Back-To-School: ZÜCA

August 10, 2016 By Stephanie 4 Comments

ZUCA rolling backpack

Our family was first introduced to ZÜCA carry-all bags seven years ago – and they quickly trumped all other carry-ons in our luggage collection! These smartly-designed, rollable suitcases include usable pockets and slick wheels. As a bonus, the bag actually doubles as a (decently-comfortable) seat. Our almost-10-year-old daughter used the Hanami bag all last year and received compliments in droves. […]

Travel With Kids: Yosemite National Park

June 14, 2014 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

There are some places in the world that sink right into your soul. Yosemite National Park – like Yellowstone National Park – is such a place. It’s so majestic, so unearthly in beauty, that you can’t help but want to get right down on your knees. It’s no wonder that Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite […]

Travel With Kids: Irvine

June 11, 2014 By Stephanie 2 Comments

Irvine is famous for many things. For starters, it’s part of ever-popular Orange County.

Reasons to Stay On-Property at Disneyland

April 30, 2014 By Stephanie 3 Comments

Is it worthwhile to stay on-property at Disneyland? Some people say “yes.” Some people say “no.” We say: There are many good reasons for staying both on and off-property…and whatever gets you to Disneyland is a good way to go! ;) There’s certainly something magical and “all-inclusive” about staying on-property at Disneyland. Being immersed in […]

Lesser-Known Attractions at Disneyland and California Adventure

April 26, 2014 By Stephanie 3 Comments

Where do you head as soon you step foot into the Happiest Place on Earth? If you’re like most people, you’ll run straight for your favorite rides – the “classics” that have made Disney what it is today – including Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Peter Pan, and Dumbo. Those attractions are famous for a reason […]

Best Airlines for Families

March 1, 2014 By Stephanie 7 Comments

Flying with children (especially small children) is an exhausting, but worthwhile endeavor. Exhausting because the hours are long and the space is small. Worthwhile because plane rides lead to visits with relatives, educational experiences, and transformative moments that will change a child’s life forever. As parents, we appreciate even the smallest gestures that welcome, entertain, […]

Travel With Kids: Mobile

When I say “Alabama,” I say it all drawn out and southern style, with a hint of country music in my voice. Like this. “Allllaaa…BAMA.” It’s a fun word to say. Try it. At Tim’s request, we toured the USS Alabama. I surprised myself by having a lot of fun – walking from deck-to-deck, climbing […]
