Recently I was featured in a Redfin article about what to do in Santa Barbara, California. “Santa Barbara has long held the reputation for beauty that borders on the unreal. Tucked between the glimmering Pacific and the Santa Ynez Mountains, it’s a place where Spanish Revival architecture meets coastal vibes. This city doesn’t just offer […]
Have you ever wanted to have a family getaway that was actually just easy? Our roadtrip to Carlsbad felt that way. Maybe it was the sunny, spring weather, the proximity to the ocean at all times or our kids being in good moods, but our weekend was absolutely a breeze from start to finish. […]
An ideal family getaway needs a few things: easy travel, great hotels, and fun activities for the kids. Our long weekend exploring the Reno-Tahoe territory had all of this– and more! The Reno-Tahoe Territory is a stunning area of the US, comprising 6 different regions. On my 3 night trip, we were able to explore 3 […]
Traveling with kids is never that easy. However, after many trips with our first born, we have an adaptable 4.5 year old who is a breeze to take on vacation, like that on Cape Town Tourism! But wait, it doesn’t end there. We also have her little brother; an energetic, sweet 1.5 year old and […]

It’ll be a day I never forget and though it wasn’t all together easy or without hiccups, it was definitely worth it for the memories of her experiencing this magical world of all her favorites characters in real life. She is 3.5 and […]

Having a newborn is a lot like being thrown into the middle of the ocean on a very little boat. There are moments of calm when the sun is shining and it is smooth sailing. But there are a lot of torrential storms and rocky moments when you aren’t sure if you are going to […]
Pregnant with my second child, I thought my pregnancy and birth would be just like before. Boy, was I was very wrong. Both the pregnancy and my delivery were completely different than my previous experience with my now three old, Aurora, but both ended up okay. With Aurora, my pregnancy was not that challenging. I […]
Though there are many California beach towns, each one has its own attitude and vibe. At this point, our family has explored many of them from cliffs of NorCal to the laidback shores near the Mexican border. But there’s something about Santa Barbara, located in right in the Central Coast, that is on a level […]
As a native Vermonter, it always gives me the greatest of pleasure getting to experience hotels in a place that I know so well.
