pack
Before summer officially begins, here’s your unofficial parent starter pack checklist:
- Popsicles stocked
- Sunscreen you’ll still somehow forget to apply evenly
- A designated “wet towel” zone
- Easy snacks
- A backup iced coffee plan
- One local outing each week
- And realistic expectations
Because summer does not need to look perfect to be meaningful.
Some of the best summer memories happen in the middle of messy kitchens, cheap popsicles, and random evenings that were never even planned.
And honestly?
That’s probably exactly how childhood should feel.
