February 2021

Hey everyone! So I have an upcoming road trip and I’m honestly nervous about it. This will be the longest I’ve ever driven. The kids and I plan on going to Florida for a few days for their spring break. I have already picked out a place to stay I just have to pick out a car. Before everything started happening in the world we would try to go somewhere at least once a year.

Here are Road Trip Essentials you need when you take your next road trip.

You can save the pic below by holding down the image and saving it to your phone or computer. =D Happy Packing!

I’m super excited but also nervous because my 4 year old has never been in a car longer than 2 hours. I put together a list of things I am definitely going to take. Normally we would fly to our destination because its just faster, this time around I feel safer driving. It will be just us in the car. I also choose to go to a beach place because I feel like it will be easier to social distance there. I will also be documenting our trip here on my blog and on our family Youtube channel so stay tuned for that.

Here is the list:

Trip Documents
Cell Phone
Chargers for electronics
Camera
Kleenex
Books
Music
Headphones
Sunscreen
Comfy clothes
First aid kit
GPS
Laptop
Snacks
Water bottles
Travel blankets
Gum
Cash, credit cards, and debit cards
Medications
Bug spray
Umbrella
Hand sanitizer
Masks
Trash bags
Neck pillows
Hand wipes

What are some things you take with you when you travel? Do you have any upcoming road trips?

It’s that time of year again everyone! Only this year things are much different. Man how time flies ,it seem like just yesterday we were out on a date night just last year. As you can see I worded the title differently.

Here are Valentine’s Day Ideas During the pandemic. These are just a few ideas for those looking to spend time with their loved one without being out in public.

Massage

I will never turn down a massage because it’s so relaxing. It would be really nice if you could give each other a massage after a nice bubble bath together. Sounds nice doesn’t it?

Watch A Movie

Amazon has so many movies available to rent, starting at $3.99. If you don’t want to rent Netflix or Hulu always has great titles to check out.

Plan Your Next Trip

Whether it be a staycation, travel in the U.S. or international travel, you can sit together and plan your next trip together. Where would you like to go? What would you like to see? What cultures would you like to experience when you are able to again? It’s so exciting to talk about travel.

Order From Your Favorite Restaurant

Many places are offering specials for Valentine’s day. Drunken Fish which is one St. Louis’s sushi restaurants, is offering a huge meal deal for 2. It will include it a 5 course special that will also include a bottle of wine. I can’t wait to take advantage of it. All I have to do is pick it up and enjoy it at home. So check with your fave spots.

Cook A Nice Meal

If your don’t even want to leave the house, you can have everything delivered to you, and you can make it yourself. I have been taking advantage of this every chance I get. For our anniversary that’s just what I did. I had the kids go to there rooms and we enjoyed a nice candlelit dinner just the two of us.

Have a Game Night

Babe and I are huge gamers so it’s always nice when we can enjoy some co op gaming together. If you are not into video games, board games are really fun too!

Paint Together

Painting is a good stress reliever and it is so relaxing. You can spice it up and paint each other like in Titanic LOL

Have a Virtual Double Date Night

This can be fun to do with another couple. There are so many things to do. You can play games together, chit chat, there are so many options.

What are your plans for Valentines Day? Will you use any tips from above?
