Mad love for Mexico any time of year. It is always a reliable family trip and affordable as well. But the public art and the food tours this last time sealed the deal for me. Check out this funky mural in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. This was a quick tour through a very funky hotel inspired by Frieda Kahlo. It is in the old downtown area not far from the flea markets and the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta. The colours were magnificent and we might not have stopped if not for Raj. But sometimes when a…
Dolphin Discovery Aquaventuras Waterpark Puerto Vallarta tops my list of favourite things to do with family in Puerto Vallarta. Recently I travelled through Puerto Vallarta with my daughter. We were on a press trip that delivered tonnes of fun and adventure for everyone. Dolphin Discovery was one of our favourite excursions. This is why we loved this family waterpark. Where can you pet a sea lion, be propelled through a pool like a Superhero with dolphins beneath your feet and race watersides all day? I am talking about Dolphin Discovery and Aquaventuras Waterpark in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico of course. Lucky for…
This is the girl who made me a Mom. My oldest and my heart. My brave girl who zip lined and plunged right in to swim with dolphins, petted sea lions at Dolphin Discovery and showed no fear in Mexico. She makes me proud every day, sometimes it’s the daily school and life stuff. Sometimes, it’s the snapshots shared on a big magical travel adventure. I am amazed just watching her make her way in the world with a heart wide open to helping others, and strong shoulders lifting them up. Two weeks ago we travelled together to Puerto…
Until recently I assumed Puerto Vallarta was simply a cruise ship stop. I was so wrong. Puerto Vallarta Mexico is a destination with a rich culture, amazing food and a host of activities for travellers of all sorts. This is another post in my Puerto Vallarta family travel series. This month I visited Puerto Vallarta for the first time ever. I have been to Mexico a few times now. We travelled to Cancun as a family and we toured Chichen Itza a few years ago. I find Mexico to be extremely affordable and enjoyable for family travel. We have also stayed…
Let’s start at the beginning. I have so much to share about our mother daughter trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There’s the time my 12-year-old zip lined high above a Mexican canyon of sorts and then rappelled down the side of a mountain and swam with dolphins. But, you will have to wait for that. This is the story of our resort. The place we ate and swam and hung out at the beach and collapsed fast asleep. The CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa, was located less than a ten minute drive from Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport Puerto…
This past week Payton and I spent some time in Puerto Vallarta. One morning we went to Dolphin Discovery and we had time to interact with dolphins. It was a fun morning and it was a special few days with my oldest girl.
Puerto Vallarta Facts are good to know before you visit. This beach hotspot is stunning to visit, if you ever head to Mexico. Here you will find great food and a rich culture as well. Plus this area is very family friendly. It is so much more than a cruise ship port. Here are a few Puerto Vallarta facts you might not know about this cosmopolitan city.

Until now I thought of Puerto Vallarta as a cruise ship destination…
I remember this as if it was yesterday. Our first ever family trip to Disney was a super special memory for all of us to treasure now and for life. Disney is a rite of passage and a journey that everyone hopes to take at some point in their lives. Our First Visit to the Magic Kingdom I felt like posting this Throwback Thursday today. Lately, I am craving travel madly. Craving travel to Disney even more than usual. I miss the happiest place on earth. Plus I think we need a break. Anyways this was our first family…
As some of the readers here already know, we are getting ready to move. The recommendation way back in September was to paint the hall. So husband removed the wallpaper and then we hired a painter to come in and freshen the house up. The painting is almost done. We still need trim work. Now the tricky part – keeping it free of marks and kid’s fingerprints until we sell it.
