How vacation brings you back to exactly where you need to be

By Jessica On November 13, 2015 · 4 Comments · In Parenting, Personal, Travel
I know that I’m incredibly lucky to have the experience to take a vacation alone with my husband, leaving behind our 16-month-old toddler and 4-year-old. We traveled to Hawaii three weeks ago and I wrote this post as I was experiencing it. This was our first time leaving Ezra with someone other than my husband [...]

With holiday travel taking place for many families and the anniversary of our big trip to Sri Lanka coming up, I thought that revisiting our trip a bit and talking about travel with children would be helpful.

Toddler boy tropical vacation fashion: What Bodhi packed

By Jessica On January 14, 2014 · 3 Comments · In baby, fashion, Parenting, Toddler, Travel
Packing for children is the best and the worst. There are things, that if you forget them, can cause some serious headaches for all. Like children’s Tylenol just in case little one gets an earache or sick during travel. Or night diapers for an almost-potty-trained, but not-quite-there-child. Or certain activities (like books and for us, [...]

Warm-weather vacation: Maternity style

By Jessica On January 13, 2014 · 1 Comment · In fashion, pregnancy, Travel
Pulling together comfortable, fashionable maternity clothes for a trip to Sri Lanka (an island country south of India with a lovely tropical climate) was not easy. I was pregnant in the winter with Bodhi so owned almost nothing. Luckily, combining borrowed items from two friends, a few of my own non-maternity items and a couple [...]
