About this blog

Three-month-old babies are purported to be excellent swimmers. But can they fly?

Using the parental leave we receive from the Canadian government for successfully procreating, we'll take 10 flights around the Pacific in the next three months with our baby Lucy and 12-year-old Emma.

Come join us.
