Momma's Game Day Must Haves
This post contains affiliate links, but as always all opinions are my own. I only recommend items we actually use and love!
I've officially entered a new stage of motherhood. My boys have begun sports! I was going to wait a few more years, but the opportunity came up and they jumped at it. They were so excited to play on a team and I couldn't say no.Now, our weekends are filled with practice and games days. Game days have been a lot of fun. Levi is playing soccer and Liam is playing football. Liam has been obsessed with learning the plays and being the best on the team. The fact that he's the smallest one hasn't even crossed his mind. Levi is a different ball game. He likes running, but doesn't care which direction or trying to get the ball. Although, today he discovered the goalie position and was in love. He didn't have to do anything, but wait for the ball.We're about to have our last game and I've definitely learned a few things.I've learned through trial and error what to bring and what not to bring. I tried to prepare for every possibility. We ended up being there all morning because we had a gap between games.The biggest problem I had was lugging around so many things. My husband usually ended up carrying it all while I tried wrangling all the kids from around the field. Less is definitely more when it comes to game days with kids.
1. Drawstring Backpack
My kids have a dozen different backpacks, but we made sure to have one just for game day and practice. It helps because I can keep all of their equipment in one bag and it makes the game days a little easier.
2. Water Bottles
Kids have to bring water to each practice and game day so a water bottle was essential. I love this one too because it's insulated and keeps it cold the whole morning.
3. Camp Chair With Bag
Camp chairs are a must have for mom and dad. This one also has a bag which makes carrying it much easier.
4. Insulated Bag
While the little kids and I watch the game, they're always snacking. It's the only way to keep them busy. Our insulated bag has been great because it keeps all of our snacks good and cold.
5. Kid's Wagon With Canopy
If you don't get anything else, get this. This is my absolute favorite. It has straps and keeps the little ones buckled in with their little activities. Not to mention it folds up small!
