Preparation seems to be the key to surviving sports mom life! Wouldn’t you say?!? If you’ve ever been at a game or practice and forgot something important, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. We all leave the house in a hurry and 9 times out of 10 times forget something. Most of the time it is a non-essential item but every now and then it’s something important like SHOES!! 😉
Our little secret for being prepared without having to remember every little thing that you need is…a sports survival bag. The best “practice” for any sports season is to set up a bag that has everything you will or might need for the season. It should be a bag that you can just grab and go without having to pack every time.
