Psst! Hey you--yeah, you! Come here..... Can I tell you a secret? I'm secretly terrified of taking my kids on a car ride as long as 5000 miles (literally!) because we almost don't make it to church in one piece on Sunday mornings and it's only 6 miles away! There's the whole "his leg is on my side of the car...." quickly followed by the "she won't quit doing the cup song" to the "he won't stop singing" right after the "quit looking at me!" complaints and quite frankly, I'm a little terrified about what it's going to look like a few hours in (especially since we don't usually get out of our neighborhood before the first "are we there yet?" happens.)
So what am I going to do about it?
I'm facing my fears head on with a big old Tupperware full of the very best trail mix you ever had!
This is likely going to be the key to our road trip success.
Kids are fussy? Trail mix!
Kids are tired? Trail mix!
Kids fighting? You guessed it! Trail mix!
I got trail mix and all my worries have melted away.... Not unlike the M&Ms that are nestled so cozily throughout the trail mix at regular intervals.
