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.

Living it Up at an All-Inclusive in Mexico

The first morning there, we woke up, got dressed in our bathing suits and beach cover-ups (well, Mike wore a t-shirt and shorts) and headed straight to the breakfast buffet.

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.

Reading about our itinerary is one thing, but seeing everything we did on video hopefully gives you an even better sense of all the fun we had in New Orleans.

Family Itinerary: 4 Days in New Orleans

I always knew New Orleans as a place for drinking, jazz and crowded streets. Mazzy and Harlow will remember it as a place with great climbing trees, fancy boats, butterflies and pillow doughnuts.

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!

How to Help In Puerto Rico

In times like these, I don’t like to pretend that I’m living in a mommy blog bubble where real world stuff doesn’t affect me. I want to be helpful, and if I can’t do it by providing a laugh, then I look for another avenue.

Family Itinerary: 3 Days in Central New York

When I first told the girls we were taking a trip upstate, Harlow said, “You mean— uptown?” That’s how you know you are raising city kids. Here’s all the details and drive times for Howe Caverns, Animal Adventure Park, Chittenango Falls and more.
