Tips for traveling with a toddler
Two generic answers and one on a deeper level- 

1. Pack light & all carryons should be rolling or backpacks
2. Get their energy out in the airport
3. THE most important tip: Tap into your most patient, loving & understanding self. They are little beings with big feelings. Let go of expectations & ego. Good vibes only, or           there's no shame in not bringing them! You know your kid best.                                      

Bonus tip: don't bring toddlers to the city!

Countryside wardrobe essentials
Long skirts, a straw hat & a claw clip or headband bc you’re an air dry cottage girl!
