walking on travels

Nursing mothers rejoice. You can do it on a plane! Solo business traveling males- have no fear, we are generally a discreet bunch when it comes to cramped modes of transportation, at least I was. Now before the bottle feeders get up in arms, please know that I have done it both ways with both [...]

Whenever we have to travel with baby food I treat it just like any other liquid we need to carry on a flight. Everything gets put in a clear quart size plastic bag. I make sure to stick it in a tray with all of my other bags of liquids. I also schedule in extra [...]

Oh how nerve wrecking the infant game can be and we are just at the start. I remember it taking hours to get out the door after Dek was born. Granted I was a bit more out of sorts after having Dek than when I had Ty, but I still remember being daunted by the [...]

Last week we welcomed Baby Ty into our little traveling family. Big brother Dek is slowly settling in and having a blast taking pictures of the new little person in his life.

I’m not sure why other moms blog. I think we all have a variety of reasons, but I am finding that it is very therapeutic. Not only am I making a record of our travels (I’m a horrible at journal writing), and all of the “wisdom” I have gathered along the way, but I am connecting [...]

I’d like to rip my ears off, drown them in a stiff drink and sit alone on the beach. That’s what I am thinking as I am trying to get my son to sleep in Seattle after a 3 week trip in China and Japan. Now traveling with my son is worth it in every [...]
