We love traveling with the kids. It can be very tricky at times but being together as a family, seeing new things, is a joy for our crew. I always enjoy the questions we get ahead of the trip about the destination. They vary so much by age. Their questions about a destination also give me a lot of insight… Read More
I’ve been shopping Tea Collection for the kids for years. Each season, I love to see where Tea has traveled to and what new destination has inspired the line. Family travel is something that is very important to me and I like to teach my children about the places we are going to visit and places we hope to visit… Read More
I really enjoy traveling. Even with 4 little kids in tow, it’s something I love to do. What I don’t enjoy is packing for a family. Even when it was just me traveling, I have never liked to pack. Over the past year, I’ve made some “packing changes” that have really helped me stay organized and made packing faster, easier… Read More
We love to travel as a family and we have just about outgrown a hotel room. Typically we now have to get two rooms and given how young the kids are, connecting rooms or a suite are the only option. This summer we decided to try a HomeAway vacation rental. We hesitated in the past, mainly because I was always nervous… Read More
We just got back from a trip to Kennebunkport, Maine with kids. It was our first family trip to Maine. We like to try new places each summer, but we loved Maine so much, we are already planning next year’s trip. I’ve wanted to visit Maine for years, but put it off due to how long it was going to… Read More
Our kids get out of school in less than a week! I’m looking forward to no schedules and plenty of time for the kids to run wild in the back yard. While we don’t do “activities” everyday and they spend a lot more time just playing on their own, it’s fun to have some activities to either do with them… Read More
Flying with kids is not easy. We do it because we love to travel, but I assure you I do not think flying with 4 kids is fun. That being said, the tough years of plane travel with kids is quick – before you know it they’ll entertain themselves while you page through magazines and enjoy a drink. I remember the… Read More
Memorial Day Weekend, the official start to summer, is just 10 days away. In the weeks to come, the kids will all be out of school for the summer and family vacation time will begin. Now that 2 of my 4 are in school, I look forward to the summer so we can travel more as a family and spend… Read More
Tom and I have been saying since Maggie was born: “I can’t wait to take a family ski trip”. We’ve been lucky enough to go to Vermont with family a few times, but the kids were too small to ski. This year we were ready to have Maggie and Alex try ski school and let Tommy try a run or… Read More
Having our kids learn to ski is something that is important to me and my husband. We both enjoy skiing and it’s something we’d like to do as a family over the years. We both decided that having them learn from lessons or a ski school was also very important. We wanted someone to teach them the right way and… Read More
