Last weekend Great Wolf Lodge invited us on a media trip to experience their new ‘Summer Camp In’ that will be launching across all properties Memorial Day through Labor Day. It was our first time going and we had so much fun. Piper was over the moon excited for days leading up to the trip […]

I’m so excited to share my next travel guide! If you’re not familiar with how my travel guides work around here — I typically am only able to jet away for 24-72 hours since I have 2 young children. I try to pack as much as I possibly can into that time period and share […]

Snack boxes!! I’ve seen this idea on Pinterest for years, and last summer before our 12+ hour journey to Maine I bought one to fill for Piper but ultimately decided she was still a little young (just having turned 3). But on our 6 hour trip down South last week I knew Piper was ready […]

Last week’s Tip Tuesday post on Instagram was all about activities to entertain your kids for upcoming spring and summer travel in the car or airplane. While it seems the activities for kids 2 and up seem endless (hello, screen time) – it’s that 12-24 month phase that can be really challenging. Short attention spans, […]

Oh, how long I’ve been waiting to write a travel post about PARIS! It’s been nearly 2 months since I visited the city of lights for the first time, and most certainly not the last. Even in the pouring rain it was EVERYTHING I dreamed of and more. It left me craving another trip and […]

SO EXCITED to share our travel guide. I decided to work on this as soon as we got home so everything would be fresh in my mind. I tried to break this up into categories – overall it’s a guide to the Acadia/MDI/Bar Harbor area and how we spent our time the past two weeks […]

We are heading on a long road trip to Maine and I thought I’d update this old post with toddler friendly activities for the car. While I’m all for using the iPad to watch movies and shows on long road trips I definietly don’t want Piper glued to a screen for 15 hours. Many of […]

We recently got back from our first beach trip with both kids. We went to Bethany Beach,DE with our friends and their 21 month old daughter and we had the BEST time. We learned a lot about traveling with kids, multiple families, beach gear and how to balance everything and still manage to enjoy ourselves, […]

Traveling this summer while breastfeeding? I asked a bunch of mamas to share their tips — with everything from gear you may want to have on hand, to advice (don’t worry about feeding in public, just DO IT! ) to milk storage (MilkStork!!). There’s some great advice below! ADVICE Just do it! Don’t think twice. […]

Travel season is upon us – and if you’re anything like me you are itching to get away this summer. But then you think about the stuff. The hauling. The naps (or lack there of). The over-tired toddlers.   If you’ve done it before, you know that traveling with kids is an experience. It’s amazing and […]

I get asked a lot about ideas for what to do in Annapolis and had so much fun recently showing off the city to a group of bloggers with Visit Annapolis! Today I’m going to do a little recap of our trip – and also share my top 10 things to do if you’re visiting […]

Travel season is upon us! I feel a little guilty since we have yet to take Flora anywhere besides my in-law’s and by this time Piper had several trips under her belt — guess that’s the reality with baby #2, right? I recently polled The Mama Notes Inner Circle about their very favorite travel gear […]
