No, I don’t have a bucket I carry around with me while I travel. This is in reference to the movie Bucket List but my list is modified to list the places my husband and I traveled to before we had baby #1, and then a list of the places I would love to [...]
Imagine being in labor and getting stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the hospital. Every pregnant woman`s nightmare, right? Well, apparently not in Bangkok, where police officers are specially trained for this kind of situation.
Police officers delivering babies? In 1993, a special division of the Royal Thai Traffic Police Project was established [...]
We live in America and this week we are visiting our families in the UK. We survived my in-laws, and now it’s my husband’s turn to visit his in-laws, we are now staying with my Mom and Dad.

My husband just asked me what I was doing. I told him, I’m writing about flying with small children. Oh, my husband said, that’s easy. They don’t serve alcohol on domestic flights any more, but they still [...]
My husband and I are British, and we live in the Midwestern US with our toddler. All our families, including the in-laws, are back home in Britain, 3000 miles away. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? I’m not sure.
I have friends who’s entire family, and all the in-laws, live in a [...]
