Preparing For Jet Lag
I started thinking about jet-lag and how I would manage it days before my trip to Sydney. Yes, I tend to hyper-organize but also I was nervous about traveling east-to-west for the first time in a long time and traveling alone with my two children. Knowing that I would likely be more tired than they Read the Rest…
Hello From Sydney
Today’s Photo Friday post comes from Sydney. We had a busy day out on our first day trying to stay outside and active so that we could stay awake until evening-time here.

An Eventful Visit To The Giant’s Causeway
I was clearing out some bookshelves recently and I came across this little book. It’s part of a set of Irish Legends re-told for young children.

Winter Family Fun In Seattle
This is Seattle in mid-winter. It can be a pretty grey place. At this time of year when it’s dark early in the evenings and daylight hours get shorter every day (shorter by 3 minutes per day from now until December 21st actually), it’s not so easy to drum up enthusiasm (or energy) to get Read the Rest…
