Are Agnes & Dora Clothes Good for Travel?

When my friend Nicole F. asked if I was interested in reviewing Agnes & Dora apparel for her, I was definitely curious. I had already seen a lot of women talking about these clothes on mommy boards and Instagram. Rewind to a few weeks before when my youngest daughter was helping me shop for clothes. She kept bringing me things I would never, never pick on my own, but that looked great once I…

Family of Four Kicked Off Overbooked Flight

I can’t stand this. It physically hurts me to watch this video and hear the flight crew and the officers involved blatantly misquote the laws. They straight out lied. The FAA recommends that your child be in a restraint system when flying because it is so much safer. This is a screenshot from the FAA website!! I have discussed that topic on this blog… a lot. Even more after we almost go kicked…

Attach Your Child's Carseat to Your Carry On Bag - Update

Attach Your Child’s Carseat to Your Carry On Bag – Update

In my first post about this awesome back saving travel solution, Hitchin’ A Ride: Travel With A Car Seat On Your Carry On Bag, we talked about how to attach your child’s carseat to your bag if your carseat had a latch system. I know that most carseats have those systems these days, but I recently discovered that Go-Go Babyz now makes a strap that doesn’t require the latch system (though you can…

Yet Another Travel Pillow

This is interesting, and with a much better price point than the bullrest (at least for this kickstarter campaign), I feel like I would prefer the Ostrich Pillow Go. But don’t take my word for it, take a look for yourself. My favorite feature is that it shrinks down for storage.

An Updated Approach to Getting Rid of Lice

A while ago I dedicated a post to dealing with your getting lice when you’re on vacation. You could also discover the creepy crawlies when you’re on vacation, though now we check before leave for any place. Since then, I have made some awesome discoveries about getting rid of lice, because the olive oil & blow drying approach wasn’t working. The kids kept passing it to each other, and after three…

The Kindle Fire - My Favorite for Traveling Kids

The Kindle Fire – My Favorite for Traveling Kids

I have been writing this article in my head for the last few months. When Kindle Fire 7” tablets went on sale for Cyber Monday in 2015, my FIL bought the girls each one. At $33 he said they were too cheap not to buy. He also got them the bouncy foam cases and clear screen covers that have made them almost kid proof (the only way they could break them at this point would be to drop them in a…

London to Paris For Cheap - Ouibus

London to Paris For Cheap – Ouibus

We went to meet my Father-in-law during our Easter Break, since he had to go to England for work. The trip was wonderful, and I learned even more about the art of traveling with children (it’s an art, trust me). My oldest daughter is obsessed with Paris and since my FIL had taken my husband to Paris when he was 9, and my oldest is 9, FIL asked if we could find a way to get the whole family (6 of…

Using a Menstrual Cup on Vacation

The title says everything, doesn’t it? If you don’t want to read about how successful I was in using a menstrual cup on vacation, feel free to skip over this article. If you are intrigued, however, read on. Almost a year ago now, a dear friend messaged me on Facebook and said something like, “Sorry if this is TMI, but have you ever tried a menstrual cup?” It was just the thing I needed to hear. I…

Backpacking With Kids: 5 Backpacks – 5 People

Hey everyone! The last two weeks have been a little crazy, but I think it proved that our family has moved into the next stage of traveling; backpacking. We went to London, Paris, Budapest, and a tiny village in Hungary called Vajta. Why Vajta? Some of the most amazing people in the world live there… but that’s for another post. On our way from Paris back to London for our flight to Hungary. As…

When To Go Home Early

If you are on vacation, various things can happen that make it impossible for your family to enjoy your time together. This year, we decided to go to Kalamata (yes like the olive) to visit a dear friend the day after Christmas. We were set to stay for two nights, but we quickly realized that we may have to cut our trip short. Christmas night my son threw up all over his bed. He also had a high…

Wrapy Product Review & Guest Post

Hey everyone, I’m so excited to feature a guest post from my amazing friend Sarah.

BullRest Travel Pillow

So I was looking around on Kickstarter today, which I sometimes do, and I came upon this pretty interesting idea for a travel pillow. If you have 50 extra dollars lying around, it sounds like a good idea. If you travel a lot for work or something, I could see making such an investment in something that will allow you to sleep. I can’t ever sleep on the airplane no matter what I do so it would be…

Raising Culturally Sensitive Children

If you are going to take your children to places where they will be exposed to different cultures, you need to prepare them. Whenever I run into Americans that are visiting Europe I get excited, but there are certain things that Americans do that break my heart. With a little bit more education on a parent’s part, we could take several steps toward killing cultural arrogance and ignorance. I hope…
