The bags are just about packed and everything's all set to go. The housesitter is moving in tomorrow right after we leave. We're flying into Columbus, Ohio then driving to Chicago for my cousin's wedding and then to Kentucky to visit my brother in law and sister in law. Then back to Ohio to fly back home. Road trip, baby!
Normally I don't pack snacks for flights or really many toys because it's only a couple hours. Plus no matter how fabulous the snack is that I would bring, nothing beats the slightly crushed slightly stale snacks they have on the airplane that my kids absolutely love. It doesn't matter what it is, the fact that it's from an airplane makes it way better than anything I would have brought. Plus if you're a little kid, they'll give you as much as you want. Be aware that this doesn't work nearly as well for adults.
This time though because of all the driving, we are definitely bringing more for the kids. They're very excited about it. Did I mention that we have to drive with them from Ohio to Chicago? Hmm...perhaps I need some special snacks in my bag as well like a couple bars of chocolate and perhaps a few Valium to munch on during the trip.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
