Getting Digitally Connected Abroad

When we arrived in the Netherlands my top priority was to get us digitally connected. Jeff’s top priority was finding good places to eat. Go figure! The week on the QMII was a good digital break for the whole family. When the QMII pulled into port I was ready to get myself back up and […]

How to entertain the kids when you are traveling.

Travel Activities for Your Littles

This is part 2 of a series of “what is in my bag” when I travel with the kids. Check out part 1, about my favorite travel books. Keeping the kids busy while you travel can be challenging. I rely heavily on the books I listed in my last post. (You can see those books here.) […]

I’m A Guest Blogger On “A Rear Facing Family” Today!

Planes. Trains. Cars. Boats. Our cars seats have logged nearly as many miles as we have! I had a wonderful opportunity to write about bringing your car seat along for the ride when you travel. You can read the post here on A Rear Facing Family. Enjoy!

Queen Mary 2: The Crossing with Kids

I had a hard time finding information on bringing the kids on a Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Crossing. The ship is incredibly child friendly. It is my understanding that summer voyages have more children on board then the rougher winter crossings. We were one of several families using the QM2 to move our family overseas. Here are […]

New York City Travel Apps

One of the things I do before a big trip is load up the iPhone with specialty Apps. Here is what I’ve loaded for NYC. Embark NYC. I love using public transit, but I’m intimidated by the NYC system. Embark Apps simplify the process and do not require internet or cell service to work. […]

Gear for Eating on the Go

When we travel we eat in many different places. Our top choice is usually to spread out a blanket and go for a picnic. We just as often end up eating in people’s homes and restaurants. It is always nice to be prepared. Our travel high chair is on its way to the Netherlands ahead […]

Review of Go GO Wheels on Dutch Dutch Goose

Review of GoGo Kidz Travel Wheels

We usually travel with our car seat. Getting it through the airport became a bit complicated when we welcomed little O and had to transport two car seats. A friend recommended the “Go-Go Wheels” as she called them. The Go-Go Babz Travelmate Wheels allow you to roll your car seat through the airport like it was […]

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 […]

Expat Packing: It’s Just Stuff

Every few years we pack up our stuff and move. Usually I’m able to bring everything with me, this time I was given specific catagories. Carry On. Air Shipment. Boat Shipment. Storage. Trash. Everything we owned went into one of these categories. I know we are incredibly lucky to have relocation assistance. I divided […]
