Toddler Snacks

• Snacks for flight that I ordered and packed with me:
• Once Upon A Farm Smoothie Melts (organic & dairy-free) 
• Once Upon A Farm Tractor Wheels (organic & dairy-free) 
• Annie’s Crackers
• Sunnie's Gluten-Free Crackers
• Organic Apple Sauce Pouches 
• Snack Mates Mini Beef Sticks 
  • All of the above snacks I order from Thrive Market in my subscription because I can save soooo much money. (Save through our link!)
• Paleo Valley Beef & Venison Jerky (Get 50% OFF their beef sticks right now!!!)

When we were desperate for screens...

• Ipad:
• Frog & Toad Episodes (non stimulating show)
• Miss Rachel (educational lower stimulating show)
• My Very Hungry Caterpillar App  
• Kid's Smart Phone (link here)
  • I was this close to throwing this thing out the window because it’s instantly addicting for kids—but desperate times call for desperate measures. I brought it as a last resort, and honestly, it saved us on our short flight from Honolulu to Maui. Tatum was running on just one hour of sleep, and we needed her to be distracted!
