Get (slightly more) energy!

As the weather continues to (slowly but surely) get warmer, your kids might be getting moreansty to do things out and about. Until they’re old enough to drive (eek, we don’t want to think about that right now) they need you to come along. And THAT means you need the energy to keep up. Here are some tips and product reccs to  boost everyone’s bodies and brains with healthier eating and better sleep. (Remember sleep? Yeah, neither do we…)

Nature Walk Lantern

Take a night off from couch surfing and Netflix streaming to explore the wilds of your neighborhood on a warm evening, with this customizable lantern you build yourself lighting the way. Walking off your dinner instead of sitting it off can help sleep quality later on and you’ll all make more memories looking for night-time wildlife (even just dogs out for a walk) together.

Pick it up at KiwiCo.

The Quencher H2.0 FlowState™ Tumbler

Did you know that a lack of fluids can cause your heart to work harder pumping when it’s pumping oxygen through your body? Just the thought of it makes us thirsty! Stay hydrated with this tumbler that keeps drinks cold or hot for hours. The durable, recycled stainless-steel construction will stand up to a lifetime of use.

Find it at Stanley.

Brain Snack Pocket Activity Packs

Is it possible to keep your kids occupied without devices? (Asking for a friend…) The answer might be tucked into these screen-free activity packs. Each boxed set keeps little brains active with 20-minute doses of discovery – think puzzles, jokes, stickers, temporary tattoos, intriguing facts, and more – for junior explorers between 5 and 10 years old.

Get them at Uncommon Goods.

Business & Pleasure Co. Premium Cooler Bag

Raise a french fry if you’re guilty of always grabbing fast food on family road trips and outings. This CUTE lunch bag makes it easier to pack some healthier options for everyone. It’s insulated to keep drinks and fresh foods chilled while making a statement that says “I actually planned ahead today. SCORE!”

Stasher Silicone Reusable Snack Bag

Sure, you know fresh fruits and veggies are good for you, but they seem to last about a day before sadly wilting and dying in their refrigerator produce drawer. These clear silicone reusable bags do more than just store your fresh items; you can steam and microwave right in the bag! Plus, they’re dishwasher-safe. There go your excuses for not stocking up on greens!

Grab them at The Container Store.
