It's PCS season for us so we've been checking out a variety of websites to look for rentals. We always use military housing as a backup in case we aren't able to secure housing before moving. I came across homes.mil and wanted to share with my fellow military families.

We are looking for a house to rent so we had to look for something that catered to our needs. I was able to find a few rentals that i'm interested in on homes.mil. The website is user friendly and offers a variety of search options, such as square feet, furnished/unfurnished, lease term and available by. Some of the rentals offer military discounts but not all. This information will be listed in the ad.

This is not a paid ad. This is my personal opinion. I'm just trying to help other families while they are going through the stressful process of PCSing.

While vacationing in Las Vegas, we decided to visit the Seven Magic Mountains. This was one of Caydens favorite things. He loves dirt and rocks. So of course he decided to grab some small rocks off the ground and put them in his pocket. lol. I explained to him that he couldn't take the rocks with us.

If you visit Las Vegas, Drive about 20 minutes away from the strip and you will see the magic mountains. It's a great place to stop and take pictures. There's no restroom or water/food there. We didn't need anything while there and only stayed for about 20 minutes.

We took 4 round trip flights this year. Cayden has become a pro when it comes to traveling. I've created a list of items that help us make traveling easy. I'm happy to share these tips with you and I hope it helps you out as well!

Backpack
We found a backpack that has a lunch box attached to it. This is his carry on. Inside the backpack is one of his favorite bears, a few toys, a jacket and a change of clothes in case he spills something on himself

Snacks
I pack his favorite snacks. He loves brownies, dry cereal, cereal bars, apple sauce, hot dogs and peanut butter & Jelly sandwiches. All of these items are perfect for the plane. I also pack condiments, napkins, utensils, cup and a stray. 

Tablet
Cayden uses one of my old phones as a tablet since his actual tablet died about a year ago. We download Netflix on the phone. Then we use the offline option where your able to download shows and movies to the device to use when you do not have access to internet or wifi. This allows him to watch his shows while playing with toys and eating snacks.


Inflatable Travel Foot Rest Pillow
This last trip was our first time using the blow up pillow. It fits in the space in front of his seat and allows him to put his feet up and sleep comfortably. The height was adjustable and the only issue we had with this item is that we did not bring a small hand pump. We had to use our mouths. Very exhausting! lol This item folds up small and fits in my carry on. We purchased this from Amazon.com. (The foot rest is pictured in the above picture under Caydens feet)
