While I am always happy to share my own traveling stories with my family, there are tons of other great traveling families out there with kids of different ages, different numbers of kids, and who have had different experiences than me. As part of my "Little C's Traveling Friends" series, I am sharing different family's stories so we can all learn from their experiences. If you would like to be a part of this series just shoot us an email at email@example.com.
Diana, her husband Nate, and their daughter Claire, have used points to travel to visit Nate's parents in Minnesota, take a trip to Israel and Egypt, vacationed in France with family, and much more. They were kind enough to share some of their tips, travels and uh-oh moments with us.
Tell me a little bit about your family?
Our family is me (Diana), my husband, Nate, and our daughter, Claire. Nate and I met in college and got married in 2007. We welcomed Claire in to our family in December 2011 and live near Boston. Nate works as a chemical engineer and I am an architect. We have always loved to travel and are finding ways to bring Claire along with us these days!
How has your traveling pattern changed (or not changed) since you have had kids?
Before we had Claire, it seemed like we were traveling more weekends than we were home! Whether it was visiting Nate's family (who live far from us in Minnesota), visiting friends, vacationing with family, or alone, we were always on the go. We got more and more daring with our travel as well, visiting Israel and Egypt in 2010, our last big trip "B.C." (Before Claire!) These days, we cherish our time at home just as much as our travel time. Our travels are a bit more scaled back and family-focused these days.
When we do travel, the biggest changes we've had to make are leaving enough extra time and learning to pack for an infant, and now a toddler. Nate always liked to leave extra time, but I usually resisted and pushed for getting to the airport just in time. That's a no go with a toddler! I've learned that I'd much rather end up with extra time to kill at the gate, than be sweating bullets trying to rush through security or deal with a last-minute gate change.
As for packing for a toddler, it seems to be a fine art. On our early trips, we tended to over-pack. Some of the trips in the middle, we overcompensated and didn't have enough. I think we've found the sweet spot these days, although with a growing child it seems to be a moving target! We're getting to the stage where we need lots of good entertainment and distraction for our kiddo, which is changing the dynamic a bit. Ah parenting: just when you think you have it figured out, everything changes!
Where all have you traveled with your children, and what have been some memorable experiences on some of those trips (both good and bad)?
Since Claire arrived, we have been to visit Nate's family four times, traveled to Florida twice (once for a work conference for me and once to visit my grandfather), and to St. Martin with my extended family. Bringing Claire to Minnesota to meet family and friends for the first time was very memorable, especially meeting Nate's grandfather. Two of Nate's closest friends also had babies within 8 months of Claire being born, so it's been very special to get to visit with their children so often!
At the other extreme, we will certainly never forget our flight back from St. Martin! Claire was just shy of 12 months old, and she shrieked for the last 30-45 minutes of the flight. It felt like AN ETERNITY to us! We think it might have been her ears bothering her, because other kids starting freaking out too when we starting our descent. The people around us were incredibly kind, but we were frazzled to say the least when we could finally get off the plane.
What are some tips for traveling with kids that you have learned along the way (gear, where to sit on the airplane or train, choosing hotels, destinations, flying or riding the train with infants, etc.)?
We have had great luck with the Mommy Point's tip (head here for even more tips!) of having one person board early with the carseat and gear while the other person waits until the last minute to come on board with the baby. We also have a rolling carseat caddy and that makes it much easier to get the carseat through the airport! Another trick: ask security to "wand" the caddy/carseat together so you don't have to take it apart to put it through the scanner.
The best general tip we can give is to be realistic about what you can do while you're traveling with kids. Accept that you'll have to spend some time in your hotel room or your host's house for naps, and probably early in the evening after bedtime. Nate and I have learned to bring a lot of reading material or a movie and a laptop with us and it makes those early nights "stuck in the room" kind of fun. Sometimes we'll grab a snack or a drink from the hotel bar before turning in for the night, too!
How do points and miles figure into your family travels?
Boy do we wish we had entered the miles and points world before having Claire! We still get great benefits from them now, but with all the extra traveling we were doing then, I think we could have really seen great rewards.
That being said, we got tipped off to this "hobby" by friends last fall and did our first credit card applications in September. Our approach was twofold: get some cards with great offers just for the fun of it and get other cards that will help us travel to Minnesota more often. Delta has some of the only direct flights from Boston to Minneapolis/St. Paul, so they became our default airline.
Since we've started collecting miles and points, some of the benefits have included using miles to fly family and myself to Phoenix, Minnesota and Miami. Using hotel points to attend a wedding in expensive Newport, Rhode Island, visiting friends, and setting up free hotel stays for family.
What future trips are on your horizon?
At the time that I asked Diana to be a part of our Little C's Traveling Friends Series she was in the midst of planning for this family vacation to France. Once she returned to the states she was able to tell me about the trip.
One of our biggest reasons for trying to accumulate miles and points was for a big trip to France with Nate's Mom, Dad and sister. June is such a popular travel time, so we weren't able to use miles for our flights this time, but we did manage to use points along with Hyatt credit card free stays to cover all 8 nights of hotels!
Thanks to a tip from Mommy Points, we were able to stay at the Hotel du Louvre for our first 2 nights soon after it became available for bookings as a Hyatt. What a beautiful place with an amazing location; literally steps from the Louvre. In Strasbourg, we stayed at a Hilton a little outside the city center, but close to a tram stop to get you there.
One highlight of our last hotel, the Hyatt Madeleine in Paris, was the thoughtful "kid-friendly" touches that were included: a little baby toiletry set (soap, shampoo, diaper cream, etc.), a baby bath, a sleep sack, a changing pad, a bottle warmer and (this was my favorite!) kid-sized hangers in the closet!
All three of these hotels were able to provide rollaway cribs and the rooms were pretty big (by European standards) so we didn't all feel crammed in.
What would you say to other families that are nervous about the logistics of hitting the sky (or road) with the little ones?
You can do it! I've found that the anticipation is usually worse than the actual travel. Be prepared with snacks and entertainment, be flexible and enjoy showing your kids the world. Worried about the cost? Read up on this blog for great tips on using miles and points to make travel possible on a smaller budget. And take lots of pictures!
Thanks so much to Diana, Nate and Claire for taking the time to share their trips and stories!

