Every summer, my daughter goes to her grandparents for three weeks. One week each month of summer break. Sometimes they stay home and just chill. I mean, come on. They have a great house only 10 minutes from the beach and a pool in their backyard. Can’t ask for a better combination, right? Plus, they…
Summer vacations are amazing ways for families to spend time together and create some wonderful memories. There is nothing better than soaking up the sun, feeling the sand on your toes and relaxing in the surf watching your children. Those moments of fun and frolic are usually captured by little ones running along and hunting…
My family traveled for several years with my husband’s job. I have to admit, in the beginning it was fun to eat at restaurants and fast food joints that were unfamiliar to us, disregarding the amount of fat, carbohydrates and calories we were consuming. It wasn’t fun to realize that I’d outgrown some of my…
I love taking road trips. I find it relaxing and really, the best way to get to know your Nation. There are so many great finds when driving off the beaten path. Long lost structures, old signs that may have been there before the roads were paved. Just love it! Not sure if you got…

School is just about out, (if it isn’t already for some of you lucky ones!). So, it is time to think about what you are going to do to have fun with the children! What happened to Summer School? Just Kidding! My kiddo would disown me if I brought that idea up to her! Parks…
Traveling opens up a whole new world for our children {literally! }. When children are younger there are so many stumbling blocks to traveling a lot: diapers, pack and plays, strollers, nap schedules… The list goes on and on. As your children grow it becomes easier to travel with them, but there…
I love planning holidays for our family and a road trip to some of our favourite destinations in India is a must-do every year. Driving can be a great way to enjoy your vacation if you are prepared for it. We normally plan two to three short vacations every year and if the destination is…
