The most difficult meal to eat healthy on vacation (for me) is breakfast, hands down. With another trip just weeks away, this is my plan for how I will eat healthy during breakfast while on vacation1 What are your tips & tricks?

One of Our Favorite Cities to Visit

New Orleans, Louisiana!

We try to make the trip at least once a year as a family vacation. I know a lot of people visit the city…

After a little bit of a spring break hiatus, my blog finally has a new post up!  It's my usual Friday list of wacky things I've learned recently, including the realization that the shit purposely waits to hit the…

I have never been to…

Ok, I am addressing the elephant in the room. What elephant, I have you wondering? The traveling one, huh, what?? Well, ok, the not traveling one. It’s bugging me – this state of staying put. It’s just a pest. I am so antsy, I need to get a move on. Ok, you get it, enough with the animals. But the truth is I just can’t stay put any longer. It is truly killing me. I am so ready for an…

Well, I'm back home today from my Mommy-cation. My sister Sienna and I had a really nice trip.  We got some rest and now we're jumping back into our regular lives.

If you ever have the chance to visit Echo Canyon Spa in Sulphur, Oklahoma, I highly recommend it.  Even though they initially double-booked the technician doing my pedicure so that I had to wait until the next day, they more than made up…

If you ask Imma if she could go anywhere in the world, where would it be, this is what she would say, "Getta go water-owl? Ok!" And tomorrow, she does getta go water-owl! 

What is water-owl you may ask.  Why, Great Wolf Lodge, of course.  I'm sure you had that all figured out already, didn't you?  If you've ever been there before or seen a commercial for it, you know that Great Wolf Lodge is an indoor…

Tonight, I got home from “vacation” and I feel like I need a vacation. The family that I nanny for was off this week, so Greyson and I had a few days to ourselves. Unfortunately, Matt had to travel for work, so the baby and I were on our own. I decided to head to my mom’s house for the week for a little relaxing vacation to visit with the family. I…

I was quite young when my parents started taking me to different museums and I always enjoyed them. My imagination would start getting wild. I am a firm believer that museums are a great family outing. They are a chance to spend some time together, exploring, learning about the past, present or the future, trying new…

When most people think about staying in a nice hotel, eco-friendly doesn’t exactly come to mind.  Think about all the people taking hot showers, running the air conditioning in their rooms, and watching TV, not to mention washing all the towels and bedding.  It’s mind boggling to think about how much energy is being used.  But, believe it or not, there are hotels that not only care about offering comfortable amenities and convenience to their guests, but care about our planet as…

Planning for a relaxed, laid-back, nature-themed getaway? Don't go to Phuket.

Phuket is not really a very romantic and relaxing place to go to.  A lot of people for sure will disagree with me on this.  This is my stand, though.  Prior to going there, I had the same idea as most people. But after two trips to Phuket, I already know that it is no place for…

Last week I shared with you my excitement over my impending girls weekend. While the week leading up to our mommy getaway seemed to drag on, the actual weekend flew by, sigh. Isn’t that how it always works? I’m not sure if it was the extra sleep, extra wine, extra calories, or extra laughs, but I am feeling all insightful today. Here are the ten things I learned from a girls weekend away from kiddos.

1.…

Caribbean Island that are close to the US, like the Bahamas and Virgin Islands, get the most buzz for family winter getaways. But islands further south like  Grenada, Dominica and Barbados have neat…

It's cold here and I am ready for winter to be over.

I want to put away my snow boots and resurrect my rainbow assortment of flip-flops.

I'm ready to smell like coconut-scented oil and have the leather car seats burn the backs of my…

“…Expectations kill relationships. And I’ve known expectations as a disease, silent killer heaping her burdens on the shoulders of a relationship until a soul bursts a pulmonary and dies.” ~ Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts

Whoever coined the phrase “family vacation,” clearly never checked-in at the airline counter with eight bags of luggage and two car seats. They probably never guided four children through post-911 airport security. And I’m…

One of the best islands I've been to in Thailand is Koh Lipeh.  Koh meaning Island, so the island of Lipeh.  My friends and I had a blast. We always have smiles in our faces every time we reminisce those moments.  We went there by super speedboat.  It was damn scary.    It felt like we were just gliding up and down the big waves.  There were few times when it felt like the boat was falling especially after a big wave.  I had the same feeling when I first went on a Ferris Wheel back…
