Tips for Traveling with Children

We love to travel, and we do it very often. As part of our family mantra we have ultimately refused to slow down on the travel simply because we have kids. Sure we take special care to accommodate our kids when traveling, but we also believe that traveling with them has ultimately allowed them to gain greater perspectives and more experiences even at their young ages.

However, that doesn’t mean traveling with our kids is always easy. In fact, sometimes it can be one of the most difficult issues you’ll face as a family unit.
So before you throw all your family’s possessions into a StorageMart unit in pursuit of the well-traveled life or choose to do something a little less dramatic and settle for a cross country family roadtrip, make sure to keep the following tips in mind to keep your travel stress free:

Toss the Itinerary
Life with children is often unpredictable, and if you struggle getting your kids out the door on time every morning, there is a good chance that you will do the same with them during your vacation. Vacation is a time of relaxation, not one of strict routine. So to keep yourself from stressing about getting to places on time, toss the itinerary out the window. Instead, keep a loose list of the places you and your family would like to go and let it simply serve as guidelines.

Pack Snacks
One minute kids are fine, and the next they are all starving. To reduce hunger pains that can cause crabby behaviors or you to have to pull over for a fatty, sugary, and above all pricey snack at a gas station, remember to pack plenty [Read more…]

Simple Ways to Teach Your Kids to Ski

Skiing can be fantastic exercise, a relaxing winter break, or a heart-pounding extreme sport. The basics
are simple, though it can take a lifetime to master. And the earlier you start your children on the slopes,
the easier they’ll find moving from the beginner’s slope to the black diamonds. There are a few, simple
lessons that can start your children on the skier’s path, insuring they have a fun first day on the ski slopes,
while laying the groundwork for years of skiing enjoyment.

Before your children even strap on their skis, make sure you emphasize the importance of safety. It may
seem boring, or unnecessary, to start so slowly on the ski slope, but it’s hugely important for your children
to pace themselves. Don’t push your kids into attempting things they are afraid of, or uncomfortable
doing. Successful skiing is all about preparation and staying in control, and your child should understand
that from the beginning. Not pushing your children outside of their comfort zone will actually speed up
the learning process, and minimize the chances of injury. Here’s some simple lessons you can start them
off with, before they attempt their first downhill.

Boot drills – Prior to locking on skis, have your child perfect a series of boot drills. Simply walking in
boots (working heel-to-toe) should be the first step. Next you can have your child attempt boot ties, which
involve pushing their heel and toe from side to side while keeping the center of the boot in the [Read more…]

MyPurMist and a Coupon

Have Sippy Disclosure- I have not tried this product, but thought many of you would like to hear about it and would like to try the coupon 🙂
This is a post that was given to me by a representative of PurMist , I did not write it and these are not my opinions.
“It’s cold and allergy season again! And for 119 million US households that are affected that means runny noses, congestion and sinus problems.
While many people find relief using over-the-counter and prescription drugs, they might not realize that something as simple as natural steam can have a profound effect on their respiratory symptoms. We’ve all heard the “old wives’ tales”…hold your baby in the bathroom with the hot shower running if they’re congested; use a humidifier to alleviate cold and sinus issues…but it’s actually proven science! The warm mist opens sinuses by thinning secretions as it hydrates and soothes irritated tissues. No drugs are needed, making it an all-natural and safe decongestant.
But while even doctors agree that steam inhalation is effective in treating some of the most common respiratory conditions, using [Read more…]
