The Mother of All Trips started in June 2008, as my family was preparing to go on a two-week trip to Paris. Really though, it started five years earlier, when my husband Matt and I spent 13 months traveling with our then one-year-old son Tommy. I wrote a book about that experience, and you'll also find that lots of the stories from that time turn up here. Throw in my many dreams of places I'd like to visit, the day trips we often take, and a host of posts about the best places to eat ice cream and you'll find there's a lot to read.

Please stop by there and check out the other wonderful posts. In case you are wondering what we will [...]

Happy Holidays!

I’m going to sign off for a couple of days to wrap gifts, address the rest of my Christmas cards, and make Swedish meatballs, oyster stew, and cinnamon rolls. But before I do, I want to wish each and every one of my readers a very happy holiday season, whatever they may celebrate and in [...]

A change in plans

I posted early in December that for the first time since I started this blog, my family was going to go four or five weeks without any travel by any member. I talked in what I hope were poetic terms about the journey of Advent and how I planned to take pleasure in the quiet [...]
