The New England Nonsense

Here we go again. 

Mom travel tip #1: fly during nap time. If you’re pregnant, they offer ginger ale you can sneak while they sleep. 

Boston, she’s coming for ya. Backpack and all!

Mom travel tip #2: have each kid bring their own special bag/backpack. And then make them wear it. Fill it with all their treasured toys so that they’re excited to haul it around. 

They were especially excited and WOULD NOT calm down. I forgot how much patience travel requires. 

Mom travel tip #3: for quick trips around the city, consider MiFold car seats for the big kids. They fit in your purse. Literally. $40 at Target. I’m also going to possibly look into buying an ImmiGo car seat for Amelia and Ella Mae since they’re both still in five point harnesses and I think that though Amelia fits the requirements of the MiFold, I’d prefer her to be in a five point if available. ImmiGo makes it a possibility but I just recently learned of them! The car seat is 10 pounds and fits into the bottom basket of most any stroller! $200 on their website. 



Alas! We’ve arrived! And only three blocks from the “Big Green Monster!”

Mom travel tip #4: a king suite with a pull out couch and closing doors is the ultimate score. Privacy and quiet for mom and dad, mayhem and cosleeping for the kiddies, all in one room.  

Mom travel tip #5: let them jump on the bed. Or the couch. Or the window seat. Or wherever they want. Just let them jump.  

Mom travel tip #6: BE PATIENT and eat chocolate. Lots of chocolate.
