Restaurants With Kids

Even if you’re headed to a kid friendly restaurant, you”l want these items in your bag of tricks so you and whomever you’re with can enjoy a meal out!

Last night I went to catch up with an old friend! Long story short, we were friends before I had kids AND she invited them to come along with us to the restaurant so she could meet them. So incredibly sweet of her but also triggered my mom anxiety. Just the thought of my two kids at a nice restaurant while we tried to catch up on the last five years was giving me the sweats! So I headed to Barnes and Noble to grab a few items to bring along with us to the restaurant.

Obviously you can put your child in front of an Ipad and they’ll be very happy! But I’m going to be honest, my kids get enough screen time at home when I’m working on deadlines or cooking dinner. So bringing along this little bag a tricks is very helpful.
