Today I picked up Little One from daycare and decided that we needed to do things a bit differently. We wouldn’t go to the park and see the same people who we see every day but barely acknowledge.

The #1 Reason Traveling with a Baby was So Different
For our first trip together, Ben and I chose to go to Romania.
