Airport Horror Stories.

Airport Horror Stories.

Everyone has them. I thought I was an exception, even when my two hour flight turned into ten hours because of storms and I had an eleven month old with diarrhea, I didn’t think it was that bad. Also I was compensated a $100 travel voucher and I ❤ travel vouchers. But this trip… it was … Continue reading

Packing Light

Packing Light

We are getting ready to fly cross country tomorrow, and I have to tell you I’m a little nervous. I have one lap child and one, four year old (almost five). My thoughts are I want my hands to be free because kids themselves are hand fulls. So all three of us are packed into … Continue reading

Riverbanks Zoo

Riverbanks Zoo

Riverbanks Zoo Columbus, SC As you know, when I road trip we make lots of stops. On our recent trip to Virginia I planned our route about 30 minutes out of the way so that we’d have a good first stop, and really just a good start to the day.  The kids never mind the extra time … Continue reading

Greensboro Childrens Museum

Greensboro Childrens Museum

Road trip! I know I’m a pansy to some but I like to think I know what I can handle. I can not handle two screaming kids in a car for 8 or more hours…I perfer no hours of screaming kids. Usually I split my trips to VA into two days…not this time. My son … Continue reading

Free museums, too.

As the summer approaches and school lets out, we are all itching to get up and go.

Last summer when we traveled through about 20 states … Continue reading

They have fun little centers like a ship, a bank, a store, rock climbing wall, and of course and indoor sand … Continue reading

Free Pass

Free Pass

Most of my military spouse friends already know that the NPS now is offering FREE annual passes for military starting last Saturday.  This is something I encourage you to take advantage of. This is something my family paid for in the past when we were stationed in Lemoore. It completely paid for itself, plus more. … Continue reading

Essere Magazine

In April, when my son had his spring break, you may remember that we went to Virginia to stay with our friends in the Virginia Beach area, and our family in Charlottesville. While we were in Charlottesville I contacted a photographer I had the pleasure to work with on her vintage inspired series last summer. … Continue reading

Beach Sunday

Its getting hard to remember to blog. On Sunday my mother-in-law decided to stay an extra day. We were already late for church and my daughter was tired so if we’d went we would have had to leave early… so let’s go to the beach. I was sad because my beach pass has been missing … Continue reading

The bathroom isn’t private anymore

On my last trip up to Virginia before parting ways with my mother-in-law I thanked her for helping me and stated “you have no idea how grateful I am to poop without holding a baby.” This made her chuckle a little but its 100% true. I’m not sure what people thought if they even thought … Continue reading
