Why Orlando {But Not Disney} Should Be Your Next Family Vacation
Chances are if you have traveled to Orlando, it was to visit the magical world of Disney. When at Disney World, one most likely does not leave the grounds. I have recently discovered that Orlando has a lot to offer outside the gates of Disney. On two separate occasions, I have tagged along with my husband for business conferences in Orlando....
Have you ever driven hours to get to your beach vacation destination, dying to get out of the car and get toes in the sand only to remember you have no food where you’re staying and no meal plans? This has happened to me one too many times.
I pull into the closest Target or Walmart near the condo we’re staying and just start throwing groceries in the shopping cart with no plan in mind. Problem with that is I end up missing main ingredients for certain dishes. If you find yourself in these shoes too, I’m sharing the grocery list and meal plan I follow now. This comprehensive vacation grocery shopping list will be essential in contributing to future...
In an effort to show our kids as much of the country as possible, my husband and I started gifting Spring Break trips as Christmas gifts to our two children a couple of years back. Our kids love traveling and have seen many states in their young years. Last year we when we were deciding on where our next adventure will be to, it was really a no-brainer.

The downside to travel is the challenge of packing, being away from your creature comforts, and finding yourself needing something that you have at home. In the last 15 years of traveling with my husband, and now a toddler, I’ve found these five things to be essentials whether we’re going 500 miles or 5000.
Packing Cubes- I am, in a word, obsessed with packing cubes. I first used them for a big international trip and they were a lifesaver. Now, each family member has their own color. It makes it easy to grab red for the baby or...
As a mom with really short arms and driving a minivan, I have run into my fair share of complications. One being the constant need for napkins or passing food on road trips. So I dreamed up the Minivan Zip Line. It's just as amazing as it sounds and we're always getting comments about it. We've even had people leave notes on our window in parking lots. We've been repping the Zip Line for years now and I can't imagine road tripping without it!
Here’s what you need for the Minivan Zip Line:
- 2 heavyweight command hooks
- 2 pulleys (Lowe’s/Homedepot)
- nylon cord/paracord
- carabiner
- lots of trial and error on baskets/bags
- one of those live strong style bracelets
The command hook on...
