Last week, Anne was beginning an awkward phase of living with her soon-to-be ex-husband and adjusting to the awkwardness as they wait for their house to sell. This week, Anne is back to work after being on maternity leave.

Thumbnail image for Mega post: How I plan trips with kids

As many people know, I’m a travel freak and I happen to think the kids should come along most of the time. I’m also obsessed with the details and have often said that planning is half the fun.
