Essentials For Traveling With Kids + Giveaway

Traveling with kids isn’t always fun as we hoped it would be. In fact, it’s always stressful. I remember a colleague saying “Going on a vacation with kids is NEVER relaxing.” which I found to be true. You would always question yourself why in the world did you ever plan a trip for the whole family; I know I always do. However, no matter how stressed out I get when traveling with my kids, I would gladly do it again; because I honestly think it’s a great time to spend quality time with my family.

My daughter had always been dependent on me with her sleep ever since she was a baby. We’ve had to deal with a lot of bedtime struggles since her birth. I’ve had to rock her to sleep for the longest time, pat her back to sleep, and hug her to help her fall asleep. She needs me close to her to feel comfortable and secure falling asleep. Currently, all I have to do is lie beside her until she falls asleep. There are nights that I’d fall asleep with her; but most nights, I have to get up as soon…

And that’s when I realized I totally forgot my gift for him at work. I had it delivered at work while I was out last week and decided…
