As the mother of a two-year old who does not like to sit still, when we're in a restaurant, every 5 minutes counts.
So here's what's in my restaurant survival bag, for my "Restaurant Impossible" Mission!
I'm Connie and I'm passionate about discovering new products that make my life easier.
I keep this bag in the car with me all the time so its always
in my car. I never forget it, and the toys are always fresh.
Table topper placemats, you may or may not have seen these
You get a clean surface wherever you go by putting these out.
For a fun twist, Elle introduced me to these
activity table toppers that gives them an extra thing to do
These are also great for containing the mess
Remember, the more mess, the more tip you have to leave
That's another dollar Nathan!
Magnet Boards. These are great
They're called Create-A-Scene, and your kid can use their imagination
to create whatever scene they want.
If you like magnets, here's a book I got.
I personally like magnets better than stickers because they have less potential for destroying things.
Vehicles!
Nathan loves cars and these also double as legos!
Little knick knacks. You can get these at a dollar store, party discount store
They're cheap but they're new
In fact, Presley just got Nathan a bag of these...
... all for under five bucks!
Elle: That's awesome! Connie: SO cute!
Mini-Board Books I love these because they're portable and very durable
And a little bead maze. Nathan is starting to really get into the big version of these, so
I bought a little one and he really loves it!
And if all else fails...
... I break out my iPhone...
But my one tip is to make sure to have videos downloaded to your phone because
you don't want to trust cell phone reception in moments of distress.
And there you have it!
That's what's in my restaurant survival bag