Love reading about more traveling families!
I agree Andrea — especially since the blog is called "Mommy Points," not "Fancy Pants Travel."
That said, I've found that travel advice for families with young kids is a minefield. Like I always advise parents of pre-schoolers that they'll probably enjoy their whirlwind week long holiday in Asia more if they live their kid at home with grandma. And that a simple trip to the beach might be better for that crowd than a holiday in Europe. But many travelling parents "violently" disagree with me on this, and tell me how much their preschoolers get out of global travel. That said, regardless of whether it's a good idea, lots of kids are going to be travelling to distant lands (often because the parents have no choice but to take them), and "real world" advice is useful to help prepare for those journeys.
I think I never travelled this much my entire life than in the past 2 years since my little daughter was born back in 2012 but then I wasn't using or introduced to the miles and points game. Just to give you an idea of where we have been in the past 14 months:
2012: went to dubai when she was almost 1 year old
May 2013: went to spain ( Madrid, cordoba), Italy ( Rome, Venice), Switzerland ( mainly Zurich ), and finally Paris.July 2013: Alaska;, anchorage, Fairbanks, seward , whittier and several other day hikes
Dec 2103: just got back from visiting Germany, Austria , Slovakia, croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and countless cities in these coutnries that I can't recall all of them now. So many stamps on passportts, actually have to cross the borders of three countries, twice in 48 hour period.
It all sounds crazy and hectic and to certain extent it was, but I think in the end, we enjoyed it very much. Now heading to china, Singapore and Thailand in march. Looking forward to the fun times btw all this was in economy.
^^ no I don't do time travel. 2013*
Andrea, so glad you like them. I love hearing their stories, too!
iahphx, lots of folks with (and without) kids do lots of different ways. As long as it works for them, that's great! We like some trips with, some trips without. Some trips "fancy" some not so much. It is all good.
Ali, congrats on going all those places with your daughter! Very cool! -
Love that this series has returned too!
The series never went away, I just was a little slow getting the next post up. It isn't going anywhere for the forseeable future (assuming I have families to write about)!
I get phx's point, but I'm 35 with 3 year old twin girls, I was poor my whole life until about 8 years ago, I'm not going to live to 100, and I just learned about points and timeshares in the last 3-5 years. We have pretty good little traveling girls, and they won't be perfect on every trip, but they sure try hard to be. I've got my helicopter hat on because I can't imagine a world where I'd be okay leaving my kids with a grandmom for a week, so instead, we just plan ultra-vacations, 4-6 weeks at a time in the summer so we can do everything someone else can do in a week, and if we need to spend a couple of days down time at the hotel because someone's grumpy – so be it.
Can't wait for our first 6 week adventure to Europe this summer! Worried about the flight, but we are in business class and maybe they'll think a bed on a plane is cool. Maybe they won't!
I am a bit late, but thanks for posting, MommyPoints!! We are thrilled to be included in your "Little C's Traveling Friends" series!
Diana, thank you for sharing your story!

