Bring a travel pillow for more comfortable trips.Going on a roadtrip? Before you hit the road, make sure you pack with a travel pillow so you can rest your neck well, have a good sleep, and start your vacation with good and fun vibes.
Make sure you bring a portable charger. Nowadays, we rely mostly on Google Maps or Waze while traveling, which can be a lifesaver especially when you’re travelling in a new city. Don’t forget to keep a portable power bank with you on your trip to make sure your phone is recharged while navigating road trips.
For creative bonding time at home:
Build an indoor fort. Having a great time with the family doesn’t always require leaving the house. Some of our fondest memories happened right at home too! Simply pitch a tent in the living room and set up the tent with sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets just like you would when going on a real camping trip.
Set up indoor gardening. Rain or shine, warm weather or cold, gardening indoors is always a fun activity that kids enjoy. The next time you want to share your passion for being a plantita or plantito to your kids, get them a mini garden tool set to help them grow their own little garden. You’ll have fun, and you’ll add a little more greenery to your home!
Bring the pool indoors. Looking for an instant refreshing pool dip at without the long trip? Set up an inflatable pool at home instead! A family-sized inflatable pool is perfect for the whole family. It’s a much safer way to enjoy summer and is also perfect for at-home pool parties.
Host a movie night. Watching movies is also an exciting way to spend a lazy afternoon with your kids, especially when it's too hot to play outside.
