Road Trippin w/ a Little
We just attempted our first family road trip and we’re contemplating another, so I’d thought I’d share some useful tips here:
1. First things first – Pump adaptor! Kept me comfortable and the babe fed.
2. A/C is typically on full blast (especially here in FL) so a comfy long leg but short sleeve jumper is perfect to keep the little in. I even gave Hudson a thin blanket to cuddle with.
3. Toys – think outside the box. He loved his rattles and crinkle books, but an un-opened bag of gummy bears was far more entertaining and for more than just 10 mins. Oh, water bottles are great! Ok, books too.
4. Pit stops – to stretch everyone’s legs (unless the babe is sleeping). But we usually stopped for a snack/bathroom/gas when he was awake. We took him out of his seat for a bit – changed his diaper etc. He loved the chaos at Chik-fil-a 🙂
5. Cold teethers are always a favorite. Toss a couple in a cooler.
6. Dr. Brown Bottles – they help eliminate air bubbles, since burping in a carseat is pretty difficult hard to do.
7. Be prepared. Set realistic expectations – If your babe hates the car seat then expect to hear about it. If your kid doesn’t nap, come to entertain.

Meet in the Middle
I’ve worn this tank top on date nights.
It’s totally my speed – casual, comfy and reveals just enough.
But to make it SFW I wore this crop tank over a high waist A-line skirt.
A perfect meet in the middle.
And a great way to go from work day to night out.
Happy weekend, all!
