    Stocking Stuffers for Travelers

    Looking for stocking stuffers for the travelers in your life? It is hard to believe that the 2019 holidays are right around the corner! In our family, Christmas stockings are a big deal.

It is so fun to fill a stocking for another family member. We keep it a secret and carefully select fun stocking stuffers  for each other. Now that my sisters and I are grown up, our husbands have joined in the on…

But now that she is a little older, I do want to make sure I’m prepared on our long-haul flights (we have a several 6-10 hour flights planned within…

    20 Baby Registry Ideas for Traveling Families

    Some people believe that they need to stop traveling when they start a family. I completely disagree! Traveling with a baby looks a lot different than traveling as a couple, but we have loved making memories with our sweet baby girl. She went on her first “stay-cation” at a beach resort at 8 weeks, her first out-of-state road trip to visit family at 10 weeks, and her first tent camping trip at 4.5 months. We haven’t stopped traveling and are looking forward to all of our upcoming adventures with her! When you’re expecting a baby, setting up a registry can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many great products…
