Road Trip Essentials for Toddlers
Summertime is upon us, a great time for taking family road trips both near and far. Having small children along for the ride can sometimes make road tripping a little more difficult, to say the least. Can small children and road trip be used in the same sentence without us parents shuddering at the thought of them crying, yelling or saying those dreaded 4 words, “ARE WE THERE YET?!” Well, I’d sure like to think so. This summer we are taking the kids to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. 7 hours in the car with a very ‘vibrant’ toddler…y’all probably think I’m crazy. However, this isn’t our first road trip with…
Pepperoni Pizza
I have always been a pizza lover. I mean really who isn’t? A little over a year ago I stopped eating pizza altogether. (Other than my delicious taco pizza).

This way, I know exactly what ingredients are being used. I can also choose the amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings I want to add. Making pizza is super easy and the kiddos love helping add all the toppings! The pizza turned out perfect and tasted amazing. Check out the recipe below! INGREDIENTS pizza…

Carry-on Packing Tips
It’s vacation time again! Let’s pack our bags and head someplace tropical! Whenever I plan on traveling by airplane, I always pack everything in a carry-on suitcase. Most airlines give you 1 carry-on item and a personal item. A small suitcase that can be placed in the overhead bin and either a purse or backpack that can be stored under the seats in front of you. This usually ends up being plenty of space and I can skip checking luggage, which I usually dread anyways. Why you might ask? I tend to have horrible flight anxiety as is (bring on the Lavender oil!) On top of that, add in the…
