Just because we are homeschooling doesn’t mean we are missing out on the time-honored tradition of school photos.

We were excited to have the chance to visit Giant’s Causeway with kids after missing it on our Ireland trip in 2011. Sure, the weather in early January was grey, windy and wet. That somehow only enhances …
We could tell we were going to love Genoa as soon as we pulled into port. The city rises from the water to the surrounding hills. It looks both modern and historic and was teaming with Christmas lights. Genoa is the home port of MSC. The MSC Orchestra received “rock star” parking at the old …
Since we arrived in the Netherlands two years ago, I’ve been wanting to have our photos taken in traditional Dutch costumes. Sure, it’s cheesy, but it is also really fun. I thought it would be a great souvenir for our time in the Netherlands. Now that our family of five is a bit older and …
