It’s archives week here at SMB. Here’s one from our early days: ***** Pre-Nora I used to travel a lot (and by a lot I mean once a month). And I’ll be honest, even without a baby, airplane travel can be stressful by itself. They’ve made security a mini-nightmare (all for good reasons but please) and sitting [...]

Moving with Kids | What Really Happened
Even with all of my preparation, let’s just say that things didn’t go exactly as planned. Do the ever? I don’t know if you remember, but we had grand plans of leaving each morning at 4AM so that we could arrive at our destinations before dinner= FAIL. Instead we didn’t end up getting out on the [...]
Getting Out of Arizona…Kauai.
This summer my husband and I were given a gift. We were able to spend 6 days on Kauai–alone. Travel can be a luxury at any time, but when we get to go someplace like that without our kids and really relax? Now that’s a gift. But I wouldn’t just recommend Kauai for the once-in-a-lifetime [...]
Juniper Well Ranch – Phoenix Family Weekend Away
In a hidden spot two hours outside of Phoenix, we found the cutest place to take the family for a weekend away. It has a little something for the kids, a little something for the adults, and lots of rustic charm. It is called Juniper Well Ranch. This place is tucked down a long dirt [...]

Adventures in Vacation Rental – Part I
With only seven weeks of school to go, my thoughts start to drift to the most important aspect of summer survival: how to escape this heat bubble we call home. We are not so fortunate as to have a “summer home” to run away to, so last year we borrowed someone else’s for a week. [...]
If You Can’t Take The Heat…
You know that point in an Arizona summer when you’ve just about had it? When the kids stand with their faces pressed against the sliding doors asking – again – if they can go outside and you have to say – again – that no, it’s too hot. And you’ve already done this twelve times, [...]

Getting Out of Arizona: A Baby, A Plane and A Road Trip
I just got back from my first big trip back East with Reagan. She’s now 10.5 months old and I had no idea what to expect. In fact, once I got to Nashville (which is a 3 hour flight), I began to think that I was insane for even considering making a road trip to Fayetteville, NC (for a [...]
