When the right ticket price came up on Norwegian for a weekend visit to Stockholm, my friend and I jumped at the chance for a girls getaway to the north. It is a quick 2-hour flight from Amsterdam! In order to accommodate the kids’ schedules (and our husbands) we took a late night flight on […]
Continue readingBed Box from JetKids combines a ride-on suitcase with an in-flight leg rest all in one lightweight package. We fly a lot and I’m always looking for ways to make the most out of the limited space we have. I’m clearly not the only one worrying about this, as discussion of how to make your kids […]
Continue readingWe have all seen it – a family with two kids sitting a few rows ahead of us on a flight. Both kids are screaming, the floor is encrusted with smashed cookies and a layer of wet wipes and the oldest just ran past you wearing only a pair of socks. This can happen to […]
Continue readingOur readers ask some questions more than others. One question is about budget airlines in Europe. With so many small carriers in Europe, it is hard to know which airline to fly, especially for those less familiar with the hubs and national carriers. On a ranking of airline recognition, you might rank a sample set […]
Continue readingTallinn, Estonia completely exceeded our expectations. This city oozes charm. Despite the cold we enjoyed every moment of our three-day visit. Tallinn is an easy 2.5 hour flight from Amsterdam. We booked on KLM but our flight was operated by Air Baltic. The kids were eager to use their CARES Flight Harnesses. They always love […]

Our new little guy has been on a few trips (Three countries to be exact!) but the flight to Rome marked his first trip by air. We flew on a KLM itinerary that was being operated by Alitalia. Check-in […]
Continue readingEdinburgh is just one of those cities I instantly fell in love with. Jeff had a work conference in the city. The kids and I spent a week exploring the city, somewhat on our own, before heading out as a family on a driving tour. (Check out my practical tips for having kids in Edinburg.) We stayed […]
Continue readingBergen is topping the list as one of the favorite places we have had a chance to visit since moving abroad. This city is completely approachable and packed with charm. Perhaps this is why Disney chose it as a model for Frozen’s Arendelle. We were glad that the bulk of our Norway days were spent here […]
Continue readingWe arrived Oslo via the Bergen Railway into Oslo’s Central Station, which is quite large. The iPhone’s GPS was quite confused in the station, so we went out the exit toward the city but the phone quickly knew where we were. We decided to make the mile walk down Karl Johans Gate to our hotel. […]
Continue readingBerlin is an amazing city to visit and should top your European list. I’m typically not a city person. Although European cities are packed full of museums and culture, I prefer exploring the countryside and small towns. Berlin though, is so packed with history and yet completely new as it rebuilds from its Soviet era […]
