The other day I was over at my client’s while she was attempting to corral three children under the age of 6 from the backyard and into the car, pack snacks for all three, plus swimsuits and goggles and towels, plus a diaper bag, change of clothes, and her sanity.

Luckily things are looking pretty Simply over there and so the majority of the chaos was relegated to the small humans, who are inherently (bless them) so. But you know–when it comes to kids it’s sink or swim. If you don’t have your outing supplies on hand you may risk kissing that pool playdate goodbye.

With that in mind, I’ve assembled the essentials for easier beach days, picnics in the park, swim team meets, and so on. Let’s call it Operation Organized Family-Friendly Summer Outing, or: OOFFSO, for short, obviously.
