Travel

I’ll admit I was pretty overwhelmed with the thought of packing for 10 days on the road with Piper for our recent trip to Maine. I started packing for us all about a week before we left and made a big checklist to ensure we wouldn’t forget anything (which we did).

Tomorrow we leave for our 9+ hour road trip to Maine! I have been asking around for any and every tip for traveling with toddlers and here are 20 of my favorites, hopefully they come in handy for your summer travel.

Summer travel season is upon us!! Traveling with your kids and babies can be stressful and overwhelming but amazing and fun at the same time if you’re prepared. I polled all of the amazing mamas I know tho share their tips!

I’m excited to finally share some of our travel tips and images from our Spring trip to Italy! Italy is one of my favorite places on earth, I began my obsession with this country long ago and feel fortunate enough to have visited several times and even studied abroad in college. I have Italian roots […]

We recently took Piper on her first real beach trip so I thought I’d share a few tips! We stayed right on the beach with my in-laws and having the comfort of a changing area and shade a few steps away was really wonderful luxury for us. Sunscreen before you put on bathing suits. I […]

Image via Barefoot Blonde There’s no place quite like New York City during the holidays, and it’s even more magical if you’re able to share the experience with children. I spent nearly 5 years calling this city home and it’s still one of my favorite places in the world, I can’t wait to make a tradition […]

As you may remember we took a family trip to Columbus last month — I shared all of the details from our fun weekend away in this post and today I’m back with a few ideas of things to do when visiting Columbus with kids! Columbus is a versatile city that has so much to […]

A few weeks ago Austin, Piper and I flew to Columbus to explore the city in collaboration with LIFE IN CBUS . We had been wanting to get away, just the three of us for a while and this was the perfect excuse! With our crazy schedules and house renovations it seems like we can never just enjoy […]

Wearing: Banana Republic shorts, Prada sandals, Target top I’ll admit the idea of traveling to wine country with a baby isn’t all that appealing — we are so grateful to be able to travel to this beautiful place to visit family and are obviously excited to have Piper in tow but if you’re planning a […]

Piper has 8 flights down now and each one has presented its own set of challenges given her age at the time. I was most nervous on her first flight (across the country, none the less) but I was really worried about our trip to California last month since she’s very active now and can be […]

Today I’m excited to kick off a series kid-friendly city guides from a local’s perspective. I thought it would be fun to start with my home town and since I’m a new mom — I asked my friend Christina of the blog Proper Hunt to chime in on her favorites… she has 4  and 1 […]

By the time Piper was 6 months she had 6 flights under her belt. Before she was born we bought tickets to California — so I had quite a while to prepare for that first flight. As an already nervous flyer, the weeks leading up to that trip were full of worry, stress and anxiety […]
