After a long year and a half at home – and what felt like an even longer Winter, we were looking forward to getting away together as a family as soon as it felt safe enough to travel. Our South Carolina family vacation ended up being just the thing we needed to ease back into traveling. Since I’m writing this… Read More
I know this post is so long overdue – about a year to be exact, but I can’t write this blog without including what to pack in your hospital bag for labor and delivery.

If you really want to know how to take a car trip with an infant, my best advice is don’t do it!
