Thank you Netflix for sponsoring today’s post about Road Trip Essentials. 


Are you hitting the road this Holiday season? Make sure you pack these road trip essentials to help the time pass quickly and more easily. We will be making a road trip to Florida after the first of the year, so I have already started preparing for what I need to bring with us.

Road Trip Essentials

Road Trip Essentials

  1. Tablets or phones for each kid, PLUS chargers!
  2. Headphones for each kid so they can listen to their own movies or tv shows.
  3. Netflix Downloads.
  4. Lots and lots of snacks and drinks.
  5. Blankets and pillows to make for a comfortable trip.
  6. First Aid Kit.
  7. Sunglasses.
  8. Quarters/Cash for tolls.
  9. Wet wipes, paper towels, toilet paper.
  10. Plastic bags for garbage.

Netflix now has a bunch of shows and movies you can download straight to your tablet. Check out the ‘Available for Download’ menu on the Netflix app on your mobile or tablet device. Browse through all of the titles available to take with you whenever and wherever you want. I have been browsing the collection and downloading their favorites onto their tablets and phones. We don’t have a DVD playing in our van, plus who wants to keep up with all the DVDs. That just takes up more room in the van that we don’t have.

This video from Netflix to the tune of Orange Is The New Black theme song is hilarious.

What do you pack for your road trips?

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.

Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red hair color in her hair so she could be Ariel 🧜‍♀️. The red from the front is already going away. Swipe to see her singing a song. Also, the last photo is of the banana bread I made yesterday. Check my reels for the recipe. So good.

Happy 4th Birthday Annelyn Jane. 

Also, side note. This balloon gave me so much trouble. The first one I bought got lost at her birthday party because a kid was running through the park and got his arm stuck on the string and away it flew. So I ordered another one to be delivered today and the package came sliced. So I had to put a bunch of tape on it and I still had to be quick with photos because it kept losing air. 🤦🏻‍♀️
