Family travel is complicated. And sometimes fun.

The Travelling Baby
When I made a passport for my two month old, many of my mothers friends and my own thought I was mad. However I knew I still wanted to see the world and that having my daughter would not hold me back.

Cheer Up This Holiday's Travel with Car Games for the Kids
Holiday season involves good food, fun times, and long lost relatives and friends. Visiting these loved ones usually entails hours of traveling thanks to distance and traffic and traveling means a lot of time spent in the car. I can see it now, stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic with anxious children who are close to death-from-boredom while I hold back my car sickness and my husband argues with the 100 cars surrounding us (they can’t hear you, honey, give it up).

Winter in the Woods
It was the beginning of my fourth grade Thanksgiving weekend, a wonderful time away from school, and more importantly, the assignments and homework that come with school. "Hurry up Nathan, we're going to leave soon”, said my mom as she rushed me out the door into our freshly packed van. We were spending the weekend in the snow-covered mountains of Sisters, Oregon in a rustic log cabin.

Summer Time In Maine!
This is my son when he was 3 years old. This is very first time my son and I have seen the ocean. My husband has seen it many times on account that he has traveled the world. Anyway, back to our summer in Maine. My kids thought it would be cute to be buried in the sand. My husband and son dug a hole and buried my daughter up to her neck. My son wanted to do the same thing so my husband and daughter dug and hole and started to bury my son but he wasn't having it anymore, and I have the picture of his face saying yuck. I was laughing so hard, I wasn't sure if I was able to take the picture.

Traveling with a Newborn
I have recently become a new mom, and knowing one who has never had a child before I am sure many of you new moms can understand and relate to, is how tough it can be to adjust and learn what it's like to have a baby. Especially when you are doing it alone like me. Well, aside from the sleepless nights, endless sets of poopy diapers, and constant feedings. The bonding tends to pay off and make it all worth while. Within all of this it's easy among the constant caring for your child to forget about caring for yourself. I mean, come on, who has time to shower and clean the house or even remember to eat when you feel as if you're constantly running around for your child's benefit? I know I didn't and sometimes I still don't. You're supposed to sleep when they sleep right? So how ever could one suffice enough energy to work out, eat, shower, or watch tv just for themselves? One simply could not. I know I couldn't.
