Traveling with children is rarely simple or easy.  There are so many situations to consider when deciding what to pack.  What if they get sick!?  Would it be best to pack a thermometer and medicine or go out and buy should the need arise.....?  How will I keep the kids comfortable on the airplane?  How on earth will I manage all the dirty Read more [...]

As any parent can tell you, time sure does fly.  Our oldest is turning 11 this year and I still remember so much about the weekend she was born all that time ago.  When I think that in just 7 short years she'll be considered an adult, I just want to cry.  Then I start to think about our youngest who is already 18 months and that feels impossible.  Read more [...]

  Thank you to Haru Honpo for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Well, the last 11 years of my life have included me having a child pretty much everywhere I go.  About six months ago my husband didn't have much to do, so I left the kiddos at home while I attended my cousin's baby shower  My aunt was completely floored that I didn't have even one of our five kids with because she had never seen me childless Read more [...]
