 Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. Today I'm doing a travel necessities video because Cash and I are getting ready to go on a three hour road trip up to Prescott. We are meeting a few of my very close friends up there. A bunch of my friends here on YouTube, my teacher tubers. Okay, I'm gonna try to name them off real quick without forgetting anybody, so I have. Okay, so we have Jennifer from Genuine Teaching, Darren from Darren Nakaki Hara, Jess from Hello Third Grade, Shelly from Early Adventure, Marie from the caffeinated classroom, Kate, the sleepy teacher, and then me of course. So we're doing a meetup in Prescott, Arizona this weekend. Well, it's not this weekend, it's Sunday through Tuesday. And so we all thought it would be fun to film our travel necessities. So I'm gonna show you guys real quick what I bring with me on a road trip. You guys, so super big travel essentials in the car for me since I am the one driving. A few things that I use to keep me safe. The first thing is this phone clip and it just attaches to my windshield and then I just put my phone there and it keeps me from touching it. We do have a new law in Arizona where we are hands free now. So I keep my phone either here or here on the dash plugged in using Apple Play on my new car, my new Toyota RAV4. It's a 2019 and it's absolutely beautiful. You guys in here, I just love it. So I've got my diaper bag here. I'm gonna have it open though when I start driving so that I can hand things back to cash and in a few months he'll be turned around so that will be a lot easier. And then I have my purse in here. This is a Daisy Rose bag from Amazon that I will link down below in the description. And if I was the passenger that iPad would come in super handy, I also have my tripod for my camera. All right, you guys. So another travel essential for a road trip, obviously I have a toddler. So I'm gonna have an extra bag that I carry with me. This is my Skip Hop diaper bag right now. It is empty. And these are all the things that I keep in the diaper bag for my almost two year old. So first thing, obviously we have some snacks. These are the veggie. There's a little nub of a granola bar in there. These are the veggie straws. I get them from Costco. He loves them. It's like way better than potato chips. We have that. Then I have two pouches. The everything that I pack snack wise is just something I can hand back to him and I know he's not gonna like get it everywhere. So I have two pouches. These are the plum organics. I always get the Mighty Four or the Mighty Veggie because they come with more than just like a puree of something. Like this one comes with Greek yogurt and spinach and banana. And this one comes with spinach and grape and apples. So they come with different things. Then I have an applesauce. This is just from Trader Joe's. And then a blueberry cereal bar. He loves these. Again, something I can just hand back to him and he's not gonna get everywhere. Then I have a little thing of Annie's bunny grams and Annie's cheddar squares. So those are all the snacks that I will carry in my DB. Then I have some wet one wipes. These are just for like if we go to a restaurant or something and his hands are all over something specific that's kind of dirty or like a grocery cart or something. I always keep these handy just you never know. And then boogie wipes. These are great for wiping noses if there's boogers, if they're running noses or just if his face gets really dirty because they can't, they come with a saline. So they wipe his face really well. I don't just scrub. So I keep those in there. Then I'm keeping a pacifier in here. We call this a Pippi in our house. We are trying to wean him off of pacifiers but he is teething and getting his molars, his two year old molars. So when we're in the car, if he decides he wants to scream at me and he's thrown the other two that I give him before we leave, I keep an extra in the diaper bag so I can just throw it back there if I'm losing my mind. Then I always keep this little pouch with me and all that's in here is like some Motrin, some teething tablets and then Cache's medical card is in there. So if there were to be an emergency and then one thing I'm gonna add if there's ever an emergency, I can just kind of grab that. Sometimes I'll put essential oils in here which I'm gonna do now. This is the Kiss It Better blend. I call it the Boo Boo Blend and I just put this on his jawline when he's teething and this is Coppaiba, I don't even know how to say that, lavender and thieves, no, frankincense and then some coconut oil. So I'll put that in there because I know he's gonna be teething. Then I keep this wet bag in the diaper bag and it just has a change of clothes in here. There's just like a onesie and a pair of pants and then on the inside it is a wet bag. So if you were to have an accident or something, I can put the wet clothes in here and then put the dry ones on him. This goes with me everywhere I go. I've only ever had to use it once, so thank goodness. Then this is my diaper setup. So this is just a skip hop diaper thing. I like this because if I go somewhere and I need to change him, I don't have to cart the whole diaper bag with me. I just kind of get this out and this goes with me. So inside I have diapers. These are honest brands. And then I have a diaper bomb. And then my wipes are in here. Then this rolls out into a changing pad, which is super nice. You can also unzip this and just take this with you or just take this with you. So super convenient, super nice. I just love this for when I'm traveling because it's just so easy. And then the last thing that I'm gonna take with me is the iPad. So this is my old iPad mini. And I just put it on a, that's a funny background. I just put it on, I'm watching elementary in the mitten right now. I just put it on in this case and it's cool it has this little handle. And Cash doesn't play with this very often because I really want him to not be a tablet zombie. I have nothing against parents that put their kids on tablets at all. But you guys, for traveling in the car for three hours, he is going to play on this tablet. He can hold it himself. He knows what Netflix is. He knows what YouTube is. He knows what all of these apps do. And he just puts on a movie and watches the movie. And then when the movie's over, he hands it to me and I put on the next movie. So it works really well. I only use this for car rides and restaurants. And then obviously, like if we're visiting somewhere and there's nothing for him to do, then we'll plop him on it. But he's not an iPad zombie, I promise. But to each his own, each parent has their own way of doing things I just personally enjoy using the tablet. Then the last thing I always bring with me are these Armin Hammer diaper bags. And these are for like if you're at someone's house and you have a poopy diaper, you throw it in their trash, you don't want the trash to smell. Since I'm staying at Jennifer's house, I'm gonna bring this with me because I don't wanna stink up a trash. All right, so Cash and I are packed up in the car. I am getting out of here and put the camera down. We're gonna go to Starbucks because that is my very first thing on the list as a necessity. So I'm here at Starbucks and I decided I'm gonna just go ahead and do a mobile order on my phone and then take Cash inside. I'm gonna go to the bathroom because I realized I didn't go to the bathroom before we're leaving. And he's already thrown a few things. I'm just gonna like resituate him. But I'm just gonna order a Trenta. I hear you, a Trenta vanilla iced coffee. And then I'm gonna run inside, go to the bathroom and hopefully my drink will be ready by then. So we're gonna get this party started. I'm also gonna show you guys this seat cover that I purchased from Amazon. It spreads across the whole back seat and like the whole back of the seat and the bottom of the seat. I think it's made for pets but it's been a lifesaver with Cash because he likes to throw things over the side of his car seat. And he also likes to put his feet and like stamp and stomp and whatever over there. So I'm gonna show that to you guys real quick. Okay, so this is the seat cover. It goes all the way across and it's all the way across the bottom and it wraps around so that this one can't make a mess. You ready to go inside? Yeah, okay. I think we need to wipe down his seat. All right you guys, so I have my Trenta iced coffee. I got a chorizo sandwich and we're ready to go. We've got about a three hour drive. So another thing I have to have when traveling is my Spotify app. I love listening to Spotify. I just shuffled through my favorite artists while I'm driving and listened to my favorite songs. And you know, the radio just doesn't work in every single part of the drive. So I need something to listen to my music, jam out, do a little bit of car karaoke, something to keep my mind off of the road. So we're gonna get on this track and get started. Cash is watching Despicable Me 3. I'm getting ready to pump some jams and just drive. So I will see you guys when I get there. My mom's house, I'm gonna end this little video here. Hope you guys enjoyed and I hope you have safe travels this summer. See ya.
