Gah. One more thing to worry about…
Travel Vaccinations for Babies & Toddlers
Once I got a notice that my son’s vaccination records needed updating before he could enter Grade 2. Yes, that adorably chubby baby who took his first trip at a mere 10 weeks (Quebec City, if you’re curious) was 7-years-old! Fortunately, I knew he was up-to-date on his vaccinations. It was a matter of phoning the Public Health office and updating their records. Easy peasy.

Visiting Disney World with Toddlers
Once upon a time, way back when our daughter was almost three, she was (and still is!) an absolute Cinderella nut. This is why we decided to make the effort to include Walt Disney World during our trip to Florida. We all had a great time, in no short part due to the fact that I had an ace up my sleeve: my friend Sandra. Sandra and her family have visited Walt Disney World and other Disney vacation properties countless times. She shared with me some invaluable tips for Disney World with toddlers.

7 Tips for Sun Safety for Babies and Toddlers + What to Bring to the Beach
We love the beach. So we had to figure out sun safety for babies and toddlers.
A Sand-Proof Bubble, Anyone?
But truthfully, my first instinct when it came to my daughter was to keep her in a bubble, safe from dirt, germs, bugs, and anything else that I couldn’t control. But here’s the thing: we love the outdoors. The beach being a particular favourite. So, I had to come to terms with the fact that my baby would get dirty, put things in her mouth, and taste a handful or two of sand.
I’ve loosened up enough to let m ..read more

Many thanks to Jesse Neugarten, founder of Dollar Flight Club, for this guest post.
One of the big barriers to entry for travel is the expense. And obviously, adding a small person to your travel party increases that expense! Hopefully these money-saving tips for booking flights with babies and toddlers will help.
Money-Saving Tips for Booking Flights with Babies & Toddlers
It’s a lot of fun to travel around the world with your kids. (It’s at least a little bit stressful, too, to be fair.)

How to Avoid Getting Sick on Vacation
Occasionally we’ve been cursed with a horrific gastro bug ripping through the house. Usually I’m the last one to get it. I’ll sit smug in the knowledge of my superior handwashing protocols. Then I’m the one flattened for days, instead of for about 18 hours.
Sick on Vacation Sucks
Imagine how upset and frustrated you’d be if this was you on your one and only week away with the kids? Instead of playing at the beach or pool, you’re shivering in your “towel nest” on the bathroom floor?
I’ve been there. Fun times!
FYI: Disney-speak for a puddle of vomit is, “P ..read more

Visiting Paris with a toddler is a dream for many. I’m delighted to publish another story by my dear friend and former co-worker Andrea Chrysanthou.
Andrea works full-time and has two big kids and a little. She is definitely a busy mom who needs and wants a proper vacation with the whole family! I loved her Nickelodeon Punta Cana Review, and I’m pleased she offered to share another family vacation story with us!

Exploring Edmonton with a Toddler
I can’t believe how long it’s been since our road trip across Alberta. We have family there and the last stop of our journey was Edmonton for a most beautiful occasion: my sister-in-law’s wedding. Her special day was the reason we were bringing the kids out West in the first place. And what better excuse to see the beautiful province that their dad is from?!

Once upon a time…
Traveling with a baby was important to me. And I was certain I would be the kind of mom who’d just pick up and go! My mom and I flew back to Scotland annually for most of my life. While we were there we’d explore Great Britain. Travel was always a big part of my life and in the early days of parenthood we really wanted to still travel.
Our first trip with baby…
Our first trip was great. Really wonderful.
Planning it gave me the idea to launch Have Baby Will Travel.
Was it easy? Absolutely not!
Prior to leaving, I fretted and fussed. We packed so, so much. I cried, more than ..read more
