February break for NYC schools is one we reluctantly look forward to. While we all welcome a week off from school in observance of President's Week, we also never know if it will be a week that we are stuck indoors due to snow or if it will be a milder winter week. This year my husband wasn't chancing it and decided it would be a good time to get away for a few days, even if it wasn't far from home. We decided to spend the week in the Poconos, ...

7-Eleven Offers Fresh Food Options For Summer Travels! #7EFresh #AD
Our summer travels will be limited to car trips this year, but that won't hold us back from exploring neighboring states and various activities for our children. Being prepared with appropriate snacks is a must, but having healthy options is ideal. Fresh fruits and easy to transport veggies are my ideal of good snacking, but I have seen my girls go through a few days worth of fruits and veggies in just one sitting. You won't hear ...
Nintendo Keeps Backseat Passengers Entertained During Summer Travels
It's so easy to get excited over summer travels, but this year things are going to be quite different. With a spring baby on the way, we are limited to where we can go and what we can do. Air travel is out of the question, so car trips seem like an easier option with 3 kids. Longer car trips generally make me a little anxious because I know we will be making frequent potty trips and kids can easily get bored. Thankfully my girls are easily ...
Travel Light With Baby Bjorn + Enter To Win Your Own Travel Light Crib! #Giveaway
After being a parent for nearly 6 years and taking baby steps towards a family vacation with the little ones, I feel like I've just about mastered the art of packing appropriately and bringing only the necessities. We took our first family trip when my oldest was 6 months old. This was our first time away from home and I wasn't sure what to expect- I packed it all! Every bottle we owned, diapers to last for weeks, enough clothing changes for a ...
The Inglesina Swift Is Our Top Travel Stroller!
If you had told me last year that I would be taking 6 trips with my little ones this year, I would have laughed at you. My husband and I always knew that we would travel with kids, but we didn't put much thought into when or where. Disney, of course, is always on the backburner when you have kids, and we will be taking our second trip to Disney World in a few weeks. We've learned a lot from our first trip to Disney to our most recent cruise trip, ...
Top Travel Must Haves
Packing for vacation with two little ones doesn't have to be stressful. I've taken my girls on two round trip plane trips this past year, and will be taking them on two more before the holiday season. In between that, we will also be squeezing in a cruise, which will be an exciting adventure for our whole family since none of us has had that experience yet. Packing depends on your lifestyles, activities, and of course, the weather. I've always ...
A Weekend Getaway in Philadelphia #VisitPhilly
Now that my youngest baby is getting older and able to withstand being in the car a little longer, we've been taking more family trips on the East Coast. Philadelphia is one of our favorite places to visit because there is so much to do for children of all ages. A few months ago we took a trip to see the rivalry of Geno's vs. Pat's in their Philly Cheese Steaks. While this would have made a perfect day trip sans kids, we found that we needed to ...
Traveling With Kids and Some Of My Favorite Travel Items
Traveling with kids is no easy feat, but I'm sure it does get easier with each trip you take. Our first family mini trip was for my first daughters 2nd birthday. We took a car trip to Lancaster with a few cousins. It was the farthest we had ever been from home with her, and we under packed clothes. She got car sick, which was something we weren't prepared for. Every trip after that we always knew to pack extra clothes. The most recent trip we ...
