Welcome!
I’m a mother of 3 who has been teaching 3rd grade for 10 years. I’ve learned little tricks and tips that I’d love to share with you. So, I started Mrs. D’s Diary. This is my way to share my favorite lessons and motherhood hacks I’ve learned along the way. We’re all learning everyday, so let’s do it together!

Traveling with Toddlers
Graco 4Ever
This is our normal car seat and it fit great on a United flight forward facing for our 18 month old. We took it through the airport win a folding wagon.
Folding Wagon
We love this wagon for the beach, groceries, the airport and anywhere we need a quick stroll.
Headphones
The boys love that these headphones are wireless and we love that they have safe volume control.
Snack Cup
Keep snacking without spills using this silicone snack cup. Easy to clean & collapses for travel bags.
Touch & Feel Book
Keep littles engaged with this sweet touch & feel book. We love the furry & sticky pages!
Straw Cups
Weighted straw cups help early toddlers drink mess free with a soft straw.
Packing Organizer
Using a shoe organizer to pack 24+ kids outfits for a trip is the most wonderful must do travel packing hack! When you get to your destination, unpack your carry on suitcase and hang it right up!
Travel Tray
Help your little have more room to play activities, eat snacks or write with dry erase markers on this fun lap tray!
Spinners
These spinners can suction to anything from a glass door, a high chair tray or an airplane window. They get our babe laughing and playing in no time.
Pacifier
The big boys can chew gum during takeoff and landing, but we make sure to bring the babe’s favorite pacifier especially on flights.
Writing Tablet
Love a good writing tablet and so do the kids. Try it and I know you’ll be wanting to write and write again!
Color Wonder
Color Wonder packs are another great mess free thing to bring on trips, to restaurants and hotels.
Kids Camera
Can’t say enough about how much our boys loved these cameras! They take photos, selfies, videos and have games to play.

This is another great option for kids. It's cute and both cameras come with a USB adapter to load the photos to your computer.

We love love love this stroller! All terrain tires, folds flat, oversized canopies and easy to push. All 3 kids still climb in this family stroller! Worth. Every. Penny.

Our big kids love having their names on these suitcases and bringing them everywhere from flights to sleepovers at Nanny’s house.

Headphones that are perfect for toddlers or kids that have trouble keeping headphones or ear buds in. So cute and cozy for long trips!
Stroller Fan
Rechargeable & able to wrap the arms around any part of your stroller to make sure babe sleeps with a cool breeze.
Double Caddy
Stroller caddy fits a ton of stuff and has an insulated pouch for water bottles or milk bottles and snacks. Everything stays put right where you need it!
Poncho Towel
These are my big boys favorite for after the pool or beach. These towels keep them warm and let them change their bottoms after a swim!
