After a total of 28 hours of driving we made it to Colorado last night. The kids did absolutely wonderful and were just so excited about the simplest of things. We ran into some snow while driving and they just thought that was the greatest thing in the world. We also saw Santa Claus who […]
Well, as I am writing this we are currently in Alabama, on our way to our first stop Arkansas. We left at around 5 am this morning and I’m already feeling a wee bit sleepy. So far the trip is going really well and everyone is on their best behavior. Let’s see…only 8 more hours […]
What’s the number one travel “toy” that helps keep parents and kids sane on a long road trip? You got it….the portable dvd player. We bought our first one about 6 years ago. This tv was a monster - not the tv screen, it was tiny, but the unit itself was a beast. It was […]
Here’s another toy that is great for traveling. I mentioned the LeapFrog Leapster the other day because I was considering buying it for my 3 year old to use on our trip to Colorado.
This next toy is the Doodle Pro Basic Color and it’s a toy he already has and loves. The Doodle Pro is […]
Since my family and I are traveling to Colorado for Christmas this year (we live in Georgia…you do the math, ugh!), I am on the look out for travel toys to keep my three kids nice and busy. We are looking at two 17 to 20 hour days in the car. Yes, we are nuts, […]
All three of my kids are perfectionist. (I don’t know where they get it from.) When it comes to art though, my boys are the most particular.
My 3 year old will get so frustrated when he draws outside of the lines. Side note: me reminding him that he is only three and he colors very […]
One of my favorite finds this spring was the Water Wow! line of “coloring books” from Giddy Up. Including Backyardigans, Hello Kitty, Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street themed Water Wow! Doodle Books, these little books provide a clean, stain-free experience for your kids.
I didn’t actually purchase them for the car, but rather […]
KB Toys has released their top picks for travel toys this season. With the hope of a road trip or two for the summer, I’m looking for any help that we can get to keep the kids entertained (and not fighting) in the car. I did notice the absence of books in the […]
How I could have almost forgotten to mention this, I’m not quite sure. Thanks to Weary Parent for reminding me!
Each of my kids has specific things they like to sleep with. For my oldest, it’s her bunny blanket and her “first baby doll” that she’s had forever. Being a five year old, […]
Our third travel toy is the Slinky. My two year old found one in the car bag that my friend packed for him. He LOVES it! He actually has one in the car when we just drive around town, as well. He has one of the plastic ones, so he enjoys […]
