Family Travels
In partnership with Ball Park. Do you have active kids? Me too. They love everything from soccer and baseball to ice skating and bowling. They want to try everything, and luckily have temperaments where they get along great with other kids, and with each other. They work together and cheer each other on, and they […]
I’m sharing #beyondordinary in my life as part of a Sahale Snacks® sponsored series for Socialstars™ When we’re on the road, or hiking through local woods, or strolling through apple orchards, we need something to snack on that’s healthy, tasty, and satisfying. I love trail mix, and I’ve been making my own trail mix since […]
Post Sponsored by Lunchbox. All opinions are 100% my own. Family dinner parties are a chance to reconnect and really open up, catch up on what is happening, and just relax together…and I love to be the host of our family parties. And when I’m serving a delicious feast that everyone loves, it’s the best […]
Thank you to Smith & Noble for sponsoring today’s post about #windowsafety and #safeandstylish window treatments. Once you have children, one of the first things new parents do is baby-proof the house. We love our little treasures and want to keep them safe, and there is so much that can harm children in a home […]
This post brought to you by Marriott Rewards Premier and United MileagePlus Credit Cards from Chase. All opinions are 100% mine. Where are you headed for the holidays this year? Many people love to visit family, or simply take a getaway trip over the holidays during their vacation from school and work, so if you […]
We aren’t traveling this holiday, but we will be having a huge extended family trip this summer that I am really looking forward too. And I agree, put the electronics away and just enjoy each others company!
I am not sure we will be doing a whole lot over the holidays. If we travel to visit family though, I will for sure be turning off the electronics!
We generally stay home for the holidays but I still love all your suggestions! Especially including everyone.
I’m still debating where and how I will spend the holidays. I usually stay close to home but maybe not this year.
We just got back from ur holiday vacation. I take advantage of points while on vacation.
I have been trying to tell my husband for years that we dont need any more stuff. Lets take a trip. I think he finally is caving and we are going to go on a trip over Christmas break. Here in state, go skiing, but still, memories are better than stuff and things.
Some great suggestions. Getting together with friends and holidays is important, so making the most of the time should be a priority.
These are perfect tips for a vacation! I agree, the more the merrier!
Great advice. I totally agree with no electronics {except for maybe photos!} and using a rewards system!
I hope to travel some over the holidays. We always invite whoever over for Christmas, just to leave the option open.
Love this. Yes, I’ll be focusing on only what matters this holiday season and thats my family!
These are all awesome tips! Especially inviting everyone. I’ve found myself scrambling from place to place trying to fit everyone in and it was no fun.
I’m so excited we are going back to Texas for the holidays. But I’ll be headed to DC and then LA in the coming weeks! So excited!
Hmm…nowhere really yet. I work through the holidays which is kind of sad, haha! I’m much in need of vacation.
