5 MUST HAVES FOR TRAVELING WITH A BABY

These are the essential items we always travel with!

BABY BREZZA REUSABLE POUCHES We follow BLW with our daughter and let her eat and explore the food by herself, but we definitely give her pouches and blended foods as well - I find the pureed food to be easy for traveling or when we are outside, as well as actually provide some nutrition for her since a lot of the solids that we give her end up on the floor as well. We mainly make our own pureed food following the fundamentals from Be Well By Kelly and these reusable pouches by Baby Brezza are the best! We make a big batch at times and store a few of these in the freezer. When we are ready to travel, I either take it out the night before and let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, or take it out the same day and let it defrost in room temperature, if I cannot bring a cooler with me. Bonus point - they are dishwasher safe!

KYTE BABY SLEEPING BAG

Can they make this for adults too? LOL. This sleeping bag is so soft and so warm! We have the 2.5 TOG sleeping bag which is especially important when we are traveling since I cannot control the temperature and, most places are usually colder than I would prefer it. This keeps my mind at peace.

ERGOBABY CARRIER

We mostly use the stroller to go to our walks, but the carrier is especially useful when we are traveling since we can carry her easily from the car to any places we go for short times. We have the Uppa Baby Vista V2 Stroller, and while we love it, it feels like a lot of work to put it together for short distances. Plus, we always have the carrier with us in case she starts complaining and doesn't want to stay in the stroller any longer.

TABLE CHAIR AND CHAIR TRAY

This table chair and tray are the best inventions ever. We have this set up at our pantry countertop along with the regular high chair, but always take it with us when traveling. It fits over most tables and countertops that have an overhang and it is pretty secured. The tray is so clever fitting over the chair - first, I do not have to worry about my daughter touching germs from other surfaces and second, I do not have to worry about ruining other people's tables. Food goes literally everywhere when we eat ... Plus, the tray serves as the plate too many times.

BABYBJORN TRAVELING CRIB

The BabyBjorn traveling crib is very convenient. It weights about 13lbs, so it is very light to carry, even if you are carrying the baby. It is incredibly easy to set it up and fold it back up and it comes with a mattress and a traveling case. The mesh around it makes it easy for supervision and the fabric is machine washable, which is super convenient. I set it up in the room as soon as we arrive at our destination and it is ready for nap time or bed time.

I update our essentials and must haves as our daughter is growing. I will definitely share more about the items my family finds useful for every day and when traveling.

5 SPRING TRENDY BAGS

Spring and summer trends are looking to be woven rattan and bamboo style bags.

I have been trying to find some new, trendy bags that I can carry around (instead of my everyday bags that are convenient, but not very fun) and these five have caught my eye! They would be perfect for taking them on a vacation as well!

Personally, I always go for bigger bags and the bigger the bag, the more things I carry and it becomes so heavy that I can't carry it any more. Lately, I have been trying to do the opposite (it is a work in progress) and look for smaller bags. These five bags are so cute and playful and the perfect size. They can be combined with so many outfits; spring and summer dresses, jeans, as well as swimsuits and coverups! I am loving the Chloe bag, but it is an investment bag. Cult Gaia is a brand I recently discovered and has some very cute options with a lower price point. The Cult Gaia Coco Mini Rattan bag is my personal favorite and I have styled it a couple of different ways over on my LTK Shop.

Which one is your favorite?

THE PERFECT NUDE LIP COMBO

I recently found out about this tip and this is my go to lip combo ever since. Use your brow pencil as the lip liner for the perfect match!! I like to use one that is a bit creamier, like the Sephora Shaper Pencil in color Nutmeg Brown. I apply a tinted lip balm to blend the pencil in. The Kosas LipFuel Lip Balm has an amazing pigment and beautiful color! They are my favorite at the moment. Final step in my routine is a gloss, like the SF Lip Butter in Warm Beige. The smell of this gloss is so good!
