Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth…for Infants and Toddlers too!
Monday, July 7th, 2008On May 29th, my husband and I visited Disneyland with our then-20-month-old daughter and our friends Joe & Rhonda and their then-8-month-old son. I think we were all wondering if a trip to the famed amusement park would be worth it with such young ones in tow. After all, they wouldn’t remember the experience and [...]
Now THIS Is A Vacation!
Monday, July 7th, 2008My husband and I originally planned on honeymooning in Jamaica at an all-inclusive resort. Then, 9/11 happened and our flight on Air Jamaica got cancelled so we ended up going on a cruise down the Mexican Riviera (that’s us to the left, newly married with stars in our eyes). The cruise was lovely - the [...]
WANTED: Homes for Wild Animals (p.s. they’re tame and very cute)
Sunday, July 6th, 2008This is how the luggage situation usually ends up when we travel with our daughter. My husband packs a small bag and then my daughter and I “share” a large bag. Or, I should say that my daughter’s stuff takes up 80% of that space and I squeeze my things into the other 20% of [...]
This Company CARES About Your Toddler’s Safety In-Flight
Saturday, July 5th, 2008If you’re flying with a baby under age 2, you usually have two options when it comes to seating:
1. You can purchase a seat for your baby to give your family a little extra space, avoid being squashed next to an unpleasant neighbor, and ensure that your child has the safest possible journey.
2. You can [...]
The Radisson: Family-Friendly Suites at Affordable Prices
Saturday, July 5th, 2008When we go to book a hotel for a family vacation, we always look for three things:
A suite-style room
Complimentary breakfast at the hotel
Proximity to attractions in the area that we want to visit (amusement parks, museums, beaches, restaurants, etc.)
We recently chose the Radisson Suites Hotel Buena Park when we went to southern California because it [...]
Themed Weekend: Traveling with Baby
Saturday, July 5th, 2008I LOVE traveling. Or, I should really say that I love destinations. Being stuck in a little seat where the air recirculates and the bathrooms are minuscule is not necessarily my idea of fun. Long road trips aren’t much better, especially since Motion Sickness often sneaks into our car and invites himself along (how rude!).
I’ve been to [...]
Cool, man! Oops, I mean…Coleman
Sunday, June 1st, 2008When I think of family camping products, I think of Coleman. They offer such a wide array of products at affordable prices (which all families can appreciate!).
I recently had the opportunity to review the Coleman Evanston 14′ x 12′ tent ($189.99). It sleeps 8 and is really tall so you can walk around and change clothes [...]
A Blanket that Keeps Bottoms Dry
Saturday, May 17th, 2008How many times have you been out-and-about and…
decided to make a quick trip to the park or the beach?
picked up some food for a picnic and headed to an outdoor location?
met up with a friend to do a quick walk or run around the track [...]
