Read on for some simple food hacks which you can follow if you are travelling with your toddler.
I love being a mom and everyone who knows me would sooner or later agree with my larger than life display of love for my son. However, I too have my moments and then all hell breaks loose.
Whether you are a stay at home mom or a working mom, making sure that your child is well fed, is always the biggest worry in the world. Today, after I picked my son up from school, I had to run a few errands and also make a quick trip to the supermarket and while I was making sure I mentally ticked all the items to purchase from the supermarket, I was about to hit level one of paranoia, because my son hadn’t had a snack (and believe me it feels like a crime sometimes when your child is unfed for more than 2 hours).
I was about to pick a chocolate and a biscuit which had some high funda hullabaloo about it providing certain amount of energy and having a mix of nuts too (nuts are healthy by the way), but some good sense prevailed, maybe the angels in heaven were really watching over my son (well there is this story about disciplining my son, that involves two angels watching him all the time).There was a fruit cart nearby, I picked up an apple, got it billed at the billing counter. I was carrying an extra bottle of water, so washed it ( you get bottled water at supermarkets….tsk tsk) and since I always carry a Swiss knife, cut it into half and handed it over to my son.
Ahh!! The peace that set into my mind, that feeling of getting my son to eat something healthy, was just like the feeling of, India winning over Pakistan!!
So, the next time you got to travel with your babies\toddlers, here are some quick snacks that you can carry. Also make sure you have a small knife wrapped in an aluminum foil, which will help you to cut things.
Finally, Mr. Google and Pinterest always have answers for us moms, who are seekers of treasures of health for our kids. Just ensure you avoid giving your kids too much of packaged food because no matter how healthy they claim to be, they will always have some preservatives added to make sure it stays on that supermarket rack.
Mommies who cant do the above, just trust your gut for whatever you decide, because after all mommy knows best.
Happy Searching, Travelling and Raising up Kids Mommies!!

'Dr Saloni will take care of everything,' my MIL said. My cowardly husband refused to go against his mother’s wishes. I was left to fend for myself!
Some time ago, I went to a marriage ceremony with my parents. It was a very high-profile marriage – not the ones we usually were invited to – but in this case it was Ramesh uncle’s son’s marriage. Ramesh uncle was my father’s first cousin. He began his career as a humble elevator operator at the TIC business group. With his sheer hard work, grit, and the knack of sensing the right opportunities, within eighteen years he became the president of the company. My father and he were the best of friends during their school time.
Half an hour before the stipulated time, we left our house, hired an auto and reached the venue. All four of us were in our best outfits. Getting out of the auto and looking at each other, we were highly convinced that we were going to fit in just right. As we crossed the dazzling and beautiful portico, we felt very insignificant compared to the big lawn and building lying ahead.
Mother was wearing all the jewellery she had got, including the big old-fashioned necklace, earrings and shiny bangles. Father was wearing a velvet coat, brother had put on a light orange shirt with a black check coat, I myself was wearing a red salwar kurta with a net dupatta. I had put on a necklace with red beads which at the time of wearing looked very pretty to me. Now looking at the other guests, I felt all four of us must be looking like clowns who had come for a fancy-dress competition. I felt my brother and parents were also feeling self-conscious and uneasy now.
“What you call love is actually possessiveness. You made all my decisions for me. I would probably be happier without you in my life,” Revant screamed!
Revati’s life had changed when, after ten years of being an only child, her parents brought in a stranger into the house. She had looked at the young boy who had wide, frightened eyes, and she had fallen in love with him on sight. He was small-made and a lone tear hung below his eye as he looked around at the huge house with its crystal chandeliers and eye-catching artefacts.
Ma had hugged him impulsively.
“Come here, little one! Meet your sister, Revati!”
This Mother’s Day, new moms and old moms, even grandmoms and great-grandmoms share their tried and tested baby food recipes.
So the bundle of joy is here and the new mother’s happiness knows no bounds. Soon the process of breast feeding begins. While breast milk is the complete source of nutrition for babies, introduction of any food other than breastmilk to the baby is known as weaning.
While some kids welcome the new tastes of fruits, rice, cereals etc., some are not so happy with the change. Even the ones who accept new food easily, crave for variety. Believe it or not, paediatricians advise that a variety of food be given to babies as they easily get bored of the same taste, and a new mom starts looking for baby food recipes that she can make with what she has.
I backpacked solo with my 16 month old baby across Europe, and it was a wonderful bonding experience that I'll always cherish; we both had a lot of fun and learnt so much about each other!

Someone has rightly said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page”. This thought holds a big place in our hearts and lives, as both my husband and I are passionate about seeing the world.
Having travelled to more places than he can count on his fingers, he introduced me to the exciting world of backpacking travel. We started travelling extensively right after we got married, and began with exploring India and later started venturing overseas. We believe more in the concept of ‘travelling like locals’ in a foreign land. Therefore, we have mostly always done backpacking trips, and have planned our own itineraries.
