I have to say that I admire you for driving all of those hours solo with your baby. I can’t even drive an hour away because my anxiety kicks in just thinking about it. But, you have inspired me to do it with my kids. I don’t want to regret it in the winter. I love summer and sunny days so, I’m looking forward to be brave and have fun memories with my little ones ❤

I’m a single mom with a 3yr old son. I start off doing short road trips first to kinda get used to it. I went from 3-6hrs to now I’m doing 16hrs road trip but I’ll do 8hrs drive and stop at a hotel to rest and continue the journey. You definitely can do it☺️

Let me know if your road trips go well! You can do it!

Good for you for taking the road trip alone with Alice!! She is just the sweetest toddler!

My kids are too big for strollers and wagons but I actually bought this stroller wagon after they were out of the stroller era last year because it is amazing to use as just a general wagon after kids! Great for hauling a large library book stack or carting around a large cooler at the zoo, or dragging supplies to an event you are hosting, etc. I much prefer a push style stroller versus a regular pull wagon. For the price, it's a real steal and it will last you many functional uses beyond kids.

I just found out I’m pregnant with baby 2, and I think you’ve convinced me to get that baby trend wagon

congrats!!!

Omgosh. Loved this vlog. Always wanted to visit Dollywood. Our grandson just turned a year old in March. We purchased him a Wonderfold Deluxe Wagon in September and it was the best purchase that we ever made. They’re are an investment but worth every penny, especially if you travel and are out and about a lot, they have two removable seats opposite each other. It has a removable canopy storage pockets and so much space. And I never thought I would be excited about wheels . It actually holds up to four children 2 on each side of the wagon and since we only have one, you can remove the other seat but we just found out that our daughter is expecting baby number two in December.

The wonderfold seems great! I just don't think it would fit in my prius, and it was almost quadruple the price 😬

You did so well on that trip 👏 great job I have 2 kids boy and girl now adults I am a somebody but my son was very active I found it so much easier if we went outside and met with pple at the park etc They were happier and that made me happier and less stressed. In school breaks I would do one day out one day in alternating worked well

Wow! Your so brave and a super mom I can't even drive 15 mints with my 1 year old he will scream his lungs out! Alice did so good 👏

Loved this so much. You’re a wonderful mom and thank you for being so inspirational.

Thank you so much!!

Damn 4h30 each way!!! I haaate long drives. My parents IL live 2h away and I'm the worst at going there because I never want to do that drive 😂 That park you went to had such Disney world vibes!

Alice is the cutest baby!!!!!!❤

In regards to the podcast recommendations, I definitely suggest Good Inside with Dr. Becky! It's not necessarily crunchy, but it's all about trusting your kids to know what's best for their bodies and letting them lead the way. It's incredible!

ooooo i haven't heard of that one!

I just started watching, but regarding the baby changing tables - some places are removing them because people are putting hypodermic needles in them. I work for a company that owns Convenience Stores, and we’ve also found them in the ceiling tiles in our bathrooms.

I think you would enjoy Simple Farmhouse Life. She talks a lot about being a mom and an entrepreneur. She also has a KZread channel - Farmhouse on Boone.

i LOVE farmhouse on boone! I watch her videos, listen to her podcast, and make so many of her sourdough recipes. She is like my all time favorite influencer.

I did NOT know you can just order a burger patty!!! I am just out here wasting bread with my toddler. Good to know haha.

Yes! Alice also loves the grilled chicken nuggest from chick fila, but those are more expensive than just a burger patty from a fast food restaurant.

When my oldest was Alice’s age, I had a newborn too and figuring out how to potty with kids (and I didn’t have any body carriers) was a wild time

3:41 my family also saves coupons for restaurants! We tend to save Subway and Burger King the most but sometimes also save Chinese food coupons, Popeyes, and Jersey Mikes. I don’t know how we get signed up for it but for years we get coupons in the mail
