There are even board games. I plan to take my kids everywhere with me and I love that you are doing that with E because it shows me that it's possible! She is such a lucky little girl to have such great parents.

Whoever said that E shouldn't be in the distillery, well too bad. If the company says kids are welcome then bring the kids. There is a lot that can be learned from visiting a distillery, more than just taste testing lol!

In my house growing up children were "meant to be seen and not heard" (a direct quote from my mom) so I never felt included in the family and instead felt like a burden to my mom and like I was always in the way.

But like you, we have always included our kids in whatever we have done. I took Delylah to a winery because My BF and I were celebrating our first 5k together that we did with the kids and the winery had just opened near our house. The kids had fun and so did we! My kids will always be a part of everything I do and they will grow up appreciating things much more and already having knowledge of things that sheltered kids don't. I see it already every day! <br />Enjoy your life with your family!

Why shouldn't you take her someplace that you're going to enjoy and that she will too if she's welcome. It's not as if y'all got totally wasted and then couldn't drive home afterwards! Chris and I are totally planning on taking the babies to breweries and wineries with us and I'm sure that they'll have lots of sober fun while we're enjoying a drink. I don't think that's such a big deal. <br />To be honest, Chris and I are very worried about how much life is going to change when these babies are born, but I love your outlook on babies enhancing your experiences and not detracting from them. I definitely need to keep that in mind!Ashley @ The Wandering Weekendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253908070346972965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-25118188007483321812017-07-19T13:51:58.885-04:002017-07-19T13:51:58.885-04:00This is the kind of mum I hope to someday be - kid...This is the kind of mum I hope to someday be - kids should not stop you.

I honestly think that part of the reason why Kensington is such a chill baby at almost three months is the fact that we take her out with us everywhere. Life does not stop just because you've got children, and I love that this is something you guys are taking full advantage of. People will always find a reason to judge, but just keep doing what's best for you and your family :) Abbey Peraltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020068934464397448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-38397958884536099422017-07-19T11:11:52.278-04:002017-07-19T11:11:52.278-04:00Why do so many people on the internet feel the nee...Why do so many people on the internet feel the need to shame other parents?
