Pack your bags…

to go to the hospital – and know that you probably won’t be packing them to go any place too fabulous for a bit.  Certainly not to any of the places that these utterly safe and natural blocks will remind you of…places you most likely saw on your summers abroad, gap year, post college first amazing gig or honeymoon…and that you will see again next (aside from strewn all over the playroom), with a sticky fingered child, after the longest (and most embarrassing) flight of your life, when you hope to Vishnu your little one doesn’t invite any comparisons to the “typical American child”….

The Italians  are the most forgiving about children. You may want to have your first proper post baby trip there.

And Mexico is so easy to get to…you may want to skip Tolum, and consider peaceful Cuernavaca…

I have always wanted to go to Russia - The Hermitage particularly…

As I was pregnant, I missed my baby sisters wedding in Morocco, a trip I am yet owed…

I haven’t been to Japan in ages, but it was one of my grandmothers favourite countries (along with China), so she took me to both….

Having always loved tales of the Edwardian travellers, I do hope to get to Eygpt one day…

No matter the number of stamps in your passport – these blocks will be as inspiring to you as to your little one.

All available at Hazlenut Kids .

Bon Voyage!
