Once you become a parent you accrue a lot of stuff, a LOT of stuff. Packing to go on a trip no longer means throwing a toothbrush and some clothes in a bag for a spontaneous weekend getaway. You can’t do spontaneous with toddlers, not without a travel packing checklist to ensure you don’t forget to bring any essential items. So whether it is a day trip or a two-week vacation, use this helpful guide and checklist to make sure you have everything your toddler will need.
With nice weather finally arriving I can’t wait to grill out more. The Greek kabobs (see Sunday’s meal) reminded me how wonderful it is to grill out and eat in your backyard. Food just tastes better outside, if the weather is nice. I hope you find some new recipes to try out in this weekly meal plan.
Our daughter’s birthday happened right when COVID-19 starting affecting our lives. For a number of days, my husband and I wavered over whether to throw the party or not. When we understood that a stay-at-home order was going to be placed soon it was an easy decision to cancel. We were still able to give our daughter a special day by having her Lion King birthday party just without any of the guests. I think she had a great time!
