Hi Sleepless Moms! It’s Alexia here, the babysitter. I had the opportunity recently to travel with a family I babysit for so of course I had to share about the experience with you all! I have traveled a lot before, but traveling as a babysitter is a whole new experience. I mean, it involves hours…
Travel
R&R Getaway? Yeah, right!
Mom and dad are in town visiting from the cold cold midwest, so adventures, here we come! “Let’s go to Ojai,” I said. “It’ll be fun and relaxing,” I said. Nope. No way. No how. I’m really not sure at what moment in this entire plan I forgot that we have a 16 month old…
Travel Tips for the Holidays
It’s my favorite time of the year! It’s the season for friends, family, togetherness, and for most, some sort of travel! We’re lucky enough that our loved ones live so close, which makes it easier for all the holiday get togethers, but we’ve done our fair share of travel over the last few years with…
Me Time
Babes, boats and booze, now that’s my kind of #MeTime! I just came off of a fun filled weekend with my group of girls who I consider my family, my sisters. We have this trip every summer, but we’re seriously considering doing something like this every season! We all count down the days until we…
Can Mama Still Hang?
As I laid in the zero entry pool, surrounded by amazing friends, sipping on a delicious Daiquiri, I realized all my worries were for naught. Being the only mom in a group of sensational, talented, vivacious women, I was rather nervous about going away for a bachelorette weekend. I’ve partied it up with these ladies…
Keep It Moving With Dramamine
Ever since I can remember, I’ve battled motion sickness. Whether it was a road trip for a family vacation or a plane ride traveling for work, I’d end up feeling nauseous and sometimes getting sick. I’ve tried numerous methods over the years to find some relief including the patch, wristbands, and other over the counter…
Soaking Up Every Moment
When your siblings live thousands of miles away, you have to enjoy every moment together when it happens. Sadly, these moments are just a few times a year for me. I actually speak to my sister-in-law more than my brothers, but hey, we have much more in common! We have kids very close in age,…
Finally Alone, Now What?
My husband and I recently took a quick weekend getaway to New Orleans, for some much needed mom and dad time! It got me thinking how important it really is to make time for one another and to enjoy each other. After almost 10 years together, you really do need to find new ideas and…
Cruising With Baby!
Being the Disney family that we are, my husband and I decided to set sail aboard the Disney Wonder Cruise for a total of five nights with our son who will be two in January. Traveling with a child under two has its perks, considering that they are almost always free. The cost of our…
Flights With A Child Under Two Years
Traveling with a tot under the age of two can be stressful, but it definitely has its perks. Under two years of age, your tiny tot is free to travel. Airlines require proper identification on your little one, so don’t try for a free ticket if your child is over the age of two. If…
Family Hotels: My New Travel Obsession
My husband and I love to travel but have slowed down due to the enormous amount of crap you lug around that comes with a baby. Let’s face it, traveling with a baby SUCKS! Even if you think you have it all down, you can’t predict the occasional, or not-so-occasional, meltdowns. Insert family hotels! Family…
Daddy Diaper Duty At Disney’s Baby Care Center
I am so very fortunate that my husband was able to make it home for our son’s first birthday festivities, including a baby Mickey themed birthday party in Las Vegas, a Dodger themed birthday party in Los Angeles, and a four-night stay at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel with three-day park hopper passes! With my husband working…
