I’ve been traveling with kids for the better part of a decade but this past year has been different. I am traveling with a couple “big kids” and it’s really cool. The boys are still very much “little kids” but the girls can read, write and have all kinds of opinions and input into our trips. I can remember trips… Read More
Some people want to wait to go to Disney World until their kids can go on “all the rides” and some people want to go when their kids are little enough to believe in “all the magic”. I understand both sides, as a ticket into the park is not cheap. That being said, we went when our kids were really… Read More

I have quite a few new ones to share but to kick the Halloween season off on the blog I’m starting with a list of 15 favorite I have made… Read More

She loves to do crafts so we decided to turn our playdate into a special crafting party with several of her friends. When I host playdates, I… Read More
We’ve vacationed at Four Seasons Orlando twice now. Both trips were wonderful and I would highly recommend the resort for families with children of all ages (our kids are 7, 5, 2 & 1). Even our youngest, Miles, who was only 9 months when we visited a few months ago, had an absolute blast splashing in the pools. If you’re… Read More
We took 4 kids ages 6 and under to Disney World and lived to tell about it. Not only did we survive, we had a really great trip. In addition to having a great trip, we even found time to relax. Having a fun, relaxing and memorable trip to Disney World with an infant, toddler and two children was truly thanks to… Read More
Earlier this month, our family visited the Four Seasons Resort in Orlando. It was an amazing trip from the minute we checked in. My husband and I couldn’t believe just how accommodating the resort was to our family. My parents came along to help us and even though they were on a trip to Disney World with 4 grandkids, they… Read More
