A Rough Guide to Travel with Babies
This weekend my husband and I took our 11 month babe hiking with us in Drakensberg, South Africa. We stayed at a lovely mountain retreat a four-hour drive from where we are staying, and a trillion miles from civilization. The views of the dramatic Drakensberg […]
It can be really challenging to get comfortable when flying pregnant, especially the bigger the belly gets, and the more baby squishes intestines and bladder out of the way to make a bigger home for him/ herself. I recommend the following to make flying while […]
My husband and I thought our three month old was sick when she spent every night for the first two weeks in Amman, Jordan screaming. We finally figured out there was nothing wrong with her at all; she simply needed time to adjust to the […]

I am currently settled for a couple of months with my family (which at the moment includes my husband, 2.5 year old, 4 month old, and my mother) in Nairobi, Kenya for my work. I say “settled” because two months is an exceptionally long time […]
I just left to Colombo, Sri Lanka after a two week stay in Kerala, India with my two year old and three month old. We met my husband there on the way to Kerala (at our connection in the Abu Dhabi airport) and stayed with […]
