With international travel being quite cumbersome these days due to covid we have done a lot of domestic travel over the last year. Our most recent spur of the moment trip took us to northern Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. We chose to stay in the central location ofContinue reading “The Grand Canyon – June 2021”

Disney’s Aulani Resort- Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii
I’ve been wanting to stay at Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawaii for a long time now. We are huge Disney fans and even though we travel to Walt Disney World multiple times a year we’ve never made it out to Aulani. We spent 10 days in Hawaii in February 2021 so I finally got toContinue reading “Disney’s Aulani Resort- Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii”
Potty Training Tips
Let me start this by saying I am by no means an expert. I’m not a pediatrician or a urologist and I do not have a degree in child psychology. What I am is a mother who has potty trained 5 children of both genders, that have all been potty trained by age 2. SoContinue reading “Potty Training Tips”
Bugaboo Donkey2 Stroller Review
It’s safe to say we’ve gone through a lot of strollers this year. With soon to be 5 kids under 5 we have been on the search for the best stroller so we’ve tried several! It all started when we realized our original double stroller, a Graco, was actually a giant piece of junk. WeContinue reading “Bugaboo Donkey2 Stroller Review”
Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?
The short answer is yes, absolutely!! When we told people we were planning on spending 3 weeks in Europe as a family of 6 with 4 kids under 5 and nothing but 2 backpacks we got a lot of *unsolicited & mostly unhelpful* advice! Everyone was quick to tell us that we were crazy, butContinue reading “Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?”
Disneyland Paris
It’s no secret that we are huge Disney fans. We visit Walt Disney World 5+ times a year and enjoy every second of it! So one would think that it would be a no brainer for us to visit Disneyland Paris while in town, but that was not our plan! We only had 5 daysContinue reading “Disneyland Paris”
Paris France January 2020
If you have a fantasy like dream of visiting Paris sipping espresso and eating macaroons beneath the Eiffel Tower in a picturesque setting then I advise you to stop reading now. I too had romanticized Paris. I took French throughout school as my foreign language and was smitten with it. When cheap flights to ParisContinue reading “Paris France January 2020”
Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review
A few years ago in 2017 we were at Disney World with one of our old crappy double strollers (we’ve had a few) and we saw a man get on the bus and fold his stroller flat so effortlessly. I spent the rest of the bus ride trying to figure out what kind of strollerContinue reading “Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review”
Getting Around Germany by Train
Germany has an amazingly efficient and expansive country-wide rail system. You can go basically anywhere in the country quickly and cost effectively. Your public transportation options include high speed ICE trains, regional trains, S-bahn, U-bahn, Trolley/Street cars, and city buses. Germany also has long distance buses but they are not as efficient as train travelContinue reading “Getting Around Germany by Train”
Munich Germany December 2019
We arrived in Munich on December 26 to find that the city was all but shut down. Apparently this is called the second day of Christmas and is still celebrated as a national holiday just like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Who knew? We had planned on visiting some of the museums and monuments inContinue reading “Munich Germany December 2019”
