Liebster Award.

Well, this is fun! I’ve had the honor of being nominated for a Newbie Blogging Liebster Award by Jennifer over at “Until I Hold You Again.” Jennifer is courageous enough to share her story of loss with the world. It is a heavy topic, but one that too few people talk about. She provides solace […]

Instagram Travel Thursday: Atlanta

I’ve spent the last two months in a holding pattern between leaving our home in Colorado and starting our expat adventure in The Netherlands. While I’ve emotionally floated somewhere between excited and over whelmed, I filled our time with lots of “hometown adventures.” We have been playing tourist in Atlanta! I lived here till I […]

London with Toddlers

Our trip to London was a quick three-day visit nestled between the end of our Queen Mary 2 trip and setting off for mainland Europe on the Channel Tunnel. In 2013, just after H’s first birthday we spent 10 days in England which included a few days in London. On that first trip with H we hit […]

Tips & Tricks for Traveling with Kids on the QM2

The QM2 is so beautiful. Crossing the Atlantic is a magical experience. The boat is huge and dwarfs all those around it in harbor, barely fitting under the bridge as you leave NYC. A day later, I felt small on this tiny ship as I took in the vastness and solitude of the ocean. I […]

Queen Mary 2 Crossing – Top 10

The ocean changes colors with the weather. The waves increase and decrease causing entirely different patterns. Spotting another boat is thrilling. After not seeing any […]

Three Days in NYC with Toddlers.

I have a love, hate relationship with NYC. I love all the things there are to do in the city. I hate how crowded it always feels. I love all the architecture. I hate all the smells. I love all the languages I hear walking down the street. I hate how expensive everything is. In […]