Cinderella's Royal Table Dinner on Disney Dining Plan?
I booked an ADR for dinner at CRT, and now the confirmation email has me scratching my head. I know CRT costs 2 ts credits, but are you even allowed to get dinners at CRT on the regular Disney Dining Plan?
In the email there is a little chart and it looks like this: 2013 Disney Dining Plans - Entitlements Required Breakfast - Lunch - Dinner Quick Service: - - - Dining: 2 2 - Deluxe Dining: 2 2 2 Premium Dining: 1 1 - Platinum Dining: 1 1 - So this is why I am wondering if it's allowed or not because there's a little "-" in the "dinner" line for Dining. |
To my knowledge, CRT counts as 2TS on the disney dining plan, regardless of which plan it is. I see what you're saying based on the chart. I also know that they changed some regulations with the new dining plans(prix fixe meals, etc.) They are probably having issues with the upgrades, but you can always double check by calling Disney dining.
All CRT meals are 2 TS credits on the DDP. There have been many areas of inconsistency with the switch to the "new" website.
I just posted the same about Norway - the confirmation email was just all weird. I called, and the CM quickly confirmed the email was wrong and there have been issues.

I got my bank statement in the mail today from Fifth Third, included was a notice about hikes in the "activity fees". It seems now if you make more than 3 withdrawals during the statement period (which is 3 months for me) that you will be assessed a $1.00 per withdrawal fee for "account activity" if your average balance falls below $2,500, doesnt matter if its a branch or ATM, you still have to pay the fee. The old policy was $.50 per withdrawl if your balance was below $1,000, so they doubled the fee and increased minimum balance by 150%. It doesn't affect me because my balance is above that, but still, this is getting ridiculous. If you want to withdraw YOUR money more than once a month on average you have to pay them to do so. All of this for the whopping .5% interest they pay on savings accounts.
I think I'm going to buy a big safe and start locking my cash up at home, screw banks, and their fees.

Lisbon Story - Winter time
A collection of pictures from my last Christmas holidays in Lisbon. Lisbon is such a blessed city, that the sun shines all year round. As you can see, many of my photos turned out a bit wacky and overexposed. I'm so used to London's gloomy days that I don't know how to take pictures ant more when the sun shines - very depressing thought indeed...
This photo was shot on film. Taken by anafaro with a Horizon Perfekt loaded with 35mm Fuji Provia 400ISO film in Lisbon, Portugal. These tags describe this photo: lisbon, streets, winter, sun, city, urban, friends, horizon, sea, sky, and art. Date: 2011-12.

MOUNT VERNON — About the only thing that Mount Vernon Yellow Jackets softball coach Mike Marcum can be sure about, for now, is that the season starts on April 6.
Otherwise, the Jackets are swimming in a sea of uncertainty. Marcum's graduation-depleted roster is loaded with question marks. Tuesday's scrimmage, which may have answered a few of those questions, was canceled because of frigid weather that would hardly remind anyone that softball season is upon us.
"Practice has been hit-and-miss," said Marcum. "We've been inside all pre-season. Last year, the weather felt like we were in Florida."
Nine seniors from last year's team are gone. Instead of reloading, Marcum will have to start over.

Frisco Campground: Camp along the Beach
Cape Hatteras National Seashore has 4 different campgrounds sprinkled along the banks. Frisco Campground is in the middle, and is a good base of operation for exploring the banks. There are 127 camp sites, and they are all non-reservable (first-come, first-serve). However, on the weekend that I was visiting, there was always at least a few open sites each night. That might change during busy holiday weekends so make sure you get there early (check out is 11 am) or have other options in mind (there are 3 other campgrounds, with a total of over 400 sites).
The sites are simple, with a barbecue stand (no fires permitted except in the barbecue), picnic bench, and an open area for tents. Most of the sites are dominated by sand, which makes for smooth tent-laying and softer sleeping (compared to granite, which I've also slept on). And you can hear the sounds of the ocean as you sleep; the Atlantic is just a 3-minute walk away from most sites, and a few lucky ones are able to see the ocean from their tents.
The campground also has shower facilities that are free (cold water only though), so you can wash the sand and salt out of your hair. Sites are $20 a night, payable by cash.
The only downside is, with some campgrounds, you can have noisy neighbors. As you're fairly unprotected by trees and such, if you get one who likes to get drunk and party (quiet hours start at 9pm, but that's not always obeyed), you can have a loud night.

