Travel Tips

(i.e. tidbits gathered while traveling with a pre-schooler and a two-month-old!)

• Brand-name diapers really do hold more than generic store brands! (I'm more thankful than ever for coupons and diaper deals on the name brands!)
• Baby wipes left in the car freeze (becoming a solid block!) when the temperatures drop to the teens.
• Canned goods can become slushy at low temperatures.
• Laundry detergent also becomes slushy at low temperatures.
• Denim travels well – and is a huge blessing especially when you've downsized from a Suburban to a Toyota Camry, have a baby in diapers, and have to keep tabs on laundry!
• McD's makes a good latte – and currently includes a coupon for a free Fruit & Maple Oatmeal on the cup!
• Fixed tables in restaurant booths aren't conducive to comfortable nursing.
• Babies "R" Us lives up to its name – by providing a Mother's Room!
• Sleep deprivation and patience with pre-school immaturity seem to be inversely proportional.
• God is good – all the time! His grace is amazing – and sufficient for every situation!
