January 29, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

I was always one of those single working ladies in my 20’s who couldn’t stand kids, especially on flights! I hated the little creatures and their mothers.

I’ve always wanted to visit Europe. So when a friend invited me to accompany her and her young daughter on an overseas trip I jumped at the chance.  A roundtrip ticket from Charleston to Zurich for $450… EXCELLENT! For that price I could even afford to take my 4 year old son. Well, my dream [...]

Comeback For Snotty Remark

January 13, 2010 Baby & Kid Stories

I had just boarded a flight out of Anchorage with my then 2 week old baby. He had been peacefully sleeping until we were in line for take-off. He then woke up and was hungry, not crying really but that newborn mewling they do before the actual cry starts. In the amount of time it [...]
