soccer mom tips#1

As a newbie outdoor "soccer mom" it didn't take me long to realized that I am in over my head and totally unprepared.
Seriously.
These women have snacks.
I didn't know I needed to bring a snack.
There was nothing written in any of my correspondence referencing snack.
Totally mastered indoor soccer but am floundering with outdoor soccer.
You don't have to deal with weather, or bugs when you are sitting in a heated gym happily sipping on a vanilla bean latte watching your child running laps in a smell elementary school gym.
So, I am compilation a rookie's  "tips to outdoor soccer"  from all the new found information that I have gleaned from other moms. 
This list will be added to weekly so don't get too excited.
You won't find all of them in one shot.

• bring a chair & snuggly blanket.  Just because it was +25 before practice doesn't mean it is going to be toasty warm out at the field.
• bug spray {yep, you should have seen the mosquito they were the size of bumble bees}
•  snack....or your kid will be the only one watching the rest of them nibble away.
• scope out where the game is going to be BEFORE the game so your not late.

And this is just the beginning of the season.
I wonder what I will learn on Thursday!!
