Read MoreAn Afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch
Fall is here! And there’s no better way to celebrate Fall than spend the afternoon at a pumpkin patch.
Last week, we headed over to The Pumpkin Factory at Live Oak Canyon Farms to welcome Fall. The babies rode ponies, petted animals, and ran around taking in all the sites and sounds!
Read MoreWhy You NEED to Travel With a Stroller
I dunno about you, but I’m a stroller person. I love them and it’s my go-to for transporting Koko around.
Once we started flying with our little guy at eight weeks old, leaving the stroller at home wasn’t an option. And now over a year later, I’m still 100% sold on traveling with strollers (only now we leave the Uppababy at home take our tiny little Nano).

Read MoreThe Storms We Will Never Forget: A Walking Tour of Hyde Park
We looked outside our hotel window to the hustle and bustle of the streets in Hyde Park. It was 50-something degrees with gray skies and misty sprinkles in the air. Within five minutes or so we saw the sun. The weather seemed to be playing tricks on us as it was completely unpredictable. This is a rather typical occurrence in London I’m told. One minute it can be sunny, the next it can be gray and raining. This isn’t the best scenario when traveling with babies because that means you can’t travel as lightly.

Three Countries. Two Packing Cubes. One carry-on.
That’s right, only two packing cubes. One for Koko and one for me. And everything else we need (including diapers) fits into a single little carry-on.
