Typhoon Lagoon in January

Completely unplanned, we found ourselves at a Disney water park in January and it was amazing! What the park lacked in warmth it made up for in zero wait for every ride at the park. I actually may never go to a water park in the summer again…ok that is not true, but the off-season […]

Swim with Manatees in the Crystal River

If you are in Central Florida in winter then your plans should include seeing manatees. It is one of our favorite Florida activities, particularly as a way to break up the drive back to the panhandle. This time we rented kayaks and swimming gear from Paddles Outdoor Rental. They were so flexible and great to […]

Bamahenge & Dinosaurs in the Woods // Alabama

The moment I found out there was a full scale, although not complete, fiberglass replica of Stonehenge (named Bamahenge) less than an hour away from our house I made plans to visit. Jeff and I have been to the real Stonehenge in the U.K. but never got around to taking the boys. They were familiar […]

Weeks Bay Pitcher Plant Bog, Alabama // Photos

The Gulf Coast is the natural home of many of the world’s carnivorous plants. These Gulf Coast Pitcher Plant bogs are unique habitats that exist nowhere else on earth. Pitcher plants bloom in the spring, but even a fall visit or winter visit to the Weeks Bay Pitcher Plant Bog can be spectacular. Our visit […]

It is an incredible opportunity to see what makes Mobile unique and learn about industry and nature. It left us wanting to see more of Mobile. We took the Secretly Awesome […]

Travel Activity Books Your Littles Will Love

The hardest part of prepping for any trip is making sure I have plenty of activities to keep the kids busy. I like to be prepped not only for the ride there (plane, train, car) but I also like to have options for when Jeff and I want some down time, be it at a […]

Affordable Family Fun Anywhere with Chuckle & Roar

You may have noticed the new game section at Target stocked with beautiful games and puzzles from Chuckle & Roar. I was completely sucked in by the new games that looked fun, looked easy to understand, and looked like they would work for all my littles. Then I looked at the price and realized they […]

De Soto National Memorial & Jr. Ranger Program // Florida

We completely underestimated everything De Soto National Memorial had to offer. We stopped by on a recent trip to Tampa thinking we would spend a few minutes in the visitors center, but instead we closed it down. We spent all afternoon completing the Jr. Ranger Program and exploring the beautiful waterfront property. The biggest tip […]

Canoeing Blackwater River // Florida

This post contains affiliate links. On a beautiful fall weekend in October we joined some friends, who have older kids, on a canoeing trip at Blackwater River State Park. All our adventures as of late seem to be centered around water. The kids continue to be more confident on the water, which makes the trips […]
