With the holidays coming up, lots of moms will be trying to figure out workable sleeping solutions for their little ones while away from home. For my family, hotels are usually the hardest. I still laugh when I think about my friend whose husband went to Home Depot and bought PVC pipe and flower pot saucers to construct a room divider to separate the adult and kid sleeping areas. Fortunately it was a driving vacation! Another friend Ashleigh is in LOVE with this travel bed from One Step Ahead. She made the marathon trip to Sydney, Australia, with her 3 year old daughter, who slept on this bed for their entire 8 week trip. She had her own little “room” down under (well, next to) her mom’s bed in their hotel room…and she just loved it. There are all kinds of “accessories” available too, like a fitted sheet, personalized fleece blanket and pillowcase. So much better than having the squirmy little munchkin sandwiched between you and your husband, if you ask me!
