When we have new babies in our lives, it’s easy to go into a self-imposed exile or quarantine, reading only sleep habits books and looking only at the baby. Of course, Whitney and I think that mama needs to leave the house and thus this site was born.
I read the story of how Vicky took her 6 week old daughter, Caitlin, to a bachelorette party at a casino and nodded with recognition (I flew from SFO to Chicago to attend one of my bff’s weddings when Holden was 3 weeks old, so I’m a little crazy). Her amazingly supportive husband, Dave, hung out with the bambino in one of the party rooms so that Vicky could go back and forth between the party and the breastfeeding.
Oh yeah, I would have done that. Maybe it’s awesome, or maybe it’s terrible, but if you don’t even try to go to your best friend’s party, won’t you always wish you did?
Read the logistics and details at SecretMomThoughts post “adventures.” Next time, Vicky, take a picture of you being all wild and not just baby and daddy hanging out.
What are some of the crazy places y’all have taken your infants? Any pregnant mamas with grandiose plans?

We’ve taken the baby almost everywhere she’s even been on an airplane too, yeah I totally agree with Vicky, a baby should be no reason to go into exile, on the contrary they are the best reason to live a more active and happy life so they learn to be social and flexible.
I’m going to a conference next week in DC with my baby and his grandmother. It should be interesting.
My husband and I took our 9 day old son to a wedding over 3 hours away. And I had had a c-section. Within his first 2 weeks of life we also went to two graduations. We wanted to be at these events for our friend and family members so we made it work.
My family lives out of state so we met in Vegas! My husband and I with our 8 mth old with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a blast! It was so easy and fun getting around… The monorail works well with strollers! We hardly spent time in smokey casinos. Instead we checked out the family/ tourist stops, ate at amazing restaurants and shopped! I am not an expert, but let me know if anyone needs Las Vegas recommendations with an infant!
I was with my 2 month old and a friend when she decided to get her nose re-pierced at a tattoo parlor/art gallery.
It was half an art gallery right? (oil paintings of all the tattoos they did)
Yes it was super creepy with big pictures of skulls and flaming demons, metal music at a medium volume and lots of blacklights.
I just felt like a real winner with my baby looking around with her big eyes in her carseat, she didn’t seem to care-just about her bottle.
Too funny!
