Denver has so much to offer when it comes to family friendly activities— the zoo, the children’s museum and excellent ice cream. And as an added bonus, your spring break might feature a bunch of snow!

Family Itinerary: 5 Days in Yosemite

Our trip top Yosemite really exceeded my expectations. I don’t think of myself as an outdoorsy person but my family had so much fun that I’m now looking up all different National Parks to see what I want to hit up next.

Family Itinerary: Five Days in Lake Tahoe

The scenery in Lake Tahoe is unreal, the weather was perfect for spring skiing and the snow was higher than Harlow’s head.

Family Itinerary: 5 Days in Miami

The kids had the first week of January off so we took them down to Miami. We stayed on the other side of the bridge from South Beach, which really gave us a new perspective on the city. Miami is much more than a beach!

Family Itinerary: 5 Days in Mont Tremblant (Summer Edition)

I took Mazzy on a one-on-one mother daughter trip to Tremblant Resort in Quebec. It was an outdoorsy adventure trip, so, no, we did not go shopping or get our nails done.

Family Itinerary: 4 Days in New Orleans

Going Back to the Top of New York City

This year, a full 17 years after 9/11, and about 30 years since I had been to the top of the Twin Towers with with my dad, I decided to take my kids up to the top of One World Trade.

Travel Tube: Mommy Shorts in LA

At the end of last year, Mike and I took the kids to LA for four days. We’d been there many times before, but never as a family. Turns out, LA is a great place for kids!
