We're thankful that our kids enjoy food as much as we do. I call them foodie kids as they are some of the most daring eaters for their age groups. Seriously. They will take fresh octopus salad over a chicken nuggets any day. But I remember when they were really young. We have always travelled and I … [Read more...]
The California Playground: Must See & Do List!

This allows me a ton of freedom and flexibility but also means that I am "on" all of the time. Send me an email and I'll … [Read more...]

Why Travel Matters.
My husband and I make travel a priority for our family. In fact, it was the only thing either of us wanted for Christmas this year - time away together.

Got the Winter Blues? My Top Getaway Recommendations!
It is that time of year - short days, little sunshine, bitter cold - all of the ingredients for a long, hard winter sprinkled with a good ol' dose of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Even if I don't really suffer from SAD I am impacted by the long, dark winter months and I know from years of … [Read more...]
Farewell, Summer!
