This thing has made flying with my kids so much calmer

Hey Reader!

A while back I discovered Cloud Nine sweatshirts and bought them for both my boys. They've since worn them on planes, to school, and basically everywhere in between.

These sweatshirts are weighted, which sounds simple, but the difference for kids with anxiety or ADHD is real. That gentle pressure is genuinely calming, and for long travel days, that matters a lot. My boys are not always easy travelers. Having something that helps them feel settled without me having to do anything is kind of a game changer.

They're also just really comfortable. Soft, well-made, not at all like they're wearing some kind of therapeutic product. They look completely normal and my kids actually want to wear them, which if you have school-age boys you know is not a guaranteed thing.

We take them on every trip now. Flights, road trips, even just longer days out when we know there's a lot of transitions and stimulation coming.

If this sounds like something your family might benefit from, you can use my link for 10% off: Shop Cloud Nine sweatshirts here​

Hey Reader, My friend and I just got back from Cusco a few weeks ago and I tried to book a Flytographer session while we were there. The timing didn't come together and we ended up without one. I am already annoyed about it. We have done Flytographer 20+ times over the years and every single time I look at those photos I am so glad we did it. They are the photos that actually live in our house. The ones that make it into the Christmas card. The ones where I am actually IN the picture instead...

Hey Reader, We are huge Disneyland people. Like, embarrassingly huge. It is basically a second home for us at this point. But every single time we go, the prices have crept up again. Tickets, food, parking, the inevitable moment in the gift shop where your kid finds the one thing that costs $45 and looks you dead in the eyes. It adds up so fast. I have spent years figuring out how to make Disneyland work without coming home feeling like we need to recover financially from our vacation, and I...

Hey Reader, The Paris Catacombs were entirely my kids' idea. I had been to Paris five times and avoided them every single trip. Six million skeletons in a tunnel underground with no easy exit is not exactly my idea of a good afternoon. But my boys had been researching it for months, and eventually I ran out of ways to say no. What I did not know going in: the Catacombs had only reopened three days before our visit, after a five-month closure for a full renovation. New lighting, a completely...
