On the road again...
Traveling with kids can be quite the chore. Fortunately, my two children - ages 11 & 9 - are quite pleasant to deal with when it comes to long flights or boring road trips. I DO have a "bag of tricks" that I make sure we pack when traveling long distances. It goes without fail that ONE of the kids will have a meltdown at some point, but at least we're prepared and can easily distract and divert unwanted & unpleasant attitudes while on the road...again.
You wouldn't go on a long car trip without your cell phone charger, right? Well, what about your kids and their Ninento DS console? Making sure it has a full charge before you hit the road is one thing, but making sure it doesn't die while on the road?! Thank goodness they make a car charger for it. This car charger has saved my sanity more than once.
Pillow pets...more specifically, the mini version. We own four Pillow Pets: two regular size & two mini. The mini version are the perfect travel size. They are a great alternative to a pillow especially when traveling by air. They don't take up much space and serve two purposes: something to hug & something to rest your head on.
