Summer is here, parents! It’s time to prepare for the long school break ahead. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t worry—I’ve compiled a list of 10 essential items to help you navigate the summer months with your little ones.

1. A Well-Stocked Bar: It’s no secret that a little liquid courage goes a long way! Stock up on your favorite drinks—trust me, it’ll help you cope with the delightful chaos that comes with nonstop kid time. Plus, you might forget about the endless bickering for a moment or two.
2. A Large Container for Snacks: Instead of catering to everyone’s individual cravings, grab a huge container and fill it with a variety of snacks. Let the kids dive in and serve themselves. No fuss, no mess!
3. A Fly Swatter: This handy tool is great for swatting away flies but can also serve as a gentle reminder for the kiddos when they start squabbling over who gets to play with the new toy first.
4. A Garden Hose: Perfect for a quick spray when the kids are misbehaving. It also doubles as a way to cool them down on hot days—you know how kids can get a bit ripe when they’ve spent all day outside.
5. Life Jackets: Keeping an eye on kids during pool time can be a challenge, especially if you’re enjoying a drink or two. Equip them with life jackets and let them float while you relax—after all, that pitcher of punch won’t refill itself!
6. Netflix: Set up a kid-friendly profile on your streaming service. With a little prep, you can create a foolproof guide for your little ones. Once done, they can binge-watch while you take a much-deserved break.
7. Backyard Tents: Set up tents in the yard and encourage your kids to spend their summer outside. Let them think they’re camping! Just remind them that indoor visits are only allowed for bathroom breaks.
8. A Truckload of Sand: Or dirt! Hire a landscaping service to dump a pile in your driveway. Give the kids some toy shovels and tell them they can earn a treat if they move it to the neighbor’s yard. They’ll love the adventure, and you won’t have to worry about the mess.
9. Backpacks with Leashes: For a little extra peace of mind, you can keep the kids tethered to a sturdy tree or post. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish while they’re busy exploring within a safe zone!
10. Bulk Everlasting Gobstoppers: Hand these out in the morning and enjoy the peace and quiet until dinner time. A little candy goes a long way when it comes to keeping kids entertained!

With a few essentials in hand, summer can be a breeze. Even if you only manage to tackle the first item, you’ll be on your way to surviving the season!
