We recently had the pleasure of visiting our first Caribbean island as a family. We packed up all three kids and said adieu to the cold miserable winter weather and hello to the beautiful warm weather and waters of Aruba. I have been dreaming of this trip for months and really it was quite perfect. The girls enjoyed running back …
Ok, so just before you start to judge me, please know that I have been to Disneyland many, many, many times. Like more times than I can figure out in my head right now. I am from California (born and raised) so Disneyland was a given (a freaking awesome given). That I did not take for granted. But the truth …
When we were planning our MidWest Mega Road Trip (click here to see our daily vlogs on YouTube from our two-week MidWest tour), I knew I just had to plan a full day to explore Chicago. I had never been to Chicago before, and neither had my kids and I just knew it would be so fun to explore a …
We had the awesome opportunity to head to Chattanooga this past week to more fully research the area and report on fun attractions and activities for families in the area. It was a REALLY hot day. Like REALLY hot. So I am grateful we chose to start the day at Creative Discovery Museum. It was air conditioned and cool and …
It’s a trip that I’ll never wish on anyone but inevitably we all have to make at some point. You get the phone call and a rush of emotions come and fly through you all at once. Depending on the family member or the friend it may be a total surprise or shock (those are the worst kinds) or maybe …
When planning this epic long road trip, I knew we had to make a stop at the Mall of America. I remember once watching a special on the Mall of America on the travel channel (I watched that A LOT as a teenager) and thought I had to go. I’ve actually been a couple of times over the year but …
I’ll admit it, its been more than a few years since I’ve climbed a tree. When the opportunity came to explore the treetops near home in Knoxville, Tennessee, I jumped on it. Navitat Canopy Adventure Knoxville is part of the Ijams Nature Center which is conveniently located just a few minutes from downtown. Although it is just minutes from civilization, Ijams …
In case you may have missed it, I am about five months pregnant with our fourth child. I love to travel and for the exception of the first trimester, pregnancy does not slow me down. While I have been pregnant in the past I have taken cruises through Europe, train rides in Alaska, and avoided raw fish in Japan. …
We just got back from an amazing trip to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama. This trip was a dream and everything we could have hoped for in a beach trip. Definitely in our top 5 U.S. Beach destinations. There was something for everyone in the family, the girls had so much fun at the Gulf Shores Zoo playing with …
On our recent visit to Nashville, Tennessee with kids we were looking for something fun and educational to do with them that was a little outside of the box. While researching places, Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Art Museum kept coming up as a fun and unique place to visit. The idea of a large open space with scupltures and things …
