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 …
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.

My girls were itching to get out and play in the sun but it’s been fairly …
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 …
We’ve all heard the terms homeschooling, road schooling and unschooling but in light of the recent NPR article that talks about how play is important essential to brain development and the fact that many schools are cutting recess down even further I’m coining the new term play schooling and am making sure my children get as much hands off …
Since we are new to the area and having not spent a lot of time in the Southeastern part of the country very much at all before moving here a year ago, it’s been fun to go out and see and explore new things in the towns near us. There are so many things on my list to go and …
