Heading to Legoland? Make my DIY Lego handbag to bring with you! I made an adult size bag and a child size bag so my daughter Kayla could carry her minifigures while we stayed at Legoland California for the opening of their new Legoland Castle Hotel. These bags are easy to make, look SO CUTE and are probably the most fashionable lego bag you’ll find.
Our family headed back to Great Wolf Lodge for their Halloween celebration, Howloween this past week and I thought I’d share some of the highlights. While we were there we took over the Great Wolf Lodge Instagram for the weekend so here’s our trip, mostly in squares.
When was the last time you found yourself laughing so hard you couldn’t breathe while surrounded by a group of friends who get you? Who respect you? Who tell it like it is and who you can just do you around? If you’re like me then it has probably been a bit too long. And we need to fix that, mmmkay? You ready? You NEED girl time. Here is how to do it in 5 easy steps.
Recently I took Kayla to Legoland California for the ribbon cutting of One World Trade Center in Miniland. The week before I attempted to explain 9/11 to Kayla in a way that seemed appropriate for a seven year old. Which wasn’t exactly easy. With so many terrible things happening in our world lately I want her to understand and be educated but also not live in fear.
I am notoriously hard to buy for so this year when my birthday rolled around I asked Craig to please give me the gift of travel. To go somewhere we had not been. To have a nature filled experience for not so nature-y people that could be done in a long weekend since of course, we’re still parents to young children.
And he delivered! Can you tell? We had an amazing time in Steamboat Springs, CO with the perfect balance of nature, relaxation, exploration and good food. Flying into Denver and driving to Steamboat seemed to make the most sense financially and to take in more of that Colorado feeling. [Read more…]
Last year I visited Rancho Bernardo Inn to attend a conference and knew I wanted to come back for a different type of trip. One where I wasn’t heading from place to place and could just soak in the charm of this hidden escape tucked away in a residential area of San Diego.
Who better to explore it with than Craig? Coming off of our high from a nice weekend away last month and heading into my busiest season of work travel it was nice to visit a place that felt removed from the everyday yet was really only about 20 minutes from our home.
