    Sunburn Treatment – Soothing A Burn

    July 22, 2016 - By 

    Sunburn treatment is something everyone needs at some point. We’ve all been there and then we’ve all felt the miserable sting of a sunburn afterwards. Many of us are old enough to recall a time when sunburns happened and we didn’t really pay too much heed. Now, we know better. As parents, we try to teach our kids that burning their skin now is setting them up for possible cancer later, but sunburns happen even when trying to be careful. Here are a few ideas for how to maximize relief with sunburn treatment. Sunburn Treatment – A Little Old School. A Little New School There’s…

    Road Trip Safety On and Off The Road #travel

    July 21, 2016 - By 

    Road trip safety is something that we can all use a refresher course on. It’s so easy to become complacent on the road. Finding a rest stop becomes the paramount objective when exits become sparse, and we tend to forget dangers are literally everywhere. It’s important to remember that road trip safety is as much a part of travel as remembering to be safe abroad. Keys to Road Trip Safety Safety on the road begins with planning, continues with planning, and ends with planning. Seriously, though. Road trip safety requires thought and vigilance, just like any other form of safety or…

    The Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina, Martin County, Florida

    July 19, 2016 - By 

    The Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. The atmosphere is upscale. The location is fantastic and the surroundings are truly gorgeous, but the service here is the star of the show. This June I was invited to do a travel writing gig in Martin County, Florida. I was staying in Indian River County for a couple of days and having a blast trying paddle boarding and kayaking. Quite frankly I lost all track of time and just finished up my activities, when I realized I was expected in Martin County…

    Video Game Themed Word Search for Kids

    July 14, 2016 - By 

    Are your kids total video game junkies like mine? Do they love to spend an afternoon playing Minecraft or Mario Bros, or even Undertale? Mine have moved on from the Five Nights at Freddie’s phenomenon to Minecraft and Undertale. They also like video game toys and merchandise too so I figured this free Video Games Word Search would be perfect for them. Young Gamers I mean what could be better than a video game at this age? Not much I think. They eat, sleep, and breathe games and gaming. But, maybe you stand a chance at getting them to do something…

    Ontario Pioneer Camp Blogger Weekend #PioneerCamp16

    July 13, 2016 - By 

    My kids have been campers for years. For the past few years I have heard great things about Ontario Pioneer Camp. But until recently we had no experience with the camp ourselves. That changed last month when we drove to Huntsville in the stunning Muskoka area of Ontario and took part in Ontario Pioneer Camp Blogger’s Weekend. What a fun weekend it was! Camp is a big investment. It’s an investment in your child. It’s also an investment in you as a parent. BUT, before you book any camp you need to know what to expect. Camp is one of those…

    A Day at Coral World in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

    July 12, 2016 - By 

    This past year we took a cruise aboard the massive Norwegian Escape and it was wonderful. We are huge cruising fans and enjoy that type of family travel. One of the reasons I opted for this particular cruise this time around was the fact that we would stop in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. We had one day to spend there, which was not enough, but it was a taste. St. Thomas Port of Call St. Thomas is a gorgeous port of call. So what is there to do if you have a stop in St. Thomas with children? Well,…
