If you ever hop on over to my YouTube or Instagram stories, then you know just how much we love a good staycation. We try to find somewhere close to home to spend the night every month or so. Becasue we love travel just that much & it because it breaks up the mundane of daily work from home life. We have learned a thing or two about what you need to bring along with you, besides all the obvious stuff. I wanted to throw in some that you may not have thought of yet but that can definitely elevate your staycation.
Since a staycation, by definition, is close to home, you will be able to pack more and bring more extra goodies along with you. We love the ability to drive our own car and bring everything to make our stay extra awesome.
First on the list is The Workout Bucket List by Greg Presto. My hubby and I have been making it a point to stay consistent with our workouts, and at home we have our normal gym routine, but when we travel we try our best to make workouts fun. This book does that, x 1000! It has been so much fun to go through the book and challenge and motivate ourselves – plus the kids love to get in on it too. The coolest part is this book is not just a new workout plan or fad – it combines history, pop culture, travel, inspiration, and health to really inspire you to try new activities and exercises.
The next thing we NEVER leave home without is something for a good snack or breakfast! You never want to be starving and waiting for everyone else in your group – or sitting by the pool or at the beach and realizing your stomach is growling. I always make sure we have delicious and nutritious snacks with us and CORE Bars have been our go-to lately. They are made with whole grains, prebiotic fiber, and probiotics to increase gut health, immunity, and wellness. These will not just keep you full, but also work with your body to actually benefit you. What could be better? Oh yeah, the fact that they also taste great! Use code SUMMER20 for 20% off.
Speaking of forgetting snacks, I definitely DO NOT leave for any vacation without some drinks! It’s the absolute worst when you’re thirsty and don’t have something to quench it. Plus, travel takes it out of you, and even though your mission may be to relax, we all know that it can be draining. We all need something that will bring us back to life. I have been loving EcoDrink Naturals which keeps me hydrated while also serving me with 100% DV of Vitamin A, C, D, E, B7 and B12 and contains 28 highly absorbable nutrients including key electrolytes. This is what I need when chasing my kids around this summer and I’m so glad that I packed it.
Any time spent in the sun and my skin is craving Lily of The Desert 99% Aloe Vera Gelly! I love this stuff! We have tried so many different aloe lotions and potions and nothing compares to this one. It’s made with Organically Grown Aloe Vera and leaves our skin feeling moisturized and soft, without being super sticky. This is skin care that I can get behind.
When it comes to traveling with a family (and bringing your snacks and drinks along with you) you also have got to have your SOLO Cups and Paper Plates with you too. This lives on my “Packing List” because I never want to forget them. Paper plates and these fun clear cups make meal times fun and carefree -which is definitely the best part of any staycation!
Everything about your trip should make you feel like you’ve really gone on a vacation. You deserve it, mama. I know one last thing that you’re going to want to throw in the suitcase and that is these Women’s Summit & Go Slipper in Honey from Staheekum. Aren’t they so cute!? I am completely obsessed with them, but not only that, they are beyond comfortable! These are indoor/outdoor shoes, so you’ve got slippers and walking around shoes in one. They also have a memory foam insole and recycled water bottle lining – pretty awesome! Plus, a tree is planted for every item sold on staheekum.com. Get 10% off with code: BBOXX22
I hope this list gives you some more ideas on what to pack for your next family staycation. Have a great rest of the summer, friends!
