As many of you know, I love to travel, and most of the time I bring McKenna along with me. Ninety-nine percent of the time I travel by air, because let’s face it, traveling with a child in a car for more than an hour can become a nightmare, unless they end up sleeping the entire time. With all that being said, I have mastered the art of traveling with McKenna, and a lot of it has to do with how often we travel. McKenna took her first flight at three months old and currently she has flown over 50 times. Traveling by airplane was more convenient for us because we live five minutes from the airport, but it was also easy on our budget because McKenna was able to fly for free as a lap child. Now that she has just turned two, I have to pay for an individual seat for her and paying for two flights versus one is not good for my bank account. Knowing ahead of time how much we had traveled and planned to travel, I knew I had to figure out a way to still be able to fly without doubling the costs to do so. Lucky for me, I found a solution, called Southwest Airlines Companion Pass. Read more
After I got these new Stuart Weitzman boots (cheaper option here) I have been looking for any excuse to wear them. They are very comfortable so I can wear them while running errands or for a night out on the town. I found the perfect outfit from Gray Monroe to pair them with to take my look from day to night.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I would be doing following up about The Baby Gear Show. Last weekend McKenna and I attended The Baby Gear Show, which is an event series, which was founded by Bump Club & Beyond. I had a great time, McKenna, was not so entertained (see pics below). Don’t worry, once she got a balloon her pouty face turned into a big smile. The event took place at Nordstrom Galleria Dallas and Jamie Grayson, TheBabyGuyNYC, hosted it. The show was before regular store hours in the baby section of Nordstrom. We were served a light breakfast, then we took our seats around what looked like the exact set up of a fashion show runway, but instead of models in clothing, Jamie presented baby gear like he was Vanna White. Once the show started Jamie walked us through several products from diaper bags to strollers and pretty much everything in between. Since he covered so much I have decided to pick a few of my favorite things, some of which are very new to the market. Read more
