Of all of life’s little pleasures that are disappearing in the digital age, the art of receiving a hand-written postcard may be near the top of the list of those which will be most missed. Sending postcards may seem like a waste of time when you can instantly share your visual experiences through social media, emails, and

The first trip we ever took with kids was when our daughter Alexa was six-weeks-old. Traveling is one of the things I am most passionate about and I decided early on that the sooner we started to travel with kids the better–that way we wouldn’t be afraid of the unknown. I remember thinking the first couple trips were so
