I know, I know you all have missed me. Well what can I say...I took the summer off.<br />
Though with 100 degree temperature in Los Angeles I feel like summer will linger for the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
In the last few months I have been busy starting my jewelry line. A "bespoke", shall we say, line of estate inspired creations. It is been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I loved trying on my grandmothers and mother's jewelry and learning the history of each piece. Pictures and more on that in a different post.<br />
<br />
Right now my focus is counting down the days until the <a href="http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/31588/Ruth_Peltason/index.aspx" target="_blank">Ruth Peltason</a> <span class="author notFaded" data-width="">book on <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/david-webb-the-quintessential-american-jeweler-ruth-peltason/1115092553?cm_mmc=googlepla-_-book_45up-_-q000000633-_-9781614281511&cm_mmca2=pla&ean=9781614281511&isbn=9781614281511&r=1" target="_blank">David Webb </a>comes out.
Peltason wrote about Elizabeth Taylor and Kate Spade. A true lover of jewels and Webb I can't wait for this almost 400 page picture book of Webb's creations.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="author notFaded" data-width=""><a href="http://www.davidwebb.com/" target="_blank">David Webb's </a>designs are some of the most highly collectible and expensive fine jewelry in the world. He was a talent that some compared to the most famous artists of our time. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="author notFaded" data-width=""><a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/creators/david-webb/" target="_blank">1stdibs</a> has a ton of his work for sale. It is so fun to see what is out there and has stood the test of time. You can browse his actual pieces at the flagship store in New York. The other boutique is in Los Angeles. Bergdorf's also has some selection, as do many high end antique markets and dealers. Even if not buying a piece it is worth looking at the detail and artistry involved. And if nothing else: order the book!</span><br />

A few things before this long weekend.<br />
<br />
I simply blog what I like. No advertisers, no money or products exchanged...<br />
So sometimes I don't write for awhile but I want to make sure I am making this blog (or maybe even like a <a href="http://www.goop.com/journal/see/226/goop-celebrates" target="_blank">GOOP</a>-ish journal post ) truly honest.<br />
<br />
So here ya go...<br />
<br />
SNACK/ENGERY BARS.<br />
<br />
While in Austin a few weeks ago I found these bars sitting at the counter of <a href="http://www.joscoffee.com/" target="_blank">Jo's coffee</a>.<br />
As my husband says to me often, "you are THAT person. The one the retailers dream about. That will buy the impulse item at checkout"<br />
<br />
Yes, that is me. But, only if I see the value in trying it. Or testing it out. I always want to find a good snack and energy bar. Mom on the go, almost 2 year old. Whatever I can eat while walking him to the park or driving my car to a playdate.<br />
<br />
I am so happy I purchased the <a href="http://www.beardedbros.com/" target="_blank">BEARDED BROTHERS</a> bars.<br />
<br />
Vegan, gluten free blah blah blah....but THEY TASTE GREAT!!<br />
<br />
They are brother in laws based in Austin who teamed up to create these all natural energy bars. They both are active in rock climbing and running and started making the bars for themselves. Realizing there was a good market in Austin, they started the company. Watch the video, read their site. It's pretty awesome how these two created a small business.<br />
<br />
I have tried the <a href="http://www.beardedbros.com/collections/all-products/products/mango-coconut" target="_blank">Colossal Coconut Mango</a> bar. Ate it all up. In a couple bites.<br />
Really fresh and perfect ingredients. <br />
<br />
Have a good weekend.<br />
<br />
Check out their site...order some bars.<br />
<br />
and more posts coming soon.<br />
<br />
Stick with me people!! <br />

