    No Screens Possible for Short Flight with 13 month old?

    @lostinthepast Oh you will be shocked at how short those flights feel. You won’t need screens at all. The surrounds of a flight may just be interesting enough. We just flew loooong flights to and from LA and Scandinavia with our 13 month old and we didn’t do screens at all. Well actually we...

She works with one of the most vulnerable populations there is and she wasn’t vaccinated against Covid and also wasn’t vaccinated for tdap, RSV, flu… it came down to us not being able to get behind or financially empower a person...
