During the beginning of our trip to Carmel, we knew that we wanted to take the little ones to The Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is such a wonderful educational place for them to learn the importance of protecting our wildlife and also a wonderful place for them to play and discover. The Monterey Bay Aquarium …

Taking Back January
December is the most magical month in my opinion. From Christmas trees and holiday lights, to presents, huge family gatherings and all of those Christmas parties! By the end of the month, I can’t help but feel drained and overindulged. Not to mention stressed beyond belief. My husband and I have began our own personal …
Maui Vibes
Watching the rain pour down on this January afternoon, has caused me to sit back and reminisce about our wonderful, tropical vacation to Maui, Hawaii. Life has been so hectic since our return so time has gotten away from me. I can’t believe it has been over two months since our plane landed and we …
Beach Babies
Our recent trip to Maui was so incredible and quite possibly the best family trip we have had so far. Shayne and Kolton are really starting to appreciate new experiences and absolutly love the beach, the pool, the sand and the sunshine! Kolton was not quite 4 yet at the time of our trip and …
Summer Travels :: Meeting My New Nephew
My sister and I have always been extremely close. Since we were young, we would talk about remaining close and living near each other forever. We always planned on having children around the same time, and raising them to be close just like us. Unfortunately, life can sometimes get in the way of your childhood plans. …
Packing for a Road Trip :: Lake Tahoe
We try to travel with our little ones as much as possible. Whether it be a flight to Arizona to see family or a drive to the beach to stay overnight. It is important that our kids see as much as we can show them at an early age. We have several trips planned this …
Traveling Made Easier with Baby’s Away!
As I have said many times, traveling with little ones is definitely not for the faint of heart. For being so tiny in size, they sure do require A LOT of supplies and extra attention to detail. The last thing we want is to get to our destination and have them uncomfortable, unable to sleep, …
Traveling with Littles – Tucson Trip part 2
The second part of our trip contained much less action. While everyone really enjoyed the excitement of having a full house with an active toddler running around, it was definitely a nice change to have a little quiet and time to relax. Friday, after Curtis and Kolton left (I was of course very sad to …
Traveling with Littles – Tucson Trip part 1
As many parents will tell you, traveling with little ones is not for the faint of heart. We dared to make this feat with Kolton under 3 and Shayne only 5 months old. Luckily we did not choose a destination that was too far of an airplane trip away. We flew into Phoenix from …
Spina Farms Pumpkin Patch – It’s Becoming a Tradition
This was the second year that we have chosen Spina Farms Pumpkin Patch to pick out our pumpkins, and although it was more crowded than last year, we were not disappointed! They have some wonderful activities for toddlers and kids of all ages, including a hay maze, tractor rides, a mini train, pony rides, a petting …
