I just finished a marathon task.
I FINALLY booked all the details for a few days get away with our little boys. It will not be fancy, it will not be extravagant, but it will be fun. We have planned...
I used to travel.
I used to board airplanes and sit for hours and hours because it was the only way to get to the other side of the world.
I used to walk into the homes of people whom I...
I used to LOVE to travel. Trains, planes, automobiles, all of them. (Although I get car sick if I try to read in the car, so that is definitely my least favorite mode of traveling long distances.) I’ve always...
Our family has lived in the Dayton are for two years now and are loving every minute of it! Mine and my husbands family both live in southern Alabama so a few long road trips a year are always...
As a kid, I loved summer break. No school. Long days playing outside. Staying up late. Sleeping in. No rush. Just hot summer fun. (It was so hot - we didn't have AC in those days! WHEW!)

My husband and I are newlyweds and have been reflecting on our lives and how to merge our goals for the future.
My husband grew up in Dayton, Ohio and has been living in Dayton most of his life. He...
I’m always looking for small ways to infuse more fun into our day. And simple (boring) things like car rides can use all the help they can get. Here are a few cheap thrills to enjoy on your next...

I was having a casual conversation with a friend of mine recently and seemingly out of nowhere she asked me: "What has been your greatest adventure?" And I knew she meant besides the obvious, raising my baby.
She's talking about actual...
If you know me, you know I was not here for “hot-girl-summer” (which was really the summer of bug spray and anti-chafing products, am I right?) and come November, I’ll be full-on Grinch-Mom. I don’t hate things just to...
I am a working mom, and my job sometimes requires travel. I’ve traveled one week per month for the last three months. To someone with a travel-heavy job, this might not seem like much. To my friend who has...
Summer vacation brings to mind sand, surf, and sun. Most of us Mid-Westerners probably dream of beachy locations - some exotic like the Caribbean, others a bit more feasible like Florida or one of the Carolinas.
But what if I...
Vacation season is upon us, which is sending moms everywhere to hide in corners as anxiety creeps in at the thought of traveling with little ones. Oh, is that just me? I LOVE vacation but the thought of getting...
