About Me.

Hello! I'm Elizabeth, a mom, travel lover and freelance writer. Along with my three energetic little boys and loving husband, we are always embarking on some sort of adventure. We've visited 34 countries and 25 states since having kids. You can expect lots of great travel advice for adventuring with kids. I also share how we incorporate our love of travel and everything we learned in Europe into our home. The kids are getting a bit older, so we've entered the world of homeschooling, which is its own adventure. As always, you can expect me to share my favorite finds from playgrounds to gear.

Up Next.

Trip Preparation with Culture Smart Guidebooks // Colombia

Homeschooling allows us to continue traveling with the littles. Each trip opens up a study of art, cuisine and culture. The prep work and lesson planning was easy to do in Europe, where I had a strong knowledge of the culture and history of places we traveled. As we plan for our next big adventure […]

Tales for Tiny Travelers // Review

This post contains affiliate links. I’m always looking for children’s books that link our travels with history. Our kids get so much more from our travels when our kids can connect what they are hearing on tours and seeing as we walk with a story. Tales for Tiny Travelers does just that. These books pick […]

Dutch Language Resources for Expat Children

We’ve been in the Netherlands for over two years now. The Big Little is a fluent Dutch speaker, the Middle Little is well on his way and our Little Little responds to some Dutch commands. Jeff and I still don’t speak Dutch but we can read and understand enough to manage life. We decided very […]

Wonderbly Personalized Children’s Books // Review

This post contains an affiliate link. We love to read. Even the Little Little loves to grab a book and babble as if he is reading. I don’t think we can ever have enough good books in the house, so when I discovered the personalized world of Wonderbly I was elated. Each Wonderbly book is […]

Make It Yours // Book Review

This post contains affiliate links. Since moving to the Netherlands and leaving most of my craft gear behind, oh and adding another little one to the mix, I’ve been much less crafty than normal. Yellow Owl Workshop’s Make it Yours grabbed my attention with the idea of making your own Delft blue pottery! The book […]

iGo Stories Travel Books // Review

After traveling, reading is our favorite activity. We recently discovered the iGo Stories travel book series. These personalized books place your child in the middle of a traveling adventure full of famous landmarks. My Big Little is completely obsessed with London. The “Adventures in London” book was the perfect fit for him. You start […]

The Illustrated Book of Sayings // Book Review & Giveaway

“Oh! You’ve got chicken skin” says another mother to me on the school playground. I stare at her blankly. Turns out she is talking about my goosebumps and thinks I should have worn my jacket. Later, I’m using Google Translate to help me understand a WhatsApp conversation and find the phrase “it was like an angel […]

Santa’s Beard Book // Review & Giveaway

We’ve unpacked the Christmas decorations already this season. We did not bring many of our decorations with us but the holiday books all came along. The books are able to transport us into so many fun holiday worlds, and inspire many great crafts for the littles. They are truly my most favorite thing to unpack! This year […]

Photographs From the Edge // Book Review

Photographs From the Edge combines the beautiful photos of nature photographer Art Wolfe with his insights on how he captured each of the photos. This is a wonderful book to add to a travel or photo book collection. Sure, it makes a great coffee table book, but it’s so much more! As a traveler I was inspired […]

The Forest Feast For Kids // Book Review

The Forest Feast for Kids is a delightful kids cookbook that is a collection of food photography and cooking. This is the first children’s book from popular food blogger Erin Gleeson. The book is stunning and makes you want to make the food! We eat a vegetarian meal several times each week and this book […]
