Next week is spring break so the girls and I (along with a few other girls) are heading to Kansas City to celebrate the big day. We’ll get a great Irish Breakfast at Raglan Road Irish Pub, take their shuttle to the parade, come back for live music and spend a bit of time at [...]

I’m as guilty as the next person when it comes to turning on a DVD for my kids to watch during long drives. Or relying on the in-flight movies. Let’s face it… It’s easy. But it can also be quite mind numbing- as my kids have pointed out to me on a few occasions. Looking [...]
Live like no one else so later you can live like no one else.

It may seem a bit peculiar at first glance for a traveler to visit a place where debt is dumb and cash is king. After all, many people run up credit card bills to take the vacation of their dreams. We [...]
We Just Got Back, a terrific family resource for vacation planning, has a new giveaway- a 3 night family beach getaway to TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in Florida. With lots of sun and almost as many fun activities this looks like an incredible getaway!
Prize consists of three consecutive nights accommodations two adults and two children [...]
Earlier this week I told you about a contest. It was a photo contest and required a bit of work. Well, my entry was included in the finals- along with 50 others. So, I have a one-in-51 chance of winning this trip. It’s a week long stay at a Tuscan resort. Oh, yes, I want [...]
I am a bit crazed when it comes to keeping things handy during road trips. With a 3 and a 5 year old it can be tricky as the minute things hit the floor they are out of reach- not to mention the crayons and markers rolling about.
These are the five products I can’t live [...]
My one BIG disappointment living in Iowa is the fact that our “international” airport really isn’t. I think the only reason we are allowed to call it international is because FedEx or UPS fly into Canada from here. It’s rare to get anywhere from here without a stop at someone’s hub: Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis…
And [...]
Both of these contests are time sensitive and both are incredible so I wanted to share them immediately (besides, Friday will be too late!)
First up, an amazing contest from CiaoBambino:
Win a week long stay at Casa Cornacchi Country House in Tuscany! You can get all the info on entering here. Read the details carefully and [...]
I’ve already been researching the new JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort as we will be vacationing here in September (compliments of a contest I won a while back). I am beyond excited as it has been 5 years since we visited San Antonio and the resort looks absolutely amazing!
The prize in this contest [...]
When I am asked for travel tips one of the first to come out of my mouth is: Talk to strangers! It goes against practically every grain in my body to do so as I am an introvert by nature; luckily I have been blessed with a husband who can talk to and find common [...]
Number one on my “bucket list” is a transatlantic voyage on a Cunard ship. If that’s a dream of yours, you’ll want to enter this contest sponsored by Travel + Leisure.
Grand Prize includes: a 6-day or 7-day Transatlantic Crossing for two aboard Queen Mary 2 departing New York and arriving in Southampton, England Value appx. [...]
I was at a conference at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel last week (no, not that one… this one). And while I didn’t experience a lot outside the conference goings on (it was a busy four days, ya’ll) I did take some time off to leisurely stroll through the gardens, walk by the river and rest [...]
I am so excited to share the new Family Rambling Travel Journal!
Because I share our travel tips I wanted a notebook that was easy to use, would fit in my bag and wouldn’t get too beat up. I tried- and destroyed- quite a few until I found one that really worked for me- and [...]
Ireland is, hands down, my favorite place in the world. While I plan our return to her shores I asked Leigh Maher, owner of the online Celtic jewelry store: Irish Celtic Jewels, to share his top 5 kid-friendly tips. On his blog, he shares tips and information about all things Irish, including jewelry, weddings and [...]
