Photo Friday-Starting Photo Traditions

Posted on April 27, 2012 by Beth Henry

One of the things Ella likes to do is kiss the plane before boarding (She started it on her own when she was just two.) I’ve taken many pictures of her doing that and it’s fun to look at them and see her maturing as time passes. (For her video “Kiss The Plane”, click HERE.) … Continue reading »

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Beth Henry

This year we moved from San Diego to New York in March and have been without a home (but not homeless…living with my in-laws).

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Beth Henry

I would guess that about 7 of 10 of you Cloud Surfing Parents could really use a nice cup of joe when traveling with your kids. Am I right? This was a nice Dunkin Donuts stand located right in JFK baggage claim. Ella saw the big cup and went over for a “sip”. Pretty funny. … Continue reading »

Photo Friday: Stop and Smell the Flowers

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Beth Henry

When you’re traveling with small children every moment is occupied. It just hit me last week: A vacation with children is not a vacation FROM the children. I always have the grand idea that during week away with Ella I’ll read 2-3 books, write a few blog posts, and clean out my email inbox, which currently has 9,631 … Continue reading »

Dressing for Travel (Video)

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Beth Henry

Remember the days when people dressed up for travel?  We all like to dress for comfort. But being comfortable doesn’t have to mean looking like a slob.
