If you have been following me, you may know that I have some deep roots in Arizona… Tucson in particular. While my heart will always be in the Bay Area, my soul is in Tucson. Let me explain… I was born in Tucson, moved to San Jose, CA when I was two-years-old and lived there …
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 …
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 …
Every year, my in-laws plan a trip to South Lake Tahoe for the week of the 4th of July. Last year was the only year we were unable to make the trip since Shayne was only a month old and I was having too many reservations about taking her that far from home. This year, we …
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. …

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, …
As a child, some of my fondest memories are of our trips to my grandparents house in Tucson. My sister and I traveled there several times per year, and for six weeks every summer. It was our second home. A home which we were spoiled rotten. This was very different from our regular home lives. …
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 …
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 …
