Hurray, picnic season has officially begun!

I love planning a picnic. Whether it’s for the whole family or a romantic outing for two, a successful picnic starts with packing the perfect basket. Here are some tips I use when organizing my basket.
- Be sure to load your basket with enough plates, cups, utensils and
napkins.
- Bring along an insulted cooler to keep highly perishable items cold.
- Pack the items you’ll use last, like trash bags and antibacterial wipes at the bottom of the basket.
- Line the bottom of your basket or cooler with ice packs and place the most perishable items closest to the cold source.
- Pack all food in plastic, water tight containers.
- Beverages can be frozen to help keep the food and the drinks icy cold.
- Last but not least, don’t forget to pack the sunscreen, the bug spray and ahhhhh yes, the sunglasses.

Now you can kick back, relax and enjoy the summer.
