Our First National Park
We just wrapped up a big trip to 9 national parks in the Rocky Mountain region, but coincidentally, an article I wrote about the FIRST national park my daughter ever visited published this week. If you’re interested, you can hop over to the Hot Springs, Arkansas website and learn about the rather surprising National Park located right in the middle of town. You’ll also learn about how the Junior Ranger program works and get some … Read entire article »

A Weatherproof Family Weekend
Looking for an easy weekend getaway this summer? Or, anytime, really? The kids and I spent the weekend in Rogers, Arkansas recently and had a grand time.

January Cross Training: Week 4 #xtrainJan16
Well, I have to say that week 4 of this project has definitely been the toughest. Frankly, I’m running out of new workouts to do.

Florida’s 30a Beach Trip on a Budget
Vacations are something that every family needs (IMO), but planning one on very limited funds can be stressful. We love the beach, but getting (and staying) there frugally can be a real challenge. We are lucky that the nearest beach is one of the most beautiful in the world, Florida’s Emerald Coast, which is also known as the Beaches of South Walton, and sometimes just by the name of the highway that runs along it … Read entire article »

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. We love to spend our vacations in Costa Rica, so we check on the information on flights from Aerobell Airlines to get the best deals. Our kids have always been great travelers, but every kid … Read entire article »
