Article: One of the most important things to bring on a family beach trip is a cooler full of ice and things to eat and drink! Since you will be spending at least a few hours at the beach, your family will need some snacks and water at the very least. However, packing a light lunch for everyone is ideal. Some good beach food and drinks include: Reusable bottles filled with water and an extra gallon jug to refill them Fresh fruit, such as grapes and blueberries Easy to eat sandwiches, such as peanut butter and jelly, hummus, or turkey wraps Squeezable yogurt and applesauce pouches Before you head out on your family beach trip, have everyone change into their bathing suits and grab a towel and a change of clothes. Pack these items for any little ones as well. Be sure to consider what your family wants to do after spending the day at the beach. For example, if you will be going shopping or taking a walking through town, then they will all need to have comfortable walking shoes. If you have a baby or toddler, pack 2 changes of clothes plus diapers and wipes. Make sure to bring a wide-brimmed hat to protect your baby's scalp from the sun as well. Everyone in your family will need to apply and reapply sunscreen once every 2 hours while at the beach, or any time they get wet or sweaty. Make sure that you bring plenty of sunscreen for everyone to do this! Bring along sunscreen that is easy to apply quickly, such as spray-on or stick sunscreen. Pack baby sunscreen for little ones between 6 months and 2 years. Keep in mind that babies under 6 months of age should not wear sunscreen and will need to be kept in the shade and covered up for the day instead. While wearing sunscreen should protect your family from getting sunburns at the beach, they will still need somewhere to escape from the heat throughout the day. Bring along at least 1 large beach umbrella to provide shade for your family. You may also want to bring a popup tent to provide additional shade for your family. The best part of a beach day is all the different ways your family can play together! Make sure that you bring items that your family will want to use during their time at the beach. Some great options include: Boogie boards Sand toys for building a sandcastle, such as buckets and shovels Frisbee or a ball A deck of cards or a travel board game Family-friendly novels that you can read out loud

Article: Put on socks that will both push the leather outwards and protect your feet from any rubbing or pinching, preventing the formation of blisters. Keep the shoes on long enough that they begin to mold to your feet, but not so long that they cause pain or injury. Walk around and stretch your feet while your wear them. Do this whenever you have free time to change shoes and walk around, at least two to three times per day. To find the time to switch between your comfy shoes and the Dr. Martens you're breaking in, wear your new boots either before or after work, or during your lunch break at the office. Slowly expand the amount of time you keep your shoes on your feet, paying close attention to how your feet feel. Don't push through the pain! Because this is a slower and more time-consuming method, plan ahead. If you want to show off your new Dr. Martens at a particular event, begin this process about a month before that date. Bend the back of the shoe inwards to make the heel area more spacious, then push the toe to and away from the laces. You can also bend the leather in and out on the instep (or the middle, by the laces) of the shoe. This may cause creasing in the leather. To avoid noticeable or permanent creases, be sure your leather is properly conditioned before you use your hands to stretch it. Dr. Martens has its own product, Wonder Balsam, for this purpose. Periodically conditioning your boots will also aid in the overall break-in process. Soft and supple leather is much easier to stretch than stiff leather. Stuff your shoes with newspapers or a shoe tree to make sure they don't shrink back down when you're not wearing them. If you use newspaper, be sure to fully stuff the shoe. Once you can comfortably wear your Dr. Martens for an hour, they should be fully broken in. Test the fit on a walk or excursion that allows you to come home and change shoes if necessary. If you're worried, bring an extra pair of reliable shoes along with you.

Start with thick socks. Wear the shoes for 10 minutes. Increase your shoe-wearing time in 10-minute increments. Manually stretch the leather. Keep the shoes stretched even when they're off your feet. Take your boots on an outing.
Article: This way, there will be no risk of the mouse finding its way back. If you were to release the mouse in your yard or front lawn, it could easily sneak back in your house again. Once you have successfully trapped the mouse (or it has fallen into your bucket trap), you need to move it outside of your home. As a courtesy to your neighbors, you should also avoid releasing the mouse near another house or residential center. Unfortunately, mice that were born indoors or have become used to living in a house are poorly suited to live in the outdoors. Mice that are trapped and released outside may not live long in nature.

Take the mouse several miles away from your own home. Release the mouse outdoors. Understand that the mouse's life may still be at risk.
