BACK FROM EUROPE!

Hey Jet Setters! I know I've been M.I.A. for awhile, but life has been busy lately! I just returned from a trip to Munich, Germany and Salzburg, Austria. Both places were amazing! I can't wait to share pictures and stories of my trip with you all. It was so nice to be over there this time of year because it was so festive between the cold weather, the snow, and the Christmas Markets, and being there really put me in the mood for the holidays! So stay tuned for more of my jet setting excursion to Europe!

MAKE THE MOST OF HOLIDAY TRAVEL WITH KIDS

Hitting the road for the holidays? A little bit of planning can go a long way towards keeping spirits bright, especially with kids! Here are some helpful tips:
1- Bored kids are restless kids. Bring along plenty of quiet but interactive activities without too many pieces to drop or throw.
2- Don't kick off the holidays with a fussy flyer in your lap. Pick a flight time when your baby's most likely to be asleep.
3- If you're staying in anything bigger than a hotel room, be sure to bring your baby monitor for extra piece of mind.
4- Hitting some public restrooms along the way? A portable potty seat provides a nice clean layer between your child and the toilet.
5- Pack a portable travel cot for a bed away from home- all the better if it can double as a playpen!
6- Bring along a favorite baby blanket: the familiar smell is soothing for your child.
