The time is here! The kids are out of school and ready for summertime adventures. Unfortunately, you never really know when adventure will strike. How many times have you been caught unprepared by unexpected great weather and you don't have sunglasses or sunscreen? Or, that time the whole soccer team got drenched and covered in mud by an unexpected downpour, and the only towel you have in the car is the one your dog sits on?
Be prepared for anything by packing a summer bag of essentials and keeping it in the car. You can get a tote bag or a small laundry basket at your nearest store that sells everything for $1 to keep things organized in your trunk.
