Baby Traveler....

AHHHHH!!! Look at my face!! It says it all...



Yes, thats me. I am going to Vegas and while I should be smiling from ear to ear like so...




I'm not. 
Why you might ask. 
Well because Im traveling with my two big ol' babies. 
My beautiful Maxwell, which I have to pack everything for. 
Right now, I'm going over my mental checklist and so far so good but I have to 
plan for the worst and the best. 
So pants/shorts, long sleeves/tanks, the whole shabam. 
And while Ive traveled with him before hes older now and 
gets irritated with his car seat so Im not to excited and 
I can definitely wait to hear the screaming to come. 

And now for my other baby, Justin. 
Omg, I swear there are times I want to leave him on the side of the road. 
But, at least this time we're joined by my mom and his brother 
so I will try my best to control myself when he throws a tantrum 
which I know he will with all this Vegas traffic these days. 

Anyway!

For you new mamas out there who havent traveled long distances yet with your munchkin here are a few tips. 

1. Make a check list and make sure to double check that you have everything on it. Before you leave the house (and I already know I'm gonna forget something)

2. Always pack more clothes than you think you might use. You'll end up using all of it. Trust me!

3. Take plenty of blankets, two maybe three because he/she will spit up all over one and you'll be stuck without another. 
4. Take a pillow! I tried resting my head on Max's carseat once and he kept kicking me so I was stuck sleeping against the door. Not cool!! 

5. SLEEP!! Dont drive!! Make dad do it. That's what he's there for.

So, there are my tips and feel free to add some more in the comments below. 
Safe Travels and happy driving/flying...

Makes me feel bit old when...

My niece tells my sister and I we're weird for singing this at the top of our lungs. 
ha ha, so inappropriate for a 9 year old. lol


::sigh:: and I remember the days when my sister, Crystal and Vanessa, MY bestie for 21 years, used to stand on top of our dresser in our best dresses and sang these songs in the dark with just a spot light. ah, the memories... 

I used to sing this song in my blue velvet dress with sparkles on the top.
Oh man, I can see myself standing up there all over again. 


Then this is the song that changed my world, I was obsessed after this...
I remember going to Vanessa's house and telling her and Laurie (god I wonder what happened to her??) about it. 
And little did I know I'd turn out to have the worse gaydar because the first love of my life was none other than Lance Bass, ha ha ha.

Ah, the memories.... lol 

Love,
