{family fun} favorite bag for traveling (& giveaway!)

{This giveaway is now closed. Winner was notified via email. Congrats #38 Kelly S.!} It's no secret that I love Halsea. The clutches, the tote bags, the luggage....well, pretty much anything Halsea makes me happy. Why do I love it so, you ask? Because it WORKS. Because it DOES what it's SUPPOSED to do. Because it LOOKS GOOD doing it. Again, because it WORKS! Here's an example. I've had this...

{Family Fun} Traveling? Don’t forget…

Planning on traveling out of the country this summer, or frankly EVER? Some of this may also apply if you'll be somewhere closer to home, but remote. In this case I'm writing in regards to our being both out of the country for a month, and VERY remote. 1. Talk to your Pediatrician about prescribed medications your Littles may need. If you are traveling internationally, and your child needs antibiotics,...

{Family Fun} Airplane bags for the Little Punks

I know I've mentioned it before, and really, it's true. I'm lazy. If it's going to require too much extra effort, I'm just not into it. Now I know that is probably opposite of what you would think of me...but here is where the little violin starts to play.... These 3 Little Punks that we have? The ones that I LOVE with all my heart? That I really can't imagine...

Tip of the Day: Aquaphor!

I'm big on muti-tasking, and when people or products can do the same, it's a big gold star in my book. (If I could find my book....or my roll of gold star stickers....but you get the drift!) Aquaphor is one of the wonderful, mutli-tasking products for me. You're probably all saying I'm preaching to the choir right now, but SERIOUSLY, Aquaphor has saved me more than a few times. First...

my favorite place

I've mentioned it before. My favorite place. The cabin on the lake where we spent our childhood summers. It was and is an amazing place. It's in the middle of NO WHERE (which I say with all affection, no where is a PERFECT place for the cabin to be). Addie & Hay visited with me last May, but this was the first time to take all 3 kids and to...

couple travel favorites & lifesavers!

As I'm working on getting the family packed up for the next big adventure, thought I would point out a couple travel ESSENTIAL favorites!! I don't think I could ever travel without either of these. Aquaphor is a booty saver! The first time we traveled with Addie in a car, we drove to and from Tahoe, that's 9 hours each way. She was 9 months old and she got the...

road trips ~ a favorite thing

So I took a road trip this past Saturday to see family and friends in the Bay Area. The drive took me about 7 hours, which is what I had guessed it would with the kids. I pretty much thought I had lost my mind to even think doing a drive like that with a 2 year old, 1 year old and 4 month old was a good idea. My...

my new best friend

I took a little adventure on Saturday and drove 7 hours with the babes to see friends & family. Yes. Drove. In the car. Just me. And 3 babes, 2 years old and under. Fun. In all honesty, not that bad...I had pretty much thought out how the drive needed to play out and had a few contingency plans, but all in all, it went off without a hitch! But...

another quick travel tip

Get your kids their passport. I think the current (normal) quoted time is 6-8 weeks. Piper's came in 3 weeks. I have gotten each Little their passport within a few months of birth. It's EASY! Make an appointment (or walk in) at your local post office. Or check here for local places for your area. You will need your husband, your babes birth certificate & Social Security #, both parents...