GOP House: Keep government open, hit 'Obamacare'
WASHINGTON — Charting a collision course with the White House, the Republican-controlled House approved legislation Friday to wipe out the three-year-old health care law that President Barack Obama has vowed to preserve — and simultaneously prevent a partial government shutdown that neither party claims to want.
"The American people don't want the government shut down, and they don't want "Obamacare," Speaker John Boehner said as members of his rank and file cheered at a celebratory rally in the Capitol moments after the 230-189 vote. He stood at a lectern bearing a slogan that read, "#Senate must act."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it will — but not the way Boehner and his tea party-heavy Republican contingent want. Assured of enough Senate votes to keep the government open and the health care law in existence, the Nevada Democrat accused Republicans of attempting "to take an entire law hostage simply to appease the tea party anarchists."
<Behind the rhetoric lay the likelihood of another in a series of complex, inside-the-Beltway brinkmanship episodes as conservative House Republicans and Obama struggle to imprint widely differing views on the U.S. government.
In addition to the threat of a partial shutdown a week from Monday, administration officials say that without passage of legislation to allow more federal borrowing, the nation faces the risk of a first-ever default sometime in the second half of next month.
House Republicans intend to vote to raise the nation's debt limit next week to prevent that from happening. But they have said they will include a one-year delay in Obamacare in the measure to reinforce their determination to eradicate the program.
The same bill will include provisions to reduce deficits and stay the administration's environmental agenda as the GOP seeks gains for its own priorities. Raising the cost of Medicare for financially better-off beneficiaries is one likely provision to be added, according to numerous officials. So, too, is a ban on federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.
Obama responded in remarks before an audience at a Ford assembly plant near Kansas City, Mo.
He blamed a "faction on the far right of the Republican Party" for threatening to shut down government operations or default on government debts. "They're focused on trying to mess with me," he told plant workers. "They're not focused on you."

Just an FYI what my recent experiences ordering some tile samples through two online sites. 1. Floor and D�cor: $2 samples. I ordered a total of 7 samples that ended up coming from 3 different locations. 5 samples arrived fairly quickly, but the packaging was almost non-existent. 5 tiles were wrapped in a single sheet of newsprint and placed in a shipping box. The samples arrived broken. After piecing them back together, none of the 3" x 3" samples were enough to see any veining on the marble look porcelain. They all looked like plain white or off-white tile. One sample arrived somewhat later, well packaged and undamaged. The final sample never arrived. 2. BuildDirect: Up to 5 free samples, with free shipping. I ordered 5 wood-look tile samples (they didn't have a porcelain marble I liked). They arrived quickly, well packaged and clearly marked with the manufacturer and color information. Just based on this I will be considering BuildDirect but not Floor and D�cor. I suspect others may have different experiences. |

Look local. You not only have someone who knows the products that can help with suggestions, but you also get to check out large sample boards to take home. |

Look for reviews on here for Build Direct as I believe you will find some less than flattering reviews. I also like holly recommend shopping local for tile. |
I am shopping local as well. I just wanted to cover a few more bases by going online to look. |

Re: Composting Toilets vs. Holding Tank
I don't think it is a no brainer at all.
Wet plumbing systems are complicated, and sometimes messy. Also, as mentioned just a post or two up, pump outs often close in the cold seasons (and too often just seem to break and be out of service for extended periods). It has also been quite well reported that heavy rains frequently cause an overflow of the treatment plants (often discussed in other waste threads) dumping large quantities of untreated sewage into public waters. Plus, as noted in your summary above, a large percentage of soiled 'naps' are already heading into the landfill, and that kind of thing should be planned for. Your summary also mentions that the general assumption is that the waste is quickly deactivated. Besides, unless you are going to stop all diapers, tampons (I've seen signs in MENS rooms warning not to dump tampons in the toilet), dog waste, kitty litter, baby wipes (don't flush them, either) and everything else from making it into the landfill, I would think stopping every boat with a composting head from trashing their waste (maybe three gallons worth of partially composted material every few months) is extremely unlikely to produce any kind of measurable result. I suspect that if we all started burying our poop in shallow holes, there would be an awful lot of shallow holes scattered around (I'm guessing that this is illegal, too).
Everything in life is compromise. While landfilling waste might not be a perfect solution, it is no where near clear to me that it isn't amongst the best of many bad choices.

bilsein vs radflo???
going for one the the toytec ultimate lifts soon and have been talking to the guys over there for advice and now i'm going to you guys for some input.
the only thing i'm having trouble deciding on is whether or not to go with the bilstein 5100's up front or the radflo 2.0's? i know the radflo's can be rebuilt and average a lifetime of 20-30k miles inbetween services. what have you guys been getting out of the bilsteins as far as mileage until needing to be replaced? what do you guys think of these options??? thanks |
A lot of people like the Bilsteins, not a lot of people on here like the Radflo's. They seem to change them out for other Coilovers

Eyelash begonia is a common synonym for bowerae species and hybrids (that is my take on the subject). 'Shamus' probably has some bowerae in it and has "eyelashes" along its leaf edges, but the more definitive eyelash begonia is more like 'Tiger Kitten' or 'Kit Kat'. Think of cane begonias and its synonym of "angel wing" or as some people misspell it "ANGLE wing". So 'Lucerna' and 'Irene Nuss' are examples of cane or angel wing begonias, but neither is named solely begonia 'angel wing'. Look at this site for some good "eyelash" begonias. Some have eyelashes, some are rexes. |