<img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDpgQPOe5UjtyxfhAV3MjjJuLIB91Gxkh4aYtRu5hanGtmOjJSoT44wUevuZMI9-BgZzBM8NutjXSNvkQV2ee8gppZ34TjtYQ4kns4JTj2bZeMeC538df6FuKjBwNC_VQTazet-OjXyOXy/s400/5093.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br />
So it was that time again.<br />
Traveling with the tot.<br />
This time we have a walking, snacking machine.<br />
We went to Miami for the <a href="http://www.sobefest.com/" target="_blank">South Beach Food & Wine festival.</a> <br />
The festival put us up at the <a href="http://www.fontainebleau.com/web/recreation/fontainebleau_activities/fb_kids_adventures" target="_blank">Fountainbleau </a><br />
Being on the beach a plus. Being at hotel that is like Vegas...not my favorite thing. <br />
<br />
My notes: <br />
<br />
<u><b>CAR SEAT TRAVEL:</b></u><br />
If you can afford it DO IT. I won't get on my high horse on the safety issues.<br />
But a LAP CHILD at one and a half? Come on people.<br />
<br />
I am still mastering the whole travel with a big car seat situation but the <a href="http://www.brica.com/roll-n-go-car-seat-transporter/" target="_blank">Brica Roll n' Go</a> saved my life. You check your stroller (read below) and when you get out of your car or cab that you took to the airport you strap this roller onto the car seat. Done. Now you have a stroller car seat. Yes, they make an all in one (you may click <a href="http://www.lillygold.com/products/sit-n-stroll.html" target="_blank">here</a>...) but it's not that great. Trust me, I did the research already for you. <br />
<br />
The car seat I used for this trip....a <a href="http://www.target.com/p/britax-convertible-car-seat-marathon-classic/-/A-14069742" target="_blank">Britax Marathon Classic</a><br />
<b>Issue: </b>You can only really get it at Target for some reason. It's safe, light(ish) and most importantly EASY TO USE. <br />
<br />
<u><b>SNACKS:</b></u><br />
He ate the whole time.<br />
Say what you will about kids and snacking but a cross country flight means all rules are out.<br />
I brought a small little cooler bag and an ice pack.<br />
That way I could bring milk and some fresh fruit on the plane. <br />
I am SERIOUS about my snacks.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.horizondairy.com/products/milk-boxes/lowfat-plain-milk-box/" target="_blank">Horizon's milk boxes</a><br />
In LAX they did a full pat down of me at security.<br />
Due to the milk carton not being see through.<br />
In Miami I just put it through the scanner.<br />
Sonny drank it. So it was worth it.<br />
<br />
My other snacks: <br />
<a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=460105&catid=182625&aid=338666&aparam=goobase_filler" target="_blank">Plum Organics Food pouches</a> (he still loves them)<br />
<a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/23324338?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=23324338&sourceid=1500000000000007346530&adid=22222222227000000000&wl0={matchtype}&wl1={network}&wl2={ifmobile:m}&wl3=21486607510&wl4={aceid}&wl5=pla&veh=sem" target="_blank">Kashi Breakfast bars</a><br />
<a href="http://www.justtomatoes.com/jtstore/pc/Just-Fruit-Munchies-4p64.htm" target="_blank">Just Fruit or Whole Food or Trader Joes freeze dried fruit</a><br />
<a href="http://www.annies.com/products/Cheddar-Bunnies" target="_blank">Annie's Chedder Bunnies </a><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Late-July-Sandwich-Crackers-1-3-Ounce/dp/B000E176PW" target="_blank">Late July Peanut Butter sandwich crackers</a><br />
<br />
I love experimenting with snacks for him.<br />
<br />
<u><b>LUGGAGE:</b></u><br />
Checked (for FREE) the City Mini stroller.<br />
BUT I put it in the <a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7783929/color/104143?ef_id=UMY-@gAACpsIyKL6:20130302054554:s" target="_blank">City mini travel bag</a><br />
<br />
Wheels come off of <a href="http://www.cityministrollers.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CM1SND12&cvsfa=3427&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=434d31534e443132&gclid=CJCR5cfEu7QCFQhyQgodZQYAQQ" target="_blank">City Mini stroller</a> (so easy I promise) and everything fits into this bag.<br />
<b>Warning</b>: If you want to shove more stuff in the bag don't over pack. They will charge you for an extra bag if they check. A nice skycap told me this information.<br />
<br />
Sonny has a <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/63916?feat=904-GN1&page=adventure-rolling-duffle-large" target="_blank">LL BEAN roller duffle.</a> <br />
<br />
On the plane we take one bag for him and one for me. I go backpack. That way I am handsfree. I used my trustworthy <a href="http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/lightweight-travel-tote-bag?p=48807-0-303" target="_blank">Patagonia bag</a>. Though I would maybe go for a bigger backpack next time.<br />
<br />
The ipad was loaded with lots of app's and tv shows.<br />
He did not nap which was INSANE. Four hours to Miami and five and a half on the way home. That's right 5 1/2 Crazy. He was so distracted by all the passengers and overhead announcements. As soon as the plane hit the ground he fell alseep....and the car...to and from the airports. OF COURSE!!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Other quick tips I got from friends and internet research:</b></u><br />
<br />
-bring close pins to shut the heavy drapes/shades in the room.<br />
Totally worked and glad I had them.<br />
<br />
-blue painters tape to seal up the outlets. Obviously if your child is old enough to pull of the tape then this is not necessary.<br />
<br />
More questions email me...<br />
Hope everyone has a great weekend.<br />

