Tokyo experience – Part 1

We are 6 days into our trip to Japan and it has been so fun and unpredictable. Traveling with a toddler is an adventure in itself for sure! If there is one thing I’m learning is what a lesson in flexibility and patience it is to travel with a baby. Lots of patience. Celeste has… Continue reading Tokyo experience – Part 1

The Countdown to Japan Begins

I cannot believe that in exactly two weeks we will be standing on Japanese soil. I can’t even visualize that in my head. I can’t even visualize sitting on an airplane with my husband and our almost 2 1/2 year old daughter. My brain just can’t seem to grasp around that idea, probably because it… Continue reading The Countdown to Japan Begins

A Plane, A Toddler, & Two Inexperienced Parents

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share this, but it’s official, we are going to Japan! With our toddler. On a plane. For the first time. Woohoo!!!

Idyllwild – Pine Cove

I started to write this post during one of my many moments of rest during our family getaway to Idyllwild. We’re back home now and pretty much settled in and I thought I would share some of our pictures and finish the thoughts I started… Today is our third day in Idyllwild and it has been such… Continue reading Idyllwild – Pine Cove

Time for a family getaway

I really shouldn’t be blogging at this hour. Actually I should have been in bed an hour ago, but I’m too excited (thus way alert) to fall asleep just yet anyway. I know my limitations though so I won’t make this too long. Tomorrow my husband, daughter, and our bulldog Biggie are off on a… Continue reading Time for a family getaway

Traveling And Appreciating What You Have

After a long day of travel my husband and I got home last night at 10pm, exhausted and so happy to walk through our door and get that feeling of home. I can’t even explain it but maybe some of you have felt it, it’s like a loving hug. Our flight from Paris to Los Angeles… Continue reading Traveling And Appreciating What You Have

Napping On A Cobblestone Floor and More Explorations

My dogs are barking! We have done so much walking and exploring between yesterday and today that my calves are sore. The good thing is we’ve also been taking a lot of breaks in between and I’ve even napped on a cobblestone floor on the Ile St. Louis overlooking the Seine River while my husband… Continue reading Napping On A Cobblestone Floor and More Explorations

Connected, in Paris

Figured out how to connect to our hotel’s free WiFi, woohoo! It’s Sunday here in Paris and my husband and I are relaxing in our room before starting the day. We’re staying at this really cute and Eco friendly hotel named Eiffel Seine which is like 5 minutes walking distance to the Eiffel Tower. It’s… Continue reading Connected, in Paris

Ready To Go

Well we got all our stuff ready to go for our trip to Paris and dropped off Biggie at his vet/boarding place. It sure feels weird not having that little beast running around here and getting into everything. Unfortunately I didn’t get any posts ready ahead of time so it looks like I will be on hiatus until… Continue reading Ready To Go

I Love Paris In The Springtime, I Love Paris In The Fall…

It’s time to polish up my French because my husband and I are off to Paris! Woohoo, or should I say, oh la la. Last night we cancelled our trip to Japan and booked our flight and hotel to Paris. I’m really excited because Paris was my second pick when we were deciding where to go for Spring break. Both… Continue reading I Love Paris In The Springtime, I Love Paris In The Fall…