My wife want a old fashion deep purple lilac bush and I have no ideal where one can find or order one. If you know were one can get one I would be very thankful. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The huge suckering Syringa vulgaris that you're looking for is called Andenken an Ludwig Spaeth-- or just Ludwig Spaeth. If you see one around that you like, ask the owners if you can dig a sucker. |
As long as it's not grafted - otherwise the sucker might not be the named variety with the dark flowers. |

old fashioned would imply.. its been around a hundred years or so ... and i doubt they would be grafted ... i have at least a dozen lilacs .. ALL WERE GOTTEN BY KNOCKING ON A DOOR AND ASKING IF I COULD DIG A SUCKER WHILE IN BLOOM... that is really the only time you can get EXACTLY what you want ... and no one has ever turned me down ... i then dig a 6 to 12 inch sucker ... with some little bit of root ... stick it in a one gallon pot with some old wet media .. just a few inches.. and the pot holds up the top part ...... and leave it on the north side of the house [bright but no sun] ... to grow roots.. until i can plant it in fall ... or in the case of the one in front of my house right now.. its been sitting there in about 3 inches of media for ... well.. it will be 3 years this spring at bloom time... lol .... i have moved it once in a while to insure it didnt root out the bottom ... i swear to God.. i will plant it when the ground thaws.. now that i have mocked myself piteously ... lol..

Ken, In addition to Ludwick Spaeth. I would recommend S. vulgaris "Sarah Sands" or a more recent hybrid S. vulgaris Yankee Doodle. One that is dark purple with double flowers is S. vulgaris Charles Joly. You might try Fox Hill Lilac Nursery in Maine for a good selection. I use Syringa Plus in West Newbury, MA. But that's because they're close. Both nurseries do mail order in this here Internet. Steve |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fox Hill Lilac Nursery
'Andenken an Ludwig Spath' dates from 1883. So that makes it 131 years old. "Perhaps the most popular lilac, one of the most consistent and reliable" -- The Hillier Manual of Trees & Shrubs (2002, Hillier Nurseries) Syringa vulgaris cultivars have been much grafted in the past. Specimens consisting of a named scion surrounded by suckers coming from a less impressively flowered root-stock is not rare in plantings of some age. |

It has a lining and two inner pockets and a slightly slimmer cut. Please visit the Arholma section in our shop where you will find several images of all our coats.
The Stockholm coat has welded seams. It has a slightly wider cut. It has no separate lining, just the rubberized thick cotton, making it a leaner version of the Arholma.
Where is my coat produced?
All our coats are handmade in the highest quality by very skillful seamstresses. The design, development and production of prototypes take place in Stockholm at our office. The ongoing production of Arholma, Stockholm and Öland you will find in Poland. The production of our cotton coats - Arvid and Inferno is done in Lithuania. We work very closely with both of our factories and we visit each other on a regular basis and make calls in the middle of the night.
I have scratches on my coat, is this normal?
Due to the packaging of the coats, scratches might appear on the fabric of Arholma, Stockholm and Öland. By letting your coat hang, these scratches will disappear.
How do I re-proof my waxed Stutterheim item?
This guide is useful when re-waxing your Inferno and Beppe. We recommend re-waxing your garment once a year to keep it water-repellent. Simply follow the instructions below.
Tools needed:
Stutterheim Oil Finish Wax
A clean sponge or cloth
Hair Dryer
1. Clean
Clean the outside of your garment with cold water and a sponge. Avoid using hot water, any kind of soap and never put the jacket in the washing machine, as this will remove the wax coating forever and the jacket cannot be re-waxed.
2. Wax
For best results re-proof in warm conditions in order to keep the wax soft. Take your sponge and work the wax well into the jacket using light, circular strokes paying particular attention to seams, creases and dry patches. Wipe off any excess wax. Make sure to keep the wax away from the collar, the inside of the jacket and inside of the pockets.
3. Dry
To make sure you get an extra smooth finish after re-waxing, carefully blow over your garment with a hair dryer to spread the wax completely. Hang up your re-waxed garment indoors (17-20°C) to dry overnight and make sure to keep your garment away from other textiles. Be aware the jacket may lose excess wax for a short while after being re-waxed.
Is there a Stutterheim guarantee?
We can ensure you that all our products are made of the highest quality. If your product is damaged and you assume it's a question of manufacturing fault, please contact us right away. You will get a new product or a full refund if your claim is approved.

Gear Review
Pretty jacket but warmth wise not so much
I like the jacket but to me it's not that warm. It's not that slim fitting to me but it actually worked out for me because I though it would be too tight. It actually does have wrist gaiters contrary to what it says. I actually bought it in white but I have to say the royal pain color looks nice on because I did get to try that one in a store. I didn't like the fact that the powder skirt is fixed because I like to have the options of taking it off. updated 01.18.11 I really do not like the jacket for what I needed it for. It was not warm and the powder skirt kept on going up which caused snow to go down my pants. I may have to use this as a regular jacket.

