Kimchi Quesadillas

We’re about to go on our first vacations as a family of 3.

And what should be an exciting time has suddenly left me panic stricken.

I was really doing fine about it. Excited, all that. Then it hit me tonight during Lou’s bath.

What will I bathe her in on the road?!?! Do we trust the cleanliness of hotel tubs? Like can I in good conscience put my baby’s bare bottom in a tub where strangers’ dirty feet have walked??? My skin is CRAWLING. This then led me to – what do I need to pack for her? What do I pack her things IN? Do babies need their own luggage sets? This has just really opened up a lot of unknowns for me.

Not to mention our first family vacation is to a winery. What are we even thinking?!?!?!
