Travel + 5 Kids + Real Life
Reading Time: 8 minutes We were kindly gifted our stay at the Gaylord of the Rockies. However, opinions expressed here are our own. A Christmas cheer settles over my family the last couple of days after our visit to the Gaylord of the Rockies in Denver, Colorado. What fun memories we made! In case […]
Reading Time: 10 minutes Hey, friends. This is not a typical travel post. In fact, it’s just a personal post. Why am I sharing? Because so many of you have reached out to let me know that you’ve had a similar experience. Or are dealing with a trauma of your own. Or have brain […]
Reading Time: 8 minutes As I write this post, I am on my plane back to Porto, Portugal for my quick trip to the USA. I am, surprisingly, alone. Something that I rarely experience in my current life. I, Leslie, flew back to the USA for 10 long (or short, depending on who you […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Who else loves Halloween? Anyone else look forward to Halloween as much as Christmas (ok, maybe even a bit more)? Probably just me. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. I try to soak it up as much as I can. I have a zillion little traditions I’m trying to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes One of our Kauai favorites by far: Queen’s Bath! This was a primary reason we stayed on the North Shore of Kauai. We didn’t realize that we actually booked about a mile away. This little gem is tucked neatly into a neighborhood and you’d never find it without looking it […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes It’s day one in Kauai and it also happens to be our anniversary. Hooray! Honestly, we are tired from traveling, but we made a great effort to celebrate. Chris and I are purists when it comes to celebrating special days and we like to go ALL OUT on the day. […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes We attended our second Halloween party at Disneyland and loved it both times with all our Halloween-loving selves! I’m a HUGE Halloween fan- in fact, it is a very close tie with Christmas as being my favorite holiday. Some years, I enjoy Halloween more. I think I feel less pressure […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes When Chris and I first did this tourist must-do in 2012 or so, we checked it off our list and didn’t really plan to go back. It was really interesting, but crowded and not our favorite thing. I knew I wanted to take the kids back and see it with […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes We didn’t have any spectacular date nights in this month. I dreamed of a helicopter ride or plane ride and those are available. However, in the end, I just didn’t want to spend the money. We did some local malls- True Food for dinner was yummy. We went to some […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Muir Woods is right outside of San Fran and is a great place to see the Redwoods. This was another experience we wanted to share with our kids. Chris and I visited on one of our “post-baby moons” to San Fran. We ended up taking our third and fourth babies […]
