Traveling with Kids

Its summer time and everyone is off traveling. Weather its a day trip or week long vacation, there are many ways to travel light with kids.



Many vehicles today don't have much room for storage so why fill half the room with a stroller? Instead pack a Moby Wrap or Asian style carrier to tote your young one around. These carriers or ergonomically correct, very comfortable for both parent and child and very compact. Pictured to the left is a Baby Hawk Asian Style Carrier. This carrier holds up to 40 lbs or as long as you can comfortably carry them.

The Totseat is another great invention. No need to look around for a high chair at every restuarant or worry about where baby is going to sit to eat at a relatives house. This squashable, washable, highchair comes with its own small travel bag and can fit on any style chair to place child right up to the table.

• Klean Kanteen stainless steal sippy cups and bottles are perfect for bringing liquids along. Stainless Steal doen't leach any harmful chemicals into your beverage like other materials. Pair your bottle with the Sippy Pal and your childs beverage will always stay close by. The Sippy Pal is a unique strap that attaches your bottle or toy to your car seat or anywhere else you would like to fasten it to.
  

Hand Blown Glass

Glistening in our window are an array of beautifully handcrafted blown glass globes. Each globe is uniquely different with its own colors and character. Part of the globe collection is the Tree of Enchantment collection. Each globe has a special meaning of Strength, Family, Life, Faith, love, Peace or Joy.

These globes along with several other pieces such as diffusers, bowls and vases come from Canada where the artist take pride in being earth conscience and use recycled glass whenever possible.

Any one of these work of art would make a perfect gift to anyone for any occasion!

Race Day!

Race Day came and went on April 11. We woke up early as we needed to be there by 8:30 am. It was cloudy out but overall not to bad. After getting our race numbers and picking up our shirts, which did I mention how awesome our logo looked on the back?, we followed the other 2oo + people to the start line. Don't you know the second we got there the skies opened up and rain poured down on us. The horn blew and we were off! It was at about 1.5 miles that my shoes were tossing out water with every step. The rain was not going to let up. But we did it! 3.5 miles soaked we crossed the finish line. YIPPY! Now I'm off to the next one. Not sure yet when and where that will be but hopefully it will be on a sunny day.

Day 4 of Training

It was about a week ago I had thoughts of doing this race. Mentioning it to a close friend, his first response was a laugh, which was very much expected. Thinking he was going to talk me out of it, I was surprised by his next response, " you better hit the pavement". I think I hate him now. Haha.
It was about 7:30 am when I got my start this morning. More cars were out on the road this time. As I crossed the street glancing up to wave thank you, I couldn't believe what I saw. A middle aged woman with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. WHAT! Wow it's 2009 people! Who still smokes? Completely shocked I started to look into the cars of the many that passed me and couldn't believe how many were doing just the same. Here I am thinking I am a very healthy young person struggling to run a race for a cure for children born with a heart condition and these people are actively trying to give themselves a heart condition.
Lets just hope my next day out I will see more people drinking water on there travels to work rather than a cancer stick! Lets also hope I will be less sore and able to jog much further!
