Mother's Day is the one day out of the year devoted to you! You spend all year taking care of the kids, the house and your partner - you deserve a little time off! It's okay to be selfish and spend some quality time by yourself, but if you can't find time on the official Mother's Day (Sunday, May 12), find some other time to pamper yourself by taking our suggestions or creating your own.
If you’ve lived through even one Texas summer, you already know that things can change quickly. One minute it’s a normal day, and the next you’re dealing with a pop-up storm, a power outage, or the AC suddenly going quiet (and the Wifi going out)!
It helps to have a few basics on hand so if something comes up, you’re not scrambling in the moment. A little preparation now can make a big difference in how smoothly your family handles those unexpected interruptions.
Here are a few simple essentials to keep on hand:
- Gallon jugs of water
- Shelf-stable food (crackers, peanut butter, canned goods)
- Flashlights + batteries
- Portable fans
- Power banks / charged devices
- Ice packs or cooler
- Manual can opener
WoodlandsMommy Editor's Tip: Do a quick check at the start of summer—replace batteries, rotate snacks, and make sure everything is easy to grab if you need it.
