Road trips are a great option for families looking to explore. Especially for those of us with small children who can’t refrain from licking airplane seats, armrests, and windows. We quickly have become relative experts in road trip entertainment...
Who is up for a day trip? In these times? Okay I understand your hesitancy, but what if I told you, you could take your family on a road-trip that was Covid-conscious, family friendly, and within driving distance of...
For the past three summers, my husband and I have enjoyed an adults-only vacation to Tucson, Arizona. We go for a week with fellow teachers, usually soon after school is done for the year. Our dear friend’s parents own...
A parents-only getaway is a true luxury. My husband and I have been married for ten years, and as of last month had never been able to get away for more than one night since welcoming our three kids.
Pure...
“Mom? Am I allowed to do this?!” My son grinned from ear-to-ear as he tore into his own tender, whole rotisserie chicken.
I had experienced Dolly Parton’s Stampede pre-children during my college years. It was a great time then, it’s...
My favorite weekend destination from Kansas City is a Branson road trip! Whether it’s spring, summer, winter, or fall, Branson has it all! Here are some highlights for your trip to Branson:

My 4 year old conveniently forgets things like which shoe goes on the correct foot, but can rattle off at least 10 species of dinosaurs with ease. When learning animal noises, my 18 month old was roaring like a...

When we take home our babes from the hospital, we ride in the back seat. We triple check the straps. We cringe at every pothole and curse any car that dares to come within 10 feet of our car....
As many people do during the summer, my husband and I decided to take a good, old-fashioned family vacation. We have two daughters, ages five and two, so it’s safe to say we were naively optimistic when landing on...
Any other moms who grew up in the 80s? When plane trips vacations were absolutely not the norm and station wagons (with wood panels) flew down the highway every weekend from May through September?
Growing up, my grandparents lived 4...
I'm the mom of little littles. Three years old and 7 months old, to be exact. The ideal trip for us can be made within a few hours of Kansas City, for either a quick weekend or even a...
We are a road trippin' family. We routinely switch off between Omaha, St. Louis and Wichita for a summer weekend. So this year when given the opportunity to take an Oklahoma City road trip, we were excited to explore! OKC...
