This trip to Oahu was in partnership with the Oahu Visitors Bureau and their partners. About 2 months ago, Kevin and I found ourselves planning a last minute trip to the island of Oahu. Say what?! Travel like this isn’t something that usually sneaks up on you as a surprise. Kevin travels quite a bit as a …
If I could go back and change one thing about our summer it would be that we didn’t take any family adventures. I don’t mean a big elaborate vacation to an exotic location. But there is something special about a family adventure and the way it draws us closer as a family. When we get …
When we traveled to Keystone this past Christmas for a family ski trip we had the opportunity to take a little break from all things snow and enjoy a Sunday Family Pajama Brunch at the Bighorn Bistro. What a treat! Traveling with kids can be pretty exhausting, even though everyone is having fun. Unfortunately I …
Well we sure closed 2014 with a bang. The kids and I, along with a few family members, had the opportunity to spend a few days skiing at Keystone before Christmas. 2014 was a hard year for me so the vacation was definitely exactly what I needed! This ski trip was really special for me …
The simple smell of classic Cajun dishes like Gumbo or Jambalaya remind me of my many visits to New Orleans. Because our dad traveled to the area a lot for work when we were growing up we often accompanied him during those travels for a little family road trip. Most of our time was spent …
Written by Erin Truax, guest travel writer This spring I had the opportunity to go skiing for the first time at Beaver Creek.

Christmas break 2013 managed to be the perfect blend of low key relaxation and fun after last year’s very busy and full holiday season with a lot of visiting family that I played host to. This year was fun with skiing, ice skating, tubing, cooking, movie going, and plenty of peaceful laziness in between. My …
As someone who has been on skis before, but without proper lessons during my first experience, I am 100% sold on the Adult Ski Lessons at Vail. My first time skiing was nearly 12 years ago. I spent the better part of my day falling on my bum, losing my skis, and crashing into other …
By the time you read this Eric and I will be well on our way to Vail, Colorado to enjoy and celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Sound fun? The best part is that Eric doesn’t know where exactly we are traveling to. Until last night believed that we had plans for a Friday day ski …
Though Napa Valley may be known for its grape vineyards and wine tastings, there are plenty of other activities to indulge in while visiting.

My life is CRAZY. Can you believe I’ve slept in beds that do not belong to me more than I’ve slept in my own bed this month? I’ve been to Boulder, Chicago, New York City, Park City, and Boulder (again). From house hunting, to blogging trips, speaking in conferences, attending conferences, and more house hunting …
We’re packing up the kids and car to spend a few days in Colorado during our upcoming Spring Break. Sounds fun, right? Unfortunately, we’ll likely be doing more work then play. Why is that, you ask? We’ll be house hunting! Yep, that’s right. After 7 years in Albuquerque, we’ll be changing things up. I have …
I recently had another opportunity to travel to San Diego. After my second trip this year, I dreaming about moving to there some day. What a gorgeous, fun city. There is always so much to see and do…and of course EAT! Here are a few of my favorite sweet treat stops from my most recent …
