NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/30/12 -- Kim Orlando, the Traveling Mom, teamed up with some great companies for some simple, easy traveling solutions during the busy holiday season.

First things first. Plan ahead. Make a travel list. Download traveling apps which will help along the way. Second, since traveling isn't free, stick with a card that gives money back on holiday and travel spending. The Chase Freedom Credit Card, from now until December 31st, earns 5% cash back on up to $1,500 on purchases made directly with hotels, airlines, Best Buy and Kohl's.

Tis' the season for giving back so choose a hotel that's doing just that. Book a two-night weekend stay at Hilton Garden Inn using the Holidays With Heart rate and they will make a donation to Feeding America to fight hunger. Additionally, the Holidays with Heart rate comes with a complimentary cook-to-order breakfast! This great deal for a great cause is available at all U.S. hotel locations until January 6th, making holiday lodging a breeze through the New Year.

All moms know to pack toys, games and their child's favorite electronics before any car or plane ride to keep them occupied. But it's just as important for moms to arm themselves! Check out the new LG Optimus L9 smartphone, available from T-Mobile. Sleek and stylish, the L9 is the perfect tool to keep busy moms organized thanks to its Dual-Core processor, impressive features and exclusive apps like QuickMemo. Download tons of great apps from the Google Play store for everything from task-management to travel apps. The T-Mobile 4G network allows moms to organize for trips with lightning speed; and here's the best part: the LG Optimus L9 comes complete with a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, Voice Shutter and true 1080 HD recording and is ONLY $49.99 with a two year agreement. You get all the features of the most expensive smart phones for a fraction of the cost!

Safe travels this holiday season!
