When we had our first baby I remember being so nervous about traveling with a newborn for the first time. What did I need to bring? What should I pack for the airplane? How would I change her diaper? How would I feed her? At the time my husband worked for an airline at their corporate headquarters as a software …
Sometimes you just need a break. Or sometimes you will be given a once in a lifetime opportunity that you feel you just need to take. Either way (or perhaps in both cases) you might find yourself in the situation where you need to leave your baby with a relative or close friend for a couple days or a couple …
Taking a baby on an airplane for the first time can be very intimidating. There are so many different concerns that go through one’s mind. Will the baby be comfortable, will the baby cry and scream the entire time, will his or her ears hurt from the change in altitude and so on. The worries can be enough to make …
I love to nurse my baby. It’s a special time just for her and me. I always try to retreat to a private more intimate space when it comes time to feed my baby, away from others. It’s not that I’m ashamed or think it’s weird when others choose to breastfeed their baby in public- I just understand that it …
It’s inevitable. Eventually you will need to change your little one’s diaper on an airplane. My advice? Avoid it like the plague.

If you find yourself in Virginia trying to decide on an activity to take your family to on a Saturday, especially one that is educational yet exciting enough that your kids won’t realize it, something that your oldest to your littlest and even in between will enjoy, then you really should look into a trip to the Luray Caverns. The …
Stepping through the entrance gates of Machu Picchu, I couldn’t help but feel excited. I was running on a few hours of sleep and I had just finished a long trek through Peru and braved some of the world’s scariest mountain roads the day before. The morning fog was thick and the mist was tickling my bare arms as we …
I am not the world’s best sleeper regardless of the circumstances. I have had trouble sleeping at night as far back as I can remember. I’m very sensitive to noise, light and other disturbances (mainly all of the thoughts racing through my mind). Because of that I often suffer from insomnia and tend to be grouchier then the average person …
A couple of months ago I interviewed my favorite flight attendant, well here is an interview I did with my favorite pilot (who also happens to be my brother-in-law) Chris. His love for all things airplanes, airlines, flying, and the friendly skies are palpable. If you get him talking about his love (other than my sister-in-law and two adorable neices …
