Blow Birthday Cards // Review

I’ve mentioned before that one of the worst parts of expat life is feeling disconnected from home. When I was back in the States, I loved sending mail. It was so easy to do. I could put it the box right outside the house, put the flag up and off it went to its recipient. […]

With three little ones to squeeze into a sleeping space we are always on the lookout for travel beds. We’ve told you about our Diono Bassinet and Phil & Ted’s Travel Crib, which are our picks for our little little and middle little. The big little was a bit harder to find something for, mostly […]

Hydaway Water Bottle // Review

I’ve got a new favorite travel product for traveling with kids – The Hydaway Water Bottle.  This water bottle collapses down to almost nothing and has withstood traveling with our family for over a month now.

Yippie Yo “Crossbuggy” // Review

I could not have been more excited when my Yippie Yo Crossbuggy arrived at my door. The shipping box was massive! I was excited about the contents and my two littles were excited about all the things they could build with the shipping box. To satiate your curiosity, know that we kept the box for […]

Kids Headphones: What We’re Using

I’ve been asked three times this week what kids headphones we are using while traveling and if we like them. (I guess that is the push I need to write a post that I can just refer people to instead of looking them up on Amazon every time I’m asked.) For starters, we are of […]
