Landing your first blog or influencer gig can be so overwhelming and super hard to keep up with all the different places you can go to get featured, sponsored, or even to do collaborations. Below you’ll find the best resources if you’re looking for a collaboration on your blog or on your social media. (This is a great resource if you’re looking to write a blog post and want to review items.) My best advice is if you’re looking to collab with larger brands if you already own the item post it to your social media as an organic post.

I decided to bring the Dock A-TOT along for the ride because I didn’t know how Dean would sleep in the pack n play, I also wanted to have another place other than the Pack N Play to put him down. (22 diapers, 2 packs of wipes, 4 pieces of clothing for Dean, 1 Nursing bra, 2 pairs of leggings (for me) 2 shirts (for me just in case), 5 baby toys, 2 swaddle blankets, paci, 15 nursing pads, snacks for Nolan and Heath, important document folder (all birth certificates, vaccines, ss cards, visa pictures, basically everything super important) reusable water bottle. Dual Voltage Sound Machine– OMG, this is so important if you had a baby that sleeps with a sound machine (or if you have kids sleeping with you in a hotel room!) and trust me when I say it’s not easy finding a dual voltage sound machine either. I ended up packing about 2 weeks of summer clothing and 2 weeks of fall clothing because we were traveling to Tennessee in the summer (80’s) and leaving Monterey in the (60’s) and then coming to Lithuania (80’s somedays and 60’s other days!)

The Adventure Science Museum in Nashville, Tennessee is a must-do when traveling to Nashville with children. The Adventure Science Museum has 18 different exhibits, I didn’t take pictures of every exhibit because I wanted to spend time with the boys. My boys really loved the BodyQuest Exhibit we spent a TON of time in this exhibit. After finally getting them out of BodyQuest I was able to bring that to the Solar system.

#1 was buying about 20 of these IKEA storage bags from IKEA and packing all our sheets, blankets, soft toys, pillows, clothes, jackets anything that would fold up and fit in a bag I put it in one of these bags! One thing that I knew we needed in our new home was plastic storage bins, our new house has a TON of storage! Nolan and Heath this time around were a walk in the park and I got them both in ONE BAG, and I packed myself in ONE BAG too! These bags were perfect to put paci, paci clips, diaper rash cream, travel shampoo, baby toys, nail clippers, baby brush, etc If you have a baby, kids, or just yourself
