Okay, just a wee bit more about London this week, I promise! A lot of you asked me how we found our London rental flat, and I was so thrilled with our find, that I wanted to share a little bit of my experience researching a holiday rental.

Surviving the Holiday Travel Crush with the Kids Posted by Eileen on December 17, 2010 Bah, humbug! It’s the holidays and you’re off to visit the relatives, weighted down with what feels like the entire nursery in your carry-on bag. Snowmama Eileen on the slopes with Santa. Many new parents choose the holidays to make that first trip with the baby to visit grandparents. Syndicated family travel columnist Eileen Ogintz made holiday trips with her three children and has interviewed many parents along the way. SHIP AHEAD all the presents. Once You’ve Arrived At The Relatives: OFFER to take all the cousins to a movie, playground or nearby museum to get them out of the house -- and out of everyone’s hair. If Your Child Is Flying Solo: ARRIVE at the airport early because you will be required to fill out the necessary forms. Got the M&Ms and chocolate snowmen?
