Traveling with children can be a fairly daunting task, a friend once told me it could be compared to swimming in a pool of sand. You just don't get very far, very quickly. Just like so many other things in life change when you become a mom, so does the way you travel. Gone were the days of one carry on, you now have to pack spare outfits, bottles, toys and so much more. My son Atticus and I make a pretty nice travel duo. We have flown around the country together, and in under 2 years racked up 87,000 miles together. Not too shabby for a tot that up until recently did not know how to zip his sweater. I'd love to say we have traveled to foreign lands, but MommyCon keeps us pretty busy domestically, and we have kept our travel to seventeen contiguous US states. When we travel I try to keep things concise and efficient. I learned long ago that some comforts of home should just be left behind, and in hopes of inspiring my fellow mothers to take flight and travel,
We're walking through a tunnel of coastal tea trees. The end of the tunnel is black, until sunlight pokes through, leaving the silhouette of a big wallaby, furiously jumping straight towards me. A second passes as both the wallaby and I realise what the two-headed creature we're facing is. When I do, I grab my camera out of my Ergo pocket, but it's already too late: the wallaby and her joey have jumped off our hiking path, into the bush.
We are spending a month in Australia, where my husband is working. The children and I are enjoying all of Melbourne's wildlife, zoos and child-friendly museums, the superb coffee, cakes and ethnic vegetarian food, and meeting up with friends from various places and phases in our lives. I feel right at home in this country full of marsupials, since I often feel like one. I don't think I've taken my Ergo off since the day my son was born five years ago. The baby carrier carries my most precious cargo, and I don't just mean my children. I can't think of a
We're thinking of taking a day trip to the beach. I wanted to go longer, but my husband thinks it will be a big hassle with the baby. I've been trying to think of everything we'll need to make the trip go smoothly:
When my husband and I were on a recent trip to Italy we visited Castello di Ama and did their winery tour. The winery has an amazing Chianti Classico, Olive Oil and an amazing art exhibit.
We spent the day roaming through the vineyards and Ava was all snugly and slept most of the trip. The day was really sunny but the Ergobaby had a cover that protected Ava from the sun while she slept. She loved the carrier and it certainly 1. Make use of the Baby Care Centers
Disney offers baby care centers in all 4 theme parks at Disney World and in both theme parks at Disneyland Resort. Open during regular park hours, each facility is complimentary to use and includes a private nursing room with rocking chairs, changing room with tables, feeding area with highchairs, plus a mini kitchen with microwave. Some even offer "miniature" toilets and sinks. There is also a little room with a TV, some picture books, and kid-sized chairs. A nice place to unwind or get cool for a few minutes. Baby food, diapers, wipes, sunscreen, over-the-counter medications, and clothing are also available for purchase. Here are the locations of the Baby CareFrom: Babble, Ergobaby Travel Collection: Best Yet? "It sounds ideal: same adjustable padded shoulder straps (it fits both my 6’8” husband and 5’6” me), same waist belt, and same zipped pocket in front, but it can fold into itself to become as small as a wrist-clutch. Frankly, that’s good news to me whether it’s for stowing in my suitcase or carry-on or whether it’s for storing in my spare closet." Ergobaby Travel Collection
Emotional Benefits of Getting Outside
Spending time in nature with your baby can strengthen the bond between you. The simple act of holding your baby close, feeling their warmth, and sharing new experiences together can create strong emotional connections. It’s also a wonderful way to reduce stress and improve your mood. When my littles were extra fussy, I’d take a walk around the neighborhood. Even though I don't live in an area with trails and surrounded by nature, simply behind outside changed everything. A little vitamin D does wonders!

After a week of sunshine and warm weather this past July, the typical gray skies of Western Washington returned, along with 60 degree temperatures. It turns out though that 60 degrees and gray skies is perfect weather for blueberry picking! My summer bucket list just received another check mark. Bergen and I met Nina and her two kids (ages 1 & nearly 5) at Larsen Lake in Bellevue, Washington, a suburb of Seattle, to see just how many blueberries we could gather in our buckets. We both strapped the babies into their ergos on our backs, and with Maya in the lead we started down the main path. Hundreds of blueberry bushes line this greenbelt area in the middle of suburbia allowing us to have our choice of spots to start from. As we started picking away, Maya and I took Nina's advice:
- Pay attention to the color of the berry. The darker the better. If the blueberry isn't blue, it's not ready to be picked!
- If the berry just seems to fall right off the stem, it's probably a good choice!
