Naptime Blog

So even though its only a 5 hour drive to visit my in-laws it is still going to be a mini road trip packed with little activities and snacks to keep Shaughn busy during the time. I’m hoping that maybe we can time it along with his nap so that the drive will be less “boring” to him. I don’t want him to get restless or cranky from being in his car seat for so long. Is there some type of “rule” about how long a child can be in their car seat for a road trip? Maybe we will stop for a few minutes to have him walk around. No, he is still not walking on his own, but he is more interested in walking as long as he is holding our hands which is better than before .

Everyone is so excited to see Shaughn and I know he will be just as happy to see all of them. I show him pictures of his family up there to keep him reminded of their faces and tell him their names. Where my husband’s family lives is a very different town than where we live now, its nice and quiet and is a good break from the business down here. It also gives you the chance to appreciate the stars because there’s barely any street lights so it will be a nice getaway for all of us. Hope the holidays are great for everyone!

With all the many choices of toilet paper brands, some being extremely
cheap and rough, to the extreme soft, I have to say that the Walgreens
brand toilet paper is my favorite. Not only do I buy the 6 double
rolls because of the great price of $2.99 but its very comfortable and
lasts a good amount of time. I’ve tried the different brands out
there, including the 99 cent rolls when  I’m low on money and in a
hurry to just get something to hold us over and those are terrible.
They’re so rough and uncomfortable. Not only do I use the toilet paper
for obvious bathroom purposes, but I also have terrible allergies so I
use it to blow my nose and softness definitely matters for that!
 I see the huge packs of toilet paper, including the ones that are
sold at the “buy in bulk” stores, and while those are good deals and
end up saving you money in the long run, that’s a decent little chunk
to throw down for them. I’m very satisfied with my Walgreens toilet
paper
