Planning a Beach Trip with a Baby

July 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

We just got back from a mini vacation in Cocoa Beach, FL. We had the BEST time, but it went by too fast! We only went from Wednesday to Saturday and we’ve already decided that next time we go back, it’ll definitely be for a full week. Traveling with a 10 month old can be difficult and we haven’t done so in 6 years so we felt like rookies all over again!

We rented the cutest little AirBNB (linked here). If you are looking for a short term rental in Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral, check this place out! It’s a 3-unit building so you can rent one unit or the whole place! It’s a block from the beach and close to allll the best restaurants!

My parents came with us which made the trip so much smoother – they’re a big help with the kids and they even gave Justin & I the chance to slip away and enjoy a meal together on Justin’s birthday. Friday night, we made a trip over to Medieval Times in Orlando. The seats were sticky and everything was ridiculously overpriced, but Jonah had a BLAST so that made it all worth it. All in all, the trip was a success.

Weeks prior to leaving, I made an “essentials” shopping list, steadily added more and more things to my Walmart.com cart, and then had it all delivered the day before we left. I’m so glad I did it this way, because it gave me time to really think about everything I needed without having to go inside Walmart (which is always a win!). It feels like anytime I go into Walmart or any grocery store for that matter, my mind goes blank and I never end up buying everything that I need.

My list of essentials for going on a beach vacation with a baby is:

•3 pack bottles
•Formula packets (these are genius)
•Neutrogena SPF 100 sunscreen
•swim diapers
•sun hat
•baby powder (for getting sand off)
•fold up beach blanket

We made sure to take an umbrella to the beach that she could nap under and it was a lifesaver! We took a pop up tent too but didn’t even need it since we had the umbrella. Having all of these essentials on hand made our trip so stress-free. I hope they help you on your next vacation!

We explored, hiked to a waterfall, toured a gold mine, and spent some much needed quality time with family! We had a great time, but I gotta admit, I am so happy to be home, curled up on my own couch 😂

Well, it’s official… I took a leap of faith an Well, it’s official… I took a leap of faith and quit my full-time job. It took a lot of thought & a lot of prayer, but God was holding my hand and guiding my way the entire time. Even if He had to pull & tug me some of the way 😩
.
Justin’s business keeps growing and so do our babies. It became very clear that it’s time to spend more time at home. In putting all my trust in God, He opened a door for me to continue my marketing & development work with a few local non-profits that are close to my heart, on my own schedule from home 🖤 Won’t He do it, y’all?!
.
Here’s to ending the year on a high note! I suspect LOTS of new DIY projects in my future 😍😍

When I worked on Jekyll, guests would always ask w When I worked on Jekyll, guests would always ask when the best time was to visit the island and I’d always say, “the third weekend in October”

Justin would say I just made that up, so to prove me right, I booked us a stay on the island this weekend.

Good food, perfect weather, and the best company ❤️🌊🌴 I think we’ll make this an annual tradition!

Perfect day for a trip to the zoo 🦁🐒🐨
I’m always in awe of the moms who have all the patience and can handle taking multiple children on an adventure without any meltdowns or pulling their hair out… I am not one of those moms. We had a fun day but I am hot and I am exhausted 🤪I hope you’re all enjoying this beautiful weekend!

I was sooo nervous to order a rug off the internet I was sooo nervous to order a rug off the internet. I was worried about the quality and the colors, and tbh, I’m still getting used to the colors… but it’s growing on me! It will definitely hide dirt WAY better than our old one so that’s a big win over here!! I feel like the dark colors make our living room feel way cozier. What do you think? Yay or nay?

These shelves were a Sunday afternoon DIY project These shelves were a Sunday afternoon DIY project that took all of 20 minutes to complete! Justin picked up the lumber from Lowe’s ($50). Gallery frame kits were 75% off at Hobby Lobby, making them $9.99 for 3 frames!! Walgreens had a 50% off photo sale last week so all in all, we had less than $100 in this whole setup 😍😍
