    Traveling with expressed breast milk

    Have you ever been away from your child for an extended period of time? Does the child take expressed milk already? If not...I'd pump and dump. It will be a pain in the butt to bring it home. If you don't have a need for expressed milk at home (as in child uses it daily while you are at...

    Pregnant on Birthday, or Wait for New Baby?

    I wouldn't want to go 7 months pregnant. So I'd either want to go earlier or after baby came.

    If you brought someone to watch your child...

    I would price two options if I were you - A. grandma coming and all her expenses. b. a separate shorter romantic trip for you and your hubs and then your disney trip as a family. Find which might be cheaper and then reconsider. My husband and I took a cruise in April alone and...

    Flights and Tickets...Deal Breakers

    Is it possible to drive? If so, you can do it under your budget. You'll have to pack your own food and be cautious on spending...but I think it's doable if you really want to do it.

    How structured is your Disney trip?

    We're sort of semi planned. Rides aren't a priority for us - my oldest isn't a thrill seeker and my youngest is the size of a one year old - so we'll mostly do baby type rides and try to see all the characters and parades. Other than that it's mostly catch the shows and take in the sights on...

    getting sick when driving long distance

    I get car sick...it doesn't matter the distance, 1 hour, 22 hours. If your wife gets car sick, she's going to get car sick. I highly suggest Bonine. You can get it at any Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, whatever. It's great. You take it once a day - she needs to take it 24 hours before the start...

    Light Up Kids Shoes In Airports...any problems?

    I flew last one year ago...went through a super big airport and a smaller airport. Security at the huge airport was insane. Line was 45 minutes long, we went through that xray scanner thing. Had to remove absolutely everything. Kids included. Security at the smaller airports wasn't...

    Vacation Journal

    The Creative Designs board has a ton of information on it. I love that board. I am making a journal for my kindergartener to keep. I am also making one for myself. They will obviously be very very different. I really suggest you check out everything they have. You will be very impressed!

    Super Sick and leaving for disney in 13 days

    Just FYI to you and anyone else reading - those shots can be given IV as well...so if you have to go again...you may want to ask if there's another way to get them. Having them given IM is very painful. Not that an IV doesn't hurt but an IM injection hurts for days and an IV hurts for a few...

    Packing lunch for a toddler

    I pack my son's lunch every day for school and it stays cold until he gets home (8 hrs). Granted, we aren't in a 100 degree WDW park...but still. Get an insulated lunch bag/box from the store. They work well. Then get one of those ice coolies (are you staying in a resort with a...

    Baby wearing only a onesie?

    They have girl ones - they tend to be ruffly around the legs. But if you already have disney onesies bought, heck go with it. :) Pair it with some cute socks/flip flops or if she has hair a little palm tree pony tail and it's suddenly an outfit.

    Stroller for older kids?

    My oldest is 6 (40 lbs so he's tiny) and he'd never use a stroller on a regular basis. Hasn't since he was about 3 or so. But for all day outings with excessive walking I rent one for him always. That way he can jump in and out if he needs a quick break and we can keep moving. Plus my...

    What do i say????

    Well you can either decide right now if you want to try to convince her they are "real" with some story or just tell her it's all make believe and go with it. She's obviously a bright little girl so if it were my child...I'd tell her that TV characters are not real, they are make believe...

    Baby wearing only a onesie?

    If it were me I'd probably put my baby in a one piece romper type outfit simply because I'd be taking about 1000 pictures a day...and it seems more like clothing than a onesie. However - I see absolutely nothing wrong with a child under 1 wearing a onesie out in public anywhere. Pants are...

    I've read a few posts about "losing the magic" as kids get older. Just had to share..

    I can't imagine "losing the magic". I am about to experience Disney for the first time and I have so much magic flying out of my behind I can't stand it! :banana: My kids are still young enough that they believe the characters are real - I think that's the "magic" people are talking about...

    Calming a homesick child

    Bedtime is a very hard thing for a child. My advise would be to have a sleepover with your niece and her mom first. Then try again with just your niece. She needs to feel safe at your house. Having her mom there first to show her it's okay to sleep there may help. But I don't know that...

    who has put their kid in a backpack harness?

    I used one for my son when he was little anytime we went anywhere with a crowd. He actually wasn't a runner at all. He wanted me to carry him or ride in the stroller all the time. But I was sort of paranoid :blush: and thought someone was going to kidnap him and it made me feel safer. If...

    Do you change your child into PJs at night?

    My kids have to take baths before bed...it's part of their nighttime routine and I don't like them to go to bed dirty. So clean jammies and a bath before bed. But I may take them back to the room for a bath and jammies before fireworks if they are tired and we're just going to go out for...

    Ack! A dilemma...

    My child's last days of preschool were filled with the field trips to the zoo and the fun days with school carnivals and whatnot. Are those kinds of things important to you? I'd ask the teacher if those things are planned that last week first...and then decide if they are important to you...

    Should I skip Animal Kingdom Park?

    We live in the country and drive 45 minutes every day just to get to the nearest town...so a 30 minute ride doesn't seem like a big deal to me! LOL I am super excited about AK. I love animals. We just spent all day at the zoo today actually. I think I am looking forward to AK the most...
