Are you packing it up for the HOlidays? Get some help. Because, going anywhere away from the house (Yes I mean ANYWHERE- like a short drive for a Happy Meal) can be a tough one. I've taken my kids by plane, train, automobile & ship! Isabel was on a cruise in the Bahamas by age 4 months! Took me 30 years to get on a cruise like that! Right?

I'll leave the "tips" to the experts. But here are my "Traveling With Kids" Warnings: 

#1 Be prepaired to lug more crap around than you ever have before in your life.

#2Know you are going to forget something, somehing IMPORTANT, and it's nobody's fault ;) Trust me.

#3 Lastly, remember to take tons of pictures, good or bad, these are the stories & memories your family will treasure forever. ♥Kristin
