Why We Teach our Kids to Swim

As a family travel blogger, my kids are always on the go. We are often at beach destinations or stay at hotels with swimming pools. And when I bring my kids to Kauai to visit my Mom, they are near a pool and the ocean. Plus, we live in Seattle where we are surrounded by lakes, rivers, and Puget Sound. It’s important that our kids are safe when they are in the water. That’s one of the reasons I pack the SwimWays Baby Spring Float Sun Canopy on our family adventures. Plus, it folds flat into the carry bag.

Tips for Flying with a Baby

Are you starting to plan a vacation? Does the thought of flying with a baby make you nervous? I remember feeling panicked a few years ago when my husband suggested we fly to Thailand with our 6-month-old baby. Every time I imagined this scenario, I pictured my baby crying non-stop for hours and hours. I envisioned passengers saying mean things and giving us dirty looks. And when I started Googling to get tips, I found all kinds of horror stories.

Feeding a Baby on Vacation

I’m one of those rare Moms who gets super excited about feeding babies solid food. Babies react so differently to trying new foods.

I love being part of the experience by making my own purees, finding a variety of teething crackers and introducing my kids to unique flavors.

Choosing the right travel stroller for family travel can be tough. I feel like I’m constantly combing the Internet looking for a lightweight stroller that is durable yet easy to maneuver.

I’m often traveling with just my kids and I need a stroller that I can push with one hand while hauling luggage with the other hand.
