MOMcation 2012
You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting quite as much lately. That’s because I’ve been busy planning MOMcation 2012. This is the third year for MOMcation. It’s a weekend retreat for MOMs and MOMs-to-be to take some time out for themselves.

In-Flight and Road Trip Entertainment for Kids
We travel. A lot. We love to travel and work hard to make the most of our vacations. My family is a three hour car ride away, and it takes a minimum of two plane rides to get to Craig’s family. Our kids have always been great travelers, but every kid has their limit. Over the past five years, through research, trial and error, and paying attention to what the parents around us are doing, we’ve … Read entire article »
Camping with Small Children
This is a guest post by my husband, Craig, who recently took our two young children on a two day camping trip to Toad Suck Ferry Park near Conway, AR.
