Guest Post! Berlin With Baby…
I’m delighted to put up our very first guest post!
Tracey went to Germany with her husband and baby boy. They rented an apartment for part of their stay, and they had a wonderful time. Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us, Tracey!
Berlin like a Berliner
Last year my husband and I took a trip to Germany with our 8-month-old son. We had extended family there and we felt it was a great time to travel – before the little guy could walk or voice his displeasure with the choice of activities.

What I fed my family in Quebec City (Part 1)…
In the grand scheme of international cuisine, the French are up there with their Michelin stars and their Zagat bias… Now Quebec City is a little slice of Paris with plenty of charming cafés and elegant bistros, but when you’re feeding a family (that includes a sometimes fussy preschooler), you don’t always want charming or elegant. You need fast, you need fresh, and you need healthy - at least most of the time. Notice I said ”most”…
Yes, I fed my daughter this for lunch.

A mule to carry it all would be nice too!
In my ’20s I traveled for 6 weeks through Europe with one backpack that I carried myself. For our week-long honeymoon, my husband and I took one large suitcase between us. Just over 2 years later, my husband, 11-month-old daughter, and I had an overflowing luggage cart that held 2 large suitcases (overweight), 2 stuffed-to-the-brim carry-ons, and a car seat. In hindsight, we should have added our playpen to the pile, since the hotel-issued crib for that trip was pretty wobbly.
My husband was mortified, but he soon realized that this wasn’t just me bringing along 10 pairs of shoes I’d never wear… we NEEDED this stuff! We were traveling to Cuba, where baby items that we deem necessities are difficult to come by, so the bags were stuffed with diapers, lotions, potions, baby food, bottles, food, etc. I’ll grant that I do tend to over-prepare and over-think things, but the point of getting away is to have a break, so with these things taken care of you can start to relax once you’re there.
In our subsequent travels with our daughter, I’ve learned that there are some things that can make your life a whole lot easier while you’re away with baby – for eating, sleeping, playing, and getting around…