OK. So, here's an overhead of my soon to be installed kitchen.
It's a small space. The kitchen itself is 8' X 12'. The pantry area, which is off to the right, is 10' X 4' although, due to entry door configuation, the cabinets can only be mounted in an area that is 5' X 4'. The ceiling in both areas is 7'6". I've already picked out the cabinets (White Shaker panel), the countertops (Black Galaxy), the bachsplash (White 3X6 subway tile) and the floor (Black or dark grey slate.) There will be under cabinet lighting although I don't know what type I'm looking at Xenon and Linear. If anyone has any experience with either I would appreciate your views. Primarily I need help with the placement of the overhead recessed lights. I think that since the ceiling is so low that 3" would be best but if 4" would work better I might be inclined to go that way. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Alan |
Follow-Up Postings:
I used under cabinet LEDs from environmentallights.com and am quite pleased with the results. As for overhead recessed lights I would suggest using the 4". Alternatively, could you raise the ceiling and use 6" cans? Are you intending to have title 24 compliant lighting? |
I'm looking at the LED under cabinet units and also the xenon strips. The ceiling can't be raised as there is a bedroom above. I think that the ceiling is sufficiently low that I'll have to go with the 3". I'm trying to decide between the PAR20, MR16 or GU10. I'm not sure that LEDs will provide enought light and they're rather pricey. I know that over that course of time they'll certainly pay for themselves but, for now they're not in the budget. |
You just might be pleasantly surprised by the LED light output. I was. I was initially unimpressed by the LED under cabinet solutions carried by Ikea, Lowes, Home Depot and Lamps Plus. Fortunately, there are far more choices online. I'm now able to use my kitchen in the early morning & at night with only LED under cabinet lighting. |
- Posted by normclc (email@example.com) on Sun, Mar 14, 10 at 11:41
I would always use the MR16 Both the Par20 and GU10 are inferior lamps when you measure light putput, colour rendition, and length of life. They only win out when you factor in cost, but even then they lose out if you add in the vastly shorter life and more expensive cost per lamp. With your 7'6" ceiling height, you should use wide flood lamp to compensate for the lower ceiling. Also please consider using a good trim, which should be clear alzak or black, never white |

I agree about the under cabinet LED lights. LED light bars come in a range of brightnesses and waterproof versions, plus they use less that 3 Watts of electricity. LED MR-16s are available for around $35 each, which you could make back in electricity savings in the first year, assuming you use the kitchen lights as much as I do! |
I was going to use white trim for the recessed ceiling instruments. Why is that not a good idea? Also, do the LED MR16s put out as much light as a Halogen MR16? If they do and they cost only $35, I would definetly go with the LEDs. |
There are LED lighting solutions that outperform halogen MR16s in terms of brightness and power consumption. I expect the cost of LED lighting to experience significant downward pricing pressure this year given the proliferation of LED suppliers and lighting solutions. Given the current green trends, I would consider options other than halogen, xenon and other low efficiency lights (< 40lumens per watt). |