Sorry for the delay in posting. The holiday plus multiple visitors plus child cold season has me not near the computer. But, I think this post will make up for it...I hope..<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://www.kelty.com/p-389-cargo-drum.aspx?category=backpacks" target="_blank">Kelty vintage cargo duffle bag </a>was supposed to be the husbands diaper bag. I have now been using it. Still love my <a href="http://www.sarahhendler.com/2012/04/top-photo-in-front-of-cherry-trees-in.html" target="_blank">Patagonia </a>tote but needed to change it up.<br />
<br />
The bag comes in three sizes. We own the smallest one. It packs up really nice with enough pockets to satisfy my crazy mom needs.<br />
<br />
I personally like the addition on a crossbody strap. Preferably one that can be taken off/unhooked if needed. Great for putting over the stroller. Just watch to not overload the bag. It could tip stroller if not locked in place.<br />
<br />
Trust me. Super mom here has had it happen many a times.<br />
<br />

Helen Johannesen is the reason I can stay sane. She is the Operations Manager of both <a href="http://www.animalrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Animal</a> and <a href="http://www.sonofagunrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Son of A Gun </a>restaurants. So basically she keeps my husband in check.<br />
THANK YOU THANK YOU HELEN!<br />
<br />
Helen is one of the most gracious and stylish people I know. Total East Coaster with that fancy preppy flare. I love it. Need I mention her other half <a href="https://twitter.com/ztf" target="_blank">Zach Frechette</a> who is the man behind the ever popular <a href="https://quarterly.co/about" target="_blank">Quarterly Co</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thechalkboardmag.com/helen-johannesen-animal-restaurant-home-tour#sl=20" target="_blank">The Chalkboard </a>has a home tour with Helen on their site today.<br />
Check out her wonderful new digs in Hollywood and what she fancies for a snack.<br />

<br />
My drives down third street in west hollywood have once again been useful<br />
I saw out of the corner of my eye a new store!! Then I get an email from <a href="http://www.dailycandy.com/los-angeles/article/138183/Chay-Boutique" target="_blank">Daily Candy </a>telling me that I should go check it out. Done.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.chayonline.com/" target="_blank">Chay</a> is the lifestyle store from the ultra cool Chay Wike. Mom of two little ladies, Chay knows that being a mom and looking good should go hand and hand.<br />
<br />
She has created a great store filled with great accessories by the likes of Kathleen <br />
Whitaker and shoes by the ever popular Beatrice Valenzuela.<br />
<br />
But really what stands out is Chay's own fashion line. All this washable silk!<br />
Jumpsuits and trench coats. Just lovely. I was also told there is some cashmere and leather items on the way. Her online store will be active after the New Year.<br />
<br />
So if you are en route to the Grove from the Eastside or heading to Larchmont Village from the Westside, stop in and enjoy this great new gem.<br />

A little late to post this since NYC seems like it was months ago...<br />
but this store has been on my mind.<br />
<br />
Literally three doors down from <a href="http://biggayicecream.com/" target="_blank">Big Gay Ice Cream</a> in the East Village is <a href="http://bystillhouse.com/index.html" target="_blank">STILL HOUSE.</a><br />
<br />
A perfectly curated homeware, jewelry and design store.<br />
Now one of my favorite and must hit up spots in New York. <br />
I picked up a <a href="http://www.julierofmanjewelry.com/" target="_blank">Julie Rothman</a> piece. LOVE.<br />
<br />
Sarah x <br />
<br />
PS...<a href="http://biggayicecream.com/" target="_blank">BIG GAY ICE CREAM</a> pop up truck in LA next week. Salty Pimp. Get it.<br />
Look at website for all info.<br />

