I'm Backkkkk

For a minute & the new Little Lou collection, because yes, your kids need jewelry too.

Hi Moms,

I’m back just because I feel like it, and there are a few things I think you need to know about.

My kids are still all tiny, and the two older ones have learned the phrase (probably from me) “I don’t care.” Meanwhile Benjamin has discovered “poopoo caca” and says it approximately every five minutes. It is not funny, Benjamin.

Anyways. Three kids, ALISON LOU, and falling asleep on a Saturday night at 7:15pm. I did that this weekend.

I thought about all of you when I finally went on vacation with all three kids. I was sitting there thinking: I wish I could tell every mom exactly what they need for this. Well, guess what. I can, and I damn will.

Getting through the airport

The MiaMily Carrier

I know I’ve said it before but I will keep saying it: this is the only way to get through an airport with small kids. I’ll be honest, the actual storage isn’t great. But we put all the kids’ stuff in there anyway. Snacks, whatever. It works.

For My baby, she is still in the Yoyo (or Butterfly, which I wish I had I just can’t buy another stroller) and we carry the Cosco car seat which is .5 lbs and it hangs off of our yoyo.

Snacks, learn from my mistake…

Snack Organizers

On this last trip I left all the snacks on my kitchen counter in a ziplock bag. All of them. On the counter. At home. Cut to…two perfect little girls on my flight with these little organizer cases and I ordered two the second we landed. They will go in the MiaMily. The kids will love them. Do not be me.

Screen time!!!

Amazon Fire Tablet

I got these instead of iPads. They felt easier and more kid-friendly, and honestly the price point made me less anxious about them getting destroyed. The best part: my kids only think tablets exist on planes.

For the under-2 traveler

Worst age. I’m just going to pray.

Yes, I can bring Poke-a-dot books and whatever else, but at the end of the day Rose wants to walk up and down the aisle until she either gets tired or gets me to carry her around the plane. There is no product for this. There is only endurance. If you have suggestions, my DMs are open and I am desperate.

Bath time…this doesn’t necessarily have to do with travel but they do have a travel size I brought…

These Bath Products

My sister got these for me and I am obsessed. She actually tested them in her eyes (which is insane, she is insane, I love her) and confirmed they’re genuinely tear-free. I trust her and her tearless eyes. That is my entire review. They work, she cried for science, get them. Here’s the travel kit.

Ok this one is mine. Hear me out.

Little Lou, The New Collection

Everything above is about keeping your(self) kid alive.

This one is about keeping them stylish, maybe even more important?

Little Lou is our new kids’ collection. It comes in silver and gold and it’s all the things your kids love, their favorite little symbols, in a tiny necklace version. You can engrave their initial on it, or not. They are so cute and I am genuinely obsessed with them. I designed them for Benjamin, Eve, and Rose.

Little Lou

Tiny necklaces for tiny humans. Silver and gold, engravable, and made to actually be worn, not saved. Shop Little Lou →

That’s everything. Comment and tell me your under-2 airplane survival strategy, And if you’ve traveled with three kids and lived to tell the tale, I want to hear it.
