FIRST FAMILY TRIP!

Talk about stress for mom..well in my situation that's how I felt. In my head all I could think of is "what if",and "maybe this could happen". So a little of over packing and a little of over thinking went into this first trip. LOL

In my mind I was worrying about:

1. Food

2. Toys

3. Sun

4. First Flight

5. Diapers

6. Stroller

All these things literally brought me stress acne before a beach vacation. Talk about worse timing ever. LOL

As moms it's ok to worry and think of the "what ifs" its just how our beautiful minds work. But we also have to remind ourselves just for our mental health purposes, that everything is going to be ok, and we are doing an amazing job as moms. If not we will miss out in the little things worrying about the things that not have yet happened.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT HELPED ME!

AMAZON, AMAZON, AMAZON LADIES LOL

I order everything ahead of time and had it delivered to the hotel. If you are traveling in US it just makes everything so easy. Just call the hotel ahead of time and let know and they'll have it in your hotel room when you check in. ITS GREAT!

My worries broke down and what I got from amazon.

1. Food: In my situation I make my babies food everyday. So here are two options that helped me .

-Have your hotel bring up a refrigerator and a microwave.

- I had order a small food processor so I could buy fresh fruit to puree it for my baby.

-Microwave is for in case you need to soften the fruit a little before pureeing it.

WHAT I LEARNED:

Im on vacation there is no need to stress over my babies food as there are great alternates for him to join for the next 5 days while we are on vacation.

With that being said my baby loved these Gerber pouches and they were so easy to grab and go. Specially made it easy to fit inside my purse!!

2. Toys:

-Beach toys are a most!

3. Sun:

- Sun protection is sooo important and one thing that worried me so much.

This item helped so much and he absolutely loved being in there

- GREAT SUN SCREEN!! Being out in the sun for 6 days and coming home with zero sun burned or irritation..BIG WIN for me. My method of application was with my hands while I sang to him and it went on great. Nothing fancy!

-THE CUTEST HATS EVER!

4. Plane Ride:

- I think every parent stresses over this and we really shouldn't. I learned that as parents we need to be more understanding that this is their first flight. If we give off great energy our babies will be in the same mood.

Definitely having toys does help hahaha

-https://amzn.to/3EhXgrh (Window spinners, AMAZING)

-My next item is unusual but definitely held his attention the longest.

- https://amzn.to/47U0PBC (I use it in the car as well to keep him entertained.)

AND MOMMA'S YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR BABIES LOVE TO PLAY WITH, SO GO WITH YOUR GUT FEELING!

-As a precaution I wanted to bring my baby juice and some homemade food for the plane ride. He absolutely had some on the plane ride, best part on the front side they show the oz so it was easy to measure and follow TSA rules.

5. Honest diapers:

-https://amzn.to/44wHTpC (love these!!!)

6. Stroller:

I didn't want to buy a new stroller just for traveling, so instead I bought this bag to protect my stroller I have now. BEST DECISION EVER!

All of these things are great but my husband is MVP lol he reminded me to just "go with the flow" and IT'S TRUE. There is no point in stressing on a family vacation

Overall mommas take a deep BREATHE, and YOU GOT THIS!!

Enjoy your family vacations because time is moving so fast you dont want to miss out on all the sweet moments and memories!