<br />
Once again we were off.<br />
this time with our little man.<br />
<br />
Many flights in August and September<br />
2 of which were international<br />
all with a crawling and almost walking baby...<br />
<br />
Not looking for a medal or a monument but the husband and I rocked it. Full disclosure.<br />
We traveled internationally with my family. So we had some help keeping him entertained.<br />
<br />
I will start with the mantra EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT. So some of what my little Mister likes I am sure your little one may not.<br />
<br />
But, when traveling I say try it all!!! This post aims more towards kids that are over 6 months.<br />
<br />
SNACKS<br />
most people who know me well associate me with with snacks. I ALWAYS have them.<br />
(Like for me, not the kid) Having the baby has double the snacks. The plane ride was made a lot easier because of the list below. It is in no particular order. Some of the snacks I break apart into smaller pieces.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mummums.com/" target="_blank">Mum Mums</a><br />
<a href="http://www.thatsitfruit.com/" target="_blank">That's It Fruit Bars</a><br />
<a href="http://www.happybabyfood.com/ourproducts?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=17&category_id=6" target="_blank">Happy Baby Munchies</a><br />
<a href="http://www.plumorganics.com/products#second-blends" target="_blank">Plum Organic Packets</a><br />
<br />
Side note: international styling...In Denmark our guy ate what we ate. Finding things that he was accustomed to like yogurt and a banana were easy. But, eating the food specific to the country(Danish bread and butter were amazing!) made the trip fun! <br />
<br />
WHAT ELSE? <br />
I brought a gallon size ziplock bag with toys.<br />
<a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/green-sprouts-by-i-play-stacking-cup-set-38979?site=CA&utm_source=cse&utm_medium=cpc_D&utm_term=OE-320&utm_campaign=Google&CAWELAID=1338689519&utm_content=pla&cagpspn=pla&ci_kw=%7Bkeyword%7D" target="_blank">Stacking cups</a>, shakers, wood teether's. Small books. Of course on the plane he loved playing with the light button, headphones, blanket and everything else he could put in his mouth.<br />
<br />
He is going to walk soon and I normally don't put shoes on him. So these moccasin's are the BEST. <a href="http://www.diapers.com/buy?freetext=nowali%20mocassin" target="_blank">The Nowali Knit Moccasin</a><br />
<br />
<b>Other items I swear by:</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/baby-jogger-city-mini-single-green-gray-243477?site=CA&utm_source=cse&utm_medium=cpc_D&utm_term=OG-167&utm_campaign=Google&CAWELAID=1338753429&utm_content=pla&cagpspn=pla&ci_kw={keyword}" target="_blank">The City Mini stroller </a><br />
the easy PULL TO FOLD is key in all travel scenerios<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.diapers.com/html/sg/adin-and-anis.html" target="_blank">aden and anis swaddles</a><br />
I think Sonny will have these when he is 12. They can be a blanket, a cover for the stroller or wipe up any mess. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/lightweight-travel-tote-bag?p=48807-0-113" target="_blank">Patagonia Diaper bag </a><br />
Its not really marketed that way but I figured it would work. Converts into backpack plus tote and also folds super small into it's own pouch!<br />
<br />
So that is some of my travels tips...any specific questions leave a comment or email me.<br />
Stay tuned for more fun travel, food and fashion posts.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the weekend everyone! <br />

When I say I am addicted to something that means I literally need one everyday.<br />
These <a href="http://www.crackcaramel.com/index.html" target="_blank">Crack Caramels</a> which I found at the fabulous<a href="https://www.heathceramics.com/" target="_blank"> HEATH</a> store are insane.<br />
<br />
Some of the best I have EVER had anywhere!<br />
<br />
Made with lots of butter and cream these caramels are melt in your mouth delicious.<br />
The lollipops are a little harder and last a little longer..but not by much.<br />
<br />
So get them and eat them right away. Seriously, that is what they say to do.<br />

Made it back from my weekend in Napa with the husband. No little man. First time leaving him. It was hard but honestly so fun. Of course I came back to a slap in the face reality check: little man has a nasty cold. And hello I am home. Mom style.</div>

