We love hiking as a family, but it usually ends up being more of a nature walk than a serious hike with toddlers in tow. When we visited Zion during one of my pregnancies, we knew we’d have to take things slow and steady. Fortunately, we found three great hikes for beginner and intermediate hikers,…
Our three and one year olds are really into Peppa Pig right now, so when I found out there was a Peppa Pig Theme Park on the route of our recent Florida road trip, I knew we had to stop in. We’re planning a Disney World trip for later this year, and our toddlers have…

Full disclosure, I had no idea that Philadelphia was much more that the Liberty Bell and South Street (two huge tourist traps). That was until I moved there and got a taste of…
Panama City, Panama is full of pleasant surprises. Full disclosure, I never really thought about visiting Panama. Then, I started perusing websites looking for a deal on a flight/hotel in the Caribbean, and Panama kept coming up. In an effort to find a warm weather locale for a trip for my winter birthday, I bet on…
