Jojo and I made MomMostTraveled history recently when we flew Kuwait Airlines for the first time.
The flight was from Bangkok to Kuwait, Kuwait to London, London to JFK (NYC).
I read many grumpy reviews about the Kuwait Airlines planes being old and out of date, with repairs needed. So I wasn’t surprised when our TV [...]

And, since winning makes you feel awesome, here are the recent winners on MMT:

We got two games by Goliath Games with fun names. Wow, rhyming sentence!

When the stomach reaches capacity, his belt pops [...]

Jojo is 6 now, and is growing up before my eyes.
Suddenly I have KID in my house. A kid who laughs at my jokes, can play independently, can read, write, and draw.
Also? He isn’t really into toys anymore. He loves his Lego blocks and Indiana Jones action figures, but other than that he is [...]

They can serve as binoculars, monocular, magnifying glass, linen counter, compass, stereoscope and signal mirror.
Jojo asked what the [...]

This has been one of those weeks that Busyness hid around the corner, jumped out, and put me in a headlock for three days.
The first day of school for the boys was also my first day of teaching for the school year…in fact, Deeds is in my class!
Jojo loves being a Kindergartener and is trying [...]

My boys had long and lovely locks.

Jojo asked for a haircut to get his bangs out of his eyes and Deeds was starting to have trouble eating and stuff because when he leaned his head forward, hair would fall in his face.
So. I gave in.

Both of them put on a brave face but [...]
