I love a great bag. And a great travel bag? I’m so there. So when Mom Select sent me this Ibiza Flight Tote last week I was pretty excited.

Wisconsin Dells is a huge vacation destination if you live in the Midwest! Some members of my family went last year & loved it. You can read my sister’s account of their trip here. I have fond memories of my trip in the late 90’s. It’s just fun.

I got an iPod Touch a couple of months ago. I love it! Funnily enough I have no music on it. I also don’t have any videos or movies. What I do have are some great apps- most of them free!

Filed under East Coast, USA

Once in a while traveling with kids and off season can keep you from doing the things a town is famous for. Because, when you think Salem, you think witches. It’s automatic. Kind of like baseball & hot dogs. So when we ventured north of Boston to Salem I [...]

I love a good notebook. Though I claim to be a geek of all things “techy” there is really nothing better to me than paper and a pen. So when I found the Moleskine City Notebook for Boston I was enthralled. I now had a great book to note our explorations, thoughts [...]
