Busy Mommy Must Haves

busy mama must haves // what busy moms always need for on the go with kids

I know we all are caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday, and sometimes I forget to actually drink water and eat. I have found that if I keep a few essentials with me, it reminds me to slow down and take care of my own body. Moms get so busy taking care of their kids, multi-tasking and getting from one place to another that we put our bodies on the backburner. I know I am so guilty of this!

When I finally sit down for 2.5 seconds for the first time during the day, it usually hits me that I either haven’t eaten or haven’t had enough water for the day! Here are a few essentials for being a busy mama on the go!

WATER – I know I forget to drink enough during the day! Keeping FIJI water with me is key! I love the taste and it’s been a personal favorite of mine for years. The girls love them too because of the design of the bottle. They feel like it’s a “special treat” when they get their own water bottle!
True Lime/Lemon – This is a MUST when you’re not getting enough water. I add them to almost every bottle I drink because I love the taste. There is no added preservatives or sweeteners. Just lemon/lime!
Sunglasses – Because let’s be honest…we don’t have time to do our makeup every day, and this hides the majority of my face! Ha!
A Bag Full of Goodies – I always keep a large bag/tote with me at all times when I’m with the kids! Something to keep the iPads, snacks, extra change of clothes, sunscreen, etc.
Snacks – I keep a snack for the girls and myself always. When I get home, I add a snack for the next time that way it is already ready when I grab my bag and head out the door.

We love FIJI water so much that we get it sent to us by the case. It’s super easy to do and then you know you’ll always have water on hand. You can check into it HERE.
