Cheap Grocery Store Wine - Croatia Edition

This Istrian rosè is perfect for sitting by the beach looking over the impossibly blue ocean. Or for putting your feet in the kiddie pool in your backyard. Same thing, right?

Military families know the holiday travel grind all too well. But what if, instead of always going home, we started choosing a new kind of tradition. One where the money goes toward a trip together instead of a pile of presents? ✈️

Step Three: Let them sleep

Hopefully you are lucky enough to be flying during naptime or bedtime and now you have a tired, full bellied baby or toddler on your hands. You know your kid best to know whether they will be overtired by skipping an earlier nap or staying up late, but I would always try to time it so they would take a nap on the plane even if they had to skip an earlier nap to do it.

Get them as comfortable as you and they can be. For babies it’s probably easier, but make sure you have something to support your elbow and all the things you need in reach. Longer range flights will often have bassinets available for bulkhead seats. Toddlers are generally used to sleeping in their carseats, but if you don’t have a carseat on the plane lifting the arm rest and having them lay on your lap may be most comfortable. A small stuffy, lovie or blanket may also help them to fall asleep. Try to get them comfy in a way that their seatbelt is still buckled so you don’t have to wake them up to buckle it later.

And then let them sleep and bask in the peace and quiet for however long it lasts. Hopefully it will be the duration of your flight if it’s a shorter or night time flight. Otherwise I hope they wake up as a happy well rested baby and will enjoy playing with whatever toys you brought for them.

I hope that this was helpful and that it gives you the confidence to fly with your kids. The world is such an amazing place and knowing that some of my kids’ first memories are of foreign countries is really heartwarming for me.

Part 2 of 3, make sure you catch the first step in my feed! Comment “FLYING” to get the full plan.

Flying with babies is possibly the most stressful part of traveling with children. And yet you often can’t do one without the other. I’ve been flying with my kids for 10 years now and this is the 3 step game plan I approached every flight with. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Ultimately you know your baby and your situation best, so trust your gut.

Step Two: Feed them on the way up

I’m not advocating that you starve your kid all day. Make sure they’ve eaten something earlier, but we want enough time between that meal and your takeoff that they will be hungry. I’ve never met a toddler that didn’t want a snack, so this mostly goes for baby’s feeding windows. Hopefully all that running and playing and maybe crying has worked up an appetite. But we want to wait until you are actively taking off to give them something to eat. That meal can be a bottle, breastfeeding, some gummy snacks, gum for older kids. We just want their jaw moving and their throat swallowing.

This does 2 things. 1) It keeps them occupied when they need to be in your arms or buckled in their seat during a time that could potentially be a little scary. 2) The act of chewing and swallowing will help their ears adjust to the air pressure while you are ascending.

This can also be done on descent, which is when my kids always struggled with air pressure changes. Massaging their ear canal can also help their little ears to equalize. And unfortunately, so can crying. But remember, YOU WILL NEVER SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!!! So do the best you can on descent and keep telling yourself it’s almost over.

Flying with babies is possibly the most stressful part of any trip with children. And yet you often can’t do one without the other. I’ve been flying with my kids for 10 years now and this is the 3 step game plan I approached every flight with. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Ultimately you know your baby and your situation best, so trust your gut, but it helps to go in with a plan.

Flying with babies is possibly the most stressful part of traveling with children. And yet you often can’t do one without the other. I’ve been flying with my kids for 10 years now and this is the 3 step game plan I approach every flight with. Often it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Ultimately you know your baby and your situation best, so trust your gut.

Step One: Let them be a little wild.

I’m not saying let them open emergency exits or run around on the tarmac, but if you can find a safe area in the terminal to let them climb on the seats and jump around or just walk back and forth past people, let them get some energy out. Even when you get to your seats, let them bounce and be a little loud. And here’s the part people aren’t going to like…. I usually even allow some fussing and crying. I do correct behavior like kicking seats and enforce seatbelts when needed because that’s how they learn to well behaved on flights is by knowing what the expectations of them are.

This step does 2 things for us.

1) It hopefully tires them out. Airports and airplanes are exciting, but all that excitement ultimately takes energy and we want to leave that energy on the ground.

2) It sets low expectations with our seatmates. They saw your kid running in circles in the terminal. They see them bouncing excitedly in their seat or maybe even crying in your arms. They are not pleased. With the rest of this game plan, I hope to exceed their low expectations.

But if it all goes belly up, YOU WILL NEVER SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!!!! So take a deep breath, avoid looking at those judgy people and carry on with the next 2 steps.

Not all of the best things to do in the Naples region are the famous ones.

If you want the version of Naples that feels a little more local, a little less crowded, and a lot more memorable, these are the spots I’d put on your list instead.

This not that: choose the places most travelers skip — and give yourself a trip that feels more like a discovery.

- Herculaneum, not Pompeii
-Minori, not Amalfi or Positano
-Ischia, not Capri

Save this for your Italy plans ✈️

Ciao! It’s been a minute since I’ve reintroduced myself and I realized recently that I hadn’t told my full origin story.

I’m Megan and I’m the creator behind Objects In Motion. I’m also a military spouse/girlfriend of 17 years, a mom of 2 kids, and an engineer (hence the physics reference).

My love of travel began when I was choosing a college to attend. Ultimately I picked a maritime academy in large part because the curriculum included a summer working cruise each year on the school’s training ship. During my summers in college I traveled throughout South America and the South Pacific Ocean.

During college I met my future husband who ended up become a military pilot and a lot of my travels changed from exploring exotic new places to flights home to visit family from various bases throughout the Southern US. It wasn’t until we had been married 7 years that we realized we had never been on a real vacation. We had been places, but not for leisure. So we planned a real vacation for ourselves, not one to fly home to Southern California. It’s funny that the expectation is for the military family to travel home most of the time.

We started prioritizing our own vacations to places WE want to go and invited people we want to see to go with us. In 2018 and 2025 we met up with college friends and their kids for a Mediterranean cruise. And in 2022, 2023, and 2025 we did multigenerational cruises with our parents.

Now we have relocated our family overseas and my goal has been to travel somewhere once month. It doesn’t have to be a luxury trip every time, but a mini vacation once a month is my goal, and being pre-positioned in Europe has certainly helped. Travel is a mindset much like your attitude about a new duty station.

And through all this I wanted to make it easier for other military families to be able to prioritize their own travels. I want to connect them with military discounts, credit card partners that offer good value, creating itineraries that remove the work of planning, or even just a little inspiration with destination guides. I want to help military families find the rest and relaxation they deserve.
