Making the best of a road trip with Little Passports Travel Tips

Making the best of a road trip with Little Passports Travel Tips

“Are we there yet?” was a term coined by the family road trip! While new technology and toys may have silenced backseat conversations, spending time together in the car can still be a great opportunity for family bonding and learning. Even if you plan on bringing the latest gadget to pass the time, try saving them for the end of your trip when everyone is tired and cranky! 

Here are some ideas from Little Passports that are sure to make the time fly by (or at least go by a little faster):

Save your most recent Little Passports delivery from Sam and Sofia for your road trip so your kids to learn and explore during the car ride. 

Say goodbye to your trusted GPS! Bring back the memory of car trips as a kid and use a map! The night before your trip bring out an actual map (if you can find one!) to show your intended route to your child. Even better, copy the map and pull out a highlighter so your child can follow along – and let you know when you missed a turn.

Build in time for pit stops – and if time allows, make short stops that incorporate fun activities along the way. Everyone will need a bathroom break and a meal, but if that happens at a place right off the highway and near playground it can be better for everyone! The kids will get fed – and burn off some energy. 

Hit up a dollar store before you leave and stock up on small toys and activities to give to your kids along the way. Every hour let your child choose a surprise – a great incentive for good behavior! You can even wrap the toys for an added element of excitement.

doTERRA Wild Orange Review and Giveaway

I'm very excited about this month's doTERRA review and giveaway because we are featuring the Wild Orange Essential Oil which is my absolute favorite scent. I use it for cleaning mostly as it is a great for disinfecting. Another plus is that even while it cleans its also helping to give you a nice little energetic boost with its aromatherapy effects.

What I did not know is that there are other help benefits in using Wild Orange such as its effectiveness is fighting off symptoms of colds and flu, supports the elimination toxins from the body, while stimulating the lymphatic system AND can be effective as an anti-cancer agent due to Wild Orange’s main constituent, limonene, which has powerful anti-cancer activity.

For cleaning, I use it with my steam mop. I put a few drops on the floor around the area that I'm about to steam, smells great and helps with disinfecting. I've also added it to my homemade cleaning solutions.

Since reading more about it I've put it on my navel (as suggested) and also around my neck area so that I can smell it throughout the day.

Wild Orange is also one of doTerra's more affordable oils at only $10.50 which is a really great value for all the uses that it offers. Remember, a little goes a long way!

One lucky reader will have the opportunity to try this great oil for themselves because I will be giving one away! This giveaway is open to US Residents only, aged 18+, void where prohibited. Enter using the Rafflecopter below! (Giveaway ends on November 15th at 11:01pm cst)
