Review of phil&teds Traveler Crib

The phil&teds traveler crib ranks as one of my all time favorite kid travel accessories. Although both our kids have gone through co-sleeping phases, we always like to have a “safe” place to put them available. Traveling with an infant was easy! We’ve always used the bassinet for our baby jogger, city-select stroller when […]

Traveling With Kids

I’m here to tell you that traveling with kids is magical. We’ve traveled through every stage of life… Single, we traveled with friends and alone. Alone you get to do what you want, when you want. You are forced to make friends on the road. Solo, you fit on every tour and never have to wait. I […]

Saying Goodbye.

Its official… today marks the first time I’ve cried on our expat adventure!

It was sort of like that first scene […]

What to Expect when your Expat-ing.

The countdown is on! We are starting to get things moving for our big move. Really I’m planning more for our US “farewell” tour, which you can read about here. The planning is a nice distraction from the reality that we are moving abroad. With the house on the market and the husband house hunting in […]
