I just received these super cute toddler bibs from SugarChicBaby! They are nice and thick for soaking up all of my son’s messes and very nice quality! Definitely better than anything you can buy at the store! I am very impressed!
SugarChicBaby can be found on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SugarChicBaby?ref=search_shop_redirect
California Baby is a great product in general! They use sustainable and biodegradable ingredients and recyclable packaging for their products and are converting all aspects of business and manufacturing processes to earth-first, zero waste, solar power and recyclable systems. One of my favorite parts about these bubbles is that it comes with a bubble wand which makes the bubble bath experience even more fun for my son and well, his parents too! ;)
We recently traveled to Arizona as a family and this checklist, from Babycenter was super helpful! Thought I should share!

Remember all the stuff you carried around when your child was an infant? Double or triple that load. Now you’re approaching the amount of toys, snacks, clothes, and gear you’ll need to keep your toddler comfortable and entertained.
Here’s a checklist of things you’ll need on the road, plus tips for easy, efficient packing.
| Diapers Bring extras in case of emergencies or delays |
|
| Wipes | |
| Pad to put under your toddler during diaper changes You can buy disposable changing pads at supermarkets or reusable ones at baby stores |
|
| Blanket(s) Bring a few for comfort, shade, and warmth |
|
| Plastic bags Carry a variety of sizes for storing soiled diapers, clothes, and shoes |
|
| Small bottles of disinfecting hand gel and toiletries | |
| Tissues | |
| Toys and books Your child’s favorites, plus several new toys for surprises along the way. Bring sturdy toys that don’t have easy-to-lose parts |
|
| Your child’s lovey | |
| Clothes, socks, and shoes One to two outfits per day is a good guideline. Denim and dark colors are good for hiding dirt and stains. Prepare for weather changes by dressing in layers. |
|
| Bathing suit Lightweight and easy to pack, and you never know when it will come in handy |
|
| Washable bibs | |
| Sun hat and sunscreen | |
| Sippy cups, canteens, or bottles Encourage your toddler to drink plenty of liquids to avoid dehydration, especially when flying |
|
| Lightweight plastic feeding set with utensils | |
| Portable highchair to use at your destination | |
| Snack food Don’t forget high-energy snacks for yourself, too! |
|
| Nightlight (If your toddler uses one) |
|
| First-aid kit Pain reliever and supplies for treating minor injuries |
|
| Laundry soap For handwashing soiled clothes en route |
|
| Socket protectors For childproofing rooms at your destination |
|
| Portable crib or play yard Unless your toddler sleeps with you, or you’ve arranged for a crib at your destination |
|
| Car seat for travel by car or plane | |
| Collapsible stroller Can usually be gate-checked or stored in the overhead bin of an airplane |
Just bought these super cute crayons for my son’s Easter basket from Ivy Lane Designs on Etsy! They will be easy for him to hold onto!
I used a map to wrap my girlfriends baby shower gift and put a heart right by Australia cause that’s where daddy is from. Maps as gift wrap are super fun!
I found this great list of items to hide in Easter eggs or put in Easter baskets that are not candy! I will definitely be putting a few of these things in my 14 month old sons Easter basket this year. I hope you find it as useful as I did!