Here is a link that might be useful: superbrightleds
Thanks for the link. Will these LED MR16 lamps snap into a regular MR16 fixture and will I need a transformer specifically designed for LEDs? |
One more thing, are LEDs dimmable? |
Some are dimmable. Check out the superbrightleds website for more details. |
Will do. Thanks |
David, I'm also looking at the LED strips but not sure as to the length in relation to the cabinet width. Will you elaborate and give specific details on your installation? |
I measured the underside of my cabinets, calculated how to best fit led strips that were of different lengths. ie - There are a number of options from various LED manufacturers you can consider. |
Thanks, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. I tend to over analyze at times. |
1. Are your cabinet runs on opposing walls? 2. If so, were you able to use a single transformer and where did you place it? 3. Did you add a dimmer? 4.If it's not to much trouble and you are happy with the setup, will you list the part numbers? |
Yes to both 1, 2 & 3. The transformer ended up under the kitchen sink. I was able to use just 1 transformer as the total power consumption was well within the boundary. |
Here is a link that might be useful: environmentallights
Thanks, why the 24v over the 12v? what dimmer model did u use? Why did u need the power supply cord? I thought u could hard wire, Does this cord plug into a wall socket? I'm not electrically inclined. |
24V since that was what the strips required. The main dimmer component is the transformer. The switch was a Leviton Monet (Magnetic) The system is hardwired. The transformer goes to the mains and the output goes to the led strips via power supply cords. The environmentallights staff can walk you through the entire process. |
Thanks again. On your cabinet run of 6'-3" is one end terminate say to an adjacent room? If it's open, does the light shine off the counter onto the flooring of the adjacent room since there is only 1.5" of space between the strip end and the cabinet? I ask this because I will have 1 cabinet run of 38" that will terminate to the open dinette area; and, I was thinking a 24" or 30" strip might keep the light spread atop the counter. I plan to call enviro to discuss with them but I just want hear from someone that actually has this system in use. |
Yes, there is a open end. No problems with any lighting effects. A 36" light bar would work. |
Why do you worry about the light shining off the counter onto the floor? The counter will reflect light upwards. Whatever light from the under cabinet lighting that strikes the floor will have bounced off the backsplash/ wall/ counter top etc first unless they are placed in direct line of sight of the floor. Even so, it is unlikely that the light source would be too over powering. The reasons why I went with environmentallights was that The reason why I would consider them again is Having said all that, the competitive landscape might have changed, so you may find other cost effective solutions. First, figure out the wiring circuits - will there be low voltage? If so, which will be low voltage, where the transformer will go.How you would control the power to the transformer. It is far easier to wire up things when the drywall & backsplash are not installed. |
If the light strip is the same length or close to it as the cabinet run then the end of the strip will be directly above the end of the counter top; and, not knowing the light beam degree, I thought their might be enough light shining into the adjacent room that might affect the lighting mood. Just an engineer's thought process. Anyway, your lighting looks nice and thanks for all the information. |
Dimmers are useful in controlling the amount of light. If you're willing to experiment, there are color changing leds that you might want to consider. I hope you manage to find the lights that really suit your needs. |
Bumping Up |
willtv, For placement, 1 over the sink and some near the edge of the counter tops. The exact placement would depend on the location of the ceiling joists. If you're taking down significant portions of the ceiling and reframing, you could raise the entire ceiling and use 5 or 6" cans. The number of lights would depend on the desired brightness in the kitchen. I used 35 lumen/sq ft as a rough guide to determine the number of cans (without other lighting sources). 8*12*35/600 (assume ~ 600 lumen per light) = 5.6 and rounding up gives 6 cans. I would suggest looking at the Cree LR4 4" recessed solutions assuming that the ceiling would not be raised. If it is to be raised, CR6 or LR6. |
Davidtay, Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to find a Cree dealer nearby so I can look at the 4" fixtures up close. My initial plan was to use 3" MR16s because the ceiling is so low. I've done the beam spread calculation and it looks like I'll need 15 or 16 fixtures. I know that sounds insane but the distance from the ceiling to the countertop will be 4.5 feet and from the ceiling to the floor 7.5 feet. This makes the beam spread, using a 40 degree lamp, appoximately 3 feet and 5 feet respectively. My plan is to place a fixture over the sink, one each over the countertop to the right and left of the sink, and one each over the countertops on either side of the range. Additionally there will be a fixture at the pass through between the pantry and the kitchen as well as 3 or 4 fixtures down the center of the room. In the pantry there will be a fixture over the countertop corner as well as one over each straight run of countertop. Additionally, there will be a fixture centerd in the standing area between the cabinets and the garage wall and one last fixture centerd between the back door and the garage door. I know this sounds crazy for such a small space but, everytime I do the beam spread calculation it comes up the same. Am I missing something? Thanks again for your input. |
That's a lot of holes. How are you wiring all the lights? - Tearing up the ceiling first? If you're intent on using MR16 bulbs, can I assume that you'd be using low voltage lighting? If so, the MR16-xW4 LED bulb at superbrightleds may be of interest. |
Here is a link that might be useful: MR16 LED bulbs
Taking the max area possible - (8 X 12) + (10 X 4) - 20 = 116 sq ft. Assuming 35 lumens / sq ft Assumed light output per MR16 @ 150 lumens. Not considering the beam spread at all Total = 25. You might find the following link interesting. |
Here is a link that might be useful: MR16 comparison LED vs Halogen (Nov'08)
The kitchen renovation will be a total makeover. My joke is to tell people that I'm rolling a hand grenade into the kitchen and starting over. So, yes, the ceiling will be removed. The MR-16s will be low voltage with magnetic transformers. It's not that I'm stuck on the MR-16s, it's more that I haven't seen the LED cans in real life applications. I still have a few weeks before I have to make the final decision so I will make a concerted effort to find the LED cans properly displayed. This isn't the kind of decision one would wamt to get wrong and have to live with for too many years, kicking themselves in the butt all the while. I will check out the links you provided and get back to you. Thanks again for your all your help. |
FYI - with LR6. I previously had a 7' ceiling with recessed T8 fluorescent tubes which felt quite claustrophobic. Hth |
Your kitchen looks great. The links were very informative. At this point I think I'm going to go with the 3" MR-16s and after they're installed pick up a few replacement LED lamps from Superbrightleds and see how they look. They start swinging the hammers on July 19th. I'll post the results upon completion and, certainly, I'll be lurking until then for any more info. |
Here's another link for your consideration. Claimed 300 lumens... |
Here is a link that might be useful: even brighter MR16 led
When the time comes. I'll give one of those a try too. |

Rose-pink multisized glitter suspended in a clear base. Great formula, the glitter is very easy to work with and distribute on the nail. Removal is a snap as long as you use acetone.
My favorite way to wear this is on its own, lightly layered over clear polish. It's a low-maintenance mani that is cute and sparkly and it lasts and lasts.
I feel that less-is-more when it comes to this glitter polish so I always try to apply with a very light hand.
It's basically a pink version of Essie's Set in Stones (one of my favorites). This is fun and beautiful and versatile as well. I'd definitely buy it again!

