It’s that wonderful time of year again for spring sports. My guy plays lacrosse (or LAX) and we are excited at the opportunity to get outside and have some fun. We are getting geared up for a busy weekend with 4 games in 2 different cities so I’ve got to be organized. One of the most important things I try to have ready for my player is lots of water and healthy snacks.
