Paris


Paris...my favorite city ever!We spent time here too about 3 years ago, when we got married so we wanted to enjoy the city slowly and try a few new things here rather than hit up all the tourist spots. 


That being said, we started with a new site...Disneyland Paris!


Kevin is a big Disney person, so we both thought it would be fun for him to enjoy the park. I'd never been either, so I was happy to go! Yes, we had a few troubles with the park and what they would allow pregnant women to do (some of their rules are a little extreme) but we had a great time nevertheless. 

 Our next day started out very early, as we hired our wedding photographer again to do a quick photo session with us now that we are celebrating this fun new milestone...having a baby! We love this photographer, and would go back to him year after year if he only lived closer :)



Then we ate some crepes enjoying early morning Paris, walked around the Eiffel Tower, visited the Louvre, Notre Dame, Shakespeare & Co (a bookstore), Arc de Triumph and ended the day back at the Eiffel Tower to see the tower light up and sparkle!





The next day we had just the morning to enjoy Paris, which we headed off to Monmatre where I proudly hiked up all the steps to Sacre Coeur. We had a number of our wedding photos here 3 years ago, so we revisited a few of the spots our photographer used as photos for our wedding. 

And now we are off for our last stop...Zurich!

Traveling with Kids: Setting them up for successful flight

Each flight we take with our kids, we are often overwhelmed by fellow passengers commenting on how great our children travel. I won't even pretend that it has anything to do with my parenting or my children's innate ability to be good travelers. By no means does that come without a lot of behind the scenes work, thought and preparation. Our children are not naturally good travelers...rather we do everything possible to set them up for a successful (i.e. enjoyable, quiet, and somewhat relaxing) flight.

Do you want a toddler that doesn't make a peep when you travel? How about a baby who doesn't fuss too much? Here are a few of our secrets to setting your children up for a successful flight
It starts before you even book your trip. 
Schedule your flight at a time that works well with your child's sleep schedule. That means no getting in at midnight, no leaving at 5 a.m...and for us we often try to avoid nap time as much as possible (once are kids are down to 1 nap a day…

Things You Learn About The Newborn Phase The Second Time Around

Look, we've all been there. As a first time mom you are totally crazy. You need every little thing imaginable to be able to raise your baby. Your baby has more places to be set down than you have chairs for everyone  else in your house...crib, saucer, bumbo, highchair, rock-n-play, play mat, swing...you get my point.
Now second time around, you might just do things a little differently! Here are a few things I learned my second time around:


My biggest secret? Your baby wakes up less at night the lower you turn down the monitor volume.
Think on that a minute...does that make me a bad mom? No! It means that I'm not waking up at every little thing! And allows Pepper learn to put herself back to sleep on her own after playing/talking a bit.



Don't even bother buying a baby book or it will be filled with "Date baby laughed 3 months?"  Yep..the question mark is actually written in the baby book, because I'm not 100% sure when she laughed. 

You will forget everything tha…

Omaha Performing Arts: WeBop

If you're anything like me, you want to find all kinds of activities for your kids to get involved in as a way to educate, entertain and cultivate their physical and mental growth. For little ones, sometimes that is difficult to find. We've explored swim classes, sports, gymnastics...all great things, but we really wanted to look at something else for Lorelai to experience.



Music is such an important part of a child's life. Personally I believe that my involvement in music at a young age made me more successful and well-rounded! Due to involvement in choir, musicals and band I was able to gain confidence at a young age for public speaking, since I was familiar with standing in front of an audience. I also feel that reading music is such a great skill for children to learn as they grow older, along with familiarity with instruments, and to appreciate the arts. Not only that, music can help a child learn and retain information (example...do you still sing your ABC's in y…
