Our Favorite Road Trip Toys

We have been on the road most of the summer and with even more planned this autumn, we have honed in on some of the best road trip entertainment that doesn’t involve screens. It is not a secret that we love our “movie van.” I’m happy to drive a few hours with the videos playing […]

Southampton, U.K.

Prior to crossing the Atlantic on the Queen Mary 2 we spent a few days exploring Southampton, U.K. Upon our arrival on the same ship three years earlier, we bypassed the city, heading directly to London. This time we took the opportunity to enjoy a few lazy days in Southampton. The main purpose of staying […]

Peppa Pig World // Southampton, UK

Peppa Pig World is part of Paultons Park which is located just outside of Southampton in the U.K. We had passed it up when we arrived in Europe on the Queen Mary 2. We didn’t want to miss it again, three years later, when we left Europe, by boat once again. We scheduled a few […]

In addition to stunning natural landscapes the parks tell the history of the United States from its origin as Cherokee […]

Our Backyard Play Space

Playing outside is so important to my family. We love having structured and unstructured time outside. When we move into a new house we set to work getting the kids’ indoor playroom and outdoor play space set up. Each house is a new challenge, but we always come up with something fun that both adults […]

The Best Beach Gear for Kids

This post contains affiliate links. Now that we live just blocks from the beach we go a lot, in case you had not noticed from my Instagram! The Gulf Coast of Florida has beautiful white sand beaches that almost make me forget how much I hate sand! Regardless of my feelings, the Littles love heading […]

One Day Visit to Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure with Kids

We spent one day at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure in Orlando with the sole intent of doing The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. When that took far less time than anticipated I persuaded my Big Little (7) to take a loop around both Universal Orlando parks to find some other fun. I was […]

Spend the Night at Zoo Atlanta

As we travel we like to look for experiences that indulge our children’s curiosities. Currently, that means animal encounters. Our Easter visit to Atlanta perfectly coincided with one of Zoo Atlanta’s Night Crawler family programs, so we signed up to spend the night at the zoo. Zoo Atlanta’s Night Crawler program accepts children five and […]
