Our family recently had the opportunity to preview the new Explore & More Museum at Buffalo’s Canalside where we dug deeper into the history of Buffalo and used our creative minds to build and play! From a 2-story waterfall to an “ice” rink you…
Thank you Maxi-Cosi for sponsoring this post. Keep your little adventurers comfy, safe & stylish with the Maxi-Cosi Magellan 5-in-1 car seat! Without any exaggeration, my husband and I get at least two comments a week from strangers telling us to sign Fox up…
A couple months ago, I was talking to my husband and a question came up: if we could go on a one-week road trip right now, where would we go? We discussed driving to Quebec, to New York City, even going down the East…
Before moving back to Western New York, we would visit my family there at least once per year. The trips involved big family gatherings, wings, and most importantly, a trip to The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. No matter how packed our…
If there’s one thing our family absolutely loves, it’s road trips. I was on a road trip when first met my husband, who was on a seemingly endless tour as a musician. A few short years later, we were driving from New York to…
Flying the coop out of my hometown for eight years came with both pros and cons, but one of the major themes that I couldn’t remove from my daily thoughts was my pride in where I’m from: Buffalo, NY. Buffalo is collectively known as…
When we first planned out our move, we had decided to hire a moving company to bring everything we own, minus our two cats and a couple of suitcases, from California to New York with us so we could do the “ultimate family road…
This past weekend was a busy one. We packed the weekend with trips around town, museums and errands. But the cornerstone of our activities was a lovely party in downtown Los Angeles put on by LA Mamacitas. We arrived at With Love Cafe for a…
On Thursday, Tyler surprised me with a trip to Malibu to go one a wine safari (as cool as it sounds) for my 30th birthday. Basically, you hop aboard a custom safari truck while getting a tour of an insanely cool private ranch where…
Today was a very exciting day in Beverly Hills where I was treated to a guided tour of Hulu’s The Mindy Project: 6 Seasons of Style at the Paley Center for Media. Better yet, I heard firsthand all about each item from the collection’s…
Fox is just getting to the age where he’s realizing that he’s not yet built for all rides and attractions. He gets frustrated at other theme parks when he sees people piling onto thrill rides that he’s too small for as of yet. I…
A few weeks ago I was invited to visit the Skirball Cultural Central with my friend Shiri and our families to see the Noah’s Ark exhibit — an interactive experience for both children and adults. This permanent fixture unique to the Skirball has all…
About three weeks ago, Fox started dancing around the house and he’s barely stopped to eat or sleep. This dancing machine started when he first heard Gangnam Style in the credits of The Nut Job, and he would specifically request that movie knowing he’d…
I’m slowly but surely crossing off a few items on my summer bucket list. Tonight’s adventure? The Hollywood Bowl! I had marked “interested” in seeing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on Facebook, and my sweet friend Suzie who runs the blog HappyMess…
I had an exciting opportunity in Orange County this week and I brought the family with me so we could do a doubleheader at Disneyland! It may be our very last Disney trip until the fall, so we knew we had to make it…
