10 Things to Have in Your Carry On Bag

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

Mystic, CT Top 10

Over spring break we visited Mystic, CT for the first time. It was easy to get to (about 1 min off I-95), family friendly and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend visiting.

Designing a Shared Room

Designing a Shared Room

  Designing a shared space for two little girls with totally different personalities is not an easy task. When we first created the girls shared room, they were too little to have an opinion (1 & 2.5). Now, they’re 5 & 7 and have very specific interests, favorite colors and ideas. I created a shared bedroom for my girls when Alex… Read More
