walking on travels

I am a last-minute packer. I admit it. I procrastinate chatting online, playing with my kids, and anything else I can possibly find to keep myself busy so that I end up packing at the eleventh hour. I’m throwing notes up on the front door at midnight so we can grab random items as we run [...]

I have a lot of photos. That is putting it mildly. I’ve taken tens of thousands of photos since my dad first handed me a camera when I was 8 years old. For the rest of the summer, and maybe beyond, I’m going to dive into my archives and rediscover a few fun adventures I’ve taken [...]

A major deterrent when thinking of traveling with young children is the effect it will have on their sleep. There is no way to guarantee you and your child won’t suffer from jet lag but there is a little hope when it comes to the spot they will lay their head. We do not co-sleep [...]

As we settle into life as a family of four with baby Ty I’ve invited a few fellow travelers to share some of their stories. Up first was Nancy Vogel from Family on Bikes sharing her tale of traveling to Ethiopia with her 6-week-old twin boys. I am now thrilled to introduce you to Amy and her [...]

Yes, I know it’s Sunday, but Deliciousbaby.com encourages Photo Fridays and several people link back to her site with photos to share. I just found a very cute one on the Stuckihouse blog in her post Interactive Art in Jaffa . It is a photo of the blogger’s little boy in Israel and thought I [...]

Here is some useful information that I have gathered as I fly with my son and inevitably have to change a diaper while doing so. Where: a changing table is located above the toilet in most airplane bathrooms. Note: Some larger, usually international flights only have changing tables in certain bathrooms, so be sure to [...]

I have never really been out of the country during the Christmas season, but like all good commercial centers, Hong Kong had already broken out the Christmas lights and Santas by late November during our trip in 2010. We had a lot of fun seeing all of the elaborate decorations and metallic-colored trees. Plus nothing [...]

I’ll admit it, I have a friendly kid. He doesn’t have a lot of stranger anxiety. As long as he knows mom and dad are close, he will wave and say hi to just about anyone. If you are really lucky, he will hug your leg. We weren’t sure if this would carry over when [...]
