I figure I’m a little unusual in the modern, western world. At 25 months, my son Oliver is still breastfeeding, and last weekend was our first extended separation since his birth.

Last year while in DC over the Christmas holidays, we received a lot of comments on how warm and snuggly Oliver looked in his stroller bag. The stroller bag is a pretty common thing in Germany and the rest of Europe, so I thought I’d introduce you to the company that produces the baby stroller […]

Many times while traveling I have been asked about a sling or carrier that I am using for The Boy. I consider a sling to be an essential part of my travel arsenal. There are times, when traveling, that a child wants nothing but to be carried, and rather than battling the child and luggage, […]
