walking on travels

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 from Family on Bikes sharing her tale of traveling to Ethiopia with her 6-week-old twin boys. Amy at Livin on the Road gave us a peek at her travels as a  family [...]

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. We are already brainstorming a few local outings to introduce Ty to our favorite spots around Seattle. Let’s hope the weather continues to [...]

We all deserve a little pampering and never more so than when we are pregnant. Sure traveling is a luxury in and of it self, but it can also be stressful. Finding ways to stay relaxed at home and on the road can make or break your holiday and even your week. Indulging yourself can [...]

With a toddler in tow [...]

All throughout my pregnancy Dek and I have been enjoying at least one morning a week exploring something new. Almost every day we are out of the house, but I like to dedicate one day to checking out something fun in or around the city that we have never seen before. Sometimes we even push [...]

Young, spry businessmen do not. I’ve almost passed out, thrown up and fallen over because I didn’t speak up and get myself a seat. Don’t do [...]

I was terrified when I was pregnant with Dek. There is nothing worse than knowing something big is coming your way, something that will probably be rather uncomfortable and mess up your body for a bit. The stress and anxiety can take over until you can’t think of anything but the impending birth of your [...]

Well you are up. Again. It’s fun isn’t it? You have been lying in bed for hours willing yourself to sleep. Your body already started prepping you for parenthood by making you have to get up to pee every 2 hours, why does it need to keep you wide awake for hours on end on [...]
