Sometimes you just never know with kids- you plan the coolest stuff you think they’ll love and it ends up being a total bust. On this occasion we had quite the opposite experience! Tilbury Fort was a random find en-route to another destination, that I knew was going to be free! So we tried it…with Continue reading

I always find it so curious to observe what the kids photograph. What interests them and why they want to preserve it. Or maybe they just like playing with smart phones. Anyways, I love photographing them…and apparently, they do too!! Our visit to Stonehenge turned into quite the selfie-fest! Go on parents, give it a Continue reading

First Bri’ish road trip! Wowie did we pack our car full to the brim! We took a week to travel through southern England and hit up a few must-do’s along the way! First stop: Legoland, of course.

Given T1’s accent, I thought you guys had already lived there.” I was like, ‘What? Does my kid have an accent?!’ Strangely, she was Continue reading

We made it to our new home! It was simple, really. Completely uncomplicated. No, we did not bribe unnamed people in Pennsylvania to get T3’s birth certificate five days after he was born. No, we did not stress every single day about the arrival of his passport. No, we did not have to rent a Continue reading
