The sun is shining, there’s a beautiful blue sky outdoors and we are here for it. We love being outdoors. There’s something about the cool fresh air and the smell of grass that gets us excited about the season ahead. We make it a point to spend some time outdoors every single day and more often than not, you’ll find us with a basket and our favorite snacks ready for a picnic.
Today, I’m teaming up with NABISCO and Walmart to share with you four tips on how to have the perfect pop-up picnic. This is a fun way to add a twist to an afternoon walk. It requires very little prep beforehand, but we get to sit and snack together so we call it a picnic.
FOUR TIPS TO THE PERFECT PICNIC
- Bring a sturdy blanket – I have a quilt that Alex bought me when we were 19. It is sturdy, big, and easy to clean. This is our everything blanket. It’s our picnic blanket, our fort building blanket, and the best part is that it’s big enough to fit all of us and then some. I usually store this blanket in my laundry room and have it ready for when we’re craving a pop-up picnic.
- Find the perfect spot – There are a few spots around our neighborhood that we love. They’re shaded, have plenty of trees for us to play around, and backs up to a pond. This spot is also easy to walk to or scooter to.
- Bring the perfect snack – The perfect on-the-go snack for us are the NABISCO Multipacks. They’re the classic snacks that I grew up eating but they’re perfectly packaged for all of our on-the-go needs. We love all of the NABISCO variety multipacks, but our favorites are the RITZ Bits Variety 20 Count, and the Chips Ahoy! 18 Count. They also have the Snacking Essentials Variety 30 Count that features OREO Cookies and RITZ Portion Pack 18 Count that we all love! I buy them up at my local Walmart online grocery and drive up to pick them up. Walmart is always so convenient and they always have the best prices and quality. I really can’t go wrong with Walmart. The kids and I grab a few and bring them along on our pop-up picnic because they’re so tasty. These are also perfect for lunch time add-ins, late-night snacks, road trips, and for anytime we’re on the go.
- Leave the screens at home – Taking some time to play outdoors is a great break from screens and work. We make it a point to leave the screens at home and make space for running, skipping rocks, climbing trees, or just taking a minute to breathe in the fresh air. This is a great break from our normal routine and it allows us the opportunity to engage one another in conversation and build relationships.
It’s always such a fun time with this crew of mine. They’re always up for my pop-up picnics and I love that I can count on NABISCO Multipack products to keeps us snacking happy! Head on over to walmart.com and grab the RITZ Bits Variety 20 Count and Chips Ahoy! 18 Count Multipacks for your family pop-up picnic and tell me, which one is your favorite snack?
