Photo Diary // Traveling in Australia with Juni + Wild

2018 was a year of adventure for our family. Juni started preschool, Wild started walking. The kids hop-scotched through Asia with us, collecting six stamps in their passport. Our last stop was Australia, where we had more photo shoots with feminist filmmakers, and an exhibition of our photographs in Brisbane. It was an exciting moment to enjoy the fruits of our labors. With over six weeks of travel this year, the kids had a lot of time together and became seasoned travelers.

By far the most rewarding part of the year was watching Juni + Wild fall in love with each other and learn to play together. One of our biggest hopes as parents is that our kids will be best friends. It happened in a big way this year, and we couldn’t be more happy for them.

2019: bring on more love, more hugs, not only between siblings, but for all humans, all animals and our beautiful planet earth. Happy New Year, loves!

Traveling with Kids in California // Truckee and Lake Tahoe

Fall colors are hard to find in the Bay Area, since our weather is so mild, but head east, into the Sierras and the trees burst into color come October! We spent a glorious four days in Truckee, where the gorgeous Cedar House Sport Hotel hosted us while we were in town. Such a luxurious stay -- hot tub, a huge suite and the most delicious breakfast every morning in the Stella restaurant. 

The weather had already dipped to cool, but we still got plenty of outdoor time. Juniper was so bold and got her feet in the freezing lake water, while we kept little Wilder bundled up and cozy as can be.

The Sierras in California are one of the most beautiful places in the world. The huge granite stones, crisp water and endless green. And it's only three hours away in the car -- or four -- or six... if you have kids ;) Hehe! 

We hope you enjoy the this travel diary of photos from our trip!

A big thanks to our great fashion and toy partner included in this blog post!

Traveling with Kids in California // Palo Alto and the Magical Bridge Playground

Part of parenthood is being a professional playground explorer with your kids. We're always on the hunt for a super fast slide, a wonderful tree house and a sleek new swingset. We were meeting our friends G + R halfway between our houses in Palo Alto and came across this gem, Magical Bridge Playground, an inclusive playground for all :) So cool! Juni LOVED it and we were there for over four hours, with a mini picnic break (read G's crazy good cookies! haha) in between. A MUST visit! Enjoy!

A big thanks to our great fashion partners included in this blog post!
