Looking for a few tips on how to avoid jet lag? Want the best advice from an international traveller ( a real one who takes her family around the world for a year?).
Need to know how to prevent jet lag and avoid arriving at your destination feeling like a zombie??
Tah-Dah! Look no further, my friend; you just found it.
If you are going on vacation or are off to start a new life in Europe (lucky you!), I have just the ticket for you.

This week’s podcast walks you through a budget-friendly and fun weekend with kids in Charleston, SC; one of the most popular and unique travel destinations in the world!
Last year my husband and I took our two kids ( teenagers age 16 and 13) to Charleston, SC for a long weekend.
But.
There was a catch.
As always we were on a budget (nothing new there then ) and I must admit, I was somewhat worried as to whether we’d be able to make our money stretch.
Our budget was $80 per day for the four of us.
Did we do it?

This week’s podcast is hosted by Liz and Sonny (first one of the year!) and is an up close and personal episode looking a what happened in our lives last year that left us feeling grateful (and being able to discuss the reasons why we are grateful).
I think everyone should take stock (each day if possible) and take a look at what the things they have to be grateful for.
Otherwise, you could turn into a moaning Minnie.
And no one likes those.
Teenagers are always getting a rough time about how privileged and ungrateful they are, so we thought it would be fun to discuss exactly what (if anything) this eighteen-year-old boy (sorry Sonny, young man) and his mother feels grateful for.
Gulp.

This week’s podcast episode on moving to New Zealand is hosted by me, (Liz ) and my husband Brian.
We moved to New Zealand with our kids from the UK in 2009 and have now been living in New Zealand as a family (our kids are now 18 and 15) for more than ten years.
Our reasons for leaving the UK to start a new life in New Zealand were personal and rather jumbled.
It was a kind of ‘let’s give it a go’ decision and one which neither of us has ever regretted.
Not ever.
