Regular readers of this blog (hi Mom!) can't have failed to notice that the Pearson family loves animals. So it should come as no surprise that we've visited a petting zoo or two in our travels.

A few weeks ago, I received a friendly PR email asking me if I would like to review a light weight, acrylic travel shawl. I love free stuff, so naturally I perked right up.

We've been absolutely itching to post about the Happiest Place on Earth, but were waiting for exactly the right writer to come along. And now she has.

Last night in bed, I attempted to read the following story aloud to my husband. For 10 minutes I yelped and wheezed with laughter as I tried to get through the funny parts. It's anybody's guess why he didn't just smother me with a pillow.

Do you read Linda at All & Sundry? You should.
But not when your mouth is full.

The waiters wear pajamas. Cocoa Puffs are on the menu. The good news? You don’t have to feed your kids the dreaded personal pan pizza anymore. The bad news? You’re about to pay $7 for a bowl of cereal.

My children are hard-bellied, seasoned travelers. Except when they're not. Not long ago, I was traveling alone with them from San Francisco to London. Half an hour into the flight, my 2-year-old daughter spilled yogurt all over me.

I have a good friend whose father is an otologist (an ear doctor who specializes in hearing loss). When she was growing up, he made her and her three sisters wear ear plugs every time they dried their hair with a blowdryer. "Hearing loss is cumulative," he used to tell them, as he bought earplugs by the case.

I am not one to look back or return to the same places. I am all for new horizons and exploration. Really, I am. Yet in June, I found myself back at Dover Castle, in Kent, England, for the second time in two years. And within two hours (possibly less) I realized we would probably be coming back for years.

In a perfect world, none of us would ever have to lift a finger on vacation. Other people would do the cooking, the cleaning, and--above all--the laundry.
I don't know about you, but I don't live in a perfect world.
