Vacations with Keith are so much fun, and made even better with proper accommodations. There’s nothing worse than ending a great day on vacation and hitting the sack in a stinky, dirty hotel with a lumpy bed and pillow. I try to steer clear of such accommodations, but also try to be mindful of my […]

There is something fun about having a regular girls’ night where you can forget about the worries of the week and just hang with the ladies. What’s even better is a girls’ getaway! These are few and far between for many of us, and it’s kind of sad because they are awesome! Planning a casino […]
Reasons to Stay at Yosemite RV Resort
School ended a couple of weeks ago and we kicked off summer with a bang! As soon as school got out, I loaded the family in the car and we drove to Yosemite! I hadn’t been since I was a kid so I was long overdue. My 6th grade twins had a science camp at […]

Spectacular Family Accommodations in St. Louis
This summer, Keith and I took the whole family to the mid-west for a family reunion. Because we are a family of 6, we often run into the dilemma of one room or two, except when we luck out with a local Embassy Suites. Embassy Suites was once again there for us with spectacular family […]

The last few months have been a little rough with two back-to-back surgeries. Recovery has meant putting a hold on travel, which can be cause for withdrawals. Lucky for me, I have a love for Carmel by the Sea, and I can get there in a 3 hour drive. Between surgeries I took my family […]
