Road trips are not a new thing for us. Packing up the SUV for a long voyage is our forte. But traveling during a pandemic is not. The 12 hour drive from Houston to our family lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri seemed a bit daunting with so much uncertainty surrounding us […]
Summer road trips with littles can be challenging, but with proper planning and preparation, they can be fun and you can arrive at your destination with your sanity intact! Recently I went on a road trip with my kids…let me be more specific:: Recently I took my nursing 5 month old, two year old, and […]
Vacations. Without kids. Without husbands. Still interested? A few years ago, girl trips were NOT my thing because of some bad experiences. It seemed like as women, we just couldn’t get it together enough to take a trip without drama. And then something happened. We had kids. And suddenly ALL the drama you can handle […]
Flying solo with young children is enough to make even the most seasoned traveler and copacetic parent break into a cold sweat. Thanks to family who live across the country and a flexible schedule as a stay at home mom, I have traveled alone with our kids quite a bit. While most of our trips […]

Over the past few months, we have noticed that our Facebook likes were climbing at a ridiculously rapid rate. We had set a goal of reaching 10,000 likes by our second birthday in September, but as we hit 7000…then 8000…then 9000… we knew that we would be hitting that goal much sooner than we anticipated! And […]
