- I'm an (early) 30-something living in the Chicago burbs. I was born and raised in a small town in north-central PA where I spent my days hanging out with the neighborhood kids. I have been married since 2002 and wake up to my husband and two beautiful little girls, Hailey (10/05) and Teagan (7/09) everyday. I'm a WAHM and very much love it! I have been enjoying the online/blogging/parenting world for several years now and just love surrounding myself with people who share the same passion as me. I'm always interested in learning and getting involved. I write a parenting blog called "ParentSphere" (http://www.parentsphere.net) and a family blog called "My Ladybug Picnic" (http://www.myladybugpicnic.com) Thanks for reading about me!

Vacation season is upon us! I don't know about you but we already have the first part of our summer booked up with travel, in and out of the country. I started this circle in the hopes that we can all share traveling tips with each other. What works for you? This is the first time I will be traveling with kids (preschool and infant). I am specifically looking for tips on traveling with the infant. Where have you traveled with your little ones? Can you offer any good suggestions related to airports, flying, hotels, amusement parks, etc.?
