What to Pack When Traveling to Europe with a Toddler

Posted on September 14, 2014 by Lesley | 0 Comments

I’d be lying if I said our recent 12 day trip to Germany was easy. It wasn’t. Traveling to Europe with a toddler can be extremely difficult. Athena, my rambunctious toddler, cried a lot.

Posted on September 2, 2014 by Lesley | 3 Comments

Most American families opt for all-inclusive, Caribbean resorts for family vacation. It’s easy and provides tons of options for all family members.

It’s the most toddler-friendly, all-inclusive property that I’ve visited and the best alternative to all-inclusive, Caribbean resorts. If you want…

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

The weather in Germany, with rain showers daily, hasn’t been ideal for touring. Try standing at a bus station with a soaking wet toddler and explaining that the bus still won’t be here for 20 minutes and you’ll understand.
