Before we went to Florida, I must have done about 972 Google searches on how to do Disney with a toddler. Here's the most frustrating thing about it: You just need to prepare yourself for any situation, and you'll be fine. I'm really happy with how our trip went, so I hope my advice might help another mama getting ready for a similar trip. We started the trip with somewhat of a mantra: Go with the flow. That would definitely be my main piece of advice for Disney World with a toddler, but I …

There was still a LOT I needed to figure out. Like, for starters, how many dogs can I fit in the back?

My beloved Jetta had been totaled by someone rear-ending me on my way to work (another story for another time), and so I …
Flying with a Baby

We have stuck to that, for the most part, so I'm sharing some tips today on flying with a baby in the hopes that it will help you feel a little more at ease about your travels! First, let's talk about when is the best time to travel with a baby. For us, 4-6 months was …