I like this polish but im not really sure if it is worth it. Compared to set in stones by essie it isn't nearly as nice. I find that the glitter is more scarce on my nails. The formula is good though. I just have mixed feelings on this. Sorry

I love this for my accent nail. I apply 2 to 3 coats and apply a nude colour to my other nails. Lovely. This and China Glaze snow globe are my most used glitter polishes. It contains pink glitters of different sizes suspended in a clear polish.
To remove, i use Bourjois remover, the kind that you dip your finger into the pot. Even then, it took at least a minute of soaking and scrubbing with my nails to remove it.

I love this pink glitter polish, it almost has a rose gold, or a dusty rose hint to it, that makes it look very classy. It looks great layered over nude and pink nail polishes, layered thickly over black, but my personal favorite is layered over a pistachio green color made by BP, a Nordstrom brand. Lately I've been painting all of my nails pistachio except for the accent ring finger, which gets a coat of A Cut Above. It's a very retro look and is reminiscent of 50s Formica countertops....in a good way.

Such a pretty sparkly pink. Lots of people think glitter nailpolish is tacky, but not this one. It's beautiful. Very easy to apply (even though I cannot paint nails) and easy to fix if it chips. The glitter applies very easily as well. However, it is very hard to get off. You definitely have to soak your nails in nail polish remover. Make sure to rub some nail cream in after :)

"Seizure" is a general term that refers to a sudden malfunction in the brain that causes someone to collapse, convulse, or have another temporary disturbance of normal brain function, often with a loss or change in consciousness.
Most seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain or by fainting (decrease in blood flow to the brain). Symptoms may vary depending on the part of the brain involved, but often include unusual sensations, uncontrollable muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness.
Some seizures may be the result of another medical problem, such as low blood sugar, infection, a head injury, accidental poisoning, or drug overdose. They also can be due to a brain tumor or other health problem affecting the brain. And anything that results in a sudden lack of oxygen or a reduction in blood flow to the brain can cause a seizure. In some cases, a seizure's cause is never discovered.
When seizures occur more than once or over and over, it may indicate the ongoing condition epilepsy.
Some kids under 5 years old have febrile seizures, which can occur when they develop a medium or high fever — usually above 100.4º F (38º C). While terrifying to parents, these seizures are usually brief and rarely cause any life-threatening, serious, or long-term problems, unless the fever is associated with a serious infection, such as meningitis.
In kids under 5 years old, breath-holding spells can cause seizures. These aren't the spells where kids hold their breath to get back at their parents. Instead, these occur in kids who have an exaggerated reflex so that when they're hurt or emotionally upset they stop taking in a breath (with or without crying hard first). They then turn blue or very pale, often pass out, and might have a full convulsion-like seizure in which the body is stiff and they're unconscious and not breathing. While scary to parents, these spells usually stop on their own and the kids almost never suffer any harm from them. Call your doctor if such a spell occurs.
In older kids, about 10% or more have standard fainting spells (also called syncope), which is often associated with a brief seizure or seizure-like spell. A child may stiffen or even twitch or convulse a few times. Fortunately, this rarely indicates epilepsy. Most kids recover very quickly (seconds to minutes) and don't require specialized treatment.
A child who is having a seizure should be placed on the ground or floor in a safe area, preferably on his or her right side. Remove any nearby objects. Loosen any clothing around the head or neck. Do not try to wedge the child's mouth open or place an object between the teeth, and do not attempt to restrain movements.
Once the seizure seems to have ended, gently comfort and protect your child. It's best for kids to remain lying down until they have recovered fully and want to move around.
Call 911 immediately if your child:
If your child has previously had seizures, call 911 if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or is for some reason very alarming to you and you're worried for your child's safety.
If your child is breathing normally and the seizure lasts just a few minutes, you can wait until it lets up to call your doctor.
Following the seizure, kids are often be tired, confused, or exhausted and may fall into a deep sleep (called the postictal period). You do not need to try to wake your child as long as he or she is breathing comfortably. Do not attempt to give food or drink until your child is awake and alert.
For a child who has febrile seizures, the doctor may suggest giving fever-reducing medicine like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
After a seizure — particularly if it is a first or unexplained seizure — call your doctor or emergency medical services for instructions. Your child will usually need to be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible.
