Filed under Driving, Travel Resources
Quite often we take trips that bring up the question, “Should we fly or drive?” In our home this isn’t a question to take lightly; my husband is a contractor so no work = no pay. Often we fly because the additional expense is less than the loss of income due to an extra day [...]

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.

10 hours. 5 states. 3 bloggers. 1 minivan.
One now… 1 sponsor! A huge thank you to…

On the Road Again
I’ve been working on plans for the past few weeks for a winter getaway for us. Because Doug’s family is in Texas it made sense to plan something in the south. We haven’t been down in almost 3 years and it will, hopefully, be warmer there than our home in Iowa in late [...]
