WFMW-It's All in the Bag

I have a quick and easy tip for you guys this week!

Summer is in full swing and we are spending a lot of time at the pool. We've got more wet towels and swimsuits than people in our house.

I keep our swim bag in the laundry room and when I pull clean beach towels and swim gear out of the dryer or from hanging out to dry, I fold them and put them directly in the pool bag. 

My kids are usually so excited about the thought of going swimming, they aren't very helpful in the gathering and packing.

So, we always have a bag ready to go for the pool, so we can take a dip at a moment's notice.

Which would be now!
