4) Where did you honeymoon? We stayed at Atlantis in the Bahamas
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days? I like to take him to animal parks, but for just everyday activities I like to just walk around the woods and let him explore (pick flowers, look for roly-poly's, pick up rocks, etc)

2) Do you have any trips planned?
Just Miami, some trips down the Cape, and defintely a trip to NH with DD
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
Hawaii, or Bora Bora. Actually the only thing stopping us from going is the length of the flight. H does not like to fly anywhere that takes less more than 6 hours.
4) Where did you honeymoon?
1 week in Antigua and 1 week in St. Kitt's. Actually my friend is getting married this summer and doing the same trip in reverse!
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days?
Take her to the zoo and/or petting zoo. I love seeing her reaction to the animals!

1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
Being a SAHM - I'm a teacher
2) Do you have any trips planned?
After school ends (6/27), we're going to my mom's for 2-3 weeks. She lives near the beach in NC, so it should be very relaxing. Then in August we're going to Maui, HI and San Fran. I'm looking forward to it, but so nervous about leaving P for 9 days!
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
Back to Italy to see the areas I haven't yet seen (Lake Como and Venice) and then maybe Greece
4) Where did you honeymoon?
Italy - Florence, Tuscany, Almafi Coast, and Rome
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days?
I'm going to steal Colleen's answer - the petting zoo. She gets such joy from seeing every animal.

5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days? We like to play with sidewalk chalk, play in the sprinkler and go swimming.
1. Having a backyard finally! We've been in this house for 2 years and are just now getting our yard in (close to 1/2 an acre) and it's been a lot of fun already. Nice to be able to actually enjoy the space we have for once.
2. Costa Rica in 2 weeks for my 30th!
3. Spending a summer aboard a yacht right off the coast of Santorini.
4. We didn't really take a honeymoon, actually. This trip to Costa Rica is basically being treated as one & I must be honest, the anticipation of all the vacation sex we plan on having is really heavy in the air right now. So yea, finally taking our honeymoon - 7 years later.
5. Love taking LO and spending time outdoors with water. He loves the sprinklers, his water table, anything with water is a big deal right now and he starts swim lessons up again next week. We also love taking him to see airplanes at a small airport in town. The kid is seriously obsessed with airplanes and will point them out when he hears/sees them. We call him our little pilot.
1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
Moving into our new house!
2) Do you have any trips planned?
Nope. We had planned to go to Florida for a little beach time, but the move is happening at the same time as we would have been going.
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
A full tour of Europe.
4) Where did you honeymoon? Australia (Sydney, Port Douglas, and Whitsunday Islands)
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days? Daytrips to the zoo. She loves it. There is a children's zoo with a petting zoo and a "creekbed" to play in.
1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
Enjoying a toddler during the warmer temps. Last year was fun taking her to the pool, but it will be a whole new level of awesome now that she's more interactive.
2) Do you have any trips planned?
We are planning our trip to MN this August for my 5k, family visiting, and a GTG with our northern bumpies
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
If money (and anxiety) weren't an issue, I'd love to Eurotrip.

We had a simple getaway to the Ozarks. It was such a relaxing, easy trip. We loved it!

Hey girl hey! TB was blocked at my work too, but I found a workaround. It's too hard to use the mobile site.
I really, really want to go to Australia too!

What were the questions again?
Looking forward to a slower work schedule. We have summer school at my campus but there are much less kids.
If money were no issue, I'd love to do an African safari.
I honeymooned in a cabin in the mountains in western Virginia.
Favorite thing to do with little man is go hiking. We put him in a backpack carrier and go on long hikes every Sunday, and he loves it. He gets a great view, and points out all the birds and trees.
I think I remembered all the questions...
I'm looking forward to having this baby and completing our family. Also, I'm dying for a cocktail or beer!!
No trips planned, just some day trips here and there.
If money were no issue I would love to rent a huge RV and drive cross country!
For our honeymoon, We did an Alaskan cruise out of Seattle.
Lately, I love being outside with P. We go for walks, play with his water and sand tables and he loves the garden hose!
I think that's everything.
ahh! Hey! Love the picture.
1) What are you looking forward to this summer? Sadly nothing. It stinks being a grownup without summer vacation!

