Hello!
My husband and I love traveling, so when we started having kids we didn’t think twice about taking them along. Kids had their first flights at 3 weeks of age and never stopped going (now 3, 5 and one on the way). They have more stamps in their passports than a lot of adults! We have taken them all over the world, including Russia, Europe and so on. One time we flew to Amsterdam, but it was so cold there that after just a few days we went straight to El Salvador. Long flights, completely different time zones.

The trick is, don’t think of it as difficult or different. Children are very adaptive to any situation, but they also are very sensitive to their parents’ moods and reactions. So, if you stress, the kids will, too. If you act normal, they will, too. Very easy.
We are getting a lot of “ahs” and “wows” when people learn we travel with kids so much, it actually never occurred to us that’s not all that common.
Travel is awesome! Travel with kids is even better! It is the best education you can possibly offer them.

If you can combine those job skills as either a designer or an industrial designer, you might just have the job!

I’ve heard that shift work was linked to poor diet and heart disease, but not cancer! But I’m sure there’s more than a possibility.

I think I skimmed a related article. An experiment was done on mice–one group had good sleep, the other didn’t. The mice without good sleep had more DNA damage, because they didn’t get enough sleep to where the cells repaired themselves.

I used to be so tan, but now I’m the palest I’ve ever been. I will take more vitamin D, too.

Thank you for your concern, and thank you so much for answering.
