If you're planning a San Francisco Girls' Trip, you'll love reading my trip recap from a recent weekend getaway! I recently took a San Francisco Girls' Trip and even though it was a few weeks ago now I am still living in the memories. As a busy mom, allowing time to get away with my girls is ...

Northern Michigan Vacation
I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and went to college in lower Michigan, but 15 years ago I moved away from my home state. Somewhere in the back on my mind, I think I assumed I'd end up back there someday. Here I am, though, settled in Ohio with little likelihood of ever living there ...
Spring Break 2017: Club Med Cancun Yucatan
We spent last week on the beach in Cancun, Mexico. Want to see? I'd love to share our family vacation with you. Lots of pictures. More pictures than words. And I feel like I have to say this: there's a mix of crappy iPhone pictures with nicer shots with my big camera. Note to self: lug out the big ...
Disney World Vacation Recap
I wanted to do a Eat More Plants Challenge Update while I was at Disney World. Really, I did. But then Disney happened. Sometimes I have to just live life with my family and not worry too much if I get behind on blog work. I hope you'll forgive the delay. While I thought about the Eat More ...
What I Ate Wednesday: New York City Edition
I spent last weekend in a wonderful, pinch-me-I-must-be-dreaming kind of way. I went to New York City for a girls weekend! No kids. No husbands. Just three moms getting a chance to have fun and pretend our only responsibilities included shopping on 5th Avenue and having wine with lunch. I'll ...
Punta Cana Vacation
Greetings from Punta Cana! I'm writing this from the airport, where we've already gone through check-in, immigration, and security and still have two hours until our flight leaves. When you travel with my husband, you never have to worry about missing your flight. We always arrive at the airport ...
The Anniversary Post
Yesterday, Tim and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. We were able to get away for one night to have some alone time and celebrate our love. We returned to the same place we went on our anniversary when I was pregnant with Luke. Ohio isn't exactly known for its scenic hiking, but there are a few ...
Home Again
We got home late Sunday night from an amazing, but too short trip to northern Michigan. Seems everyone was traveling home Sunday after the holiday and what should have taken us eight hours took us eleven. Eleven hours in a car with two kids sounds fun, right? It was awesome. As I lay in bed last ...
Arizona Dreamin’
It was mid-January, and we were in the midst of the coldest, snowiest winter I'd experienced since moving away from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan 18 years ago. The frigid temperatures and sunless days were taking their toll. The conversation went something like this: Me: We need to get away. ...
Disney World in pictures
Please excuse my absence from blogging as I was busy making memories with my family at Disney World, and then spending this week recovering from said vacation. It always takes me a week to get back into my regular routine after a vacation. Am I the only one? I actually spent at least two hours ...
Post-vacation blues
We're back from our Upper Peninsula of Michigan vacation. I was born and raised there and I'm still not used to the crazy weather. You just never know what you're going to get. Even though we had a few chilly, windy days, it was a wonderful vacation catching up with family and friends. We have ...
Jamaican Vacation
White sand beaches. The ocean, warm and salty. Eighty-five degrees, blue sky and sun. Really, that's all I needed. That could be the whole trip recap. Jamaica was fabulous and I want to go back. Why can't Jamaican vacations be a monthly affair? We stayed at Sandals Montego Bay in an ocean ...
