It was a great opportunity to have a living classroom for our son that was easy on our pockets and served as a discreet teaching moment as well…On an eighth of a tank of gas and for less than a Benjamin, that’s one Mediterranean trip for a family of four that would have anyone shouting “Opa!”
Travel and Healthy Snacks
Eating healthy while you’re traveling or on-the-go doesn’t have to be a chore. It takes a little pre-planning and preparation, similar to that needed when packing for an infant.
Five Fun Family Vacation Activities Your Kids will Love
As summer quickly approaches, many families are finalizing summer camp and family vacation activities for their kids. Most kids if given the choice would probably opt for family vacation time over camp any day of the week. And why not? It is an opportunity to spend fun quality time with their parents and create new […]
May Festivals in D.C.
Spring and Summer are the best times of year to enjoy festivals and outdoor events in the MD/DC/VA area. The New Yorker in me generally keeps me away from crowds, however, there’s something about the combination of sun, music, mobile foods and a good ole fashioned street party that overrides my slight enochlophobia. Street festivals are like living, breathing classrooms […]
Mommy Getaway: When Mom Travels Alone
I can’t help but feel giddy about the upcoming cruise I’m about to journey on. The cruise is a 4-day retreat for women, marketed as a Moms-cruise, complete with pampering events, self-care and self-help seminars, as well as mom-centric social time. I’m straying from calling it a mom-cruise because while I’m on that ship I will not be wearing […]
Traveling to the Theatre with my Kids

The show looks energetic and vibrant and although I’ll be “roughing it” to the theater by myself with them, I’m looking forward to the experience. You can listen to the full Interview with Stepp Stewart here […]
Parents without kids – relaxation or more work?
I’m always baffled @ how much preparation it takes me to get my kids straight if we’re going anywhere without them. It’s a lot of work leaving them in someone else’s care, especially during evening hours. My husband has it easy – all he has to do is show up and drive. In the meantime, […]
Staycation: Travel In Your Backyard
After this weekend’s blizzard in Maryland, there was absolutely no reason to think about going up to a ski resort to catch some powder. We got tons of it – 30 inches in my area to be exact. This is the time where you say to yourself, who needs to pack up the car when […]
Traveling Power Mommy?
As I enter the new year and come to terms with how much I enjoy traveling with my children and helping make it easier (hopefully) for other parents, I’m considering ways to take it all to the next level. 2009 was a whirlwind year for us travel wise. My soon to be five-year old truck hit the 100k mark the […]
I’d like to be on a beach right now
It is unbelievably late and I am still awake! Here is where I take a departure from the idea of Traveling with Kids. Right now, I’d actually like to be on a beach . By myself. No husband, no kids, no responsibilities. All I’d like is my bathing suit, my phone and my computer. As […]
