In our last blog, we talked about Basic Needs…
Here’s our family basic needs:
- Food and drinks, eating/drinking equipments and tools:
- Food – Logan is 16 months, so he’s fine eating whatever we eat. But we need to bring his eating tools
- Utensils – fork and spoon (multiple sets! we have lost ours before when he threw it on the floor and we forgot about it)
- Plastic bowls for cereal (we are terrified he would break porcelain bowls at the Airbnb)
- Plastic plate that we travel around with in our diaper bag
- Bibs!
- Travel high chair (which we are renting)
- Drinks
- Water bottles
- Sippy cups
- Milk (buying this when we get there)
- Water (buying more when we are there)
- Snacks:
- Applesauce pouches
- Cookies/biscuits
- Pretzels
