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…
This past weekend we drove 5 hours up the coast to Monterey for Mother’s Day weekend. We’re pretty lucky to have a child who oddly loves to take car rides, but we do keep a handful of healthy snacks in the car (fruit leather, berries,…
Before we had a little one, my husband and I embarked on one last trip as a duo overseas. We landed on Japan as our destination and, lucky for us, the dates that worked best with our schedule fell during peak cherry blossom season. I…
I’m sitting in a hotel room here in Texas reflecting on the last week or so. I’ve met so many new family members, friends, strangers on planes, and the one question I seemed to answer ad nauseam was “What do you do for a…
Whenever we travel to a new country, there’s always a focal point attraction type that you seem to be able to drown in as your trip progresses. For example, in Ireland there are castles, in Japan you’ll see plenty of shrines and temples —…
In the middle of the Sólheimasandur black sand beach in Southern Iceland lies a crashed United States Navy Douglas Super DC-3 airplane that crashed in the 1970s. No one was hurt and the fuselage was left on the beach where it still remains. It’s safe to…
Hello from Iceland! We made it here in one piece and so did our luggage. But I have to be frank with you, packing was not fun. I dare you to try walking into a Los Angeles mall in 100 degree heat and ask…
Fox is generally a really good flyer, but it doesn’t come with ease. As parents, we know that traveling on the plane with an active toddler isn’t going to be a cakewalk, but we do have tricks to make it more comfortable for the…
Ever since Tyler and I met, I have been bragging about the cool Buffalo fall weather and the trips to pick out a bright orange pumpkin. I’ve tried in vain to thoroughly enjoy the patches out here in Southern California, but just like Jay…
I’ve arrived! The last year of my twenties. We went to Disneyland yesterday (and renewed our passes for another year while Fox is still free!) to celebrate and eat all of the snacks. Although we go to Disneyland often, it’s most fun for me…
When our family set out for Cardiff to visit the Doctor Who Experience, I have to admit that I had no idea what we were in for. I’d seen the photos online, some video, but nothing prepared me for what was to come. We…
We did it! We survived our first time apart from our kiddo. For someone who can barely make it through a nap without wanting to wake him up, I’m shocked 😉 Our trip to Kauai, Hawaii was outrageously fun — our friends got married…
It was rainy when we arrived in Cambridge, but that didn’t stop us from taking a stroll through the quaint little area. Fox was in love with the scenery along the Backs and made friends with a couple ducks while we waited for our…
