When writer, Debbie Durow, found unsafe, dirty and broken car seats at an airport Advantage Rent a Car, she worked to change the system. And she thought she did, until she revisited one 6 months later and found that nothing had improved. Read this interesting story at her blog; Delicious Baby and get ready to pack your own car seat next time you fly.

This summer we have turned our attention to the exterior of our home and are having several project completed that we have wanted to do since we moved in five years ago.
The biggest one is the re-building of our deck. Our house had a massive deck on the back that looked great when we you first saw it. However, whoever built that monstrosity, decided not to use pressure treated wood, so it’s days were numbered. So, we are tearing down the old deck and having a new, deck built to replace it. The finished product is a smaller deck, but it looks fantastic.
Last week the Mellander family went on their first ever beach vacation. We spent a weekend in Cape May, NJ, renting a house with Grandma & Grandpa and Uncle Josh & Aunt Jen.
The trip was great. In addition to almost daily trips to the beach, we visited the Cape May County Zoo, (which was FREE and fantastic), the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ, a nature center where the boys got to hold starfish, turtles and more and watched the sunset from Sunset Beach.
L loved standing in the Ocean but N was not a fan. In fact, he would often yell at the waves and cry when one of us would wade into the water. They both loved playing in the sand, especially being buried in it.
It was a great trip and a great first family vacation. Enjoy the photos below and more here.
