Coast to Coast with Lyn & Leigh

Getting ready to to head out of town with the girls, and in my preparation craziness, I almost forgot to pack the lolipops! If you have a toddler or small child(ren), it’s a good idea to have something they will suck on for the airplane’s descent. Their ears can be so sensitive, and I’d rather have my child happily sucking away on a lolly than screaming (especially these organic, gluten free lovelies from Yummy Earth). I always bring a few extra to pass out to other parents who might be in need. Also, my girls are finally at the age to wear the regular airplane seatbelt, but if your child is in that ‘middle phase’ where they are too big for the car seat (and their feet kick the seat in front of you), but too wiggly for the lap belt, ask around your friends to borrow one of those harness straps that are made for airplanes.

So… shoes that come off easily for security, a backpack for me, charged dvd player and favorite videos (with one new one), Color Wonder pens with fresh books, bag o’Lolipops (see below), and of course leaving a clean house (something I learned from Mom) - we’re off to Cali (although those of us from California never really called it that).
