More travel tips!

Woohoo we made it back from Disney World. It was a wonderful 7 days of Mickey. I have to say if you have never taken a Disney trip it's a must.

We had so much fun. I am still trying to fix my camera on my computer. As soon as I get it working I will post a video about cloth diapers.

Here are my latest tips

*Pack 3 diapers, changing pad, wipes and change of clothes in a large ziplock. When you are at the airport grab the baggie out of your diaper bag. It's nice not having to bring the entire diaper bag with you into the bathroom. This works really well on the airplane too.

*Bring new snacks on the plane. Bring things that your child has not eaten before. Most of the time they go crazy over it because it's new. It keeps them busy.

*If you did not buy a seat for your child under 2 take your car seat with you to the gate. When you get there ask them if there are any seats available. If there are they will normally give you the seat free of charge.

*Keep your little one in his/her car seat. I treat the plane just like the car. They come out for a diaper change but that's it. It makes the trip much easier. Of course if you have a long flight taking them out to stretch would be a must.

*Use the hotel coffee maker. Not for coffee though. I brought easy macaroni and instant oatmeal with us. For breakfast I would run just water through the coffee pot. The warm water worked great for making oatmeal. I would also make macaroni and bring it with us to the parks.

*Stay relaxed. If you are nervous or anxious your child will pick up on it.

Here are my lifesavers when I travel

Do you have any tips? If so add them to the list.

Traveling made easy!


As I get ready for yet another trip I feel the need to share some helpful tips/products. The last time I traveled with the boys these products came in so handy.

You can make a Moby wrap with 5 yards of fabric from your local fabric store. I will post those instructions later next week.


I ditch my diaper bag and packed up the good old reliable JanSport Backpack. It made walking through the airport so much easier. I also packed  a couple diapers, disposable changing pad, wipes, and an extra outfit in a large Ziploc bag. This made diaper changes an easy task while on an airplane.

Sophie has a leash!


Many of you mommies in suburbia may know about the wonderful Sophie the Giraffe. She looks like a glorified dog toy. Kids love her and us mommies adore her. She is a wonderful toy that keeps our kiddos happy. I found a product on www.etsy.com that EVERYONE who owns a Sophie needs. Check out the etsy store here

She has great colors to pick from and ships very quickly. Here is a picture of ours. We love this product.

NO Sophie? No problem. This product works for almost every toy you can imagine. No more lost toys for us...or you either.