EDD July 1, 2015
We honeymooned there, lived in Melbourne for a year, and still didn't get to see all of it! I hope we are able to go back once the LOs are older. It's a killer flight so we won't be doing it for a long time.
1. DH has promised to grill every weekend!
2. We're going to Vegas - just the two of us in July and Hawaii in the fall.
3. Fiji with a nanny for E so she could come with us, but we could do grownup stuff too.
4. Puerta Vallarta
5. Cuddle. I love any time she wants to snuggle up and read a book or watch a show. It's great!
1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
I might not have a job in a few weeks due to a reduction in our grant (we are all re-interviewing for our jobs this week). I'm actually starting to look forward to not working. We have had this black cloud of losing our jobs over our heads since December. It's so stressful. I'm sort of hoping I get laid off and can stay home with the kids for the summer (although I'll regret it after a week home with a terrible toddler and whiny pre-teen 8 year old).
2) Do you have any trips planned?
We are going to Corpus Christi for DH's birthday/Father's Day. I'm super excited. Our hotel is on the beach, has a great pool and beach huts, outside shower (rinsing off after the beach) and is right next to the Texas State Aquarium. This is our first fun family trip without family obligations.
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
Dominican Republic or Greece. I've been nowhere, so really anywhere other than TX/OK/Iowa would be fabulous.
4) Where did you honeymoon?
Nowhere. We eloped and DH had a guy's trip planned for the next week several months before we got married. After our wedding DH had a week long training for work, so all we got was one night at the Hilton (where his family was staying... awkward.).
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days?
He is HILARIOUS. He is picking up SO MANY WORDS this last week. Tonight he was pointing at a pot of boiling noodles mumbling. Most of the time he calls it bubbles but he was saying "smoke" and "hot" - I don't know where he learned that. We didn't teach him. He also makes hilarious faces and rolls his eyes. He's such a ham. He peed on the potty three times this week! (and to be fair, the floor probably 4-5 times). I do NOT enjoy the sleep fighting, the "crib beaver" eating his crib, and the overall ninja/fighting the diaper changes.
Woodsie: I love that picture and now I want a tropical vacation! (and my dream vacations involve either my husband or girlfriends only.)
1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
Two days in Seattle with husband and baby to hang and go to a baseball game. Nice weather and being on mat leave with both chirrun (although that is also terrifying),
2) Do you have any trips planned?
Seattle (see above), probably some weekends at Whistler, heading to NYC for five days in Sept for a wedding (taking only new kid, older one is staying at home).
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
Bali, probably, sans les enfants.
4) Where did you honeymoon?
BC wine country for wine tasting/buying and golf.
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days?
He is SO CUTE these days. I love reading with him, and "watering the garden" (filling up cups or the watering can at the water table and pouring it on the garden). He is just so much fun and I love watching him with baby C. He loves him so much and just started saying brother (well, bruruh) which made my insides melt.
Is anyone here today? How about a GTKY....
1) What are you looking forward to this summer? Nice weather!
2) Do you have any trips planned? A few camping/boating trips
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip? Fiji
4) Where did you honeymoon? Not married
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days? Play outside
1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
Everything! MH is laid off right now which sucks, but at least it's during the summer so we can have plenty of family adventures.
2) Do you have any trips planned?
Storyland (mini Disneyland for kids in NH) so far. DD especially is going to lose her mind there!
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
Europe, with just MH. He's never been and I've only been to Spain in high school.
4) Where did you honeymoon? Aruba
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days?
dance parties to cheesy music! My kids have some moves!
I finally have time to answer this one! I've been wanting to since you posted it 3 days ago haha..
1) What are you looking forward to this summer?
It will be fun to see how L is around the pool/ocean this year. Last year she was just a happy little blob that didn't really "get" the pool thing.. this year, she will either love it or absolutely hate it. Either way, it will be fun to watch.
2) Do you have any trips planned?
Sadly, no. We are trying to save as much money as humanly possible for a house. We also have 2 weddings that we are in (I'm in 1, DH the other) in September, so we have to save for those, too.
3) If money and time were not an issue, where would be your dream trip?
That's a toss up between Costa Rica and a trip to Europe. One of my best friend's is travelling around Europe now and I'm wicked jealous!
4) Where did you honeymoon?
We actually haven't had a honeymoon yet. We've been married a little over 2 years and for this past Mother's Day, MH surprised me with a cruise! We don't go until October 2014, which is fine with me, because I'm one of those crazy moms who get super anxious leaving her kids if they're under a year old. Seriously. The first time I spent away from L was when I was in the hospital to have H.
5) What's your favorite thing to do with your LO(s) these days?
I love watching her "read" books. She narrates the whole thing in gibberish and it is the cutest thing. She loves coloring and will sometimes sing when she's doing it.. again.. wicked cute. Oh, and she LOVES bubbles, or "bubbows" ... cracks up every time.
