Traveling during the holidays? Little ones always anxious sitting at the doctors? We have a must have solution for every on the go momma; TRAVELKIDDY! Because what Mom doesn't need some peace & quiet!

Jen, hard working mother of four and owner behind the radiant concept was nice enough to send us a few items to review (and rave) about.

We found that all kits were perfect for anytime when quiet entertainment is needed - in restaurants, waiting for appointments, or when your little one is home sick and needs a pick me up. Everything they need is all in one handy organized place that you can grab in a second!
