We will be traveling to the Phoenix and Sedona areas this Fall with our 1 year old. Can anyone recommend things to do, places to stay and restaurants?
Answer
I have a one year old and we live in Phoenix so i hope you have a great visit!
Depending on when you are here in the fall, it'll still be pretty warm while in Phx so pack plenty of water. I always make several little ziplock bags of different snacks to mix it up with my son. Pretzels, crackers, goldfish, grapes, apple slices, etc. If you'll be driving, you may want to look into one of those cool seats that hold ice packs. They are amazing for keeping the carseat cool when you are out of the car.
Arizona has some great parks. I'm not sure if you'll be in Phoenix or surrounding areas, but there are so many families in AZ that parks are everywhere!! Our fav is Tumbleweed in Chandler-SE valley. If you are looking for indoor activities, consider museums like the Childrens Museum of Phx, The Arizona Science Center, Heard Museum, AZ Puppet Theatre, ChildsPlay, etc. I'd say the zoo, botanical gardens, hiking trails, schnepff farms, rawhide, or even the local lakes would be great for out of town visitors.
Have fun!!

Camp checklist, for toddler/teen mom?!?
xoWhitneyx
This summer my daughter and I are going to summer camp with our Teen Mom group!
I tend to be an over packer when it comes to traveling
but I want to make sure I get/bring everything I need!
We are going for 5 days, and staying in cabins. Please shout out anything you can think of that I might need but might forget.. sunscreen, bug spray, etc!
Answer
Most camps will provide you with a camp checklist of things to bring, but here's a list to get you started:
sleeping bags
pillows
bug spray
sunscreen
toothbrush/paste
soap (in ziploc bag to keep clean)
shampoo
deodorant
feminine products
comb/brush
towel/facecloth
hand sanitizer
rope/clothespins - to hang up wet towels/clothes
extra ziploc bags
trash bags (for dirty laundry or trash)
canteen or reusable water bottle with a strap
flashlight w/extra batteries
child's favorite stuffed animal/blanket
camera
backpack (for daytime use)
diapers/wipes if necessary
sunglasses
first aid kit
good bedtime story book to read to your child
clothing for each of you:
hat
7 T-shirts
7 pair of socks and underwear
5 pair of shorts
1 pair of jeans, khakis or sweatpants
2 swimsuits (so you always have 1 dry one)
sweatshirt or jacket
underwear/bras/socks
sneakers/flipflops
pajamas
raincoat or poncho (or buy cheap disposables in the camping dept at walmart)
other tips: place a day's worth of clothing in a large zip-lock bag for easy dressing in the morning, Also, if the weather is poor, your clothes will stay dry.
- label everything with your first initial and last name. Write on the tag inside your clothes with a sharpie pen or laundry marker.
Find out if the camp will have activities on hand for the kids to play with during down time, otherwise you should plan to bring some yourself (paper/crayons, blocks, etc)
