• Add pajamas and/or bathing suits or whatever clothing items you need

• Sun hat/snow hat: Sunday Afternoons kids' hats (discount code DRORGANICMOMMY)

• Healthier treat options such as; Skout bars (discount code DRORGANICMOMMY) or organic fruit leathers ( Solely )

• If you want to add candy, I recommend a dye-free candy: (i.e. Yum Earth, Unreal, or Lake Champlain chocolates).