OUT OF CONTROL GOOD!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://eatmbpost.com/">MB POST</a> in Manhattan Beach has me hooked. If you are in the area go get some.<br />
<br />
I had never been to the restaurant but read wonderful reviews about their delicious food. I recently got to attend a charity dinner there for <a href="http://www.commonthreads.org/">Common Threads</a>. A great organization teaching kids the importance of eating healthy and cultural diversity.<br />
<br />
I can't stop thinking about these biscuits and the maple butter.<br />
Delivery service? In my dreams. <br />

One of my favorite gifts to give a new mama is from <a href="http://www.underthenile.com/underthenile/categorybyAge-121.htm">UNDER THE NILE.</a><br />
You may have seen the brand at Whole Foods. <br />
The <a href="http://www.underthenile.com/underthenile/itemDetailBR107.htm">veggie crate</a> and the<a href="http://www.underthenile.com/underthenile/itemDetailBR339.htm"> fruit basket </a>are the best. <br />
My little man was lucky to receive all these fruits and vegetables when he was born.<br />Now in full on teething mode, Sonny is enjoying every bite.<br />
<br />
If you loose a fruit or veggie you can buy it individually.<br />
Mom's/Dad's out there you know this is amazing. Umm the "stoller drop". <br />
You get back to the house and realize that they tossed the toy out and you missed it!<br />
Looking back down the streets and someone has already moved it or taken it.<br />
Ahhhh they are sneaky those little babies!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a great summer.<br />
More posts soon.<br />

My dear friend <a href="http://www.fathomaway.com/author/crystal-meers/">Crystal Meers </a>was featured recently on Jeana Sohn blog series,<br />
<a href="http://closetvisit.com/">"Closet Visit"</a>. You know that friend you have that after you leave them you go buy something they talked about or were wearing? That's Crystal!!!!<br />
<br />
The closet visits showcase interesting and fashionable ladies in Los Angeles. Crystal fits into that category perfectly. As she says about her own personal fashion it's a mix of "New England and French new wave". It also helps that her fiance (himself a dope man of style) is a famous costume designer. So the two of them are always rocking something killer. <br />
<br />
The photos above are two of my favorite from the shoot. The one with the chunky cable knit sweater and bangles (including the beautiful Hermes) is "very Crystal".<br />
<br />
A super talented writer and overall cool person. <br />
<br />
Even though she is always super busy!!!!<br />
<br />
Love the series...and glad Jeana showcased this lady. <br />

I am serious. My little man is LOVING this teething toy.<br />
He still has no teeth but man he is learning how to brush them!<br />
Stroller rides just got a lot more fun.<br />
<br />
A must for any little one in the teething zone.<br />
Going for a visit to your BFF's house who has a 6 month old?<br />
Bring this and you will soon become their favorite Auntie.<br />

One of my favorite actresses on the television screen. Loved her from the ER days.<br />
Dr. Ross (G. Clooney) and nurse Hathaway? Come on. Best Ever.<br />
<br />
Currently she is gracing us with <a href="http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_good_wife">THE GOOD WIFE </a>. If you have not watched the show, you should. Some of the best writing and acting on network TV.<br />
<br />
Sooo I was thrilled to see her in Face Time on the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/t-magazine/index.html">NY TIMES BLOG and MAGAZINE</a>. This little column is one of the best. Make up artist <a href="http://www.tinaturnbow.com/">Tina Turnbow</a> interviews actresses (and sometimes other people with interesting professions) on their personal makeup and skincare routine. It is short and to the point which I love. <br />
<br />
Hope you catch up on the Good Wife....but man I wish I could find some old ER episodes.<br />
Hulu??<br />
Enjoy the weekend<br />

These products made by <a href="http://www.zolibaby.com/index.php">Zo-li </a>are super cool.<br />
They have all sorts of bottles, teethers and accessories. <br />
All are BPA & Phthalate free. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.zolibaby.com/products/feeding/orange-bot">The cups</a> are great for a little one who is introducing juice and water into their daily routine. A flexible pop up straw. No sippy cup here.<br />
<br />
Itchy gums? Baby putting EVERYTHING into their mouth?<br />
<a href="http://www.zolibaby.com/products/teethers/gummy-stick">Zo-li's teethers</a> look like tooth brushes and that's the point! They help establish early dental hygiene. They also have an anti-choke barrier that prevents over-insertion.<br />
<br />
Of course my child likes the other side with no barrier!! I don't really leave him alone with it because I never know which side he is going to be munching on! <br />
<br />
Have a great weekend everyone. Can't believe next week is Memorial Day. We will be traveling back east to a wedding. A travel post after the holiday weekend on Washington D.C and Virginia.<br />

