Our recent stay in the Cayman Islands has us spoiled when it comes to upscale travel with the kids. Imagine yourself staying at a Caribbean resort where all of your needs are taken care of -from twice-daily maid and food service to beachside pampering to on-property childcare. Now just to be clear, we didn’t get […]
Family Travel To The Caribbean with Special Needs
Our family travel for the past couple of years has been limited to the United States. However, we knew that we wanted our first family trip to be to the Caribbean. Our recent trip to the Cayman Islands was our first overseas family vacation since my 3 y.o. was diagnosed with PDD. I’ve come to […]
Yay, I got ’em! Passports for kids – The Ins, Outs, and Drama
Here’s the video version of my post-passport elation. Yes, this post is a little late since we’re already back from our vacation but just like the passports for our kids…better late than never!
Why You Should Get Your Child That Passport
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post and it’s mainly because I’ve been going through the vacation travel planning process. One thing I’ve learned about myself during this process is that when I’m under heightened levels of stress, I retreat. I am super focused, I’m quiet, I just don’t talk. I don’t […]
Free Summer Concerts – Fun For The Family
Like anyone else, I enjoy a good concert, but they can get pricey, especially if you want to see one every week. Free concerts offer the best of both worlds, enjoyable music and ease on the pocketbook. Many cities offer free concerts and festivals in the summer. If you happen to be in the Baltimore […]
Vacation, Healthy-Eating, and Fitness: Can They Co-Exist?
Staying on plan with healthy eating and exercise never ceases to be a challenge when I travel. As relatively consistent as I am when I’m home, as soon as I hit the road or skies, a SHUT-OFF button magically appears. It’s like an auto-relax button that says vacation, exercise and healthy-eating don’t always belong in […]
Wilson Capris – A Fitness Addict’s Review
As someone who works out 6-7 days a week, I’m pretty picky about my workout gear, specifically capris. As a traveling mom, who likes to workout even while on the road -besides form and function, I’m looking for style and packability in my fitness clothing. The Wilson tennis capris fit the bill for me in […]
Postcard Giveaway
There’s just something to be said about receiving a note in the mail. Opening the mailbox and finding something from someone other than the mortgage company or your cell carrier always warms the heart. Remember when you’d send a postcard from your latest travel destination? That was often the best souvenir anyone could give me […]
Travel during allergy season – Quercetin may be your savior
Do your allergies feel more out of control than normal this year? Is this your first year ever getting allergies? Well, you are not alone. A growing number of allergy sufferers are reporting the same observations. Mine sure did when they first started killing me softly back in early April. At times, I was […]
Food Should Taste Good
As much as I am in to fitness and clean eating, I have to admit that I am a snacker – a big one. Thus, my quest for healthy snacks is an ongoing one. I mean, come on, after a while almonds and string cheese can get boring. Luckily, I’ve found a tasty chip devoid […]
