Picnic Pouch: Ready for a Picnic at any Moment

As you can tell from my recent posts, I enjoy picnics! And apart from when we travel as a family, my picnics are usually solo picnics. So, a week or so ago, as I ate by the river and realized I had forgotten to pack a napkin, I decided I need to create a little picnic pouch where I would keep picnic essentials that I could throw in my basket or bag at a moment’s notice. If you have missed those two recent posts, here they are: Be A Joy Seeker and What to Wear on a  Picnic.

This last picnic was a last minute one as the week had been busy, but I found that I had a little over an hour of free time before picking up my son from school. So I threw together a salad, packed some brie and grapes and a little piece of chocolate and grabbed my new pouch.

I also brought a book and a hat, and chose my Spanish basket to carry everything. I keep the hat and the multicolored blanket in my car at all times. While the blanket is polyester, I like that it is wipeable and is packable: it comes with a little bag you can squish it in.

I do not have much in my pouch because I don’t need much, but I might add a few things. Right now, I have a cutlery set, wet wipes, napkins and some sandwich bags that I use to corral my trash. What would you add to this pouch?

A bientôt!