Stopped by <a href="http://inheritanceshop.blogspot.com/">Inheritance</a> (you know my love for this <a href="http://www.sarahhendler.com/2010/04/chinathe-fine-kind.html">store</a>. It's seems that I always write about their china collections!) and saw this <a href="http://shop.inheritanceshop.com/Reichenbach_c14.htm">beautiful china </a>hanging on the wall.<br />
Also tea cups and creamers sitting pretty on the shelves.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shop.inheritanceshop.com/Reichenbach-blueflouplatter.htm">Reichenbach china Blu Flou pattern. </a><br />
<br />
Just gorgeous.<br />
<br />
Summer veggies piled on one of these pieces would look great. <br />
A wonderful gift for someone who likes to have dinner parties and serve food "family style".<br />

So I am a sucker for products. Trying new things though strict on "routine". <br />
<br />
Must have a good moisturizer. <br />
<br />
I read about <a href="http://josiemarancosmetics.com/shop/body/organic-argan-oil">Argan oil and Jose Maran's beauty line</a> so I decided to try it out.<br />
<br />
Argan Oil is an all natural product. It comes from the Argan tree in Morocco.<br />
Rich in Vitamin E, it is well known across the world to help condition skin both with anti- aging and healing properties.<br />
<br />
So why not give it a shot right? I have been using it for a week. Liking it. Have to get over the rubbing oil on your face thing (I love<a href="http://www.sarahhendler.com/2010/05/red-alert-shu-uemura-leaving-usa.html"> Shu Uemura Oil Cleanser</a> but you wash that off!) ....but skin is looking good. The oil has no fragrance which I LOVE. Just a couple drops will do. Also been putting on my elbows. Can't handle rough elbows.<br />
<br />
I totally respect what Jose Maran is doing with her beauty products. Marketing the Argan oil like crazy. It is in almost all of her products. So we know she believes in it.<br />
<br />
Will keep you posted....<br />

<br />
<br />
Had to go to Staples for the typical home office supplies.<br />
<br />
Saw the<a href="http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Martha-Stewart-Home-Office-with-Avery"> Martha Stewart collection with Avery.</a><br />
What?<br />
<br />
Looking through all the fun organizational sticky notes and binders<br />
I decided on some <a href="http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Martha-Stewart-Home-Office-with-Avery/Labels-Tags-%26-Bands/Kitchen-Labels/MSLO-Kitchen-Labels-Classic-Removable-Preprinted-Red-and-Blue-borders-1_.75inx2_.5in-4up-6sh_72426.htm?N=4294963065&Ns=Average%20rating%7C1&refchannel=373138a45d6f3310VgnVCM100000a1210c0aRCRD">kitchen labels</a>.<br />
My mom brain mixed with fresh homemade baby food means I sometimes forget how many days it's been in the fridge....<br />
<br />
So these have come in handy plus look great on top of our <a href="http://www.heathceramics.com/cook-dine/set-weck-25l-mold-set-of-4.html">Weck jars</a>.<br />
<br />
Martha once again bringing her OCD to the masses.<br />

<br />
Traveling with a baby is fun...and what I mean by fun is,<br />
"HOLY SH-T you have to bring a ton of crap!"<br />
Now some might say travel light...but I am of the people that say:"better safe than sorry".<br />
<br />
Car ride...different than.... plane ride.<br />
<br />
Car ride...can entail more stuff because you have no restrictions except space.<br />
I was not going camping or traveling to the middle of no where...so I knew if we NEEDED it we could find it. <br />
<br />
As I realized quickly, if you can rent an apartment or score a washer/dryer....do it.<br />
So worth it with a wee little one.<br />
<br />
Not going to write the whole list of what we brought..<br />
If ya really want some more specifics on clothes, food, products feel free to email me.<br />
