Traveling is stressful for baby and you.  Travel is a busy and stressful time. If you are dragging baby around with you, it will also be stressful times for baby.

If you are going to a family reunion, all those people could make baby get over active.  If you are in a cold climate, make sure that you don’t overheat the baby’s bedroom. This will cause baby not to sleep comfortably.

Traveling with baby by plane is something that would make me shudder.

Now a-days there are so many travel delays that you better be well prepared for. Recently my brother had to go to another State on business. He usually takes his wife and very young child.

He was so thankful that they did not go along this time because he had so many delays, layovers and lost connections that he did not even know how they could have made it through a very tough time.

And now I invite you to read the article I wrote on traveling with your baby. Just click the link below for great tips.

Do you know how Mother’s Day got started?

It appears it all began in the 1880’s and connected to the sons who had died during the Civil War. The women involved were connected to peace groups.

Would you believe that Mother’s Day is an actual “Holiday” it was set aside as a day  for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war. How appropriate it still is in these days.

Carnations became the flower of the day. Mainly because it was the founder, Anna Jarvis’ mother’s favorite flower.

If your mother is still living you would wear a red carnation. If your mother has passed on a white one would be worn.

My mom passed on a few years ago but before her death we all showered her with flowers and gifts we cooked up a great dinner where all who loved her came over to celebrate.

I miss celebrating that holiday.
