We just got back from a buttload of travel with 3-year-old. Good lord, if I never see another TSA line again, it’ll be too soon. Transatlantic flight? Check. Crammed car to the Cape? Check.
The miracle is that not all of it was horrible!

You may not be Anna Quindlen (whoever she is), but you are a damn good writer and I love reading your stuff. You’re amazing, and you’ve been a staple of my internet hours for the last eight months or so. You are Mrs Chicken, and for that I am extremely grateful.

Oh, and on the sybject of heartburn (in your previous post)… my mom used to suffer from it badly when she was pregnant with me. She swears by something called a “Brown Cow”. This is basically half a class of coke mixed with half a glass of milk. It tastes very nice - I lived off it as a child. My mom says it works a charm, it might help you out a bit.

Old posts would be great, for us new chickens on the block! Why not have a bunch of them ready for those days when Shaggy won’t let you post anything? That would keep your fans (us!) happy, with minimum effort for you! And in between, you can post about breastmilk squirting across the room and those delightful first poops. I am looking forward to it all!

I want to move some of my archives too since I have a new home, but the task seems so overwhelming…I don’t know if I have it in me.

I’m looking forward to reading some of your old posts!

I’m so very grateful to my husband that when we just moved me to self hosted he brought not only all my old posts, but all the comments that went with them. I didn’t even know it could be done!

Ooh, I am planning on merging mine…is this whole thing a nightmare? Any tips?

And, on the family travel…how about some sort of guide to educating all the people who want you to travel thousands of miles to see them, how bloody hard it is to travel with kids? Too sour grapes?
