Since we are only about 2 hours from Little Rock, Arkansas, we decided to make a day trip road trip. We had grand plans to do and see much more than we accomplished but we still had fun.

Here is what we planned to do: Museum of Discovery Bill Clinton Presidential Library Little Rock Central High School Little Rock Zoo Here is what we were able to do: Museum of Discovery This was a must on our … [Read more...]
Will These Kids Always Get Sick?
We are in the third month of the year and so far, each month has resulted in the kids being sick. It is making me wonder - will these kids of mine always get sick so easily? Is dealing with sickness the norm for most families? We travel so much and expose them to so many germs that I wonder if we are a bit at fault. Maybe I should be making sure they eat healthier, sanitize more, and wash hands religiously? We are having a great seminar in Arkansas this month. We opened with about 140 people … [Read more...]
6 Tips for Breastfeeding On the Go
We travel. A lot. I breastfeed. A lot. My Little Man is 9 months old and I am planning to breastfeed him until he is two. Here are my Tips for Breastfeeding On the Go: 1. Feed him when you can.

Traveling to Arkansas
We have arrived in the great state of Arkansas! We are on the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma in the city of Fort Smith.

The layover was short and due to ice we arrived late. We ran through the airport in Dallas to board last on a small airplane. Boy, was it hot! Once we took off, my Little Man fell asleep the entire rest of the … [Read more...]
Family Packing Tips
We were home from Northern California for two days and now we are off again. This time on a flight to Arkansas. Yes, we will be in Arkansas for the next month and I am pretty excited. We are living in a furnished apartment downtown with cable television and wi-fi. We will have nice weather when we arrive and I am looking forward to Spring sunshine! After unpacking, going through our mail and repacking for the hundreth time (or so it seems) I thought it was time I posted a list of family … [Read more...]
7 Friendship Quotes That You Need to Read
One of the hardest things about life on the road is maintaining friendships. I am not good at it. I miss my friends. Girls night out... Real life communication... It gets lost while traveling from city to city. Relationships take time. Investment. Cultivation. We were created for personal relationships by a God who also craves one with us. Do you ever think all this social media has driven us all further apart rather than together? In many ways, social media has been great keeping up … [Read more...]
