Joshua Tree Guide
I’ve been intrigued by Joshua Tree since 2017 when I, on a whim, decided to stay a couple nights with my fellow mommy blogger friend Isobel Benesch. We stayed at the famous “Joshua Tree House” and explored the town with our boys. At the time we each had 2 boys under the age of 4. […]
Powers Family Road Trip 2019
Do you have a happy place? I have a couple of happy places; they’re places where I’ve collected good memories. Santa Cruz, CA is one of my favorite places; it holds a warm nostalgia for me…the nice hippies you meet, the rugged combination of coastline and redwood trees just does my soul good. We go […]
Aulani Disney Resort: Experience Real Aloha
Aloha in Hawaiian means hello, goodbye, and love. But it also has a deeper meaning; “aloha” can also be described as an attitude or spirit- a way of life. Aloha is being a part of all things and one with nature and it’s creator. This is aloha and this is the Hawaii we experienced at […]
The best things to do in North County San Diego
If you’ve ever watched my stories on Instagram than you probably know me as the mom who is always out and about. We are frequently on the go because my boys loves to be out and they’re a little less crazy when we aren’t at the house… so it’s a little out of necessity that […]
A Day In Davenport
We’re going on week 3 away from home and to be totally honest with you I’m tired of living out of a suitcase and I’m dreaming of swaddling myself in my own sheets. But I’m grateful for time with family and that Sam could help fix up the parts of the family beach house that […]
Summer Essentials for Zero boredom
When I was a kid summer meant running free outside in my ruffled two-piece, getting tan as a berry (since it was the 80’s and sunscreen wasn’t really a thing) … I’d wear myself out everyday and fall asleep watching “Full House” at the end each day. Summer created adventures that were long lasting and made me look forward to […]
Lakeside for a few days
We’ve been on a family road-trip that started July 3rd. First we drove to Santa Cruz, then to Lake Almanor and then back to Santa Cruz to help with family beach house renovations. We spent the last weekend at Sam’s parent’s cabin and it was the just amount of slow needed to relax and just be. […]
Growing Up with Northstar CA
It’s not often a girl has a relationship with a mountain that spans 3 decades. As a child I spent many hours in Tahoe on Northstar mountain with my family. In a way I grew up along side this resort. I have seen it go from a mountain with chair lifts to a destination resort complete with […]
Tiny Travels: Palms Springs
It’s been about a month since I snuck aways to the dessert with my boys, but even though this trip was quick it was memorable and super fun because we brought Nana and Papa along…. and if you’re a parent then you know having 4 extra hands is extremely helpful. We stayed at the newly […]
Tiny Travels: San Diego Harbor
Last week I took a mini road-trip with my boys using the Roadtrippers app. We headed to a place that holds many memories for me…. San Diego Harbor in Point Loma, my old college town. San Diego is a huge city with charming enclaves; you could visit and explore SD for months and just scratch the […]
