Last year, traveling all around the world we packed on and packed off his large bulky 5-harness car seat for each flight. On one of our first flights with our first child, I had purchased a car seat cart from a company who shall remain nameless {I am team britax car seat cart all the way} and we had literally just walked out of the airport in Hawaii and the wheel broke off! ! … with my 2 year old in the car seat on the cart! And worth every penny, noise cancelling headphones, tablets, car seat carts, car seats that recline.

I said that I don’t like that when I think I’m making some headway with my Instagram, that I look and there is someone that is even bigger, brighter and better than me. What is really real-life real and where do we draw the line? There will always be someone showing off their beautifully white, shiny and clean kitchen, but that doesn’t mean that they’re life is better or that their marriage is stronger or that their 3-year-old doesn’t pull things off the shelves of the refrigerator on a daily basis.

November shows up and all of a sudden the coziness of fall starts to fade, the leaves have all fallen from the tree and that temp starts to dip into “please don’t make me get out of this bed” unpleasant lows. This sale is the perfect reminder that it’s time to get a great deal on some cute sandals for the kiddos and hit the beach. Now November is not normally the time of year that has anyone seriously thinking about sandals and swimsuits, but thanks to this black Friday sale there is no reason not to. Have fun – Sale starts on Monday, November 20th at 10am and goes through Monday, November 27th –

I was an emergency dispatcher for 6 years so I can tell you how important volume control is for headphones for me, but especially for my little guys. If it’s loud when they don’t have the headphones plugged in, I can’t imagine what they are turning it up to when the headphones are on. When I saw buddyphones on Instagram I was super excited for the volume control feature specifically, but then also learned about the added bonus of a splitter option for sharing and that they are even “3-year-old proof” {bend away Hayes, bend away} Seriously how amazing to not have the mom-worry of volume control all the time or being constantly stressed out that the next temper tantrum will mean a broken set of headphones { For those of you that fly enough with your kids in tow to be thinking “well volume control at home or in the car is great, but what about all of the loud noises on an airplane?
