Tips for Family Weekend Fun

Summer is the best of times for families... now every week, enjoy inside tips for making the most of your weekend from Anisa Raoof, publisher and founder of KidoInfo, the parents guide for Rhode Island and beyond.

Kido TIp 1. Bring baby powder to the beach.

Baby powder (talc-free or corn starch) wicks away sand off skin like magic making diaper changes a breeze and kids grit-free! We always keep a container in the car and the beach bag.

Kido Tip 2. Date night out.

Parents deserve some time away from the kids and to reconnect as a couple, but paying for a sitter and dinner is often prohibitive. This week's Restaurant Week offers dinner and lunch deals at more than 90 local restaurants. Check the Web site for a list of participating restaurants and book the baby-sitter!

Kido Tip 3. Take a nature hike this Sunday.

Join Rhode Island Families in Nature (RIFN) from 10-11AM this Sunday at Sachuest Point, Wildlife Refuge in Middletown, Rhode Island. RIFN was started by Jeanine Silversmith for families who want to spend more time outdoors, explore Rhode Island’s natural places, and reconnect with nature. Each month Jeanine picks a different spot in Rhode Island for a free guided family-friendly hike.
